Queries :: Nested Query - Left Outer Join Not Returning All Records
Oct 1, 2014
I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity
from(
SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center
FROM [Open Items]
)a
left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON
(a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity)
Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
I have been running a query to find out the name and addresses of some of our customers but some data keeps coming in to the results that i dont want to see.
The data is in the Name column so I have built a second table and put the names of the items i do not wish to see in the second table using a left outer join and selecting null or not null. This works great if i know all the combinations of the name such as smith i.e d smith david smith, sam smith dd smith etc.
I would like to enter Smith into the table and have my query return everything except with the word smith in.
I can code this into the query with not like *smith* but that means everytime i want to go into it i would have to enter the query not the front end
I have two queries. The unique key in both queries is GUID for katalogposition.
One is showing me records which has an product end date (Produkt slut dato) between today and end date of next month. This query works fine and is called q_termination.
The second one shows me unmatched records in the first query (q_termination). The query works fine and is called yq_NonTermination.
The goal is now to show me records from the first query "q_termination" that fullfill one of two criterias.
1. No match in second query "yq_NonTermination" 2. Match BUT product end date (Produkt slut dato) is greater than the match in "yq_NonTermination".
I have made a left join query on the field "Dublet_Lagervarer". From the join query the goal is to show me only q_Termination.Guid for Katalogposition number 47 and 134008.
How can I do that? Is there another way to do it? Please see attachment.
I am fairly new to Acces 2010.I have two seperate tables hat I need to use to compare data. As you can see table A and table B have some of the same item numbers but they also have different item numbers that are not other table. Also some of the item numbers are duplicated in each table but that is okay because the cost of the item is different. Both tables contain item numbers for the products. I want all of Table A item numbers including the item numbers that are in table B. But I also want Table B item numbers except for the item numbers that are also in Table A. In the real raw data file some of the item number fields are blank but the other fields have values. How should I query these tables so that I achieve the correct results?
Table A Item Num Costof Item Supplier Sales Tax Purchase Month 1234 $1.00 Walmart $2.00 Dec 2013 2222 $4.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013 2222 $2.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013 1276 $3.00 Sams club $1.50 Dec 2013 7898 $5.00 Texaco $5.00 Dec 2013 4567 $3.50 Food Lion $1.00 Dec 2013
What is the best approach to returning calculated results in a query. I have been using nested IIf statements that include DateAdd but I think that I am at a point where there must be a better way.
I want my query to calculate a date based on: 1) A Type field from my table 2) A calculated date based on other query fields.
My query has the following fields: [Type] [Action 1] [Projected Action 1] [Projected Action 1 Revised] [Action 2]
I want to create a calculated field for [Projected Action 2] that says:
If [Type] is "A" then if [Action 2] Is NotNull, Null if [Action 1] is NotNull, [Action 1] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1 Revised] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1 Revised] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1] + 10 workdays
[Code] ....
I would like to keep using nested IIf but I keep running into problems and I thought that there is probably a better way.
I managed to produce a working Query with AllenBrowne's ConcatRelated function.What i'm unable to do is a new query with left join on the result of the query using the ConcatRelated function.I get error 3075: syntax error (missing operator) in query expression (free translation - MS ACCESS not English version)
If I do the normal join then it works fine, but I only get rows for which there are related concatenated values. But I do also need those rows where there are no concatenated values' fields.
I have a table and a query. The first 4 fields of the table correspond to that of the query. The query does not have any other fields, but the table has 26 more fields. Is it possible to use SQL OUTER JOIN or UNION or whatever to append the data of the query to the table or do I have to go with recordsets of VBA?
Thanks for all help so far, this forum is great ;)
I have 3 tables: Order, Product and Names.
I want to list All orders, no matter if they hold a key to a product or not, and no matter if this product has been given a name (in the table name) or not.
To make it even more complicated, the customer can give upp to 16 namesuggestions, they are all numbered from 1-16. But If they are given a namesuggestion, i only want to present the first one (nr 1).
Relations: 1 order -> 0 or 1 product. 1 order -> 0 or up to 16 names, of which i only want to display nr 1.
Any suggestions? I am thinking of preparing the data in a temporary table, but would be glad if i did not need to do so....
I have query , which has got 2 outer joins. The query is:
SELECT A.Project_ID, A.Title, A.comm1 AS Comments, A.Partner AS PM, A.Staff_Assigned AS TL, A.Contact_Name AS FL, A.MD, A.Status, A.Project_Type, ISNULL(B.Delivered_Date, B.Delivery_Date) AS Start_Date, ISNULL(C.Delivered_Date, C.Delivery_Date) AS End_Date FROM dbo.PROJECT A LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.PROJDATE C ON A.Project_ID = C.Project_ID AND C.Date_Type = "End Date"
Can anybody help me out the error with this. I get an error : at dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" .
Do I need to use any parantheris or change anthing.
I have 2 tables (tblItemsQB and tblItemInfo) that have a 1 to 1 relationship linked by the "PartNumber" field. The tblItemsQB table contains a description field and 2 price fields (this table is downloaded from Quickbooks). The tblItemInfo table contains additional fields with information on the part that isn't contained in Quickbooks, like OrderType, Phase, SubSystem.
I import the items from QB into tblItemsQB and then do an outer join with tblItemInfo to link all the information for the part. If I have created a new part in Quickbooks, when I do the outer join (I include all records from tblItemsQB) I can see the new part but since the part number doesn't exist yet in tblItemInfo, I can't add the information to the fields in that table.
What is the easiest way to create the new PartNumbers (those that exist in tblItemsQb but not in tblItemInfo) in the tblItemInfo table so I can add the other information to it?
Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon
I currently have two tables each containing information that I need to complete a query, however the results of suming this information is incorrect.
Below is the structure of the table, one contains more fileds than the other however the joins are on the Date and the Name fields. I have added a few dummy results to show the format
Table 1 "Date" "Name" "Times Logged In" 10/01/2013 Chris 1 11/01/2013 James 3
Table 2 "Date" "Region" "Manager Name" "Name" "Times Logged Out" 10/01/2013 Scotland Cindy Chris 1 11/01/2013 Wales Robert James 2
Query Fields
"Data" "Region" "Name" "SUM Times Logged In" "SUM Times Logged Out"
I can see what the issue is, if someone hasnt logged out there would be no entry in the table so the result query would show "Times Logged In" as X and a blank value at "Times Logged Out." However if there is a value at "Times Logged Out", "Times Logged In" is displayed again and causes the SUM calculations to be incorrect.
how do I overcome this issue though? I can do two spereate queries on the tables to produce results for Times Logged In and Times Logged Out but cant seem to create one query to display both these results in one table.
What I want is IF the date in Table 2 = Date in Table 1 AND IF Name in Table 2 = Name in Table 1 THEN take the value from Logged In and place that in a column and the value from Logged Out and place that in a column.
I'm having problems doing a left join with 3 fields. I know I don't need the 3 fields for this example to align the data but, I deal with much more than this and need this functionality.
The query object I'm looking into is named 'left join' and the sql is as follows:
SELECT Act_Base.CustID, Act_Base.Chipset_ID, Act_Base.Product, Act_Base.Qtr, Act_Base.Qty AS Shipments, SE_Base.Qty AS SE FROM Act_Base LEFT JOIN SE_Base ON (Act_Base.Product = SE_Base.Product) AND (Act_Base.Qtr = SE_Base.Qtr) AND (Act_Base.CustID = SE_Base.CustID);
I'm expecting to see 150 units in the SE.Qty field.
I need to do a report that takes data from many different tables (like 10).
To do this I have a big query with many LEFT JOIN to link all the tables together. I have made this query last year and it worked well and efficiently until now.
But I have to add something there, and the problem comes with it :
One of the tables is a currency exchange rate table, with the exchange rate of USD to 50 different other currencies and for each day since Jan 1st 2011.
But in this table there are some dates when a currency does not have an exchange rate (example : it was a holiday in that country, so there is no official exchange rate with this currency on that day).
However, I need to have rates even if they are not present in the table.
I need to get the nearest rate, for example if the rate of EUR on 31st December is not available, I can take the one of the 30th, or 29th or January 1st...
Ideally I would like to do the following :
Add a new LEFT JOIN to my already big query that would look like :
LEFT JOIN CurrencyExchangeRate ON ABS(RateDate - Instrument.Date) < 3
But to take only the closest rate.
I tried with a subquery :
LEFT JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM CurrencyExchangeRate WHERE ForeignCurrency = Instrument.Currency1 AND ABS(RateDate - Instrument.Date) < 3) AS MRate ON MRate.ForeignCurrency = Instrument.Currency1)
But the subquery does not accept Instrument.Currency1 because it is not part of the table CurrencyExchangeRate
I have a solution that should work, it is to search for this rate in a subquery in the select clause instead of doing a left join. But the tables are quite big (hundreds of thousands of entries) and my work machine is not really 'fast' so it would take hours and hours (when I tried I stopped after 3 hours).
I know there is the solution to make a macro to "fill" the missing rates with the rate of the previous day... But I would prefer not to go to this extent.
I have a table with Part No. and their correlating descriptions. I have a second table with a Product Number and its assosciated Part No. I want to view all of my Part No. with descriptions and IF there is a match to the Part No on the second table, I want to see the associated Product Number. Below is the layout and SQL on my test tables.
Test_Items1 (My Table) Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123 Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456
SQL (Which isn't working for me) SELECT Test_Items1.[Part No], Test_Items1.[Item SX Descrip1], Test_Products1.[Product Number] FROM Test_Items1 LEFT JOIN Test_Products1 ON Test_Items1.[Part No] LIKE "*" & Test_Products1.[Referenced Item] & "*";
The Desired Results from my above scenario would be this Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123 Product Number = 14_01 Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456 Product Number = Null/Blank
The Part No from Test_Items1 may not always be the first string from the Test_Products1.Referenced Item. It may appear anywhere withing that group of Part Nos. The customer has them separated by spaces.
SELECT * FROM ((TBL_Properties INNER JOIN TBL_Property_Landlords ON TBL_Properties.Property_ID=TBL_Property_Landlords. Property_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Landlords ON TBL_Property_Landlords.Landlord_ID=TBL_Landlords.L andlord_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Agents ON TBL_Properties.Agent_ID=TBL_Agents.Agent_ID;
so far. But I need to join the results from another query which will be calculating SUM(Pay). Is it possible to INNER JOIN to a: (SELECT ....) nested query?
I think I know the answer but want to check. I've been asked to create a query, without querying a query first, but it's the only way I know.
I have two tables
Table1 will have data in a column that is 9 characters long ULCABC123 ULCABC124 ULCABC125 PLTABC123 PLTABC124
Table2 will have data in a column that is 6 characters long ULCABC PLTABC
Question: Can I create a Join from Table2 Field with the Left(Field,6) from Table1
I was thinking something like this. (but then I can't enter design mode) Query1 - Test
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Table2 INNER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.ORDDETTYPE = Left(Table1.ORDERDET,6) GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I presume the only way to do this is first query Table1 (and call Query2) and return the first 6 characters and the create another query (Query3 in this case) using Query2 field joined with Table2 field.
Query2
Code: SELECT Left([ORDERDET],6) AS NEWORDDET FROM Table1;
Query3
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Query2 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Query2.[NEWORDDET] = Table2.ORDDETTYPE GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works??? -Dan :D
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
I am trying to build a query that shows me the activity of my customers. I have a database that amongst other things holds two tables which i am trying to query.
tbl 1 - Customers tbl 2 - Enquiries
What i eventually want to do is create a report that shows which customers have made enquiries and which ones haven't on a weekly and monthly basis.
the fields brought out of tbl1 are just the companies name, and sales person responsible for the account. Now to get all the customers to show i have learnt that you can do a left join on the query which will show all the records in the left table (tbl1) which is great and i can then limit the customer accounts that show by adding query criteria to the sales rep field from tbl1. The problem that i am having is when i try to limit the time period i.e weekly, monthly. when i enter criteria in the EnquiryDate field from tbl2 the query stops showing all the customers and only shows those that match the date criteria. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this from happening.
There are a total of 11 records in the tblSystemAlarms table. The desired result is a return of all 11 records for a particular ReportID, even if there is not a record in tblSystemAlarmStatus. The actual result is a return of only the number of records that contain a matching ReportID. How do I include the other records?
I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3 A.............100 C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1 AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
I'm running a query from two related tables in the database.the table relationships and the query design. Instead of doing what I want it to do/what I think I'm asking it to - which is show the sum total number of weeks on the program for each student - it shows me the number of weeks for that student just for that claim, not the total for the student overall. I've added some 'dummy data' (2 records in the claim table relating to 1 student), and the query then returns the student twice in the results.
Code: SELECT tblData2.Prefix, tblData2.LineNum, tblData2.Year, tblComments.comment, tblComments.Address FROM tblData2 LEFT JOIN tblComments ON tblData2.LineNum = (NumbersOnly([tblComments].[Address]) WHERE (((tblData2.MyYear)<1990)) ORDER BY tblData2.LineNum;
The NumbersOnly function returns a set of numbers from a custom formatted string. The above fails on the join (I think) but maybe there's another way of doing it?
Okay i have 3 tables I would like to join them all by a field called twp, but the problem is in some tables the field twp might contain more or less rows than table2 and table3 or vice versa. Is there a way to include all the rows from all tables in a query. Suppose if table2 has a column which table1 doesnt have, then it will just show table1 column as blank etc.. Iv tried just doing an outer join on all the tables but for some reason access doesnt allow it.
