If then else statement
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a SQL select statement look in a tbl and pull out pay information for an individual. But my problem lies in this the pay tables only go to certian yrs so that an E4-6 makes no more than an E4-8. So the cut of would be an person with rank E-4 and over 6 years makes this scale. so on for rest of the pay scale as well. Here is my code so far.
I select the GRYRs from an existing label that is populated with a persons info. I then do an sql statemnt to look up the scale such as E5-6, E4-6 so on. Then depending on what comes back it does the calcs. But my problem is above it returns nothing if there is an E4-8 because on the pay scale it does not exist for anything over adn E4-6 because they max out at 6 years.
Private Sub Calc()
Dim GrYrs As String = lblPayGrYrs.Text
sql = "select strBase, strQtrs, strRats, strMisc, strFDWH from MNSadPaytables.dbo.tblMnSa dDutyPay Where strGrdYrs = '" & GrYrs & "'"
myDataTable = New DataTable
myDataTable = getData(sql)
lblstrbase.Text = myDataTable.Rows(0)(0)
lblstrqtrs.Text = myDataTable.Rows(0)(1)
lblstrRats.Text = myDataTable.Rows(0)(2)
lblstrmisc.Text = myDataTable.Rows(0)(3)
lblstrFWTH.Text = myDataTable.Rows(0)(4)
Dim Days As String = lblDutyDays.Text
Dim base As Decimal = lblstrbase.Text
Dim Diff As Decimal = lblstrmisc.Text
Dim Qtrs As Decimal = lblstrqtrs.Text
Dim Rats As Decimal = lblstrRats.Text
Dim FedT As Decimal = lblstrFWTH.Text
Dim total As Decimal
Dim Grand As Decimal
Dim TaxTotal As Decimal
Dim TotalCheck As Decimal
total = base + Qtrs + Rats
TaxTotal = FedT * Days
If total < 130.0 Then
Grand = (total + Diff) * Days
Else
Grand = total * Days
End If
TotalCheck = Grand - TaxTotal
lblTotalEntitlement.Text = Grand.ToString("c")
lblBasePay.Text = base.ToString("c")
lblDiffPay.Text = Diff.ToString("c")
lblHouseAllow.Text = Qtrs.ToString("c")
lblRations.Text = Rats.ToString("c")
lblFTWH.Text = FedT.ToString("c")
lblTotalWH.Text = TaxTotal.ToString("c")
lblTotalCheck.Text = TotalCheck.ToString("c")
End Sub

I might recommend a change to your datatables, to keep grade and seniority separate. Then we could get the max seniority for each grade and use it instead of the submitted value.
Also, piece of cake to add more complex logic if you're using SQL Server, but tougher with Access. Slightly different syntax, so if you could let me know which you're using, I can help better.

All,
Currently we import all information into SQL 200 databases with wich the paygrade and yrs are combined as such E4-6. They won't change how they do theri spreadsheet and I don't know how to write import stored procedures. SO i am stuck with just tyring to match what they have. Unless there is an easier way.

Okay.... so we might have to work around this a bit.
Is the format always "grade-seniority"?

Well, that would be the problem then, because this is for every rank. I think at theis point I am going to have them list in the excel spreadsheet every rank and year, this way it makes my job easier.
well... the code above will work... unless you allow more than 10 years at a given rank...
The "tweaking" would only be because I didn't spin up a dummy database to test the syntax against... but it should be right

OK, i will give it a try, would I have to make one of these for every rank.
doesn't strGrdYrs contain the rank as part of it?
ASKER
Yes it does, ok, I see
yeah... a little devious is stripping out the rank there and using it as the filter for the MAX subquery :)
if GrYrs = something
sql = "select strBase, strQtrs, strRats, strMisc, strFDWH from MNSadPaytables.dbo.tblMnSa
else if GrYrs = somethingelse
sql = "select strBase, strQtrs, strRats, strMisc, strFDWH from MNSadPaytables.dbo.tblMnSa
else if GrYrs = another ..........
or a switch/case statment for the different variations of GrYrs posibly
