Since this is Access VBA why don't you use the cross-tab query type in Access?

This is gonna be a monster SUM(CASE ...) query, but definitely doable as long as the column values are known. Have fun Jeff. Something like this is billable time where I come from! 😎

I suppose the OP could upgrade to SQL 2008 R2 and throw this at PowerPivot and VOILA! 😀

Man, you get this right, and I am going to send you a cheque for some pizza money for sure or steak 😉

Hopefully, this will be the final question. When you run the proc, you pass parameters for the SQLPeriodIndex, theMarket and the Segment. What do you get if you use 2 of those parameter values as replacements in the obvious spots in the following code? Be sure to post the code you end up using as well as the results. Thanks.

SELECT Data_3.Tag, Data_3.Fact,

FROM Data_3

INNER JOIN SKU_CONTENTS

ON Data_3.Tag = SKU_CONTENTS.TAG

WHERE (((Data_3.Market)=[theMarket]) AND ((SKU_CONTENTS.SEGMENT)=[theSegment]))

GROUP BY Data_3.Tag,Data_3.Fact

The reason for the question is I believe the ACCESS query may be using the Data_3.Fact data as column headers in the output and this experiment will prove that one way or the other. Since I don't have your data, I need you to be my hands and eyes.

OP: this would be SOOOO much easier if you would just give Jeff VPN access! 🙂 I also think you should be offering him at least $100/hour for his time on this one too - it goes wayyyyy beyond the norms of forum assistance ... 😎

Heh... it's alright, Kevin. I really don't want VPN access because if something goes wrong, then the "new guy" always gets the blame. Besides... there might be a couple of steaks involved. 😛

Hi Jeff,

Attached is the screen capture for DATA_3, SKU_Content, and the query after I plugged in a replacement values for what you requested. I have at the bottom the actual values I used to open in notepad.

Let me know if you need anything else. Also, I really think you should hire Kevin as your agent. He is putting up a good fight for you ...

lol

Heh... I was right. And, I looked up what PIVOT and CHOOSE do (I don't even know how to spell "ACCESS") and I believe we can do this. By the way... I like New York Strip. 😛

I'll be back... I've got a little figuring to do.

Heh... I just realized... the OP does in fact have 2008. I wonder what rev he's at?

Hey Sam!!! What rev is your SQL 2008 installation at? Ask your DBA if it's at R2 or better....

Jeff, you silly person! My big smiley indicated that my pushing R2 was a JOKE. 🙂 I think it is in CTP3 stage or so ...

Clearly you have been too busy with real life to keep up with the machinations by the SQL dev team! hehehe

Hi Jeff,

This is what I have when I check for the version value on my server

"Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (X64) Mar 29 2009 10:11:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.0 <X64> (Build 6002: Service Pack 2) (VM) "

I didn't follow your last post. Why would the version of the server matter?

Thanks

Heh... joke's on me and for the very reason you stated. :blush: Guess there's no such thing as a "PowerPivot" (until I build one) either, huh? {walking out of room, sucking thumb, twiddling hair, looking for tall glass of Scotch} :pinch:

Heh... not to worry... I'm the victim of my own ignorance (ouch!). I don't believe it will matter. 🙂
