    Have to build query that expands the multi-value field elements to separate records. https://support.office.com/en-us/art...E9BEBBEC31#bm7

    I NEVER use multi-value fields.

    Don't use multi-value fields. Like the rerror states : "not valid (can't be used) in a CROSSTAB query"

    This is one of many reasons experienced developers do not use multi-valued fields. They are a real pain in the backside.
    I never use multi-valued fields nor look up FIELDS (in tables).

    I also avoid multivalue fields but you can try using [multivaluefield].[value] rather than just multivaluefield but may not work. However here is a link on how you are supposed to do it

    good luck with your project
