MS Access 2007 : combine cells and transpose data? - ms-access-2007

I have a table with look like that:
People..........Client
People1............clientA
People1............clientB
People1............clientC
People1............clientD
People2............clientE
People2............clientF
People2............clientG
and the result i want is this one :
People............Client
People1.................clientA+clientB+clientC+clientD (it's a single column)
People2.................clientE+clientF+clientG (it's a single column)
The table itself is coming from different request and i have about 20 people with max 30 clients each.
This the sql request type that i'm using to create this table :
SELECT DATA.People, DATA.client
FROM DATA
GROUP BY DATA.People, DATA.client;
I think i need a loop but have no idea of how i should do it.

SQL Server - collapsing multiple row values into one field

I'm trying to produce the result shown in the "Desired Results" section (in SQL Server 2016) in my screenshot below, where the objections associated with each borrower number are in one column delimited by commas instead of separate rows.
I don't want to restructure my database - I just want to display the results as requested for a customer report. Thanks
I was able to use the STRING_AGG function which I didn't know existed to produce the results I need.
SELECT ht.Hearings_CaseID, Borrower_Number, STRING_AGG(Objection,',') AS Objection
FROM Hearings_Test ht INNER JOIN
Hearings_Objections_Test hot on ht.Hearings_CaseID = hot.Hearings_CaseID
GROUP BY
ht.Hearings_CaseID, Borrower_Number

Excel SQL Query - Multiple Parameters

I'm using excel 15.32 on Mac and am doing a database connection to my company's MySQL database. It is the "database" option and not the "SQL server ODBC".
My query looks something like:
SELECT COUNT(requisition_item.qty)
FROM requisition_item
INNER JOIN requisition
ON requisition.id = requisition_item.requisitionId
WHERE requisition_item.itemId IN (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) AND requisition.requiredBy >= '2016-08-01'
And in parameters I map EACH "?" to a specific cell. Is there a way to make that cleaner? Can I map to a range for a count function? It's a pain to map each one especially as my list grows!
EDIT: I am counting how many times a group of numbers (located in ColA of an Excel spreadsheet) appears in my requisition_items table. I map each "?" (Excel names them Parameter1, Parameter2, etc.) to each ColA cell (A1, A2, etc.) The query simply outputs a count of how many times each value that I type in ColA appears in that table.

SQL count query number of lines per row

I am trying to count the amount of urls we have in field in sql I have googled but cannot find anything !
So for example this could be in field "url" row 1 / id 1
url/32432
url/32434
So for example this could be field "url" in row 2 / id 2
url/32432
url/32488
url/32477
So if you were to run the query the count would be 5. There is no comma in between them, only space.
Kind Regards
Scott
This is a very bad layout for data. If you have multiple urls per id, then they should be stored as separate rows in another table.
But, sometimes we are stuck with other people's bad design decisions. You can do something like this:
select (length(replace(urls, 'url', 'urlx')) - length(urls)) as num_urls
Note that the specific functions for length() and replace() might vary, depending on the database.

SQL Query stopped working and cant figure out why

Basically I am using MS Access 2013 to import all active work items that are assigned to a specific group from an API and select the data into 2 new tables (Requests & Request_Tasks).
I then have a form sourced from a query to select specific fields from the 2 tables.
Until yesterday it was working with no problems and nothing has changed.
All of the data appears in the 2 tables so the import from the API works fine.
When it comes to the query selecting the data from the 2 tables (Which are already populated with the correct data) the query returns only data from Requests table with blank fields instead of data from Request_Tasks.
The strange part is that out of 28 active work items it returns 24 correctly and the last 4 are having the problem.
Every new task added to the group has the problem also.
Query is below.
SELECT
Request_Tasks.RQTASK_Number,
Request_Tasks.Request_Number,
Requests.Task, Requests.Entity,
Request_Tasks.Description,
Request_Tasks.Request_Status,
Requests.Requested_for_date,
Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date,
Request_Tasks.Estimated_Time,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Time_Analysis,
Request_Tasks.Offers_Built,
Request_Tasks.Number_of_links_Opened,
Request_Tasks.Number_of_Links_Extended,
Request_Tasks.Number_Of_links_closed,
Request_Tasks.Build_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Buld_Review_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Keying_Allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Keying_Approval_allocated_to,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Build_Time,
Request_Tasks.Actual_Stakeholder_Support,
Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date
FROM Request_Tasks
RIGHT JOIN Requests
ON Request_Tasks.Request_Number = Requests.Request_Number
WHERE (((Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date)>=Date()
Or (Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date) Is Null)
AND ((Requests.Task)<>"7"
And (Requests.Task)<>"8" And (Requests.Task)<>"9"))
OR (((Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date)>=Date()
Or (Request_Tasks.Task_Completed_Date) Is Null)
AND ((Requests.Task)<>"7"
And (Requests.Task)<>"8"
And (Requests.Task)<>"9"))
ORDER BY Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date Is Null DESC , Request_Tasks.Work_On_Date, Requests.Entity Is Null DESC , Requests.Task;
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
The query is using RIGHT JOIN, which means rows from Requests table is always reported even if there is no corresponding entry in Request_tasks table.
A full example is here http://www.w3schools.com/Sql/sql_join_right.asp
In your case, most likely somechange might have happened during data load/API and Request_tasks table is not being populated. That is the reason you see blank data for fields from that table.
Solution
Manually check data for 4 faulty records in Request_tasks table.
Ensure keys in both table request_number are matching including data type and any leading space/non printable characters (if they are string type of data) for faulty records.
Query seems fine, its more of issue with data based on problem statement.

SQL Server 2008 Query Result Formating (changing x and y axis fields)

What is the most efficient way to format query results, wether in the actual SQL Server SQL code or using a different program such as access or excel so that the X (first row column headers) and Y Axis (first column field values) can be changed, but with the same query result data still being represented, just in a different way.
they way the data is stored in my database and they way my original query results are returned in SQL Server 2008 are as follows:
Original Results Format
And Below is the way I need to have the data look:
How I need the Results to Look
In essence, I need to have the zipcode field go down the Y Axis (first column) and the Coveragecode field to go across the top first Row (X Axis) with the exposures filling in the rest of the data.
The only way I can thing of getting this done is by bringing the data into excel and doing a bunch of V-LookUps. I tried using some pivot tables but didn't get to far. I'm going to continue trying to format the data using the V-LookUps but hopefully someone can come up with a better way of doing this.
What you are looking for is a table operator called PIVOT. Docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410.aspx
WITH Src AS(
SELECT Coveragecode, Zipcode, EarnedExposers
FROM yourTable
)
SELECT Zipcode, [BI], [PD], [PIP], [UMBI], [COMP], [COLL]
FROM Src
PIVOT(MAX(EarnedExposers) FOR CoverageCode
IN(
[BI],
[PD],
[PIP],
[UMBI],
[COMP],
[COLL]
)
) AS P;
