View RepliesI need to select two fields in a select DISTINCT query

anyone know how to make this work?
Hello,
I have a strange problem: one of my comboboxe is looking up a column in one of my table. Some of the record can be duplicated so I decided to change SELECT to SELECT DISTINCT in my SQL for the row source but it doesn't seem to change anything. Is anybody's got an idea why?
Ok , I will try and explain this as best I can.
I have a database and would like to run a DISTINCT query ( which I can do no problems ) I would also like to count the number of records at the same time. Say for example my database looked like this
Name Fruit
Adam Apple
Carrie Apple
Hollie Apple
Joe Apple
Adam Orange
Carrie Orange
Hollie Orange
Joe Orange
What I would like it to do is Select the distinct names and list them once ( I can do this bit )
Adam
Carrie
Hollie
Joe
I would then like to count the number of records found for each name and put it next to the relevant name
for example Adam (2) (one apple and one orange)
How would I write the actual query
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance
Adam
PS , great site btw
I am trying to run a query that queries and returns several data fields with one of them being an ID field. I want to select distinct IDs only, however, I don't think just adding a 'distinct' qualifier prior the ID field will do it--the only field that I want to be distinct is the ID, the others it doesn't matter.
how to add a 'distinct' qualifier to a query that just applies to one field only (the ID field)?
Select distinct ID, firstName, lastName, DOB, City from Person where City = "NYC";
I am working in Access 2003. I have a combo box based on the query below that works perfectly except that it shows duplicate Department Names in the combo box. I have not been able to find any way to show the Department Name only once. I have tried putting in SELECT DISTINCT in the string, but to no avail I recieve an error :
ORDER By clause(DepartmentMembers.[DepartmentMembers]) conflicts with DISTINCT.
Any light you can shed on this subject would be greatly appriciated. I have been researching forums for over two days and have not been able to generate a solution to this. Thank you in advance!

I am wanting to use the SELECT DISTINCT clause to choose unique records from a DB but I need my query to give me all of the fields of the table. When I run a SQL statement such as:
Code:SELECT DISTINCT ContactID, FirstName, LastName, ContactType, SpecialtyFROM Contact_Specialties
I do not get distinct Names because the full row is distinct yet the ContactID is not distinct on its own.
How do I SELECT the all of the fields that I want while only having the ContactID be distinct?
Please help I am a newbie.

Is it possible to change this query to search for either a Name or by an employee ID number? The query runs a report on after update. Currently I can only enter the name not the employee ID
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW First(Inventory.Employee) AS FirstOfEmployee, Inventory.[Employee ID]
FROM Inventory GROUP BY Inventory.[Employee ID] ORDER BY First(Inventory.Employee);
Is it possible to use a variable in the first line of the following code?
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT [June-11].[Full Name], [June-11].[Level 8 Name]
FROM [June-11]
WHERE ((([June-11].[Level 6 Name])="SMITH, BOB") AND ((Exists (SELECT * FROM [July-11]
WHERE [June-11].[Full Name] = [July-11].[Full Name]))=False));
I have a combo box that lists months and I want to be able to choose which month goes in the SELECT DISTINCT line of code. So, where it says [June-11], I would like it to reference my combo box so I can select the month.
Hi
I am trying to use a query to populate a combo box. works fine as I am using one table. I want to select DISTINCT records which works. However i need the ID of that record in the select statement. Anyone know how to select two things in a select distinct query??
Select DISTINCT tbl_Aplaws.Level2 FROM tbl_Aplaws WHERE tbl_Aplaws.Level1 = 'Business' ORDER BY tbl_Aplaws.Level2;
this works. but i need to select the tbl_Aplaws.AplawID as well. throws errors
I am trying to write a query that will select distinct values from three columns. The table name is Hoods. The columns are C1, C2, and C3. All three columns contain colors and can have the same values, but I only need to have a particular color selected once. For instance, all three columns contain "Black", but "Black" should only be listed once. The result of the query will be used in a drop down list.
The following works for one column:
SELECT DISTINCT [Hoods].[C1]
FROM Hoods
WHERE C1<>"";
Are there any suggestions?
Thanks
I have the following SQL which returns rows of distinct numbers that are calculated from a field.
SELECT Distinct (Left([ProjectID],4)) AS NumberOfCalls
FROM tblProject;
ProjectID looks something like this : 1307-IND-001 and NumberOfCalls looks like : 1307
I need to count the number of unique "NumberOfCalls" entries that there are in a list of about 50 rows. Currently the SQL returns a list of numbers like this:
1307
1311
1401
etc...
I just want NumberOfCalls to show "3". Is there an easy way to do this?

I am trying to get a combo box to only show unique values, but I can't get it to work properly - it still shows duplicates in the list.
The Row Source is set to
SELECT DISTINCT Areas.ID, Areas.Area FROM Areas ORDER BY Areas.Area;
And the combo is bound to column 2
I have a database with an import process which normalises incoming data and appends to various tables. No issues with that. I also have a function within that process which counts the number of new entries for a summary popup when the process has completed.This works by querying the staging table, prior to the append, into a recordset and using the .RecordCount to increment the count (multiple files can be imported at once so this effectively provides a running count, per file, to give a total for the whole import)
I thought it was working fine but this morning I noticed that the count which appeared on the popup was 1 greater than the number of actual new records. I checked the source files and noticed that, for whatever reason, there was a duplicate entry in there. So I presume that's why the count was out by 1.
There's no integrity issue in the main tables as the composite primary keys ensure that duplication shouldn't be a problem. Indeed, the record in question, duplicated in the source, appears only once in the main table post-import. So not too worried about that.
However, I need the count in the popup to be accurate (it tells the users how many new entries require further investugation). And what's puzzling me is that I use DISTINCT in the query, which I would have thought should eliminate any potential dupes in the recordset and thus provide the correct count. It seems it doesn't?
Code:
Public lngNewBalancesTBI As Long ' Defined in a separate module...
-------
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....
Why the dupe, which is still present in the staging table, also makes it over to the recordset, even though I'm using DISTINCT?
I am currently trying to make a form which will generate a report for the users. Currently the form has 3 combo boxes where users select which fields they want displayed from the table in the report. They also have sorting options next to them (Asc or Desc). I am now trying to put in a multi select list box under each combo box to allow users to filter the report to their liking. Currently I am trying to pull distinct values from the specific field of the table and display them in the listbox for users to select.
I have tried using vba to set me.filter1.rowsource = SELECT DISTINCT me.combo1 FROM EVAP_Database, but this doesnt seem to work. I have also tried a few other codes and still no luck.
Table: EVAP Database
Combo: Combo1
Filter Listbox: Filter1
Hi, Wish if some one could help me ASAP.
I have a table which contains name, tel, email
i need to import only records which have distinct email.
I do need need to import data of all three fields but only which has distinct email.

How would I ensure that the query returned only unique rows (where column 1 is unique) based on the first alphabetical record of column 2?
Any ideas?
I want to count the number of distinct dates in a table. Ie - So I know there were 80 requests over 5 days.
The syntax I imagine is something like:
myText = Dlookup("count(DISTINCT myDate)", "myTable")
Can somebody please help.
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I have a query with in excess of 20 fields. One of the fields is [POLICY NUMBER]. I want to use DISTINCT to only show rows of data where the Policy number is unique.
If I put DISTINCT after SELECT the query will only include results where the combination of values from all the fields are unique and I dont want this.
How would I go about this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Matt
I am running a query in a combo box but for some reason the following SQL statement does not give me the result I am after. Which is to only displaying the distinct records. It continues to display the multiple occurrences of the records. I also tried distinctrow with no better results.....
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone!,
I have a table with the follwing;
ShopID, CustomerID, Month, Item_ref, Product Category
There are about one thousand shops.
The CustomerID field is only unique per shop.
I.e. all transactions for customer ID '002' in shop 1 will be for the same customer, but customer ID '002' could appear in another shop and will be a different customer,
I want to be able to bring back a list of distinct customers, the number of items they have had and the product categories.
Has anyone got any ideas how I do this? I presume I would need to do a count distinct or something??
thanks!,
Sasha
I have a table like this in MS Access database:
IDDateCustomerIDInvoiceNoItemNoAmount
101/01/2007A1AAA1
201/01/2007A1BBB2
301/01/2007A2CCC3
601/01/2007B5AAA6
701/01/2007A6BBB7
801/01/2007B5BBB8
I want to get disctinct count of InvoiceNo while summing up Amount by Date and CustomerID in one query. Firstly, I tried to use correlated query to count unique records but it failed.
SELECT A.Date, A.CustomerID, (SELECT COUNT(B.InvoiceNo) FROM Table1 B WHERE B.Date = A.Date AND B.CustomerID = A.CustomerID ) AS CountOfDistInvNo, Sum(A.Amount) AS SumOfAmount
FROM Table1 A
GROUP BY A.Date, A.CustomerID;
The result of Count is not a unique count. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this correlated query? :confused:
After hours of googling on internet, the solution I got is equivalent to querying on top of the resulting table from another query.
My final query is
SELECT B.Date, B.CustomerID, Count(B.InvoiceNo) AS CountOfInvoiceNo, Sum(B.SumOfAmount) AS SumOfAmount
FROM (SELECT A.Date, A.CustomerID, A.InvoiceNo, SUM(A.Amount) AS SumOfAmount FROM Table1 A GROUP BY A.Date, A.CustomerID, A.InvoiceNo) AS B
GROUP BY B.Date, B.CustomerID;
Is there a better solution than this in Access? :)
Thanks,

Tried several suggestions in the forum but haven't found one to match my needs.
I have one table, Jupiter and need to use this query
SELECT Jupiter.codename AS Build, Count(Jupiter.tooling_ind) AS [# Needing Tool], Count(IIf([tool_req_type]='OR',([requisition_no]))) AS [# Tooled], [# Tooled]/[# Needing Tool] AS [% Tooled], Jupiter.tooling_ind
FROM Jupiter
GROUP BY Jupiter.codename, Jupiter.tooling_ind
HAVING (((Jupiter.tooling_ind)="Y"));
For each "codename", there is an attached "part_no" which can appear under a codename several times. The problem is that I need to count only one instance of the "part_no" for each "codename".
So, my query looks like this:
Build # Needing Tool #Tooled
LP1 769 192
The # Needing Tool is counting every record that, say pn 10592 shows up in and I need it to be counted only once in each "Build"
I did try this suggestion I found with no results.
SELECT Jupiter.codename AS Build, Count(Jupiter.tooling_ind) AS [# Needing Tool], Count(IIf([tool_req_type]='OR',([requisition_no]))) AS [# Tooled], [# Tooled]/[# Needing Tool] AS [% Tooled], Jupiter.tooling_ind
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Jupiter.part_no FROM Jupiter)Jupiter
GROUP BY Jupiter.codename, Jupiter.tooling_ind
HAVING (((Jupiter.tooling_ind)="Y"));
Is there a way to do this somehow?
Thanks!

I have a problem using distinct or distinctrow in one of my query. The result shown reflects all records instead of distinct records. May I know what may be the cause of the problem?
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT Assets.*, Depreciation.DepreciationDate, Depreciation.DepreciationAmount
