Access Union Query in Excel

Hi Experts,

I have a union query in Access 2010 that I would like to use in Excel 2010.  I can't seem to get this query to show up in the Data Connection.  If I try MS Query I get "Too few parameters. Expected 3."

Here is the sql for the union query:

SELECT [Store Info].greatplains AS Store, dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals.DateOfBusiness, "Cash" AS [Desc], dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals.Deposit AS Amt, "" AS TypeID
FROM [Store Info] INNER JOIN dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals ON [Store Info].RadiantNbr = dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals.FKStoreId
WHERE ((([Store Info].greatplains)="FTMY") AND ((dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals.DateOfBusiness)>#09/01/2013#))
ORDER BY dbo_dpvHstSalesTotals.DateOfBusiness DESC;

UNION ALL SELECT CompMaster.STORE, dbo_dpvHstGndTender.DateOfBusiness, UCase([compmaster].[NAME]) AS [Desc], ([Amount]+[TIP]) AS AMT, dbo_dpvHstGndTender.TypeId
FROM CompMaster INNER JOIN ([Store Info] INNER JOIN dbo_dpvHstGndTender ON [Store Info].RadiantNbr = dbo_dpvHstGndTender.FKStoreId) ON (CompMaster.ID = dbo_dpvHstGndTender.TypeId) AND (CompMaster.STORE = [Store Info].greatplains)
WHERE (((CompMaster.STORE)="FTMY") AND ((dbo_dpvHstGndTender.DateOfBusiness)>#09/01/2013#) AND ((dbo_dpvHstGndTender.Type)=3));

Any help is appreciated

Is dbo_dpvHstGndTender.TypeId a string?  In your first select you're setting it as an empty string.  Typically IDs are integer types (use 0, -1, or null as undefined values).

May not be the issue, but may be an issue.

If I remove that column from the 1st query I get a message that states "The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"

I just added that column to the first query to get to the same number of columns that the second query has.  There is a value returned in the second query.
