I have a table that has a lot of data, but only of four categories. I would like to return the ID of the First occurrence and last occurrence, of the type. The following is the simplified version of my data..
ID | FName | Password | Category | Outcome
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1 | Dan | something | NEW | 8
2 | Faye | another | NEW | 1
:
:
189 | Chris | Password | OLD | 2
190 | Matt | Milk | OLD | 7
:
:
1169 | Mark | Dog | LITE | 3
1170 | Nick | Land | LITE | 1
So I would like to have a query that will return the result as
CATEGORY | ID_START | ID_END
----------------------------------------
NEW | 1 | 188
OLD | 189 | 1168
LITE | 1169 | 9999
I am using Access 2010. Any help greatly appreciated.
I can sugest this:
select category, min(id) as idStart, max(id) as idEnd
from tbl
group by category
Hope this helps you
