How to Create a Crosstab Report in MS Access

Access crosstab reports display information that has been summarized and compiled in your database. A quick way to create a crosstab report is to create an auto-report from a crosstab query. The crosstab query will contain all of the fields you need in your report, and the auto-report places the details in a concise format. The crosstab report can be previewed prior to printing.
