"errors because my primary key "EmployeeNumber" has duplicates."
You cannot have have duplicates in primary key.
Take off the primary key icon from your Employee Number.
What are the steps that you took? When you are importing the data in Access from Excel, it would ask you if you want...
Your join does not generate common data then.
there must be common data between the two joins.
do a left outer join if you dont care if the second table does not a common data.
Ask the clip, what is left outer join query.
Call your table "Table1"
then create a query, do not drag a table, edit the sql,
paste this.
SELECT Table1.Name, Table1.Type, Table1.Quantity, SUMALL.SumOfPrice
FROM Table1 LEFT JOIN
(SELECT Table1.Name, Sum(Table1.Price) AS SumOfPrice
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.Name) as SumALL
ON...
Name, Quantity, Price, Type
AC32, 755.95,13698, LM
AC32, 320.89, 1736,EA
but I would like it such that,
Name, Quantity(LM), SumOf LM+EA,
AC32, 755.95, 15434,
Create a crosstab query, drag all fields
name = group
quantity where = lm
price = sum
