hi
thanks for responding. In my access dbase i have the data as in your first example.
though in my trials to find a solution i have it in excel as the first, but also additional fields such as countIF for each answer number which returns how many of each answer i get.
i actuall dont need to track the people at all, it is the answers, and how many of each answer i get, how many 1's 2's etc.
best regards
ian
