I am trying to create a report that will display all products sold for the month.

My Issue is that form uses fields listing; Product-1,Product-2..etc - as they appear in the table.

How do create a query that will combine the field Product-1,Product-2 under the a field that list just "Products".
 
I do not understand the "hierarchy" you mentioned or the grouping (which I beleive I can only use in a report).

I was looking for the answer in a query. But, are you saying that I can combine field directly in a report?

You you be able to simplify your answer?

Thanks again
 
Let me attempt to simplify my question even more. I thing I am not using the correct terms.

What I have is a form that looks like:
Qty Product Price Serial #
1 AA 102 Product $1,234.34 4374-1
4 DD 123 Product $1,133.22 5612-1
3 AM/FM Radio $0

In my example, “Product” is actually three fields (Product-1, Product-2 & Product-3) in my Customers Table. I also have a Pricing table where I am retrieving my List price in the Query. What I am attempting to do via a Query is create a report that would combine the information from the Product fields (Product-1, Product-2 & Product-3) and produce the following:

Qty Product UnitPrice ListPrice Serial #
1 AA 102 Product1 $1,234.34 $1,000.00 4374-1
4 DD 123 Product2 $1,133.22 $1,050.00 5612-1
5 $2,367.56 $2,050.00

The key point – I am trying to filter some information. In the example above, I would not need to see “AM/FM Radio” – but I would need all the products that are listed as ?? ??? (two characters space and three characters). This is generally the format of my product codes.

I have been able to create is a Report that that groups my different fields. But, I have not been able to filter the information I do not want. Currently, I get blank entries and some information I do not want. I am not sure if I accomplish this in my Query or the Report?
 
Is there a simple way to group data from different fields (still using the same table)?

Should I go back and restructure my table? I attempted the Grouping function - and its not working very well. One issue, is that I have too much empty space on my report.
