Say I have the following table

Employee ID....Name....Gender...City


I want to know how many males work in each city and put it in a column chart.



So I create crosstab query as follows...

Row Heading = Gender - Where males only
Column Heading = City
Value = Count of EmployeeID
Row Heading = Count of TotalOfID:EmployeeID


I need to generate the report in the following format:

report to be in tablular form (single row for males, one column per city to give the number of males)

add a column graph to the report (horizontal-Axis=City, vertical-axis = Total males)


The report in tabular form works well the way I do it.

In order to generate the graph, I would intuitively use Value = SumOfTotalOfEmployeeID, Axis=City, Series=Gender

Unfortunately that does not work because the result of the crosstab query yields individual city names for the column headings rather than having them grouped as a [City] field...and I can only put one item in the chart wizard for the axis (and not a whole bunch of different cities)



I have a workaround with the crosstab query...as follows


Row Heading = City ***add dummy row heading to have cities grouped as a single field to generate the graph***
Row Heading = Gender - Where males only
Column Heading = City
Value = Count of EmployeeID
Row Heading = Count of TotalOfEmployeeID:PID

This allows me to enter the following data in the graph wizard as follows

AXIS = City
DATA = SumOfTotalofEmployeeID
Series=Gender

which works well


But now unfortunately the tablular report is screwed up as I do not have a single line with all males in each city....my tabular report now has as many lines as I had cities where males are living.


Is there anyway to get both the graph and single-line tabular data in the report. I do not like the graph option of adding the datatable to the graph.


Thanks for your help.
