Trouble with building a report from a crosstab query

C

clamfuddle

I have built a crosstab query, and now I need to create a report
based on it.

However, when I use the Report Wizard, and select that query
I'm getting an empty list of fields to choose from.

I'm stumped - I'm SURE it worked a few days ago, but maybe
I've lost a step here or something.

Thanks for your time,

Does your crosstab query have a criteria? Do you have Column Headings
defined in your crosstab? What happens if you first try open the crosstab?

Thanks, Duane -

I can open the query just fine, and it gives me the data I wish.
I created a report from a crosstab query the other day (I'm testing
various queries and reports) but today, using the wizard, I get no
list of "available fields" in the wizard.

It is obviously something I'm doing wrong - I've tried 2 databases on my
system here,
and a third database on a different system.

I know I was successful Monday, but I've slept since then and can't remember
exactly
what I did then to create the report (other than I know I have always used
the "wizards"
to create the base framework for reports).

Thanks again for your time!

Duane -

I apologize - I thought I had answered your questions.

The crosstab query appears to work correctly, and gives me the data
I am looking for.

I have several "row headings" - agent_id, source, campaign_name,
call_result_code

I have one "column heading" - a value which represents which shift was being
worked (AM,PM,EV)

I have one "value" item - the count of call_result_codes.

And I have 2 criteria - one which uses Not Like "U*" and one which is
DatePart("y,[SALE_DATE]) = DatePart("y",[CallDateTime])

The [SALE_DATE] clause is a parameter entered at runtime, and the
[CallDateTime]
value is a field in the table.

Thanks for your time!

I'm sorry. I guess you didn't understand what I meant by having column
headings defined. I would expect that your shifts are fairly static. View
the crosstab properties and enter "AM","PM","EV" into Column Headings
property.
