Sorry but I’m new using Access

I have a crosstab query (from the table name Paddle) with Diss Unit as Row
Heading and Position as Column Heading. The data is grouped by Diss Unit.
The cross tab query works fine when I use Last in Total Row and Value in
Crosstab row under Serial No. The crosstab query work well if the data is
entered in date sequence but I need sure that the value that I get is from
the last date in the case that the data is not entered in sequence. Each
instrument will have six positions with paddles assigned to each position so
I need to document the serial number of the paddle and the date when it was
installed or changed. The paddles in each position will be changed
frequently but each one at different dates so the purpose is to have a report
of current paddles that are in use in the instrument. How can I get the
value from the last date?

Table Name Paddle

PosID - Autonumber
Diss Unit – text
Position – Text
Serial No. – text
Date Installed - Date


SQL

TRANSFORM Last(Paddles.[Serial No]) AS [LastOfSerial No]
SELECT Paddles.[Diss Unit]
FROM Paddles
GROUP BY Paddles.[Diss Unit]
PIVOT Paddles.Position;

I will appreciate any help from you
 
Don't use LAST to get the latest date installed. Use MAX.

Last returns the value of the last record accessed in each group of records.
That will not necessarily be the latest date or even the last record added to
the database. You should consider First and Last as returning an arbitrary,
more-or-less random value from the group of records in each group.

IF you post the SQL of your existing query, then we can look at it and get an
idea of exactly what you are attempting to do. Hint: View: SQL from the menu
will show the the actual SQL text instead of the graphic representation of the
SQL.

Try this --
qryLastPaddleChange
SELECT Paddles.[Diss Unit], Paddles.Position, Max(Paddles.[Date Installed])
FROM Paddles
GROUP BY Paddles.[Diss Unit], Paddles.Position;

Then ---
TRANSFORM Last(qryLastPaddleChange.[Serial No]) AS [LastOfSerial No]
SELECT qryLastPaddleChange.[Diss Unit]
FROM qryLastPaddleChange
GROUP BY qryLastPaddleChange.[Diss Unit]
PIVOT qryLastPaddleChange.Position;

The first part works but I don't know how to execute the second part in
order that I can get the value from Serial Number field

Sorry Karl But I explained wrong, the value that I need to get is the serial
number (in Serial No field) that correspond to the last date (Max date)
documented in each position.

I will apprciate any help from you, thanks..

The cross tab query actually brings me the most recent date and not the
serial number. I can’t find a way in the cross tab query that brings me the
serial number based in the most recent date.

I hope that in this way I can be more clear that I’m trying to do. My
intention is a Crosstab query that brings me the value (Serial No) stored in
the Serial No field using the most recent date and grouped by Instrument
number stored in Diss Unit field. The data is stored in the table Paddle
that is joined to other table.

The crosstab I posted would not return a date unless you have a date in the

Sorry Karl But I explained wrong, the value that I need to get is the serial
number (in Serial No field) that correspond to the last date (Max date)
documented in each position.

I will apprciate any help from you, thanks..

:

Try this --
qryLastPaddleChange
SELECT Paddles.[Diss Unit], Paddles.Position, Max(Paddles.[Date Installed])
FROM Paddles
GROUP BY Paddles.[Diss Unit], Paddles.Position;

Then ---
TRANSFORM Last(qryLastPaddleChange.[Serial No]) AS [LastOfSerial No]
SELECT qryLastPaddleChange.[Diss Unit]
FROM qryLastPaddleChange
GROUP BY qryLastPaddleChange.[Diss Unit]
PIVOT qryLastPaddleChange.Position;

Sorry but I’m new using Access

I have a crosstab query (from the table name Paddle) with Diss Unit as Row
Heading and Position as Column Heading. The data is grouped by Diss Unit.
The cross tab query works fine when I use Last in Total Row and Value in
Crosstab row under Serial No. The crosstab query work well if the data is
entered in date sequence but I need sure that the value that I get is from
the last date in the case that the data is not entered in sequence. Each
instrument will have six positions with paddles assigned to each position so
I need to document the serial number of the paddle and the date when it was
installed or changed. The paddles in each position will be changed
frequently but each one at different dates so the purpose is to have a report
of current paddles that are in use in the instrument. How can I get the
value from the last date?

Table Name Paddle

PosID - Autonumber
Diss Unit – text
Position – Text
Serial No. – text
Date Installed - Date


SQL

TRANSFORM Last(Paddles.[Serial No]) AS [LastOfSerial No]
SELECT Paddles.[Diss Unit]
FROM Paddles
GROUP BY Paddles.[Diss Unit]
PIVOT Paddles.Position;

I will appreciate any help from you
