Queries :: Querying Multiple Tables - Aggregate Function Error
Feb 27, 2014
how to query data in my database based on a number of different criteria.I have reached a stage where I can get all the data I need from one query, however I can't figure out how to further query this data to return records from a table with the most recent date only. I have searched the forum, googled and experimented myself but I am running into "Aggregate Function" errors.In this scenario there are 3 tables. tblJobs, tblEquipment and tblInspectionLog. Each tblJobs record can have multiple tblEquipment records attached to it, and each tblEquipment record can have multiple tblInspectionLog records attached to them.
I would like to query the database for what tblEquipment records have been assigned to a tblJob ID and also return only the tblInspectionLog record with the latest Inspection_Date field.At the moment I am able to see tblEquipment records attached to tblJobs, however duplicate records appear due to multiple InspectionLog records associated with the equipment.
I have tried to filter records from tblInspectionLog using the "Max" criteria under Inspection_Date field in my query. This however returns an "Aggregate Function" error.
I am working on a marketing database. I have two tables that are in use called tblListInfo and tblResults.
In tblListInfo the fields I am using are DropDate, ListName and Marketcode. In tblResults the fields I am using are JoinDate and Marketcode.
I am attempting to write a query that the end result will display the number of records within the 1st week of the promotions drop date. For every combination where the ListName value AND the DropDate value are unique, I want to count the number of records in tblResults that have JoinDate BETWEEN DropDate AND DropDate + 6.
I tried writing the code for this in pieces starting with:
SELECT DISTINCT tblListInfo.[ListName], tblListInfo.[DropDate] FROM tblResults INNER JOIN tblListInfo ON tblResults.[Marketcode] = tblListInfo.[Marketcode]
This gave me my first ideal part of the output I was seeking. I listing of all the possible marketing lists used with duplicate names occuring only when there were different drop dates. for example:
Listname Drop Date List - 1 1/1/08 List - 1 1/15/08 List - 2 1/1/08 List - 2 2/5/08
From there I wanted to modify the process to include a third field that included the # of records in tblResults that have the JoinDate field BETWEEN tblListInfo.[Drop Date] AND (tblListInfo.[Drop Date]+6). The ideal output would be like this:
Listname Drop Date Week 1 List - 1 1/1/08 15 List - 1 1/15/08 8 List - 2 1/1/08 32 List - 2 2/5/08 12
My attempt at getting to this result is below:
SELECT DISTINCT tblListInfo.[drop date], tblListInfo.[ListName], count(tblResults.[join date]) AS [Week 1] FROM tblResults INNER JOIN tblListInfo ON tblResults.[MarketCode] = tblListInfo.[MarketCode] WHERE tblResults.[Join Date] BETWEEN tblListInfo.[drop date] AND (tblListInfo.[drop date]+6)
I receive an error at this point saying: "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'ListName' as part of an aggregate function."
Can anyone offer suggestions/corrections to my approach and logic?
SELECT tblTempProject.project_number, tblTempProject.Project_name, tblTempProject.subsidiary, tblTempProject.division, tblTempProject.unit_number, tblTempProject.client_name, tblTempProject.resourcing_contact, tblTempProject.project_cat_type_code, tblTempJob.headline, tblTempJob.contact_name, tblTempJob.contact_staff_number, tblTempJob.contact_unit_number, tblTempJob.resourcing_team_email, tblTempJob.creation_date, tblTempJob.nominatio_date, tblTempJob.decision_date, tblTempJob.sar_status, tblTempJob.publication_level, tblTempJob.sar_number, tblTempJob.last_modified_timestamp, tblTempJob.last_updated_by, tblTempJob.requirements, tblTempJob.positions_filled, tblTempJob.closure_description, tblTempJob.other_inf, tblTempJob.description, tblTempJob.qual_exp, tblTempJob.Tag1, tblTempJob.Tag2, tblTempJob.Tag3, tblTempJob.Tag4 FROM tblTempJob, tblTempProject WHERE tblTempJob.project_number = tblTempProject.project_number AND tblTempJob.project_category_type_code = tblTempProject.project_cat_type_code AND tblTempJob.project_company_code = tblTempProject.subsidiary AND tblTempProject.subsidiary='NL' AND (tblTempJob.sar_status='FIR' Or tblTempJob.sar_status='HOL' Or tblTempJob.sar_status='PRO25' Or tblTempJob.sar_status='PRO50' Or tblTempJob.sar_status='PRO75') AND tblTempJob.project_company_code=[tblTempProject].[subsidiary] AND tblTempJob.project_category_type_code=[tblTempProject].[project_cat_type_code] AND tblTempJob.project_number=[tblTempProject].[project_number] AND tblTempJob.external_resourcing=-1 GROUP BY tblTempProject.project_number ORDER BY tblTempJob.sar_status;
When execute this query then I get the following error: "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression <name> as part of an aggregate function. (Error 3122)"
When delete the line: GROUP BY tblTempProject.project_number, then it works. I don't know what I must do to get this right so that I have every project one time in the result.
I am trying to run a query with a field called "Age". The field Age is supposed to determine the age of the record based on what's in the remaining amount field and the cash date, the disp date, or the run date of the download (typically the last day of the month). So my expression for the Age column is as follows:
AGE: IIf(Min([REMAINING AMT])=0,[CASH DATE]-[DISP DATE 1],[CASH DATE]-#1/31/2005#),
which is saying of the remaining amount = 0, then calculate the age based on the difference between the cash date and the disp date, otherwise, calculate the age based on the cash date and the run date of the download, right?
Well, when I run the query, I get the following error message:
You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'IIf(Min[REMAINING AMT])=0,[tablename].[CASH DATE]-[DISP DATE 1],[CASH DATE]-#1/31/2005#)' as part of an aggregate function.
What does that mean and how can I get this to work? My "Total" line is set to "Expression". I even tried it with "Group By" and it gave me another error message. Please help me!
My query includes a few new columns I have added and I need to use GROUP BY so each new column is grouped per store.
When I try to use: GROUP BY newColumn1, newColumn2, newColumn3;
I get the following error: 'You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'Store Nbr' as part of an aggregate function'
All I want to do is have each new columns distinct value show up once for each particular store, not repeated multiple times. When it is repeated multiple times, it also shows for each store department which messes up the metrics of the report.
I am completely at a lose here. I have a LARGE sql query that was written before my time and how have the task of customizing it a little. It will run perfectly in Advisor Office (the program it was written for which uses access as the back end db). But if i try and create a query in access directly i get the following error:

it all works great but i need this information and its driving me mad. I can not see why it doesnt work within Access.
Any and All help would be great.

I have attached the FULL sql query if you want to look at it all.. it hurts my head to read it all ;)
SELECT (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) AS PalletCount, itemnumber, shipdate FROM orderdata d inner join itemmaster m on d.itemnumber = m.itemnumber
GROUP BY d.itemnumber, d.shipdate HAVING (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) > 0 ORDER BY d.shipdate, d.itemnumber;
and not get the aggregate error (3122). I am guessing it's giving me the error because i try to do a function in the select area.
I have a list of product sales for various regions.How do I write a query to only retrieve the record with the highest value in a region, but include the region and product code in the results?For example, If I run an aggregate query using the max function I still get the record for region:
SELECT Stats.ProdCode, Max(Stats.Sales) AS MaxOfSales, Stats.Region FROM Stats GROUP BY Stats.ProdCode, Stats.Region;
I realise that this returns the record for each region because the 'Group By' is applied to that field, but if I remove it then that field is not going to be available in the results(???)
I have a query that will be assisting me find pricing based upon quantity ranges of specific equipment for a given FY.
I'm no access expert, and I keep getting "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression...as part of an aggregate function".
I have tried several things, but cannot seem to figure this one out.
The SQL of my query is as follows:
SELECT IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity]) Between 1 And 4,[04b Pricing Products]![01-04],IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+ Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity]) Between 5 And 10,[04b Pricing Products]![05-10], IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])

I have a SQL query to gather data from a number of tables (balances, accounts, currencies)
Quote:
SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate], [tblAccounts].[AccountNumber], [tblCurrencies].[Ccy], [tblBalances].[Amount], ([tblBalances].[Amount]*[tblRates].[FXRate]) AS AmountUSD FROM (([tblBalances] INNER JOIN [tblAccounts] ON [tblBalances].[AccountID]=[tblAccounts].[AccountID]) INNER JOIN [tblCurrencies] ON [tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblCurrencies].[CcyID]) INNER JOIN [tblRates] ON ([tblBalances].[BalanceDate]=[tblRates].[RateDate]) AND ([tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblRates].[CcyID]) WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013#
How do I add 'AmountUSD' to the WHERE clause (such that I can only return records above or below a certain value, for example)
Along the lines of :
Quote:
WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013# AND AmountUSD>1000
I know it's an issue with referring to aggregated functions in the WHERE clause and you're supposed to use HAVING instead

During a client's stay with our agency, they are served among multiple contracts and are placed within multiple programs. Because clients move frequently between contracts and between programs, we have separate tables which have start and end date fields. It is common for any client to have multiple listings in these two tables, but with different event dates.
I am struggling to create a query that will capture each client's most CURRENT contract AND program. In the future, I'll want to create a parameter query that will allow the end user to enter a range of dates and capture all of the contract and program movement during a period of time.

Accounting 2 0 0 Banking 0 1 0 Finance 1 0 1 can anyone let me know as to what change should be there in the query so that i get the correct values in Total-count field with the sum of horizontal counts?
The user will input the JobId, PositionId, ActivityId. I want to return all the TaskName ,CompetencyId, CompetencyName Where the following: The highest priority within the same keyword Basically group by keyword then pick the highest priority I have done this:
SELECT Max(Competency.Priority), Competency. Keyword FROM Competency INNER JOIN ((ActivityTask RIGHT JOIN (positionTask RIGHT JOIN (JobTask RIGHT JOIN task ON JobTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) ON positionTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) ON ActivityTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) INNER JOIN TaskCompetency ON task.TaskID = TaskCompetency.TaskID) ON Competency.CompetencyID = TaskCompetency.CompetencyID WHERE (((JobTask.JobID)=[job])) OR (((positionTask.PositionID)=[position])) OR (((ActivityTask.GroupID)=[Activity])) GROUP BY Competency.CompetencyKeyword;
It works fine, it returns the all the keyword, and its highest priority. But I can’t return the Competency.CompetencyId, Competency. CompetencyName with the aggregate function Max
I have a table namely, leave_details wherein there is a column called DAYS and TDAYS, DAYS columns represent number of leaves an employee has taken in a single leave application and TDAYS represents Total number of leaves an employee has availled till date.
To calculate the TDAYS i need to SUM the DAYS column for every employee.
When an employee again log in the application he should be aware of the total number of leaves which he has already availed.
Please help me for the same as I am unable to do so.
Kindly revert back for any queries or any further information.
Manifest Weight StopNo State ------- ------- ------- ------ 71545 1000 10 VA 71545 1000 20 TN 71545 500 30 AL
Some Manifests are repeating There are multiple stops within each manifest (eg.: 10, 20, 30) and each stops has itsown weight info and State. What I am trying to figure out is the number of manifests, total weight within manifest, and the last stop and state of the manifest
Query: SELECT ManifestNo, Count(ManifestNo), Sum(Weight), Last(Stop No), Last(State) FROM RBP WHERE ShipmentType="ROAD" GROUP BY ManifestNo;
My Problem: Everything works fine, but the state of the last stop is not displaying properly..
My result is - 71545 3 2500 30 TN Correct output should be - 71545 3 2500 30 AL
I tried to remove the "last" from State but its gives me the aggregate function error. Any suggession ? Thanks in advance.. binjos
I have 2 tables, trying to update one table filed by using max(onefiled) from other table.
my qyery is as follows:
my tables are tblSubFlowForecast and tblPickCalendar
I have to update one field in tblSubFlowForecast by taking max(onefiled) from tblPickCalendar.
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast INNER JOIN tblPickCalendar ON tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry SET tblSubFlowForecast.[Latest Replen Date] = ( SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE Type="Replen");
I am getting error saying that "Operation must be an updateable query" :(
I have also tried in other way:
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast SET [Latest Replen Date] = (SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry AND tblPickCalendar.Type="Replen" ) FROM tblSubFlowForecast,tblPickCalendar
This is giving me syntax error (missing operator) :(
Can any body tell me why it is giving error? Thanks in advance

I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale] FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] >= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
I'm really hopeful that somebody can help us out here. I'll explain as best I can.
I've got a table, where details of particular online environments are kept. Each online environment is assigned to up to four people. By this, it may be assigned to nobody, or it may be assigned to four seperate people, or anywhere in between.
What i'm trying to create is a query where the user of the database can type in a particular persons name, and it will return all the details of any record where that person is mentioned in ANY of the four colums, which can then be used to generate a report for that particular individual.
However, i'm really unsure of how to do this, and am aware that there is probably a really simple solution to my quandry, that will leave me kicking myself up the rear like theres no tomorrow.
Any advice as to how to proceed would be hugely appreciated, genuinely.
