    Help! Combining reports with multiple values assigned to same look-up

    I am trying to combine a few different reports for my team in the field using Access. I'm a self learner so the only way I can figure to make it work is if I have one master Excel table with all the info I need for each location on one row. The problem is that I get a report for items carried in a location that has a separate row for each item that I need to pick up. I'm fairly familiar with vLookup, but I think that only applies if there is only one value assigned to the lookup. In this case there are Widgets, Dodads, and Thingy's.

    It looks like this:

    1 Widget
    1 Dodad
    1 Thingy
    2 Widget
    2 Dodad
    3 Widget
    3 Dodad
    3 Thingy

    I need it to look like this:

    1 Widget Dodad Thingy
    2 Widget Dodad
    3 Widget Dodad Thingy


    Any help would be greatly appreciated! This would really help me make a good impression with my supervisors!

    I attached a slightly more sophisticated example of what I'm working with in Excel.
