Hi friends

DB is attached. I am after a price value in query where I can get lookup values from the main table. I am not getting the values corresponding to the main table.

Please help/

Your table is built incorrectly...it is not atomic.
The fields should be:

ID
RouteNo
State
Branch
Road_Air
Size
Month
RATE

Then you can supply the month as criteria. Or another table with ID,MONTH,RATE to correspond to the main tbl.

I have written few queries. but the result is not coming out. It just gives me either values.

Price3 : Dlookup(Format([SvcDate]), "Prices_Table", "[routeno]= " & [Table_Name].[routeno] &" And [size]= " &[tablename].[size] &"")

The above query just gives me wrong numbers when i execute the above query.

As Ranman has indicated you have a spreadsheet layout and not a normalized data table for a relational database. You need to restructure your data as he has indicated to allow for easy query of your data. Look at this link on Fundamentals of RDBMS

http://sbuweb.tcu.edu/bjones/20263/A...sDB_Design.pdf

You will have to lose the spreadsheet mindset when working with a database or you will have difficulty extracting your data in meaningful manner. Learn about normalization and working with data tables will become very easy.

This is the second time I have urged you to normalize your data. Your issue will not go away until you accept our advise and fix your db.
