Custom pivot table within my database - Recruitment and Hiring

[Sara_Moe]

I am helping to create an applicant tracking system (converting from an elaborate google spreadsheet) and am stuck on one thing. I need to track how many applicants we receive for each position from each source (such as Idealist or LinkedIn).

One table in my base is a list of the available positions. Another table in my base is a list of ad posting sources (aka, the different websites and forums where we post available job descriptions).

I am able to utilize linked fields and count fields to tell me how many ad posting sources I have posted each available position to, and also to tell me which source the candidate we eventually hire came to us through. However, I have not found any way to track the number of applications we receive for each position from each ad posting source. Anyone have thoughts on how to do this?
