Filtering Data

Hi All,

I have created a query that pulls from multiple tables, to give me
information about drill holes (I work in the mining industry). Sorry, if
this is confusing, I am not sure how to word it easily.

When we drill a hole, the drill records it as TYPE=2. If the hole collapses
and they have to redrill the same hole, it is TYPE=3.

So, when I generate a report I will get something like this
101=2
102=2
102=3
103=2
103=3
103=3
104=2

So, hole 101 is fine. Hole 102 was drilled, it collapsed and was redrill
successfully. Hole 103 Collapsed twice and then was drilled successfully,
hole 104 is fine.

I don't care about the unsucessful holes, I only want my report to show the
sucessful holes. How would I go about doing this? This is what I want in
my report
101=2
102=3
103=3
104=2

Thanks
Chad

Try

SELECT [qryReport].[Hole], Max([qryReport].[Type]) AS MaxOfType FROM
qryReport GROUP BY [qryReport].[Hole]

I've assumed your using a saved query for your report called qryReport that
has fields Hole and Type. So create another query, switch to SQL view and
Paste in the above. You may be able to combine both queries as one.

Thanks Jon,

I tried your method and it didn't work. I have included the SQL code with
your suggestion, maybe I typed something wrong.

Thanks again
Chad

I narrowed it down. I have a table that defines 1,2,3,4,5 types as a string
1-unknown, 2-drilled, 3-redrilled, etc.

When I include this text entity, is shows me all the types per hole, if I
remove it, it only shows me the max. I need this text to define what each
hole is. In my report no one will understand what 3 means on the report,
but they will understand 'redrill'.

Any ideas?

It appears to be deeper than that.

Each time a hole is drilled, I get the Northing, Easting, Elevation, Type,
Status. Since these are different for each hole, I am guessing the Max
function isn't working because it is considered a different entity. If I
remove the northing, easting, elevation, status, the max function works fine
on the type field. So now I need a way to give priority to the Name, then
to Type. Have the max on Type and then if any other data is different to
ignore it.

Is this possible?
