asked on

where field B is duplicated and field K is not null (SQL)

I don't even know if this is possible in SQL.
Some records have a duplicate value in Column B (2 records).  One of the records will also have a value in Column K.  I don't want to see these records.

It this possible?

better post sample data and identify which records you don't want to see.

attached is some sample data.
as you'll notice the second field (Account) is the same for the last two records.  However only the second last record has a comment of "PRIMARY PIN SAME AS SPOUSE PIN".  This record I don't want to see.

Note that another record also has "PRIMARY PIN SAME AS SPOUSE PIN" as a comment, but the ACCOUNT is not duplicated, therefore I would still like to see this record.

Open in new window

If you paste the above sample in Excel as TEXT it will delimit properly into each column.

select *
from tableX
where [Account ID] not in(select [Account ID] from TableX as A where tableX.[Spouse PIN] <>null)
for some reason that always returns no records.
if I use In instead of Not In (without checking Column K), I get all the records as expected.  If the subquery is just  Not In (select [Account ID] from temp as A) .. it still doesn't return anything.

post the sql of the query you are using
