ok so this is what I got so far
SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$(IRTSI.Incident_date,'\Qq yyyy') AS [Date By Quarter], irtsi.eir_num, count(irtsi.eir_num) AS Total
FROM IRTSI
GROUP BY Format$(IRTSI.Incident_date,'\Qq yyyy'), irtsi.eir_num, Year(Irtsi.Incident_date)*4+DatePart('q',Irtsi.Inc ident_date)-1
HAVING (((Format$(Irtsi.Incident_date,'\Qq yyyy'))=[Which Quarter (Example: Q1 2012)]) And ((count(irtsi.eir_num))>0));
This works btw, but I need it to pull more data at once, I have 4 things I need the same information for and i'm unable to get it to pull the data and total it. Makes it easier for the end user when creating reports. Any advice?
