structure columns in query

I have a query that uses a union to get the results that I need, but I am having problems understanding how I need to change my query to be able to format the same results in a more readable manner. I am ending with a larger number of columns that I actually need.

The query is simple, I think the complexity comes in how it needs to be structured. May be I need to use CASE statements? I am not sure but any help would be appreciated.

My query:

SELECT 
	sl.No_ [ItemNumber]	
,   sl.Description
,   sl.[Document No_] [SalesOrderNumber]
,   sl.[Location Code] [LocationCode]
,   sl.[Shipment Date] [ShipmentDate]
,   sl.[Sell-to Customer No_] [CustomerNumber]
,   sl.Quantity [OrderQty]
,   cus.Name [CustomerName]
,   0  [FirmedPlannedQty]
,   '' [FirmedPlannedDueDate]
,   '' [FirmedPlannedNumber]
,   '' [FirmedPlannedLocation]
FROM
	dbo.[CQC$Sales Line] sl INNER JOIN
    dbo.[CQC$Customer] cus ON cus.No_ = sl.[Sell-to Customer No_]
WHERE
    sl.No_ = '10568'
AND
    sl.[Document Type] IN ('1')
AND
    sl.Quantity = sl.[Outstanding Quantity]
UNION
SELECT 
	'' [ItemNumber]	
,   '' [Description]
,   '' [SalesOrderNumber]
,   '' [LocationCode]
,   '' [ShipmentDate]
,   '' [CustomerNumber]
,   0  [OrderQty]
,   '' [CustomerName]
,	pol.Quantity [FirmedPlannedQty]
,   pol.[Due Date] [FirmedPlannedDueDate]
,   pol.[Prod_ Order No_] [FirmedPlannedNumber]
,   pol.[Location Code] [FirmedPlannedLocation]
FROM 
	dbo.[CQC$Prod_ Order Line] pol
WHERE	
	[Item No_] = '10568'	
AND 
	Status = 2
AND 
	[Variant Code] <> 'R'
ORDER BY 
	ShipmentDate asc
,	FirmedPlannedDueDate asc

Open in new window



the results:

Thank you very much for your help.

Don't know if that what you need or not but you can give it a try

SELECT 
	sl.No_ [ItemNumber]	
,   sl.Description
,   sl.[Document No_] [Document No]
,   sl.[Location Code] [Location]
,   '' [DueDate]
,   sl.[Shipment Date] [ShipmentDate]
,   sl.[Sell-to Customer No_] [CustomerNumber]
,   cus.Name [CustomerName]
,   sl.Quantity [Quantity]



FROM
	dbo.[CQC$Sales Line] sl INNER JOIN
    dbo.[CQC$Customer] cus ON cus.No_ = sl.[Sell-to Customer No_]
WHERE
    sl.No_ = '10568'
AND
    sl.[Document Type] IN ('1')
AND
    sl.Quantity = sl.[Outstanding Quantity]
UNION
SELECT 
	'' [ItemNumber]	
,   '' [Description]
,   pol.[Prod_ Order No_] [Document No]
,   pol.[Location Code] [Location]
,   pol.[Due Date] [DueDate]
,   '' [ShipmentDate]
,   '' [CustomerNumber]
,   '' [CustomerName]
,	pol.Quantity [Quantity]


FROM 
	dbo.[CQC$Prod_ Order Line] pol
WHERE	
	[Item No_] = '10568'	
AND 
	Status = 2
AND 
	[Variant Code] <> 'R'
ORDER BY 
	ShipmentDate asc
,	FirmedPlannedDueDate asc

do you think this change will that give me the output sort of what the last screen shot looks like?

if you attach SQL script to create the tables with data I can help you to get closer to what you want

It is better to use crystal reports or ssrs for such layouts but if you only want to to use sql for the job then one of the solutions is as follows

I have a question regarding your code example. I see that you use a variable for ItemNumber. What if I don't need to specify an Item Number? What if I need to retrieve all Items? Should I just remove the variable and the WHERE clasues?


Thank you for your example, it is awesome.
RehanYousaf
Nope, removing where clause will have different effect, what you need to do is use while loop with the two inserts

@RehanYousaf, thank you again for your help. Your query results are impeccable.

I would like to understand something. I noticed that due to the need for data for you to show me how the query works, you are using hard coded values and the multipe INSERT statements.

How would the query change, in which places, to make it data driven instead that using hard coded values? Do I just remove the INSERT statements and replace them with the SELECT statements from my  original query posted at the top of this question?

I am not sure how to make this change, if you could offer some guidance, that would be kind.

Thank you very much.

Hi again RehanYousaf,

Sorry I have been busy with other tasks and just today I am able to get back to this work.
While removing some of your code and starting to use my actual views, I came up to this question, what abou parts such as:

SELECT 
	*,
	ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ItemNumber) AS 'RowNo'
INTO
	#Product
FROM
	@Product
	
SET @x = 1
SELECT 
	@y = COUNT(*)
FROM
	@Product

Open in new window


Do I still need these parts?

@RehanYousaf,

I think I was somehow able to modify the script you wrote. Unfortunately I am still struggling to make it work.

When an Item Number is contained in multiple orders, lets say 5 orders (numbers prefixed SB), I get duplicate results, based on the number of orders, in the screen shot example, this is five times.

Do you know any recommendation on how to work this issue out?  And, how would I be able to avoid displaying dates that are zeroes and interpreted by SQL server as 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000?

I have attached the revised query and a screen shot of the results after the modifications.

duplicate results
Thank you very much for your help and patience.

Hi Metropia,

Do you have a seperate table where you store all item details?

Try the following script

Hi,

The Item details come from the view [nav].[vStd_SalesLineWithCustomerName]

I tried your new script but I see the same results

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I see no changes after the second time you posted the latest script.

here is another item to illustrate the point:

item 10264 contains two order numbers (order numbers are the ones that start with SB)
and the same results is shown two times, as per each order that there is. That is my assumption.

how can i make sure to display blanks instead that the 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 date?
I am not sure how to do this.

@RehanYousaf,

Thank you very much for your help on this query. I truly appreciate and value the help I have received from you. It has been a lifesaver.

I need to add another thing to the result. I have that query ready, but this question is getting super long, and I have gotten the answer I was originally looking for already.

I will open a new question, and post the link to that question here. Hopefully I will be lucky and get your help again, it should not be too cumbersome.


At any rate, thank you very much for your kind help and instruction.

@RehanYousaf,

I think I spoke too soon, I am seeing duplicates in the results again :/

duplicates
I am using the script at the one I uploaded on comment id  38755345
metropia
ASKER
Seems like this Item Number is entered twice in the database and assigned to two different but at the same time similar items

10559      WILTON WHITE 1911-919x WAFER   < the only difference is the 'x'
10559      WILTON WHITE 1911-919 WAFER


when I look at the results outside your code, I see this:

item 10559

There is only one order to 10559      WILTON WHITE 1911-919x WAFER

Would this be throwing your code off? Is there a way to work around it? I see this same case happening to another item in the database.

thank you.

I just verified, and the x next to the description, is not an error. It supposed to be there
metropia

the problem is on this part I think,

;WITH cteSalesLineItem 
AS (
	SELECT DISTINCT
		 [ItemNumber]
		,[Description]
	FROM
		[nav].[vStd_SalesLineWithCustomerName]
)
SELECT 
	 *
	,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ItemNumber) AS 'RowNo'
INTO
	#SalesLineItem
FROM
	cteSalesLineItem

Open in new window



the description column is the problem. how could i retrieve the description although different but with same item number. i just care for the description that does not contain the 'x'
RehanYousaf
Try this to remove duplicates

;WITH cteSalesLineItem 
AS (
	SELECT 
		 [ItemNumber]
		,MIN([Description]) AS [Description]
	FROM
		[nav].[vStd_SalesLineWithCustomerName]
	GROUP BY
		[ItemNumber]
)
SELECT 
	 *
	,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ItemNumber) AS 'RowNo'
INTO
	#SalesLineItem
FROM
	cteSalesLineItem

Open in new window

you can also try
MAX([Description]) AS [Description]
whichever suits you

as for the new question ... i will try to look at it tomorrow
