SQL Display Distinct records and include a field if certain data is found - sql

Question

What I'm trying to accomplish is display distinct data but also display a field on each row if a particular row has a certain data.
The thing thats confusing me is the fact that I still need it to be distinct and if I attempt to do another join i get more rows..
I just wish to keep the same results i'm retrieving but with an additional column that tells me - This equipment (row) needs repairs because at least one of its properties stated so... Hope this makes sense, not sure if I'm explaining myself clearly here.
The Main Table (Inspection Table)
In the above table, Notice FK_Sequence Each entry has around 17 which the user is required to answer OK or REPAIR (this is the FK_Status)
My current Query is the following and results just an Employee and the equipment they worked on.
SELECT DISTINCT
a.EnteredDate,
bb.EmployeeId,
bb.EmployeeName,
dd.EquipmentId,
dd.EquipmentName
FROM dbo.PIT_Inspection a
INNER JOIN dbo.EmployeeName bb
ON a.FK_EmployeeName = bb.PK_EmployeeName
INNER JOIN dbo.EquipmentName dd
ON a.FK_EquipmentName = dd.PK_EquipmentName
Results for above query:
But then here is where my question comes in. Notice the Main Table - FK_Status of 2 on Line 19.. I would like to detect this and for this particular Employee Display Repair in an additional column in the table above named StatusName.

Answer 1

You can do this by using GROUP BY instead of DISTINCT, then you can use a conditional count to see how many rows have a status of 2, if it is more than none then display REPAIR
SELECT a.EnteredDate,
bb.EmployeeId,
bb.EmployeeName,
dd.EquipmentId,
dd.EquipmentName,
StatusName = CASE WHEN COUNT(CASE WHEN a.FK_Status = 2 THEN 1 END) > 0
THEN 'REPAIR'
ELSE ''
END
FROM dbo.PIT_Inspection a
INNER JOIN dbo.EmployeeName bb
ON a.FK_EmployeeName = bb.PK_EmployeeName
INNER JOIN dbo.EquipmentName dd
ON a.FK_EquipmentName = dd.PK_EquipmentName
GROUP BY a.EnteredDate, bb.EmployeeId, bb.EmployeeName, dd.EquipmentId, dd.EquipmentName;

Answer 2

Try this:
SELECT
a.EnteredDate,
bb.EmployeeId,
bb.EmployeeName,
dd.EquipmentId,
dd.EquipmentName,
CASE WHEN SUM(CASE FK_Status WHEN 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) > 0
THEN 'Repair' ELSE 'OK' END AS StatusName
FROM dbo.PIT_Inspection a
INNER JOIN dbo.EmployeeName bb
ON a.FK_EmployeeName = bb.PK_EmployeeName
INNER JOIN dbo.EquipmentName dd
ON a.FK_EquipmentName = dd.PK_EquipmentName
GROUP BY
a.EnteredDate,
bb.EmployeeId,
bb.EmployeeName,
dd.EquipmentId,
dd.EquipmentName

Answer 3

Have the query with the distinct as a sub query, then join to get the "additional information". Something along the lines of:
SELECT (your orig fields, but take from inspection where you took from a)
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT a.FK_EmployeeName, a.EnteredDate, FK_EquipmentName
FROM dbo.PIT_Inspection a) inspection
INNER JOIN dbo.EmployeeName bb
ON inspection.FK_EmployeeName = bb.PK_EmployeeName
INNER JOIN dbo.EquipmentName dd
ON inspection.FK_EquipmentName = dd.PK_EquipmentName
