    N.B. (7/1/2013)

    I ended up going the Copy/Paste route and iterating every possible number in order to get this working - it's ugly, but it does work.

    The article that you were provided a link for on dynamic crosstabs could have saved you a lot of time. It has a technique for how to have the code write code instead of doing all that CPR (Copy/Past/Replace).

    Here it is again. You really should read it because the methods used have application in a whole lot of places.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
