Hi All,

Hope you can help, I currently have a table with the following colums

PC, Software Installed

So the data in the table may look like this.

Code:
PC1, MS Access
PC2, MS Access
PC2, Excel
PC3, MS Access
PC2, Outlook
PC3, Ladyboys of Bangkok screen saver.
PC3, Outlook
I would like to be able to do the following, first -

Produce a query which looks like the following

Code:
                                                  PC1     PC2       PC3
Excel                                                     [tick]
Outlook                                                   [tick]   [tick]
Ladyboys of Bangkok screen saver                          [tick]
MS Access                                        [tick]   [tick]   [tick]

And then, which would be really cool for the query to sort by the software that installed on the most PC's - see below

Code:
                                                  PC1     PC2       PC3
MS Access                                        [tick]   [tick]   [tick]
Outlook                                                   [tick]   [tick]
Excel                                                     [tick]
Ladyboys of Bangkok screen saver                          [tick]

The best I can do with Crosstab is to generate data with the PC names and the software for the rows - no problem, but the problem is a) how to change the data in the crosstab to a "tick" and b) how to sort by most popular software.

Hope you can help, thanks in advance.

Regards
 
See attached example.

The tick you ask for is a boolean. You can change it to an x if you like or format it as a tick in a report.
