Crosstab Design

Question

I need to create a Crosstab Report.
For the row header, I have ciy
For the column header, I am using days of month
For the summary field, I have sales
The crosstab has a filter to display on sales during the last week.
I need to display all cities even if the city did not make any sales.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
Thanks again for you response. When I use the following query I get no data.
select c.city, sale date, sum(s.sales) as sales
from customers c, sales s
where s.sale_date between '{?start date}' and '{?end date}'
and s.customer_id = c.customer_id
group by c.city
After I remove the sale_date filter, I get the data. I also get the data if I set the filter in the record selection.
Can you please tell me the reason why I am not getting any data when I set the filter in the command query?
To continue working on the original issue, I removed the date filter on the command query. Here is the modified form of the query you suggested.
select c.city, sale date, sum(s.sales) as sales
from customers c, sales s
where s.customer_id = c.customer_id
group by c.city
UNION
Select distinct city, getdate(), 0 as sales
From customers
Now I set up the a filter for Sale date using the record selection in the report.
This gives me all the cities with no sales for the sale date period and sale for today
(because of "Select distinct city, getdate(), 0 as sales
From customers" query)
But I do not want to display the sale for today. How can I suppress the sale date for today?
