I have an Access database that has checkboxes in on of the tables. I need to get a Sum of the checkboxes but, I want to convert the checkbox columns into rows instead of columns.
Here is an example of how it appears in the table:
Name DND Other CAP SAP DAP EXP Person One -1 -1 NULL NULL -1 -1 Person Two NULL -1 -1 -1 NULL NULL Person Three NULL -1 -1 NULL NULL NUll
Here is how I want the report to display the data:
Discharge Count DND 1 Other 3 CAP 2 SAP 1 DAP 1 EXP 1
I tried using a Case statement but, it didn’t come out correctly

Use a union query and check for Null:
Select T.Discharge, Abs(Sum(T.[Count])) As DischargeCount From (Select "DND" As Discharge, [DND] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable Union ALL Select "Other" As Discharge, [Other] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable Union ALL Select "CAP" As Discharge, [CAP] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable Union ALL Select "SAP" As Discharge, [SAP] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable Union ALL Select "DAP" As Discharge, [DAP] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable Union ALL Select "EXP" As Discharge, [EXP] Is Not Null As [Count] From YourTable) As T Group By T.Discharge
