[11] 6 Your manager wants a list of full names of all flight crews who have flown into or out of Hong Kong. Create a report which lists the names of these crew members as well as their Payroll number and the flight numbers of both their flights into and out of Hong Kong. Group this report by the crew code (which is a single letter) and include the payroll number of crew leader in the group header. Within each crew code, group the report by the flights showing the departure airport code and arrival airport code. Please note: crew members may appear more than once on this list. Add a suitable title to the report. Make sure that the text Report prepared by: followed by your name, Centre number and candidate number are added to the header. Prepare this report so that it fits on a single portrait page wide and that the details of each crew do not split over two pages. Where possible, fit more than one crew on a single page. Print this report. [15] 7 Create a report to be presented to your manager. This must count the number of flights between each of the airports. Display the codes for the departure airports as row headings, and codes for the destination airports as column headings. Do not include the total number of flights to and from each airport. Place your name, Centre number and candidate number in the footer. Print this report on a single portrait page, showing gridlines in the table. [8]
