Hi,
I am attempting to write a complex query to group sets of data. I have my
query working correctly, but i ran into a problem with sorting.
I want to sort my query by a string field.
Is there a way around sorting using a field other than numeric of a query
containing a union?
Thanks,
Karen
I have a query i have been optimizing. Now runs in about 15 minutes but was wondering if there is any way tr educe the SORT cost.
Currently the high costs left are the Table insert which is 58% and the Sort cost of 36%
The inner query below is around 400million rows and aggregates to around 15,000,000 rows)
SELECT@1 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -1, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@2 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -2, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@3 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -3, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@4 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -4, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@5 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -5, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
[code]....
I have successfully execute a union query. How can i create a make-table query to accomodate the resultset of the union query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks
SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have three tables: one that holds users, on that holds products, and one that holds votes on products (fields are userid, productid, and the vote they made (1-5)). I am trying to come up with a query that orders the product result set by number of votes both descending and ascending for a particular user. If a user has not voted, then there will not be anything in the vote table for that user. I am not even sure where to begin on this as it is way out of my SQL experience.
This is a normal query I use to just pull them out ordered by name.
SELECT PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID, PRODUCTS.P_NAME, USERS.U_USERNAME
FROM [PRODUCTS]
INNER JOIN [USERS] ON USERS.USER_ID = PRODUCTS.USER_ID
WHERE STATUS_ID = 1
ORDER BY PRODUCTS.P_NAME DESC
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
I've got some SQL that works as far as returning a recordset from a series ofUNION statements.viz:SELECT whateverUNION thisUNION thatUNION otherNow I want to group and sum on it's results.Started out tying:SELECT * FROM(union stuff)....but couldn't even get past the syntax check.Where I'm headed is a sort of pivot table presentation of some hours dataassociated with various projects with a column for each of six date ranges.Bottom line: can somebody give me a pointer to the syntax needed to wrap thoseUNION statements and then select/group/sum their results?--PeteCresswell
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL script which runs perfectly on my test database, but fails to run on the (identical) production server. After some research, I found out that the field "Remark" (nvartext type of 800 chars) is the cause of the problem. Error message: "The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator."
Taken this error message into account in the script, I changed it to the following: "CASE WHEN dbo.User_Updates.Remark IS NULL THEN '<no comment>' ELSE (dbo.User_Updates.Remark) END AS Remarks"
This also works on the test server, but still refuses to run on the production server. Does anyone know what I can do to solve this?
thank you in advance
Guys, I need help sorting a recursive query. This is my table
CTLG Table
txtID(PK)
txtParentID(FK)
numSortID
txtKeywords
txtTitle
memContent
I'm using txtParentID as the FK, which matches with txtID, to create the recursion.
This is my current Query
This is my current Query:
Code Snippet
WITH tree (data, id, level, pathstr, numSortID, memContent)
AS (SELECT txtTitle, txtid, 0,
CAST('' AS NVARCHAR(MAX)), numSortID, memContent
FROM CTLG
WHERE txtParentID IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT txtTitle, V.txtid, t.level + 1, t.pathstr + '>' + V.txtTitle, V.numSortID, v.memContent
FROM CTLG V
INNER JOIN tree t
ON t.id = V.txtParentID)
SELECT SPACE(level) + data as data, id, level, pathstr, numSortID, memContent
FROM tree
The output is this:
Data
ID
Level
pathstr

The Order that I would like to have is based on NumSortID and by Levels. Like the above example.
Does clicking interactive sort button in a column reporting services 2005 result re-execution of the query.
Or will it just re-print the rendered data in the layout and so perform better in comparison to the implementation which can be done using drill down to same report with the help of some extra parameters

I need help with a union query. My table structure is as follows:
OffierID (key field)
CaseFileID
CurrentOffer
PrevOffer
There table can have multiple entries per CaseFileID.
I need a query that will tell the highest value in Current Offer or
PrevOffer for each CaseFileID. I have a union query that combines
CurrentOffer and PrevOffer and then selects the top value for a
specific CaseFileID; however, I want to have a complete list of
CaseFileIDs with one value for PrevOffer. My current query is as
follows:
SELECT TOP 1 Offer FROM
(
select CurrentOffer as PrevOffer
FROM tblOffers
WHERE tblOffers.CaseFileID = @CaseFileID AND CurrRank <> 1
UNION
select PrevOffer as PrevOffer
FROM tblOffers
WHERE tblOffers.CaseFileID = @CaseFileID
) tmp
ORDER BY 1 desc
How can I get this to work for all CaseFiles? Thanks for your help.
I want to perform the task which is querying the table using the select statemtent and then inserting some values using the insert/update statement.
Can i perform the both (select and insert) using the union statement.
Hi gusy, this is the first time I am trying to use "Union" query. I am trying to create a view(linking and taking data from 3 tables) so I can create a crosstab report out of it.
Basically one table contains about 12 fields and I am trying to grab data from all of them is they are not null.So this is my query,but when it executes it only dispalys result from the first query,what am I doing wrong.
SELECT dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RemovalistNumber, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.SupplierID,
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarInsurance
FROM dbo.RelocateeRemovalist INNER JOIN
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts ON dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID = dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.RelocateID
WHERE (dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarInsurance IS NOT NULL)
UNION
SELECT dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RemovalistNumber, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.SupplierID,
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarTransport
FROM dbo.RelocateeRemovalist INNER JOIN
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts ON dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID = dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.RelocateID
WHERE (dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarTransport IS NOT NULL)

Hi, i have a union query that lists all the years from a date field and add the currentyer if its not already listed:
SELECT DISTINCT Cas Yearlist
FROM dbo.ViewPressReleases UNION SELECT datepart(yyyy, getdate())
ORDER BY DatePart(yyyy,[PressreleaseDate])
what i need to do is filter it with something along the lines of:
WHERE Yearlist LIKE myvariable
although i know i cant simply use:
WHERE Yearlist
it would have to be something like:
WHERE DatePart(yyyy,[PressreleaseDate]) UNION datepart(yyyy, getdate()) LIKE myvariable
Does anyone know how to write this correctly?
I've been trying to do a union with a subquery - I've made a differentexample which follows the same principles as follows:First bit brings back accounts which are in the top 10 to 15 by accountname.Second bit brings back accounts which are in the bottom 10 to 15 byaccount name.I want to union the two result sets together. These selects work asthey are, but don't when i take the comment away from the unionoperator.select top 5 c1.accountnofrom tbl_customer c1where c1.accountno not in(select top 10 c2.accountnofrom tbl_customer c2order by c2.accountName asc)order by c1.accountName asc--union allselect top 5 c1.accountnofrom tbl_customer c1where c1.accountno not in(select top 10 c2.accountnofrom tbl_customer c2order by c2.accountName desc)order by c1.accountName descSo my problem is really about how to have an order by in a sub querywhich is then used in a main query which is then unioned with anotherquery - SQL Server doesn't seem to like that combination of things. Anyclues anyone?Cheers,NAJH

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello every body.I have a small issue.Problem: I have a table with 4 descriptor columns (type). I need toformulate a query to retrieve a count for each type so I can groupby...etc. The view I have works, but doesn't work when I supplement thequery with some functions... they just don't like the UNION. The realproblem is I can't change any of the udf's or queries, just the view.The view is inner joined back on to the primary table 'qt_ins' againand a heap of other tables. But for this post and to not complicate ittoo much I've just included the primary table and the view...Also my querys work if I don't put a where clause on for the VIEW. eg:.... and cv.type = 'Environmental'.... for some reason with a clause itgets stuck in an *infinite loop.Conditions: The table structure cannot be changed in anyway.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a question,
Im trying to use the UNION ALL statement to join my results.
I have multiple talbes, each table has the table name as a date: 28_1_2008, 29_1_2008, etc..
Some dates dont have tables.
What I want to do is write an sql query that gets all the results from a rage of dates..
ie. range : 27_1_2008 to 29_1_2008
What im doing :
sql1: Select * from 27_1_2008 UNION ALL select * from 28_1_2008 UNION ALL select * from 29_1_2008.
It works fine if all tables exist, but in my data base every date DOESNT NECESSARLY have a table.
ie. say I have tables 27_1_2008 , 28_1_2008, 30_1_2008
Now if I do
sql2: Select * from 27_1_2008 UNION ALL Select * from 28_1_2008
This works.
But,
sql3: Select * from 28_1_2008 UNION ALL Select * from 29_1_2008 UNION ALL Select * from 30_1_2008
Causes an error, and DOESNT return any records..
I need a way so that even if one particular table doesnt exist, the others should be returned.
i.e in sql3, it should skip the non existing "29_1_2008" table, and return the rest. As of now, it doesnt return anything,
Anyone with some suggestions?
I have the following query;
SELECT TOP 1 DateTime, TagName, Value, CONVERT(varchar(15), DateTime, 108) AS Time
FROM v_AnalogHistory
WHERE (DateTime >= CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE() - 1, 112) AS DATETIME)) AND (DateTime < CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
AS DATETIME)) AND (TagName = N'LI_759') AND (wwRetrievalMode = N'delta') AND (CONVERT(decimal(38, 3), Value) IS NOT NULL)
ORDER BY CONVERT(decimal(38, 3), Value), CONVERT(varchar(15), DateTime, 108)
which produces the following:
LI_759
-0.001
13:28:20
The second query;
SELECT TOP 1 DateTime, TagName, Value, CONVERT(varchar(15), DateTime, 108) AS Time
FROM v_AnalogHistory
WHERE (DateTime >= CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE() - 1, 112) AS DATETIME)) AND (DateTime < CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
AS DATETIME)) AND (TagName = N'LI_759') AND (wwRetrievalMode = N'delta') AND (CONVERT(decimal(38, 3), Value) IS NOT NULL)
ORDER BY CONVERT(decimal(38, 3), Value) DESC, CONVERT(varchar(15), DateTime, 108) DESC
Produces the following:
LI_759
0.3661
06:09:30
I have tried the previous answers to this post and none of them worked, i get various errors saying sql is unable to parse. what I would like to have is one query that produces the following:

Thank You.
currently I am investing some time in learning SQL, I have been working with a sample db, and have come across UNION.
I see many examples showing the same thing, 2 tables with identical datatype and either with a alias or same name. My question is, can a UNION be used for more than 2 tables?
I currently have 3 tables: orders(customerNum,orderNum,orderDate), orderline(orderNum,partNum),
part(partNum,description)
I want to display orderdate and ordernum, only if partNum= 1234 or customerNum= 123
everything is char datatype
I am able to innerjoin, however I am somewhat confused attempting a UNION query. is this possible?
so far
select orders.orderNum,orderDate
from orders,orderline
where orders.orderNum=orderline.orderNum and customerNum='xyz'
union
select orderline.orderNum,part.partNum
from orderline,part
where part.partNum=orderline.partNum and orderline.partNum='abcd'
order by 1
as you can see i am somewhat lost. At the moment the orderDate column is showing partnum and dates. But if someone can show how to make this possible I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a database of automobiles. I have many many columns, it is blank of course until I can start filling it with information.
I will have four main rows. Yearnum, Make, Model, and VehicleStyle columns
I will use Honda Accord as an example.
Honda has made the Accord since probably the 80's
I know that if I
SELECT yearnum
FROM YearNum
ORDER BY yearnum
I am using C++ Builder too..
it will put all my years in order, in a combo box. But I believe it will also have duplicates, like for example They may have made a 1995 Honda Accord and then made a 1995 Honda accord LS which may have different wiring colors and speakers sizes than the regular accord.
Is there anyway to filter out multiple years, so I could just have the regular order of years?

The problem is the organizer field. I need to generate an url, but I get all sorts of problems with data types, ie. you can convert an int into ntext.
So the question is basically, how do I get the following to work:
'<a class=kalender_link href=http://www.xxx.no/default.asp?V_ITEM_ID=' + item.id + '> KAN < / a >'

I have a sql statement with 2 SELECT statements combined with the keyword UNION. Something like this
SELECT a, b
FROM ... WHERE ...
UNION
SELECT c, d
FROM ... WHERE ...
If i execute this in the Query Analizer everything works fine and i get the results. But if i execute this through Visual Basic (with database.OpenRecordSet(sql) ) i get following error message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query .... Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
If i execute the first part of this combined query in VB (e.g. SELECT a, b FROM ... WHERE ...), no errors occur. The same with the second part.
I find it really strange and any hints and tips are welcome!
thanks in advance.
When I run the following query with a UNION:
SELECT dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.NAME, dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.TITLE, LOWFARE, ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.AMOUNT as PRICE, 15 AS Lostsavings, LEFT(dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.CostCtr, 4) AS COMPANYCODE, ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.InYear, ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.InMonth, 'TRADITIONAL BOOKING' AS Reason FROM ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL INNER JOIN dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04 ON ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.AWID = dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.AWID AND ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.InMonth = dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.COLMONTH INNER JOIN dbo.TBLMONTHVALUE ON dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.COLMONTH = dbo.TBLMONTHVALUE.monthname WHERE LEFT(dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.CostCtr, 4) = '1038' AND INYEAR = '2004'AND InMonth = 'OCTOBER' AND (ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.DESTINATION = 'DOMESTIC') AND (ITPSG.TBLCCONLINETOOL.TYPE = 'TRADITIONAL') UNION SELECT dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.NAME, dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.TITLE, LOWFARE, ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.PRICE as PRICE, ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.Lostsavings AS Lostsavings, LEFT(dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.CostCtr, 4) AS COMPANYCODE, ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.InYear, ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.InMonth, ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.Reason FROM ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS INNER JOIN dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04 ON ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.AWID = dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.AWID AND ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.InMonth = dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.COLMONTH INNER JOIN dbo.TBLMONTHVALUE ON dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.COLMONTH = dbo.TBLMONTHVALUE.monthname WHERE (LEFT(dbo.TBLCCINFORMATIONOCTOBER04.CostCtr, 4) = '1038') AND (ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.InYear = '2004') AND (ITPSG.TBLCCEXCEPTIONS.InMonth = 'OCTOBER') ORDER BY Reason
It returns these 16 records, 10 from the 1st table and 6 from the second. If I just remove the UNION operator and run them seperatly I get 11 from the 1st table and 6 from the second.
The record I am losing is the second of these two, but with the fields I am selecting they appear identical:
R,JosephField Operations Director INULL267.00001510382004octoberTRADITIONAL BOOKING
R,JosephField Operations Director INULL267.00001510382004octoberTRADITIONAL BOOKING
Is there any reason why the UNION statement is making that second record vanish? Is there a way I can alter the statement so I can run the query with the UNION and not lose records?
Thanks,
Guys can you tell me whether there is any difference between the following queries.......... Both of them are resulting same number of records. Not sure whether the output is same or not. Just wanted to know if result output wise if there is no difference than performance wise there might be some. Kinldy educate me on the same.

I need to all user IDs where the users have 3 permissions which are in a table holding about 100 different permissions
I need to find the user IDs like I do below but somehow have all three in the WHERE clause (I guess? but this does not work)
SELECT employees.employeeID FROM employees INNER JOIN employeePermissions ON employees.employeeID = employeePermissions.EmployeeID
AND employeePermissions.PermissionID = 'PROJECT_VIEW_ALL'
AND employeePermissions.PermissionID = 'PROJECT_MODIFY'
employeePermissions.PermissionID = 'PROJECT_DELETE'
the Permissions table has an EmployeeID column and a PermissionID column(which holds the permission name)
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks.
I am having alot of trouble with a union query Im trying to create.The bizarre thing is I initially created this query and managed tosave it as a viewSELECT ID, DepartureDate, City, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' AS TypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, DestCity, Country, Region, fkDepartureAirport,Price, '2' AS TypeFROM dbo.vFlightHowever when I tried to update the view to this:SELECT ID, DepartureDate, fkCity, City, fkCountry, Country,Region, fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' ASTypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, fkCity, DestCity, fkCountry, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, Price, '2'FROM dbo.vFlightit comes up with the error: view definition includes no output columnsor includes no items in the from clause.Any ideas??????All suggestions appreciatedAlly
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Folks,
I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I have with a union query.
I have the following table structure
MyTable
[ColumnOne] [ColumnTwo] [ColumnThree]
Minuture Poodle Poodle Dog
Terrier - Border Terrier Dog
Alsatian Null Dog
Doberman Null Dog
Tiger Large Cat Cat
Lion Null Cat
Tabby Domestic Cat
And I want to perform union on ColumnOne and ColumnTwo to produce output that looks like this:
[OutputCol1] [OutputCol2]
Poodle Dog
Terrier Dog
Alsatian Dog
Doberman Dog
Large Cat Cat
Lion Cat
Domestic Cat
At the moment, I have the following:
Select ColumnOne from MyTable where ColumnTwo = null union select ColumnTwo from MyTable where not ColumnTwo = null
Which created OutputCol1. But how do I include OutputCol2? Any ideas - when i try this i get errors and cant see a way around this.
I hope the example is clear, any questions let me know,
Thanks

I am trying to run a UNION ALL query in SQL SERVER 2014 on multiple large CSV files - the result of which i want to get into a table in SQL Server. below is the query which works in MSAccess but not on SQL Server 2014:
SELECT * INTO tbl_ALLCOMBINED FROM OPENROWSET
(
'Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0' , 'Text;Database=D:DownloadsCSV;HDR=YES',
'SELECT t.*, (substring(t.[week],3,4))*1 as iYEAR,
''SPAIN'' as [sCOUNTRY], ''EURO'' as [sCHAR],
[Code] ....
What i need is:
1] to create the resultant tbl_ALLCOMBINED table
2] transform this table using PIVOT command with following transformation as shown below:
PAGEFIELD: set on Level = 'Item'
COLUMNFIELD: Sale_Week (showing 1 to 52 numbers for columns)
ROWFIELD: sCOUNTRY, sCHAR, CATEGORY, MANUFACTURER, BRAND, DESCRIPTION, EAN (in this order)
DATAFIELD: 'Sale Value with Innovation'
3] Can the transformed form show columnfields >255 columns i.e. if i want to show all KPI values in datafield?
P.S: the CSV's contain the same number of columns and datatype but the columns are >100, so i dont think it will be feasible to use a stored proc to create a table specifying that number of columns.

I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS (
SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum

LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]

Could somebody help me please to optimize this query?
Hi, I've created a SQL union query that grabs the top three values of a test and puts the results together on one line item by a recordnumber.
The only problem is, one value is generating the error: " Syntax error converting the varchar value '=' to a column of data type int."
This field is an operator field, so it will only display operator values ( <, >, = ). Everything seems to work BUT the union join on that column, which is a varchar data type. I need this union to work, and Im frustrated that I can't seem to figure out why I can't get the logic to work. Can someone take a look at this and help me with it?
The union query looks like this:
exec('select
RecordNumber,Sum(rank1) as HbA1CRank1,max(Operator1) as HbA1COperator1,sum(contentValue1) as HbA1CContentvalue1,max(dos1) as HbA1CDOS1,Sum(rank2) as HbA1CRank2,max(Operator2) as HbA1COperator2,sum(contentValue2) as HbA1CContentvalue2,max(dos2) as HbA1CDOS2,Sum(rank3) as HbA1CRank3,max(Operator3) as HbA1COperator3,sum(contentValue3) as HbA1CContentvalue3,max(dos3) as HbA1CDOS3
from
(SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT recordnumber, Rank AS rank1, cast(Operator as varchar) as Operator1, contentValue AS contentvalue1, DOS AS DOS1, 0 AS rank2, 0 as Operator2, 0 AS contentvalue2, 0 AS DOS2, 0 AS rank3, 0 as Operator3, 0 AS contentvalue3, 0 AS DOS3FROM (SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw1 WHERE vw1.rECORDnUMBER = vw2.rECORDnUMBER AND vw1.ItemCode = vw2.ItemCode AND vw1.Operator = vw2.Operator AND vw1.DOS > vw2.DOS) AS Rank, * FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw2) vw3WHERE (Rank = 0)ORDER BY RecordNumber

Can anyone help? It looks right to me, I just can't figure out why the error keeps coming up =
Thank you!
