I'm making a report based on an underlying crosstab query. The query orders
numerical values first by category #, then by a variable # -- these aren't
comparable to their text equivalents in order. In other words, if I run the
query by category name, it can be sorted alphabetically, but I don't want
that; I want it to be sorted by the category #, which might be equivalent to:
A, C, D, B, etc. Same with the variable # and variable name. The query
happily performs these operations and I get output with A, C, D, B (category
names), etc.
If I base a report on that query, however, no amount of my manipulation can
recreate that same order. If I want to use the category and variable names,
then I can't seem to get them to appear in the category # and variable #
orders ...
I must be doing something simple wrong? Help.
Thanks,
Meredith
