Tim,

Do you want to create a spreadsheet like lay out,such as:
                          Manager                   Department
           Employee
Work
Area             10                               120
              80
Project                    9                                 43
                        35
Cups of
coffee          3                                 55
             12
etc ...

Then I think you should look into the Kronecker Delta Functions (MC once
had an article on that with Query/400 (have to look that up)).

I have written some QM queries using those functions using UNION (perhaps
CASE may do it as well). Unfortunately, I was not capable to do it in a
single query, but had to output to an outfile and use that outfile in a
second query.

If this is what yountry to achieve I put in some examples. (Not possible
now, being at home).

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
