Left join with multiple conditions

ranibosch — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 08:05:54 GMT

Hi, would like to left join to a table with multiple conditions, but I have no idea how to write the script for that.

I have the following 3 tables:

1. BOM Lines:

BOM Lines.No_	BOM Lines.Production BOM No_	BOM Lines.Quantity	BOM Lines.Unit of Measure Code	BOM Lines.Version Code
MARSH001	6130663604	0,0176	KG	5
MARSH001	6130663604	0,059	KG
MARSH001	6130663604	0,059	KG	1
OATS015	6130663604	0,1381	KG	3
OATS015	6130663604	0,1558	KG	4
OATS015	6130663604	0,1618	KG	5

2. BOM Header:

Production BOM Header.BOM No	Production BOM Header.BOM UOM	Production BOM Header.Status
6130663604	CASE	2

3. BOM Version Header:

Production BOM Version.Production BOM No_	Production BOM Version.Status	Production BOM Version.Unit of Measure Code	Production BOM Version.Version Code
6130663604	3	CASE	1
6130663604	3	CASE	2
6130663604	1	CASE	3
6130663604	1	CASE	4
6130663604	0	CASE	5

I would like to join the BOM STATUS (yellow column) to the BOM LINES table.

I have the following conditions of which tables' status it must take (BOM HEADER / BOM VERSION HEADER):

a. If the VERSION CODE = BLANK in the BOM LINES TABLE. Then join the Status column from the BOM HEADER table.

b. if the VERSION CODE is not BLANK, then look for the status in the BOM VERSION HEADER table.

THE BOM NO & VERSION CODE MUST MATCH between the BOM LINES table & BOM VERSION HEADER table.

I hope that makes sense and that I can get a solution.

Thanks in advance!

hello

you have to create key : status + version and join on this key

and create in table header a row with blank version

the question is ; which data do you have to put in this row

Thanks, can you have a look as to why my script does not want to left join the the BOM LINES table?

at 1st sight, that's seems ok

do you have correct results when No and Version have values ?

I get the correct results when I do not left join the BOM HEADERS to the BOM LINES.(when i keep it as a seperate table)

Then I have the 2 tables, with primary key called BOM KEY.

as soon as I try to LEFT JOIN to the BOM LINES, the BOM UOM & STATUS fields disappear.

that means you left join isn't successful

try to see if the fields contains the right values (ie no spaces somewhere, same length, ...)

Could you try the below script which as same as what you have implemented with little adjustments.

first creation of key in BOM lines table

when the version code is blank replacing all the code with NA .Also as you want status from BOM header only when the version code is blank so iassigned NA to all the BOMNO in BOM header Table

Status,

//create key in order to link the bom header table to the BOM lines table

left Join [BOM Lines]:

DROP Table [TEMP BOM HEADERS];

Hope this helps.
