This video tutorial will guide you through the process of leveraging the querying capabilities of Microsoft Access to create a ranking algorithm based on one of your fields (i.e., dates, numbers, etc). Although SQL databases typically have a RANK function, Microsoft Access does not, but rest assured we will create our own way of doing it. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this demonstration will provide you with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to effortlessly organize and prioritize your data in a logical and meaningful way.

We will explore various techniques for using Microsoft Access queries for ranking, and even in cases where multiple rows of data have the same value and same ranking, I will show you how to create a tie breaker system based on a value in another field (ID in our case). Through clear explanations and hands-on examples, you'll learn how to construct efficient queries that extract valuable insights from your database. Only have to do this one time and don't want to bother with SQL code? Yep, I got you covered with my quick and dirty technique that creates a new table.

Impress your colleagues and prove them wrong when they tell you it's impossible to rank data in Microsoft Access. Hit that play button and let's embark on a journey to efficient data management with Microsoft Access queries.
