Fair enough...
OK, so create a new table and call it, say, tblScoreLookup - create three columns in it:
'Probability'
'Impact' - define both of these as the same data type as their counterparts in the actual assessments table.
and 'Score' - a text field.
Save the table and (manually) fill it with rows for each possible impact/probability combination
- that should be 25 rows, by my recknoning
On each of those rows, decide what the appropriate score will be for that impact/probability combination and type it into the 'score' field
Now close the table and click on 'query design' to create a new query
It will ask you which tables you want to add - pick the main assessments table, plus the tblScoreLookup table you just created, then close the 'show table' dialog.
Now click on the probability field name in the assessments table and drag it onto the probability field in tblScoreLookup table - it should draw a line between these two, indicating a join
Do the same for impact
Next, double-click any of the fields in the assessments table you would like to see
double-click the 'score' field in tblScoreLookup
(all of these fields should appear in the query design grid)
save the query, then run it - it should show you a grid of data, including the score for each item.
Now, this query will only show you matched records - if someone enters a probability that isn't in the list, or leaves it blank, the whole assessment won't show in the table.
To overcome this, open the query in design mode again, then double-click on one of the lines joining the two tables together - you should be offered a choice - pick the one that looks like 'include all records from the assessments table and only those records from tblScoreLookup where the values are equal'
Do the same for the other join
Both of the joins should now be represented by arrows (as opposed to unadorned lines) - both pointing in the same direction - at tblScoreLookup
Run the query again - all assessments should show, with a blank score where no appropriate score was defined in tblScoreLookup
