Thanks all of you!

I learn much more, it is hard to give a good if the raw data give so poor duplicate data

Anyway, group by in very powerful in SQL, if the data is grouped much.

>As John said, you have more of a cross-tab than a fully normalized table. But I understand that that wasn't you point. You can do this with a query if the types of coins is fixed:

>SUM(IIF(coins = '5', qty, 0)) AS 5_Dollar,
>SUM(IIF(coins = '10', qty, 0)) AS 10_Dollar
