I have a crosstab query with Well Name as row heading , site visit Dates as
column headings (formatted as "yyyy"), and averaged water level measurements
data as the values. The column headings range from 2004-2010 and some wells
have no measurements during some of these years.

I need to create a dataset from the crosstab that shows total number of
years for which each well has data. My attempts at changing the column
headings and values around to accomplish this have been futile. Please help.

Post your crosstab SQL.

TRANSFORM Avg(water_level) AS x
SELECT well, count(x) as years
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY well
PIVOT Year([visit_date]);

It isn't really clear what you would expect to return in the Count(X) as
Years. You could create a totals query that groups by Well and Year. Then
create another totals query that groups by Well and counts the number of
years. Add this to your crosstab and join the Well columns and group by the
CountOfYears.

You can get any aggregate value from pivotet columns, by using its alias:

TRANSFORM Avg(water_level) AS x
SELECT
well
, count(x)
, avg(x)
, sum(x)

FROM MyTable
GROUP BY well
PIVOT Year([visit_date]);

You can see that it is different than:

TRANSFORM Avg(water_level) AS x
SELECT
well
, count(water_level)
, avg(water_level)
, sum(water_level)

FROM MyTable
GROUP BY well
PIVOT Year([visit_date]);
