Working with databases is new to me so thank you for any assistance you can provide. I have a database where data is stored as follows:

Table: Rates
[TABLE="class: MsoTableGrid"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 61, bgcolor: transparent"] Company<o:p></o:p>
[/TD]
[TD="width: 48, bgcolor: transparent"] Item<o:p></o:p>

I want to write query to return the following:

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Sort by date Sort by votes
Hi,

that is not the standard output for queries. Also if you have enough companies (say more than 10-20) you will have an excessively long report in terms of its sideways length.

In short, the data in the table looks great already as a good way to view the data. Why would you want to see it the other way? If you insist, however, you can probably do this using a crosstab query (maybe), by summing the data values. But there can only be one value in the table for each combination of company and material, or the summing will create bad results.
