Sort multiple query results

O

Opal

I have a query based on 3 separate tables. The query calculates
inventory results for 13 Die sets. One table holds the total pallets
counted. The second table provides the number of panels per pallet
and the third table provides the shift usage of each part. The query
provides 13 calculated results, i.e. (DieSet47 * Pallet47)/
ShiftUsage47 = and (DieSet43*Pallet43)/ShiftUsage47 and so on....
These results tell us which Die Set needs to be run first -- i.e the
results tell us which part we will run out of first if we don't set it
up to run. I need to be able to sort these 13 results from lowest to
highest number.

Is there a way to accomplish this in a query that I can then run a
report off of? Is there a better way to run this query?

You can order by on computed expressions (don't use the alias, but the
expression itself) such as:

ORDER BY (DieSet47 * Pallet47)/ ShiftUsage47,
(DieSet43*Pallet43)/ShiftUsage47


Note that order by is about ordering the records between themselves, not the
fields.

Alternatively, use the ordinal position of the column in the SELECT
clause e.g.

ORDER BY 1;

to order on the first column etc.

So, should I take the results from my inventory query and store them
in a table and then
run a query off of that table with the "ORDER BY" clause?

If you want to order the rows, you can add the ORDER BY to your original
'inventory query'.

If you want to order the values from 2 fields, the highest values under f1,
the second under f2, you can use a simple iif:

SELECT ... , iif( value1 > value2, value1, value2 ) AS f1,
iif( value1>value2, value2, value1) AS f2
FROM ...


but if you have more than 2 values to place horizontally, it could be easier
to normalize the data into a temp table, rank the values, per 'group', then,
use a crosstab for the final presentation.

If I sort all the records as "Ascending" and look at the SQL view of
this query, I get the following:

SELECT [1AInventoryTable].txtDate, [1AInventoryTable].txtTime,
[1AInventoryTable].txtShift, ([DS47]*[PLT47])/[ADC47] AS TInv47,
([DS43]*[PLT43])/[ADC43] AS TInv43, ([DS5]*[PLT5])/[ADC5] AS TInv5,
([DS4]*[PLT4])/[ADC4] AS TInv4, ([DS6]*[PLT6])/[ADC6] AS TInv6,
([DS37]*[PLT37])/[ADC37] AS TInv37, ([DS38]*[PLT38])/[ADC38] AS
TInv38, ([DS39]*[PLT39])/[ADC39] AS TInv39, ([DS40]*[PLT40])/[ADC40]
AS TInv40, ([DS57]*[PLT57])/[ADC57] AS TInv57, ([DS59]*[PLT59])/
[ADC59] AS TInv59, ([DS64]*[PLT64])/[ADC64] AS TInv64,
([DS41]*[PLT41])/[ADC41] AS TInv41
FROM 1AInventoryTable, 1APalletTable, 1AShiftUsage
ORDER BY ([DS47]*[PLT47])/[ADC47], ([DS43]*[PLT43])/[ADC43],
([DS5]*[PLT5])/[ADC5], ([DS4]*[PLT4])/[ADC4], ([DS6]*[PLT6])/[ADC6],
([DS37]*[PLT37])/[ADC37], ([DS38]*[PLT38])/[ADC38], ([DS39]*[PLT39])/
[ADC39], ([DS40]*[PLT40])/[ADC40], ([DS57]*[PLT57])/[ADC57],
([DS59]*[PLT59])/[ADC59], ([DS64]*[PLT64])/[ADC64], ([DS41]*[PLT41])/
[ADC41];


Which is what I think Michael suggested, but unfortunately not what I
wanted. I need to be able to sort the fields (i.e. the indivdual
query results one row of data) in order. So for example, the
calculated result of (DieSet47 * Pallet47)/ ShiftUsage47 =
TotalInventory47 and (DieSet43*Pallet43)/ShiftUsage43 =
TotalInventory43 and so on..... I need to sort:
TInv47, TInv43, TInv5, TInv6......and so on from the lowest value to
the highest. Similar to the "=SMALL" function in
Excel where the results of the calculated field i.e. 0.13; 1.1; 2.7;
0.01; 2.3 are sorted as 0.01; 0.13; 1.1; 2.3; 2.7
Does this explain it better?

If you want to order the values from 2 fields, the highest values under f1,
the second under f2, you can use a simple iif:

SELECT ... , iif( value1 > value2, value1, value2 ) AS f1,
iif( value1>value2, value2, value1) AS f2
FROM ...

MIchael,

I'm sorry....I'm confused. I converted the original SELECT query to a
Make Table query
and created a table with the data from the inventory query - was this
what you meant
by "normalize"? In creating the cross tab query, I used each
inventory field as a row
heading.....but that just creates the same information I already
had.....I still need to
sort each inventory field from lowest result value to
highest.....perhaps I need to look
at this whole thing from another approach?

I removed the last UNION ALL and shortened the ORDER BY (why 5 in the
resultset?)
and I still get the same error message.....?

One more thing....my "calc_result" calculates to 7 decimal places. I
have gone back to the source tables and set each to 2 decimal places
and I still get 7 decimal places in my calculated result. I have
created a report based on the query and formatted the text boxes to 2
decimal places and I still get 7 decimal places. How can I get this
"calc_result" formatted to only 2 decimal places?

Jamie,

Can I still add parameters to this query? For Example I want to be
able to select the shift and I want the date of the query to be the
current date?

I can't see why not e.g. this example using Northwind (ANSI-92 Query
Mode syntax):

CREATE PROCEDURE GetOrderDates
(
arg_latest_date DATETIME = NULL
)
AS
SELECT DT1.OrderID, DT1.date_type, DT1.date_value
FROM
(
SELECT OrderID, 'OrderDate' AS date_type, OrderDate AS date_value
FROM Orders
UNION ALL
SELECT OrderID, 'RequiredDate' AS date_type, RequiredDate AS
date_value
FROM Orders
UNION ALL
SELECT OrderID, 'ShippedDate' AS date_type, ShippedDate AS
date_value
FROM Orders
) AS DT1
WHERE DT1.date_value <= IIF(arg_latest_date IS NULL, DT1.date_value,
arg_latest_date)
ORDER BY 3, 1, 2;
