I'm not sure this is possible but my manager wants me to do it...
Using the below picture as a reference, is it possible to retrieve a group of records, where each record has 2 rows of columns?
So columns: Number, Incident Number, Vendor Number, Customer Name, Customer Location, Status, Opened and Updated would be part of the first row and column: Work Notes would be a new row that spans the width of the report. Each record would have two rows. Is this possible with a GROUP BY statement?
Record 1
Row 1 = Number, Incident Number, Vendor Number, Customer Name, Customer Location, Status, Opened and Updated
Row 2 = Work Notes
Record 2
Row 1 = Number, Incident Number, Vendor Number, Customer Name, Customer Location, Status, Opened and Updated
Row 2 = Work Notes
Record n
...
I don't think that possible with the built in report engine. You'll need to export the data and format it using something else.
You could have something similar to what you want on short description (list report, group by short description), but you can't group by work notes so that's out.
One thing to note is that the work_notes field is not actually a field on the table, the work_notes field is of type journal_input, which means it's really just a gateway to the actual underlying data model. "Modifying" work_notes actually just inserts into sys_journal_field.
sys_journal_field is the table which stores the work notes you're looking for. Given a sys_id of an incident record, this URL will give you all journal field entries for that particular record:
/sys_journal_field_list.do?sysparm_query=name=task^element_id=<YOUR_SYS_ID>
You will notice this includes ALL journal fields (comments + work_notes + anything else), so if you just wanted work notes, you could simply add a query against element thusly:
/sys_journal_field_list.do?sysparm_query=name=task^element=work_notes^element_id=<YOUR_SYS_ID>
What this means for you!
While you can't separate a physical row into multiple logical rows in the UI, in the case of journal fields you can join your target table against the sys_journal_field table using a Database View. This deviates from your goal in that you wouldn't get a single row for all work notes, but rather an additional row for each matched work note.
Given an incident INC123 with 3 work notes, your report against the Database View would look kind of like this:
Row 1: INT123 | markmilly | This is a test incident |
Row 2: INT123 | | | Work note #1
Row 3: INT123 | | | Work note #2
Row 4: INT123 | | | Work note #3

I'm new to SQL and Access and am trying to take an entry from an InventoryTransactions.Quantity and summing it with another field from another table MasterInventory.QuantityOnHand. I know there is a way to do this with queries and forms but I'm kind of hitting a roadblock. Any help will be much appreciated!
Example
InventoryTransactions.Quantity (Table)
ID | TransactionItem | TransactionType | Quantity |
[ID] = Autonumber [TransactionItem] = Lookup referencing [.ID],[.ItemName], (Checking Y/N from [.Consumable]), all from [MasterInventory] [TransactionType] - Addition, Removal (Add, Subtract) from [TransactionTypeTable] Quantity - Number
MasterInventory
Here I want to add my record entry for Quantity in the above table and it to be added or subtracted (depending on the entry in the TransactionType field to .QuantityOnHand in this MasterInventory table
Say I've got 20 of something in [MasterInventory].[QuantityOnHand] and I enter 20 into the [ItemTransactions].[Quantity]
Saying that I selected "Addition" in [ItemTransactions].[TransactionType]
The new value in [MasterInventory].[QuantityOnHand] should now be updated to 40 for the corresponding [MasterInventory].[ID] field. (Updated to 0 if I selected "Remove" in [ItemTransactions].[TransactionType]
Let me know if you see this and need clarification please.
I have three SQL tables. Users, Registration Field Values, and Registration Fields.
Name
zip code
favorite food
Sue
55555
sushi
Gary
12345
eggs
Where zip code and favorite food are different registration fields.
The relationship is a user has many registration field values, and those values belong to the registration field.
I'm wondering how I can order my table based on a certain registration field. For example, selecting "favorite food", I would want "eggs" before "sushi".
This is confusing to me because I've only seen ORDER BY for an individual column or series of columns. I can't just ORDER BY registration_field_value.value because it needs to be based on only one of those registration fields.
This is like "ORDER BY field value where the associated field id is 'favorite food'", although I don't want to filter anything out.
I'm using Postgres if that makes a difference.
EDIT, adding a
:
You can use case to order based on specific value.
For eg:
ORDER BY
CASE "favorite food"
WHEN 'eggs' THEN 1
ELSE 2
END
The above query will move row with eggs to start and all other value will be moved to bottom.
I have a table that provides a point-in-time snapshot with the following headings:
| Cust# | Last Trans. | Charge | Quantity |
Every month, I will receive a file from a third party with transactions that will add new cust# or change existing customer information. I am having problems when there are multiple updates to the same Cust# in one month.
For example:
processing the following transaction file:
should yield the following snapshot table:
It may not be the best method, but now I have 3 separate queries to handle NEW, CHANGE and CANCEL. There are no problems with NEW and CANCEL.
Here's how my CHANGE query is set up:
UPDATE snp
INNER JOIN tr
ON snp.[Cust#] = tr.[Cust#]
SET
snp.[Last Trans] = tr.Transaction,
snp.Charge = snp.Charge + tr.Charge,
snp.Quantity = tr.Quantity
WHERE tr.Trans='CHANGE'
Note that Charge is incremental and Quantity is not. Updating Charge is working as expected, but Quantity is not. I do not necessarily get the latest quantity.
How do I ensure that if there are any changes to one customer, that the last Quantity field taken is from the latest CHANGE row (ie. max ID of that cust#)?
SELECT * FROM snp
WHERE ID IN (SELECT MAX(ID)
FROM tr
GROUP BY CUST#)
The inner query would give you all customers' max ID. You can filter the cust# based on your change criteria. The outer query would give you all the details of that row. You can then use those values in your queries.
All,
I have three total tables. The first table 'rollup1' contains the number of views and number of clicks for a campaign, as well as a one-up number for the day field (largest number in column represents the current date) A second table 'rollup2' contains the earnings for the campaign. It also contains the same one-up number for the dayfield. The third table 'campaigns' contains the ID/names for the campaigns. campaigns.id = rollup1.id = rollup2.id and rollup1.day=rollup2.day
I want to generate an SQL query that lists the campaign id, name, specific calculated value from yesterday, and specific calculated value from today. The specific calculated value I'm looking for is (earnings/clicks)*1000.
The results will look like:
id | name | yesterday | today
a | Campaign1 | $0.05 | $0.010
I think I can use case statements, but I can't seem to get it correct. Here's what I have so far. It calculates the formula for yesterday, but not the one for today. I need these to be side by side.
select campaigns.id, campaigns.name, rollup1.views,rollup1.clicks,rollup2.costs,round((rollup2.costs/rollup1.views)*1000,2) as yesterday
from campaigns,rollup1,rollup2
where campaigns.id = rollup1.campaign_id and campaigns.id = rollup2.campaign_id
and rollup1.dayperiod = rollup2.dayperiod
and rollup1.dayperiod = (SELECT (max(rollup1.dayperiod) -1) FROM rollup1)
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have a question about updating multiple rows with different values in MS Access 2010.
Table 1: Food
ID | Favourite Food
1 | Apple
2 | Orange
3 | Pear
Table 2: New
ID | Favourite Food
1 | Watermelon
3 | Cherries
Right now, it looks deceptively simple to execute them separately (because this is just an example). But how would I execute a whole lot of them at the same time if I had, say, 500 rows to update out of 1000 records.
So what I want to do is to update the "Food" table based on the new values from the "New" table.
Would appreciate if anyone could give me some direction / syntax so that I can test it out on MS Access 2010. If this requires VBA, do provide some samples of how I should carry this out programmatically, not manually statement-by-statement.
Thank you!
ADDENDUM (REAL DATA)
Table: Competitors
Columns: CompetitorNo (PK), FirstName, LastName, Score, Ranking
query: FinalScore
Columns: CompetitorNo, Score, Ranking
Note - this query is a query of another query, which in turn, is a query of another query (could there be a potential problem here? There are at least 4 queries before this FinalScore query is derived. Should I post them?)
In the competitors table, all the columns except "Score" and "Ranking" are filled. We would need to take the values from the FinalScore query and insert them into the relevant competitor columns.
Addendum (Brief Explanation of Query)
Table: Competitors
Columns: CompetitorNo (PK), FirstName, LastName, Score, Ranking
Sample Data: AX1234, Simpson, Danny, <blank initially>, <blank initially>
Table: CompetitionRecord
Columns: EventNo (PK composite), CompetitorNo (PK composite), Timing, Bonus
Sample Data1: E01, AX1234, 14.4, 1
Sample Data2: E01, AB1938, 12.5, 0
Sample Data3: E01, BB1919, 13.0, 2
Event No specifies unique event ID
Timing measures the time taken to run 200 metres. The lesser, the better.
Bonus can be given in 3 values (0 - Disqualified, 1 - Normal, 2 - Exceptional). Competitors with Exceptional are given bonus points (5% off their timing).
Query: FinalScore
Columns: CompetitorNo (PK), Score, Ranking
Score is calculated by wins. For example, in the above event (E01), there are three competitors. The winner of the event is BB1919. Winners get 1 point. Losers don't get any points. Those that are disqualified do not receive any points as well.
This query lists the competitors and their cumulative scores (from a list of many events - E01, E02, E03 etc.) and calculates their ranking in the ranking column everytime the query is executed. (For example, a person who wins the most 200m events would be at the top of this list).
Now, I am required to update the Competitors table with this information. The query is rather complex - with all the grouping, summations, rankings and whatnots. Thus, I had to create multiple queries to achieve the end result.
How about:
UPDATE Food
INNER JOIN [New]
ON Food.ID=New.ID
SET Food.[Favourite Food] = New.[Favourite Food]
