Acccess CrossTab Query?
Not sure if this should be a crosstab query or not, but I can't make it work.
I have extracted some data from a table which contains two values. One is the source of the business, we'll call that field SOURCE, the other is the date the enquiry was taken. We'll call that DATE.
There are around 17 different sources of business.
The object of the exercise is to create a table where the columns are the SOURCE value and the rows are the DATE value.
Each row of DATE information has to be collated by year, so the first row is all leads taken in 2015 by source of business, the next row is 2014, etc..
How to create such a query?

Just FYI, I had a separate table with the sources and was just using the ID in the main table, so my SQL statement looked like this:
TRANSFORM Count(tblSources.Source) AS CountOfSource
SELECT Year([DateTaken]) AS [Year]
FROM BiilsSourceOfLeads INNER JOIN tblSources ON BiilsSourceOfLeads.Source = tblSources.SourceID
GROUP BY Year([DateTaken])
ORDER BY Year([DateTaken]) DESC
PIVOT tblSources.Source;
Thanks again

PIVOT tblSources.Source;
Thanks again
Glad i could help

Now the client wants to get the results by financial year (July 1 - June 30) instead of calendar year. I'll post that as a new question and notify you when I do so.
It is just a matter of transforming the DateTaken field by adding or subtracting the appropriate number of months using the DateAdd( ) function.
If for example the financial year of 2015 actually began on 1 Oct, 2014, then you would do something like:
TRANSFORM Count(tblSources.Source) AS CountOfSource
SELECT Year(DateAdd("m", 3, [DateTaken])) AS [Year]
FROM BiilsSourceOfLeads
INNER JOIN tblSources ON BiilsSourceOfLeads.Source = tblSources.SourceID
GROUP BY Year(DateAdd("m", 3, [DateTaken]))
ORDER BY Year(DateAdd("m", 3, [DateTaken])) DESC
PIVOT tblSources.Source;
