3-Tier Crosstab Report

[Cydney]

I am needing to create a query (or queries) which when completed will
popluate a report that has a 3-tiered column layout. I have multiple Stations
(numbered text field like: PMW-8) where multiple Samples (numbered text like:
ATA-001) were taken on various Dates (Month/Year format). Those become my
tiers. I cannot depend on all Stations or Sample IDs being used, so I need to
make sure the headers are dynamic.

I need to identify the total amount of each Parameter (Ferrous Iron,
Methane, Sulfate, etc..) that were Sampled on the various random Dates at
each of the Stations.

Does anyone have a good example of this type of layout?

How about a crosstab query using Sample Dates as columns and Samples as rows
grouped on Station.

Thank you for your response.
That only gives me the one column heading. I also need to have Station IDs
and Sample IDs to be grouped at the top as well. There are about 65 stations
and any number of Sample IDs and Sample Dates.. so I can't make anything
absolute. The closest thing to absolute is the Station IDs. They probably
won't be adding any more.

Can you layout what you would like to see?
Something like this --
Date1 Date2 Date3
Station1
Sample1
Sample2
Sample3
Station2
Sample1
Sample2

Actually more like this:

Station ID: PMW-1 PMW-3 PMW-8 PMW-9 PMW-10
Sample ID: ATA-001 ATA-002 ATA-003 ATA-004 ATA-005
Parameters mm/yyyy: 3/09 3/09 3/09 3/09 3/09

Total BTEX 387.9 BDL BDL BDL BDL
Benzene 207.0 BDL 208.1 BDL BDL
Toluene 30.9 BDL BDL <1 BDL
Ethyl benzene 62.1 BDL BDL BDL BDL
Xylenes (total) 87.9 BDL BDL BDL BDL

There are several more parameters and about 65 different Station IDs each
with their own set of Sample IDs and dates.

I truly appreciate the help.

Cydney,

My suggestion would give you the layout Karl shows here.
