Left Join Group By in Script

Hi Everyone,

I am working on making two different counts in my script so that I can find percent of utilization for each product. I was thinking that I could simply do a LEFT JOIN, followed by a GROUP BY.

The problem is that unless I have the same criteria in the table GROUP BY both tables, it doesn't work. Below is the script and attached is the file. Any advice is very appreciated.

starttbl:

LOAD

Date,

Dept,

Unit,

Count

FROM

LeftJoin.xls (biff, embedded labels, table is [Sheet1$]);

Reload:

Load

weekstart(Date) AS Week,

Dept,

Unit,

Sum(Count) AS Cnt2

RESIDENT

starttbl

GROUP BY

Dept, Unit, weekstart(Date);

LEFT JOIN (Reload)

LOAD

weekstart(Date) AS Week,

Dept,

Unit,

Sum(Count) AS Cnt

RESIDENT

starttbl

GROUP BY

Unit, weekstart(Date);

DROP TABLE starttbl;

if you want to group by unit and weekstart(date)  then remove the Dept in the left join load field & group by below is the script to achieve it


LEFT JOIN (Reload)

LOAD

weekstart(Date) AS Week,

Unit,

Sum(Count) AS Cnt

RESIDENT

starttbl

GROUP BY

Unit, weekstart(Date);

RESIDENT

you are missing Dept in the left join grp by

LEFT JOIN (Reload)

LOAD

weekstart(Date) AS Week,

Dept,

Unit,

Sum(Count) AS Cnt

RESIDENT

starttbl

GROUP BY

Unit, dept, weekstart(Date);

Manoranjan,

I am looking to have two different counts. One count grouped by unit, weekstart(date) and the other by Dept, Unit, weekstart(date).


Does it have to be grouped like you mentioned?


Thank You.
