Query between two tables

HI
I needed some help to make a query, to two tables that I have in an access file, which I only use to store data.
The query is done from Excel, but my difficulty is how to define the statement in SQL, since I'm not very knowledgeable about it either.

So that's it, I have two tables, tblTasks and tblRoutes.

In tblTasks I have the data referring to each Task, namely who does it (OIA), its designation (TASK DESIGNATION) and the extension of that task (INSPECTION EXTENSION).

In the table tblRoutes I have the data for each OIA to do during the week, that is, I have for a given OIA the name of the route it has to do (ROUTE) and what tasks it has to do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Important: The tables must have this format and I cannot change them.

The query I need to do is; for a given OIA and for a given Route I need to know the inspection extension (INSPECTION EXTENSION) carried out for each day of the week.

NOTE: I don't know if it's possible to put my access file here?

Thanks

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Your routes table does not appear to be normalised.
Regardless, unless you can join them in some way, you are out of luck.
I am not sure OIA is going to work?, perhaps Goup on several fields?

This is a classic example of how trying to work with tables that are not normalized can make what should be "simple tasks" extremely difficult to do.
Working with data that is not normalized can be a HUGE pain!

I didn't put the link to the other post here, because it was pending on the other side, if you saw the post on the other side there was a link to this post.
Thank you very much for your answer

I don't have time to study this (leaving in minutes) but I suspect Union queries will be the only way.

Yeah, that is usually the solution to issues like this - do a separate query for each day of the week, and use "UNION" to see each sub-query together.
Just note that the results of UNION queries are NOT updateable.
