Hello:

I'm relatively new to access and am having difficulty making a report that I
need. Currently I have an excel sheet that does what I need but it's getting
hard to view the massive amounts of data and sorting between data is
difficult.

I've got the data part of the database set-up and working but now I need a
visual way to push the data out. Preferably in a Traffic Light chart based on
4 criteria.

The data is driven via department, manager, senior manager, etc. and tracks
forecast hours vs actual hours. I want the chart to color based on
percentages.

Any suggestions?

I've looked at pivot tables but can't seem to do conditional formatting.

Thanks:

There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas
holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)
Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

Let's hope they don't need a report with the number of records per page
displayed. It's noteworthy that you find it necessary to mention your "fee"
in your grovelling twice. OP beware:

I'm not sure how migrating to Access will help you to view and amnipulate
the "massive amounts of data" any better than Excel. Also, in my
experience, the reporting tools in Excel are far superior to those in
Access.
