Question

I have a three column table which lists every person, every event they may have attended, and what percentage of the time they were there. I would really like to display this on one page with the person names on the side and the event names across the top.

Here’ an example of what I have:

NAME    EVENT       %ATTENDANCE
Smith   Rock Climbing   50
Allen   Rock Climbing   78
Moore   Rock Climbing   100
Moore   Canoeing    100
Moore   Fencing     98
Moore   Archery     34
Allen   Archery     100
Allen   Canoeing    87

And here’s what I would like to show.

NAME    ROCK CLIMBING   CANOEING    FENCING     ARCHERY
Smith   50      -       -       -
Allen   75      87      -       100
Moore   100     100     98      34
