Data normalization from CSV

Question

I am trying to figure out how to normalize some data in a table. No matter how I try I still get repeating groups!! Can any one offer me some guidance with this data?

This is the data that I am trying to normalize:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

As Goat CO suggested, you could create two reference tables on this one, namely, Landlord and LandLord Group. And then of course relate it to your main Table.

So, in that case you could have three tables, namely, LandLord, LandLordGroup and probably LandRental tables.

You could probably have these Tables and Fields then:

 Table  : LandLord
 Fields : LandLordID, LandLordName

 Table  : LandLordGroup
 Fields : LandLordGroupID, LandLordGroupName

 Table  : LandRental
 Fields : LandRentalID, LandLordID, LandLordGroupID, Quarter, Year, Estimate

Do not take literally the no repeating groups in 1NF (1st Normal Form) rule here because the repeating groups here are now all foreign keys from reference tables (i.e. LandLord, LandLordGroup). Additionally notice that I added a Primary Key (LandRentalID) now in your main table (i.e. LandRental).
