Summarizing of Data. Can it be done thru Pivot?

[ellyzadg]

Hi,

I am trying to summarize my data based on rank and position with its corresponding wage.
I'm trying to do it on pivot but cannot produce my desired result. Thank you in advance!

Below is my data

DATA
RANK	POSITION	EMPLOYEE	WAGE
1 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 1	3012
2 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 2	1004
3 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 3	1004
4 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 4	1004
5 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 5	1004
6 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 6	1004
7 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 7	1004
8 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 8	1004
9 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 9	1004
10 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 10	1004
11 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 11	502
12 UNSKILLED	LABORER	Person 12	502
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 13	570
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 14	570
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 15	570
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 16	502
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 17	502
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 18	502
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 19	502
2 SEMI SKILLED	AIDE,SURVEY	Person 20	502

<colgroup><col span="2"><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

While my desired result is:

RANK	Position	Rate
Unskilled	Laborer	3012
Unskilled	Laborer	1004
Unskilled	Laborer	502
Skilled	Aide	570
Skilled	Aide	502
Skilled	Aide	502

<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Yes this can be done via a pivot (not sure why the final 2 rows in your example desired result are identical)...

Arrange the pivot so that the fields RANK, POSITION and RATE are all in the ROWS area
Sort Rate from Largest to smallest
Right-click Unskilled and select MOVE, and then TO BEGINNING
Remove all sub-totals and Grand Totals
Change the Report Layout to tabular and select 'Repeat all Item labels'

Thank you njimack. I made a mistake on the last part. Anyways, I already tried the method you provided, But How can I remove those duplicated values? it still appears on the list of data. Thanks
