Course table and coaching table and sales table
I want to make a report from this table on how much each coach has sold by each course period.
The query I created is as follows, but unfortunately it has a problem and I do not know where the problem is.
Please help me fix the problem
Thank you
SELECT
dbo.tblCustomersOrders.id, dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid, dbo.tblPost.postTitle,
dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName, SUM(dbo.tblCustomersOrders.prodPrice) AS TotalBuys
FROM
dbo.tblPost
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblArticleAuthor ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblArticleAuthor.articleID
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblCustomersOrders ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid
GROUP BY dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid
For this use, SUM() is an Aggregate Function, so you need to refer all the
fields that you want to get in your result set.
Example:
SELECT
dbo.tblCustomersOrders.id, dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid, dbo.tblPost.postTitle,
dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName, SUM(dbo.tblCustomersOrders.prodPrice) AS TotalBuys
FROM dbo.tblPost
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblArticleAuthor ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblArticleAuthor.articleID
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblCustomersOrders ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid
GROUP BY dbo.tblCustomersOrders.id, dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid,
dbo.tblPost.postTitle, dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName
But this query does not solve the need for your report.
If you just need to get "how much each coach has sold by each course" , you can try the query bellow.
SELECT
dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName, dbo.tblPost.postTitle,
SUM(dbo.tblCustomersOrders.prodPrice) AS TotalBuys
FROM dbo.tblPost
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblArticleAuthor ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblArticleAuthor.articleID
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblCustomersOrders ON dbo.tblPost.id = dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid
GROUP BY dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName, dbo.tblPost.postTitle
If you need, send more details regarding the desired result.
Here you can find more information about SQL SERVER Aggregate Functions:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/aggregate-functions-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
And here a quick example regarding SQL Aliases to build queries with a simple
and effective way:
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/trysql.asp?filename=trysql_select_alias_table
Per your description of the task, the problem is that you only GROUPed BY dbo.tblCustomersOrders.pid, which is the period's id I guess, but you also need to GROUP BY the coach, which is dbo.tblArticleAuthor.authorName, I guess again. Plus in the SELECT field list you can not use more columns only that are aggregated + GROUPed.

I created a query which selects sum of columns from a table grouped by a field in Crystal reports, now I want the result to be filtered by a date range from another table which I am unable to do. Please Help...
Here is the query
SELECT
BDETAIL.HSN,
SUM(BDETAIL.TAXABLE),
SUM(BDETAIL.SGST_V),
SUM(BDETAIL.CGST_V),
SUM(BDETAIL.TOTAL),
BDETAIL.SGST_P
FROM
BDETAIL
JOIN
BILL ON BDETAIL.BILL_ID = BILL.BILL_ID
WHERE
BILL.BDATE BETWEEN {?FROM_DATE} AND {?TO_DATE} )
GROUP BY
BDETAIL.HSN, BDETAIL.SGST_P
I finally figured it out ..here is the working query
SELECT BDETAIL.HSN,
sum(BDETAIL.TAXABLE),
Sum(BDETAIL.SGST_V),
Sum(BDETAIL.CGST_V),
Sum(BDETAIL.TOTAL),
BDETAIL.SGST_P
FROM BDETAIL INNER JOIN BILL ON
( BILL.BILL_ID = BDETAIL.BILL_ID AND
BILL.BDATE BETWEEN {?FROM_DATE} AND {?TO_DATE} )
GROUP BY BDETAIL.HSN, BDETAIL.SGST_P;
thank you all for showing interest in my issue.
I made a query and wanted to not have any duplicates but i got some times 3 duplicates and when i used DISTINCT or DISTINCTROW i got only 2 duplicates.
SELECT f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name,
f.departing_date+f.departing_time AS SupposedDepartingTime,
f.landing_date+f.landing_time AS SupposedLandingTime,
de.actual_takeoff_date+de.actual_takeoff_time AS ActualDepartingTime,
SupposedLandingTime+(ActualDepartingTime-SupposedDepartingTime) AS ActualLandingTime
FROM
(((Flights AS f
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a
ON a.airport_code = f.depart_ap)
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a1
ON f.target_ap = a1.airport_code)
LEFT JOIN Irregular_Events AS ie
ON f.flight_code = ie.flight_code)
LEFT JOIN Delay_Event AS de
ON ie.IE_code = de.delay_code;
had to use LEFT JOIN because when i used INNER JOIN i missed some of the things i wanted to show because i wanted to see all the flights and not only the flights that got delayed or canceled.
This is the results when i used INNER JOIN, you can see only the flights that have the status "ביטול" or "עיכוב" and that is not what i wanted.
[the results with LEFT JOIN][2]
[2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cgE2G.png
and when i used DISTINCT where you see the rows with the NUMBER 6 on the first column it appear only two times
IMPORTANT!
I just checked my query and all the tables i use there and i saw my problem but dont know how to fix it!
in the table Irregular_Events i have more the one event for flights 3,6 and 8 and that is why when i use LEFT JOIN i see more even thou i use distinct, please give me some help!
Not entirely sure without seeing the table structure, but this might work:
SELECT f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name,
f.departing_date+f.departing_time AS SupposedDepartingTime,
f.landing_date+f.landing_time AS SupposedLandingTime,
de.actual_takeoff_date+de.actual_takeoff_time AS ActualDepartingTime,
SupposedLandingTime+(ActualDepartingTime-SupposedDepartingTime) AS ActualLandingTime
FROM
((Flights AS f
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a
ON a.airport_code = f.depart_ap)
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a1
ON f.target_ap = a1.airport_code)
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT
ie.flight_code,
de1.actual_takeoff_date,
de1.actual_takeoff_time
FROM
Irregular_Events ie
INNER JOIN Event AS de1
ON ie.IE_code = de1.delay_code
) AS de
ON f.flight_code = de.flight_code
It is hard to tell what is the problem with your query without any sample of the output, and without any description of the structure of your tables.
But your problem is that your are querying from the flights table, which [I assume] can be linked to multiple irregular_events, which can possibly also be linked to multiple delay_event.
If you want to get only one row per flight, you need to make sure your joins return only one row too. Maybe you can do it by adding one more condition to the join, or by adding a condition in a sub-query.
EDIT
You could try to add a GROUP BY to the query:
GROUP BY
f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name;
I have tried endless things to get this to work and it seems to break over and over again and not work. I'm trying to GROUP BY product after I have calculated the field quantity returned/quantity ordered, but I get the error
your query does not include the specified expression 'quantity_returned/quantity_ordered' as part of an aggregate function.
I do not want to GROUP BY quantity_returned, quantity_ordered, and product, I only want to GROUP BY product.
Here's what my SQL looks like currently...
SELECT
quantity_returned/quantity_ordered AS percentage_returned,
quantity_returned,
quantity_ordered,
returns_fact.product
FROM
Customer_dimension
INNER JOIN
(
Product_dimension
INNER JOIN
(
Day_dimension
INNER JOIN
returns_fact
ON Day_dimension.day_key = returns_fact.day_key
)
ON Product_dimension.product_key = returns_fact.product_key
)
ON Customer_dimension.customer_key = returns_fact.customer_key
GROUP BY returns_fact.product;
When you use a group by you need to actually include everything in your select that isn't a aggregate function.
I have no idea how your tables are set up, but I am throwing a blind dart. If you provide fields in each of the 4 tables someone will be better able to help.
SELECT returns_fact.product, count(quantity_returned), count(quantity_ordered), count(quantity_returned)/count(quantity_ordered) as percentage returned
I am fairly new in Access and SQL programming. I am trying to do the following:
Sum(SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.Amount) AS [Sum Of PaymentPerYear]
and group by year even when there is no amount in some of the years. I would like to have these years listed as well for a report with charts. I'm not certain if this is possible, but every bit of help is appreciated.
My code so far is as follows:
SELECT
Base_CustomerT.SalesRep,
SO_SalesOrderT.CustomerId,
Base_CustomerT.Customer,
SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.DatePaid,
Sum(SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.Amount) AS [Sum Of PaymentPerYear]
FROM
Base_CustomerT
INNER JOIN (
SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT
INNER JOIN SO_SalesOrderT
ON SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.SalesOrderId = SO_SalesOrderT.SalesOrderId
) ON Base_CustomerT.CustomerId = SO_SalesOrderT.CustomerId
GROUP BY
Base_CustomerT.SalesRep,
SO_SalesOrderT.CustomerId,
Base_CustomerT.Customer,
SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.DatePaid,
SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.PaymentType,
Base_CustomerT.IsActive
HAVING
(((SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.PaymentType)=1)
AND ((Base_CustomerT.IsActive)=Yes))
ORDER BY
Base_CustomerT.SalesRep,
Base_CustomerT.Customer;
You need another table with all years listed -- you can create this on the fly or have one in the db... join from that. So if you had a table called alltheyears with a column called y that just listed the years then you could use code like this:
WITH minmax as
(
select min(year(SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.DatePaid) as minyear,
max(year(SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.DatePaid) as maxyear)
from SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT
), yearsused as
(
select y
from alltheyears, minmax
where alltheyears.y >= minyear and alltheyears.y <= maxyear
)
select *
from yearsused
join ( -- your query above goes here! -- ) T
ON year(T.SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.DatePaid) = yearsused.y
You need a data source that will provide the year numbers. You cannot manufacture them out of thin air. Supposing you had a table Interesting_year with a single column year, populated, say, with every distinct integer between 2000 and 2050, you could do something like this:
SELECT
base.SalesRep,
base.CustomerId,
base.Customer,
base.year,
Sum(NZ(data.Amount)) AS [Sum Of PaymentPerYear]
FROM
(SELECT * FROM Base_CustomerT INNER JOIN Year) AS base
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT * FROM
SO_SalesOrderT
INNER JOIN SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT
ON (SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT.SalesOrderId = SO_SalesOrderT.SalesOrderId)
) AS data
ON ((base.CustomerId = data.CustomerId)
AND (base.year = Year(data.DatePaid))),
WHERE
(data.PaymentType = 1)
AND (base.IsActive = Yes)
AND (base.year BETWEEN
(SELECT Min(year(DatePaid) FROM SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT)
AND (SELECT Max(year(DatePaid) FROM SO_SalesOrderPaymentHistoryLineT))
GROUP BY
base.SalesRep,
base.CustomerId,
base.Customer,
base.year,
ORDER BY
base.SalesRep,
base.Customer;
Note the following:
The revised query first forms the Cartesian product of BaseCustomerT with Interesting_year in order to have base customer data associated with each year (this is sometimes called a CROSS JOIN, but it's the same thing as an INNER JOIN with no join predicate, which is what Access requires)
In order to have result rows for years with no payments, you must perform an outer join (in this case a LEFT JOIN). Where a (base customer, year) combination has no associated orders, the rest of the columns of the join result will be NULL.
I'm selecting the CustomerId from Base_CustomerT because you would sometimes get a NULL if you selected from SO_SalesOrderT as in the starting query
I'm using the Access Nz() function to convert NULL payment amounts to 0 (from rows corresponding to years with no payments)
I converted your HAVING clause to a WHERE clause. That's semantically equivalent in this particular case, and it will be more efficient because the WHERE filter is applied before groups are formed, and because it allows some columns to be omitted from the GROUP BY clause.
Following Hogan's example, I filter out data for years outside the overall range covered by your data. Alternatively, you could achieve the same effect without that filter condition and its subqueries by ensuring that table Intersting_year contains only the year numbers for which you want results.
Update: modified the query to a different, but logically equivalent "something like this" that I hope Access will like better. Aside from adding a bunch of parentheses, the main difference is making both the left and the right operand of the LEFT JOIN into a subquery. That's consistent with the consensus recommendation for resolving Access "ambiguous outer join" errors.
Thank you John for your help. I found a solution which works for me. It looks quiet different but I learned a lot out of it. If you are interested here is how it looks now.
SELECT DISTINCTROW
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.SalesRep,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.CustomerId,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.Customer,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.RevenueYear,
CustomerPaymentPerYearQ.[Sum Of PaymentPerYear]
FROM
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ
LEFT JOIN CustomerPaymentPerYearQ
ON (Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.RevenueYear = CustomerPaymentPerYearQ.[RevenueYear])
AND (Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.CustomerId = CustomerPaymentPerYearQ.CustomerId)
GROUP BY
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.SalesRep,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.CustomerId,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.Customer,
Base_Customer_RevenueYearQ.RevenueYear,
CustomerPaymentPerYearQ.[Sum Of PaymentPerYear]

I have a PHP page running in postgres. I have 3 tables - workorders, wo_parts and part2vendor. I am trying to multiply 2 table column row datas together, ie wo_parts has a field called qty and part2vendor has a field called cost. These 2 are joined by wo_parts.pn and part2vendor.pn. I have created a query like this:
$scoreCostQuery = "SELECT SUM(part2vendor.cost*wo_parts.qty) as total_score
FROM part2vendor
INNER JOIN wo_parts
ON (wo_parts.pn=part2vendor.pn)
WHERE workorder=$workorder";
But if I add the costs of the parts multiplied by the qauntities supplied, it adds to a different number than what the script is doing. Help....I am new to this but if someone can show me in SQL I can modify it for postgres. Thanks
Without seeing example data, there's no way for us to know why you're query totals are coming out differently that when you do the math by hand. It could be a bad join, so you are getting more/less records than you expected. It's also possible that your calculations are off. Pick an example with the smallest number of associated records & compare.
My suggestion is to add a GROUP BY to the query:
SELECT SUM(p.cost * wp.qty) as total_score
FROM part2vendor p
JOIN wo_parts wp ON wp.pn = p.pn
WHERE workorder = $workorder
GROUP BY workorder
FYI: MySQL was designed to allow flexibility in the GROUP BY, while no other db I've used does - it's a source of numerous questions on SO "why does this work in MySQL when it doesn't work on db x...".
To Check that your Quantities are correct:
SELECT wp.qty,
p.cost
FROM WO_PARTS wp
JOIN PART2VENDOR p ON p.pn = wp.pn
WHERE p.workorder = $workorder
Check that the numbers are correct for a given order.
You could try a sub-query instead.
(Note, I don't have a Postgres installation to test this on so consider this more like pseudo code than a working example... It does work in MySQL tho)
SELECT
SUM(p.`score`) AS 'total_score'
FROM part2vendor AS p2v
INNER JOIN (
SELECT pn, cost * qty AS `score`
FROM wo_parts
) AS p
ON p.pn = p2v.pn
WHERE p2n.workorder=$workorder"
In the question, you say the cost column is in part2vendor, but in the query you reference wo_parts.cost. If the wo_parts table has its own cost column, that's the source of the problem.
