ms access query - Filter out values from another query - sql

Question

I've got a query running that pulls out the records I need.
I want to run another query that pulls out all the other records (excluding the ones in the first query).
I've read up on NOT IN and NOT LIKE but can't seem to get them to work.
The first query is named: qryHunnersPatients
Here's the code for the second query that I have so far:
Right now this is just pulling all the records - but I want to exclude those records in the qryHunnersPatients query
SELECT
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Age,
[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[Age]-[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[UrinarySxBegan] AS Duration,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.IBS,
tblQuestionnaires.UPOINTTotal,
tblQuestionnaires.U,
tblQuestionnaires.P,
tblQuestionnaires.O,
tblQuestionnaires.I,
tblQuestionnaires.N,
tblQuestionnaires.T,
tblQuestionnaires.ICSITotal,
tblQuestionnaires.ICPITotal
FROM
tblPatientHistoryBaseline
INNER JOIN
tblQuestionnaires
ON
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Visit = tblQuestionnaires.Visit)
AND
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID = tblQuestionnaires.ID);
UPDATE:
I just tried the WHERE NOT EXISTS using the code below:
SELECT
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Age,
[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[Age]-[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[UrinarySxBegan] AS Duration,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.IBS,
tblQuestionnaires.UPOINTTotal,
tblQuestionnaires.U,
tblQuestionnaires.P,
tblQuestionnaires.O,
tblQuestionnaires.I,
tblQuestionnaires.N,
tblQuestionnaires.T,
tblQuestionnaires.ICSITotal,
tblQuestionnaires.ICPITotal
FROM
tblPatientHistoryBaseline
INNER JOIN
tblQuestionnaires
ON
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Visit = tblQuestionnaires.Visit)
AND
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID = tblQuestionnaires.ID)
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT ID
FROM qryHunnersPatients AS hunners
WHERE hunners.ID = tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID);

Answer 1

You need a SubQuery. As In understand that your Query qryHunnersPatients gives you the list of records that you do not wish to see, you need to include that in the NOT IN part of the Query.
SELECT
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Age,
[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[Age]-[tblPatientHistoryBaseline].[UrinarySxBegan] AS Duration,
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.IBS,
tblQuestionnaires.UPOINTTotal,
tblQuestionnaires.U,
tblQuestionnaires.P,
tblQuestionnaires.O,
tblQuestionnaires.I,
tblQuestionnaires.N,
tblQuestionnaires.T,
tblQuestionnaires.ICSITotal,
tblQuestionnaires.ICPITotal
FROM
tblPatientHistoryBaseline
INNER JOIN
tblQuestionnaires
ON
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.Visit = tblQuestionnaires.Visit)
AND
(tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID = tblQuestionnaires.ID)
WHERE
tblPatientHistoryBaseline.ID
NOT IN
(SELECT qryHunnersPatients.ID FROM qryHunnersPatients);

Answer 2

Assuming ID is unique, you can use WHERE NOT EXISTS:
SELECT {FieldList}
FROM tblPatientHistoryBaseline AS baseline
INNER JOIN tblQuestionnaires AS quest
ON (baseline.Visit = quest.Visit)
AND (baseline.ID = quest.ID);
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT ID
FROM qryHunnersPatients AS hunners
WHERE hunners.ID = baseline.ID
)
You don't need to bother using the aliases I've added to; I've just added them for readability.
