Thanks Chris



>I had a tip in the January 1998 Advisor that may help. I do this all the time. It has some limitations, but the method is very useful and reliable. To summarize, if you imbed and IIF() inside a SUM() or MAX() or MIN() within a SELECT. For instance: to cross-tab sales by quarter so that for each salesman, you get the total sales by quarter,

>SELECT Salesman, :
> SUM(IIF(BETWEEN(Month(s.Date),1,3), S.Amount) AS FirstQ,;
> SUM(IIF(BETWEEN(Month(s.Date),4,6), S.Amount) AS SeconQ,;
> SUM(IIF(BETWEEN(Month(s.Date),7,9), S.Amount) AS ThirdQ,;
> SUM(IIF(BETWEEN(Month(s.Date),10,2), S.Amount) AS FourthQ,;
> FROM Sales S;
> GROUP BY Salesman

>if you dont GOUP BY , then you simply get the total sale by quarter. When you think about it, It simply catagorizes the records as it goes thru them, and sums them in the correct field, only if the statement is true. The big limitation is that you have to know the contents of the criteria field.
