Hi,
I'm trying to use access to identify how many times an indiviual appears in my database. I've got a large file which gives me all referrals, each referral comes with two identifiers, one unique to the person, another unique to the referral. This means that the person unique number may be repeated multiple times (if a person has more than one referral) but the referral number would be different each time.
I've run a query to identify the duplicates, i.e. the records where the person unique identifier is repeated. What I am trying to do is work out now how many people have been referred twice, how many three times etc. The original query looks something like this (but on a much bigger scale).
Person Referral
1 A
1 B
1 C
2 D
2 E
3 F
3 G
3 H
What I'm after is a query that will tell me that two people were referred three times (1 and 3) and that one was referred twice (2) and so on.
Any ideas? Is this even possible? I'm on Access 2010 if it makes any difference.
Thanks.
