Access Tip -  Eliminate repetitive data in reports

If you've grouped report records by a specific field (for example, by the State field), having the report repeat the same State data for each record in a group makes it hard to read and distinguish between groups. You can make Access display the State data only once per group. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the report in Design View.

  2. Right-click the State field, and select Properties.

  3. On the Format tab, set the Hide Duplicates property to Yes.

When you run the report, Access will display only the first instance of each value for the State field in a group.
