Re: [MS_AccessPros] left substring query

Liz-

It's always a good idea to explicitly define your parameters, but a Crosstab query actually REQUIRES that you define them. You need a PARAMETERS statement at the beginning of your SQL. If you're using the Design grid, choose Parameters under Show/Hide on the Design tab.

Pros, it seems like we ought to be able to prompt the user for a leftmost substring of a field. So I'm trying this:

TRANSFORM Last(CompletionsNogales.CompleteDate) AS LastOfCompleteDate

SELECT EmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber, EmployeesNogales.Department, CategoryRequirementsNogales.Category, EmployeesNogales.FirstName, EmployeesNogales.LastName, EmployeesNogales.Shift, EmployeesNogales.Supervisor

FROM ((((EmployeesNogales LEFT JOIN EmployeeRequirementsNogales ON EmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber = EmployeeRequirementsNogales.EmployeeNumber) LEFT JOIN CompletionsNogales ON EmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber = CompletionsNogales.EmployeeNumber) LEFT JOIN SkillsNogales ON CompletionsNogales.SkillID = SkillsNogales.SkillID) INNER JOIN unionCategoriesOfEmployeesNogales ON EmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber = unionCategoriesOfEmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber) INNER JOIN CategoryRequirementsNogales ON unionCategoriesOfEmployeesNogales.CategoryID = CategoryRequirementsNogales.CategoryID

WHERE (((SkillsNogales.ExcludeFromMatrices)=False) AND ((CompletionsNogales.Skill) Like [Enter left substring:] & "*") AND ((SkillsNogales.ExcludeFromMatrices)=False) AND ((EmployeesNogales.Status)<>"Inactive"))

GROUP BY SkillsNogales.ExcludeFromMatrices, EmployeesNogales.EmployeeNumber, EmployeesNogales.Department, CategoryRequirementsNogales.Category, EmployeesNogales.FirstName, EmployeesNogales.LastName, EmployeesNogales.Shift, EmployeesNogales.Supervisor

ORDER BY EmployeesNogales.Department, EmployeesNogales.FirstName, EmployeesNogales.LastName

PIVOT CompletionsNogales.Skill;

And this:

TRANSFORM Last(CompletionsNogales.CompleteDate) AS LastOfCompleteDate

WHERE (((InStr([CompletionsNogales]![Skill],[Enter leftmost substring]))=1) AND ((SkillsNogales.ExcludeFromMatrices)=False) AND ((EmployeesNogales.Status)<>"Inactive"))

ORDER BY EmployeesNogales.Department, EmployeesNogales.FirstName, EmployeesNogales.LastName

PIVOT CompletionsNogales.Skill;

But it is erroring out. I could programmatically prompt and set a query def, but I just figured there was an easy sql that I'm missing.
