I am running a report using multiple queries. Each query pulls Sales & Margin data by customer. The reason for using multiple queries is the data in broken down by year as there is too much information to consolidate into one table in access. Thus I have data for 2001, 2002 and 2003 all in seperate tables. The report was created to compare the sales and margin results, by customer, from 2001 and 2002 against the 2003 data. The problem I am having is that if data does not exist for a customer in 2001 that customer does not show at all even though data from 2002 and 2003 exists and should be compared.
I am linking store numbers and customer numbers between tables as they are the common fields in each.
In struggling with this one I have changed links so that the 2003 table is linked to 2001 and 2002 but the 2001 and 2002 tables are not linked then I changed so they were linked.
I even thought that the left to right order of the sub queries within my report query might matter. That did not seem to work.
Can anyone provide me with some insight as to how I can get all customers to show even though data might not exist in the other two years?
Please & Thanks
