The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Query to calculate total based on field criteria

Asked by connelvalentine in SQL Server 2005

Tags: , ,

Hi,

I'm using SQL Server 2005 to create a query to use in an Access 2003 report.

The SQL statement is as follows:
SELECT     dbo.tbl_entities.fld_entityname, dbo.tbl_codes.fld_year, dbo.tbl_categories.fld_categoryname, dbo.tbl_subcategories.fld_subcategoryname,
                      dbo.tbl_budget.fld_purpose, dbo.tbl_budget.fld_unitcost * dbo.tbl_budget.fld_quantity AS fld_total
FROM         dbo.tbl_budget INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tbl_categories ON dbo.tbl_budget.fld_categorycode = dbo.tbl_categories.fld_categorycode INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tbl_subcategories ON dbo.tbl_budget.fld_subcategorycode = dbo.tbl_subcategories.fld_subcategorycode INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tbl_codes ON dbo.tbl_budget.fld_code = dbo.tbl_codes.fld_code INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tbl_entities ON dbo.tbl_codes.fld_entitycode = dbo.tbl_entities.fld_entitycode

The result i get is as follows:
Entity    Year              Category               Subcategory    Purpose      Total

IGB        20072008      Hardware              Others              Exp               9000.0
IGB        20072008      Office Equipment   Others              Exp             1000.0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Laptop              Ren             2000.0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Desktop            Ren             4000.0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Laptop              Prj                 4000.0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Laptop              Prj                 4000.0

I need to modify the SQL statement, so that instead of one field as "purpose" and another field as "total", i have three fields as "total_exp", "total_ren" and "total_prj" So basically, i want a total field that's based on a criteria of another field in the same table. So my final query will look like this:

Entity    Year              Category               Subcategory    Total_Exp     Total_Ren     Total_Prj

IGB        20072008      Hardware              Others              9000.0          0                   0
IGB        20072008      Office Equipment   Others              1000.0          0                   0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Laptop              0                  2000.0           0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Desktop            0                  4000.0           0
IGB        20072008      Hardware              Laptop              Prj                 8000.0Start Free Trial
