  If you have

  Customer1  Item #1
  Customer1  Item #2
  Customer1  ....
  Customer2  Item #1
  Customer2  Item #2
  Customer2  ....

  then you can use the GROUP attribute of cfoutput, make sure you have
  oreder by customer in your SQL and ....

  <cfouput query="foo" group="customer">
      #foo.customer#
       <cfoutput>
              #item#
        </cfoutput>
        <br />
  </cfoutput>

  something like that.

  To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  I need to create a report that shows Customers in columns and items
purchased
  in rows.  To simplify this discussion, assume that there are two tables:

  PurchasedItems
       Customer
       Item #
       Qty
  Items
       Item #
       Name

  Is there a way to create a report that would look like this:

  Customer Name 1   Item #1  Item #2    Item #3 ...
  Customer Name 2  Item #1  Item #2    Item #3 ...
  ....

  It is easy to create one that looks like this:

  Customer1  Item #1
  Customer1  Item #2
  Customer1  ....
  Customer2  Item #1
  Customer2  Item #2
  Customer2  ....

  Customer Name    Item #1
  ...
