Need to disregard customers that have a certain product
I need the opposite to my previous question:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21488577/Hidding-or-not-counting-a-certain-customers.html
Where I need to disregard the customer if they have a certian product.
So the database is the same, but when I select Not equal to broom, it still includes customers that purchased something else besides broom.
Query example
bob lightbulbs 1 5.00
bob lightbulbs 3 15.00
bob broom 2 2.00
david Juice 1 1.50
kim pillows 2 2.50
kim broom 1 2.00
So if I wanted to exclude those customers who bought a broom, how would I do it? I managed to get this done through a complex query.
Select *
from customers
where customers not in (select customers from purchased where product=broom)
But I would like a easier way to do this, and also use a pramameter field so the users of the report can select which products they want to use fo the report. I don't see how you can use pramameters in a SQL command. There has got to be a easier way.

I believe you just add the parameter as
... where product = {?ProductType})
