I am facing a issue in which i have to give symbology depending on unique value of one attribute and range value of another attribute. That is symbology on gender and age. like

  1. symbol1 - Male(gender) and 21-30(age)

  2. symbol2 - Male(gender) and 30-50(age)

  3. symbol3 - Male(gender) and 50 -100(age)

  4. symbol4 - Female(gender) and 21-30(age)

  5. symbol5 - Female(gender) and 30-50(age)

Thank you in advance.

Just an observation: it seems like bad data design for gender to include "children". It suggests that kids aren't male or female. Why not a separate boolean field, e.g. "Child", that is true if Age is less than or equal to 21? – GeoKevin Dec 14 '12 at 15:28
Its just the dummy example to elaborate my requirement but my bad...I have corrected it thanks @Kevin – Gunner Dec 15 '12 at 4:20

If those are the only 5 categories, I suggest adding a field to the attribute table and using the field calculator to return values of 1-5 based on those conditions (e.g. if gender="male" AND age>21 AND age<=30 then return 1, etc.). You could then symbolize based on unique values in the calculated field.
