Crosstab Queries

A Crosstab query summarizes query results by displaying one field in a table down the left side of the datasheet and additional facts across the top of the datasheet. A Crosstab query can, for example, summarize the dollars sold by a salesperson to each company. You can place the name of each company in the query output's left-most column, and you can display each salesperson across the top. The dollars sold appear in the appropriate cell of the query output (see Figure 11.20).
