Hello! Access newbie here. This is the query problem I have and below is the desired tabled result. G is a sum total.

Name Pos G

a 1b 1470
a c 32
b cf 765
b dh 432
b rf 32
b 1b 111
c lf 8
c 2b 77
c ss 543

Desired Result
a 1b 1470
b cf 765
c ss 543

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I can do this using two queries.

Let's say that your table is named Table1 and your fields are Field1, Field2, and Field3.

Create a new query from table 1, selecting Field1 and Field3. Click on the Totals button (looks like a Sigma). This should add the phrase "Group By" under each of the fields in the query. Under Field3, change the "Group By" to "Max". Let's save this query as Query1.

Now create a new query adding Query1 and Table 1 to it. Create relationships between the Field1 in Table1 and Query 1, and between MaxOfField3 from Query1 and Field3 in Table1.

Now, in click on the asterisk (*) in the Table1 box to add all these field to your query. Now view you query and you should have your desired results.

These two queries could probably be combined to one large query using SQL, if desired.
