    Transposed Query Question

    The data in the transposed table needs to be unique/individual data points. To get around this, I just checked (counted) to make sure that each date has only one instance of a chemical/element. Then I just use a max,min, or average. Should return only one value for that field. I used the...

    Excel-comparing datapoints to a criteria (Dcount or Vlookup)

    Skip and Ken, Thanks for your help. I have been running the comparison using Skip's method before I posted the question. I would make a criteria for each pollutant and then modify the previous Dcount formula. It was just getting to be very repetitive manually entering in a criteria for each...

    That works. Thanks. I actually saved it as a .CSV file and that got rid of the single quotes. Just did a cut and paste back into the .XLS file. Thanks again for your help.

    Importing excel to access with single quote problem
