I have an access database table containing several thousand records which I want to view only the first occurrence of data based on several fields. In the data below, the name is unique and the combination of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 are a unique combination,
name Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
A1 1 3.1.12 1
A3 1 3.1.12 2
A2 1 3.1.3 1
B4 1 3.1.5 1
B1 1 3.1.5 2
B3 1 3.1.5 3
C5 1 3.1.5 4
C3 1 3.1.7 1
C2 1 3.1.7 2
D4 2 3.1.5 1
D2 2 3.1.5 2
D1 2 3.1.6 1
D5 2 3.2.5 1
E3 2 3.2.5 2
E1 2 3.2.5 3
E2 2 3.2.6 1
E5 2 3.2.6 2
I need to output a list from this data that will give me only one record based on Level 1 and Level 2, for example the output based on the records above would be
name Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
A1 1 3.1.12 1
A2 1 3.1.3 1
B4 1 3.1.5 1
C3 1 3.1.7 1
D4 2 3.1.5 1
D1 2 3.1.6 1
D5 2 3.2.5 1
E2 2 3.2.6 1
The output could be a query, report or a new table as long as I get one record for each of Level 1 and Level 2 combined.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
