You're dead on again, Skip. But formulas outside the PT are rendered useless as soon as filter options change the layout of the PT results.
I just don't think I can get the best of all worlds ... the flexibility of the PT PLUS the power of complex functions.
I appreciate your help.
Skip,
I use those functions now. How does one use those in a PivotTable? As far as I can tell PT's do not provide that kind of formula insertion ... so that I can utilize the PT flexibility, while also getting the analysis from the functions you suggested. Is it possible?
Thanks, again.
Sorry ... don't know how to attach a file. The 8 cell example is really exactly the source data to work with.
Goal stated in words ... which I can do outside a PivotTable ... but trying to take advantage of PT flexibility ...

Count only the sold results
Show me the...
Simple data setup ... each record is a sales lead. Each record includes a result column - sold or unsold. Simple example might look like ...
Lead Result

6/2/10 Sold
6/3/10 Sold
6/4/10 Unsold
I would like a "report" result like this ...

I want to duplicate a record in the same table - all the data except the key field, of course. The append query is easy enough. For example, here I am duplicating record #2 in my test table called zzTblJunk:
INSERT INTO zzTblJunk ( Field1, Field2, Field3 ) SELECT zzTblJunk.Field1...
Your explanations make perfect sense. And I know from putting your solution into practice it works fantastically.
My indexes were already in place, but I did add the "Top 1" syntax to speed things up even further.
Thanks, again. I learned a lot from your posts!

I understand the goal, but how does what you wrote achieve it?
Still, I plugged it into my live data, and it works. Thanks a million!

Hello Amazingly Smart People,
I did a search and found the answer to my question. However, the answer is excessively slow. I'm wondering if you know a better way.
Need: To delete records from TblA when the key value of the records does not appear in several related tables.
Solution:
DELETE *...
This seems like it should be simple, but for some reason it's not (for me) ...
Table1:
RecID Client
1 A
2 B
3 C
Table2:
RecID Client
1 D
2 A
3 E
As you can see Client A appears in both tables, but the other clients do not. How do I query the Client value...
Thanks Jerry,
As it turns out, when I took Duane's ideas to the real situation I realized that there will always be some kind of sale in any month. Therefore, the cartesian query that sets up the agent and month combinations does not filter for type of sale. That way I'm guaranteed to always...
That's great, Duane. Thanks! I can tweak that to the reality of my situation.
Now ... what if there aren't sales in every month? In that case the cartesian query cannot include that month, and so I will have a missing month for each agent instead of a zero month for each agent.
In reality...
