crosstab query

A query that calculates a sum, average, count, or other type of total on records, and then groups the result by two types of information  one down the left side of the datasheet and the other across the top. For example, the Quarterly Orders by Product query in the Northwind sample database is a crosstab query. You can also display data in a crosstab format by using a PivotTable list or PivotTable form.
