Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)

We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B
red  - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red  - pen
blue - pencil
blue - highlighter
blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
          red   blue  green
  pen       2    0    1
  marker    0    1    0
  pencil      1    3    0

Hi,I am trying to output a list of data from a table, showing only one record of each TypeID.So, for instance, I have a simple SQL query that says:SELECT DISTINCT AlbumTypeID FROM Album
ORDER BY AlbumTypeID DESCThis works correctly, and gives a list of 1,2,3. But I need more information than that, I want the Description field output with the ID, but how can I do this without assigning that to be Distinc also?When I try: SELECT DISTINCT AlbumTypeID, Description FROM Album ORDER BY AlbumTypeID DESCThe output is completely wrong.Many thanks
Hi ALL,
I need help in calculating sum of market value based on property_id. The sum should be calculated by finding the average market value for a given property and then sum the individual average of the property to get the Distinct sum.
I have a very little knowlegde in Cubes and analysis services. I need to perform this distinct sum by using calculated members using MDX on SQL server 2000.
Data example
P_Code Cus Prpty_IdMrkt Val
3000 1234 1111 $10,000 $10,000
3000 1234 2222 $20,000
3000 1234 3333 $30,000 $20,000
3000 5678 1111 $10,000
3000 5678 2222 $20,000 $30,000
3000 5678 3333 $30,000
3000 1020 1111 $10,000
3000 1020 3333 $30,000
Distinct Sum $60,000

We have a query in which there are 20,000 rows and 90 distinct ID's
If we say
SELECT distinct siteid ,ts1, ts2, ts3, ts4, ts5, ts6, ts7, ts8
from #TEMPX
we get the 90 distinct values, but if we say
SELECT distinct siteid ,ts1, ts2, ts3, ts4, ts5, ts6, ts7, ts8, ts1avg, ts2avg, ts3avg, ts4avg, ts5avg, ts6avg, ts7avg, ts8avg from #TEMPX
TS1 contains 90 distinct values, whily ts1avg has 2,000 disitinct rows
Is there a way to get Distinct to work against only one column, i.e. SiteID ?

Hi,
Has anyone encountered this?
After applying SP 5a I found out that my SQL strings with sums and groups produced double rows. I found out that grouping one column (type CHAR(6)) produced two distinct rows of the equal values.
All the values in that column have 4 characters, but it seemed like some distinct values were grouped by the whole field length i.e 6 characters. I haven't seen earlier that those blanks after field value change the grouping results.
When I transferred the table and data to old SQL Server without any SPs, query showed distinct values correctly.
The sort order and other settings are the same. Can anyone tell where to look for help?
TIA, Al
SELECT first.name,first.country, second.name, second.string
FROM
first LEFT OUTER JOIN second
ON
first.name = second.name
WHERE
first.date='2015/02/24'
This query means all record from second table and matching record from first table. Now my question is that on 24 Feb 2015 I have duplicate names in second table and I want distinct names from second table and then its matching values from first table. Now my query is showing all duplicate values from second table and its matching record from first table.
Hello,
I have a table, which contains well over 30'000 rows. One of the Columns is for ransaction type, of which there are about 20-25 different types.
I am trying to pull a list of each type value, using a select distinct TSQL command...but thus far am unsuccessful.
Has anyone had a similar situation?? Am I wrong in using a Select Distinct?? Many thanks to all who reply!
Here is my dataset used by my report definition. The combo of barcode and order id is unique. The 'isDiscountedItem' field indicates if the customer used a coupon to purchased an item at a lower price.
departmentId classId barcode orderId isDiscountedItem

1 1 123 2 False
1 1 123 3 True

2 7 456 3 False
... ... ... ... ...
I want to group my report by department id, class id and barcode. Then, I want to count all distinct order ids for which there was at leat one discounted item.
My report would produce the following output considering the above dataset:

I need to somehow filter the results of my stored procedure to return the distinct "OrderNum" values. I'm using SQL database and I'm look for a way to alter the results from the stored procedure. My stored procedure rptOpenOrderLines currently returns all invoices (items under a OrderNum). I want to somehow filter those results to return one and only one of those "OrderNum" variables from the invoices. The tricky part is that I need to somehow find a way to do this without going into my database and directly altering the SQL stored procedure. I would be happy for any recommendations/ideas. Thanks!

I have to insert the Values from the Flat Files , My table structures have Primary keys , how do i insert only the distinct values into the table without the ERROR VIOLATION OF Primary Key already exists a record.
Dropping and Adding Relationships after insert is a way but doesnt serve the whole purpose is there a way we can eliminate duplicate records based on their Primary key before inserting them into the Database.
I need the Rate to be of a value from 1-5 to indicate the stars for Rating attribute in my database.

I am having a question about document map on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I found one problem with the values retrived for the document level. That is, the values are not distinct, they are duplicate for the document level. Is it possible for us to get the distinct values for a particular document level? Hope my question is clear for your help.
Thank you very much in advance for your help and advices. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
best way to go about this. My query works great and displays the information I require.
EG all demographic for ED, IP & OP. However if a patient has a record in each of the tables then I get the same info multiple times.

I have a feeling this can be handled by SSAS but haven't built an analysis cube yet because I am unfamiliar with how they work. I was wondering if this is possible in a simple query. I tried to set something up in a #Temp table. Problem is the query takes forever to run because I am dealing with 1.7 Million rows. Doing an insert into #temp select columnA, columnB, columnC from 8 different tables takes a bit.
