This class picks up where Expert Level 17 left off. We are continuing our work with Crosstab Queries. We will also learn about Find Duplicates Queries, and Find Unmatched Queries. We'll also take a look at some advanced query properties, and create a query with a Cartesian Product.

Today we will begin by creating a crosstab query to show sales by sales rep by month. We will learn how to create fixed column headings (so we can decide what to display on top of each column). We'll see how criteria and parameters work with crosstab queries, and how you have to declare explicit query parameters in order to get them to work.

Next we'll create another crosstab query showing sales by sales rep by quarter. We'll use the query wizard to create date groupings and a totals column.  We'll also discuss how to use crosstab query data in other queries.

Next we'll learn how to use the PARTITION function to display our products in tiers of $50 increments. How many products do we have in each category in the $50 to $100 price range? This function will help us figure that out.

Next we will create a Find Duplicates Query. You can use this type of a query to find duplicate information in your tables. For example, how many customers do we have with the same company name?

We will cover many of the more advanced query properties such as unique values, unique records, output all fields, recordset type, order by, filter by, ODBC timeout, max records, record locks, orientation, subdatasheet, and more.

Next we will create a Find Unmatched Query. This will help you to find records in Table A that don't have a matching record in Table B. For example, "show me all of the customers who don't have contacts," or "show me all of the products that aren't in a product category."

Finally we will build something called a Cartesian Product where you have a record in Table A matched up to each record in Table B. This is great for creating team schedules, for example, where Team 1 has to play each of the other teams in the league twice (home and away).

This is the 18th class in the Access Expert series. There's a lot of great material in this class. Learning Crosstab, Find Duplicates, and Find Unmatched Queries will add extra flexibility to your databases. Of course, if you have any questions about whether or not this class is for you, please contact me.
