Select Query Joined on Two Fields?
- by btollett
I've got a few tables in an access database:
ID | LocationName
1 | Location1
2 | Location2
ID | LocationID | Date | NumProductsDelivered
1 | 1 | 12/10 | 3
2 | 1 | 01/11 | 2
3 | 1 | 02/11 | 2
4 | 2 | 11/10 | 1
5 | 2 | 12/10 | 1
ID | LocationID | Date | NumEmployees | EmployeeType
1 | 1 | 12/10 | 10 | 1 (=Permanent)
2 | 1 | 12/10 | 3 | 2 (=Temporary)
3 | 1 | 12/10 | 1 | 3 (=Support)
4 | 2 | 10/10 | 1 | 1
5 | 2 | 11/10 | 2 | 1
6 | 2 | 11/10 | 1 | 2
7 | 2 | 11/10 | 1 | 3
8 | 2 | 12/10 | 2 | 1
9 | 2 | 12/10 | 1 | 3
What I want to do is pass in the LocationID as a parameter and get back something like the following table. So, if I pass in 2 as my LocationID, I should get:
Date | NumProductsDelivered | NumPermanentEmployees | NumSupportEmployees
10/10 | | 1 |
11/10 | 1 | 2 | 1
12/10 | 1 | 2 | 1
It seems like this should be a pretty simple query. I really don't even need the first table except as a way to fill in the combo box on the form from which the user chooses which location they want a report for. Unfortunately, everything I've done has resulted in me getting a lot more data than I should be getting. My confusion is in how to set up the join (presumably that's what I'm looking for here) given that I want both the date and locationID to be the same for each row in the result set.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
