Predefined Queries as Building Blocks.

Pick a Query.  (Note the Banner Table names are used for our Predefined Query Names.)
 

Need a list of Employees by Age?
 

Link the Queries and Pick the Columns (Fields) to Include.

I usually run the New Query at this point to see if I am on the right track.
 

You just need to Eliminate a few Columns, Sort the New Query, maybe Hide the Sort_Last (name) and Save it.

Oh, and that Age Query.  It includes the Revised Banner Age Calculation that increments your age on your birthday instead of the day after.  (Seems reasonable:)
