Deep Dive into Crosstab Queries in Microsoft Access

Are you struggling with understanding how to use crosstab queries in Microsoft Access effectively? Would you like to learn how to leverage crosstab queries for deeper data analysis and create more comprehensive reports? This video is tailored to guide you through these complexities!
In this video, we'll be taking a deep dive into the functionalities of the crosstab query in Microsoft Access, presented by Pharos Technology. We'll kick off by introducing you to the basics - how to start with a crosstab query using the query wizard from the 'Create' ribbon. Next, we'll demonstrate the process of choosing tables, defining row and column headings, and selecting how you want your data to be represented. In our example, we'll be using the 'dim transactions' table, product ID as our row heading, and order date as our column heading, further refining our data representation by quarter. We'll then navigate through how the crosstab query groups data and how calculations are based on these groupings.
Furthermore, the video will educate you on how to determine what data to showcase in the center part of the crosstab, manipulate the default naming, and analyze your results in the design view. Lastly, we'll expand on the concept by explaining how you can build a crosstab query using several tables or even modify a select query into a crosstab query. By the end of this video, you'll be able to extract valuable insights from your data using crosstab queries with ease.

Very good video. I have a question for you if can. I do have crosstab query, which report budget usage per year (line) and budget departements (columns). This work well. My challenge is that I includ this query view in a continuous for footer. So fare so good. But, budget departement varies from time to time, and then, often, I miss some departements, as they were not part of the initial query when I create the form footer. Sorry for my english here. So it is possible in 2025, I have departement A, B, C. Then we work with 2026 and department are A, D, E. This is where my trouble start. D and E will not show on the report. And when 2025 will be completed or close, I will remain with B and C. I hope you can help. Thank you so much for your help
