    Question SQL Query Help!!!!

    Ok here is my situation, I'm trying to do a Distict(claim_number count) and Group by Process_Date, but I also want to bring back additional colums such as Net, Billed, Allowed, Copay_Amt, IPA_Amt_To_Pay. The problem is that everytime I add the additonal columns to the query the Count(Distinct Claim_Number) no longer works ok here is the actually query and see if anyone of you guys can help.

    Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY process_Date
    ORDER BY Process_Date

    Remeber I want to also bring back "Net, Billed, Allowed, Copay_Amt, IPA_Amt_To_Pay" so that I can do some math calculations on these fields.

    You can use this query as a derived query and join it with dailyclaims table again to get other columns


    select a.claim_number,...
    from dailyclaims as a
    join (
    Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY process_Date
    ORDER BY Process_Date) as b
    on a.claim_number=b.claim_number and a.process_date=b.process_date

    Unhappy Got an Error

    I got the error below while trying to run:

    select a.claim_number,Net, Billed, Allowed, Copay_Amt, IPA_Amt_To_Pay
    from dailyclaims as a
    join (
    Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY process_Date
    ORDER BY Process_Date) as b
    on a.claim_number=b.claim_number and a.process_date=b.process_date

    Error:Server: Msg 1033, Level 15, State 1, Line 8
    The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, and subqueries, unless TOP is also specified.

    May try add 'top 100 percent' in select statement of derived table.

    Unhappy TOP 100 percent??????

    Sorry, I don't think I know what that is, can you provide some syntax, I'm new at this SQL Server thing.

    Like 'select top 100 percent * from table ...', check select syntax in sql books online.

    Put ORDER BY outside the derived view

    select a.claim_number,Net, Billed, Allowed, Copay_Amt, IPA_Amt_To_Pay
    from dailyclaims as a
    join (
    Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY process_Date) as b
    on a.claim_number=b.claim_number and a.process_date=b.process_date
    ORDER BY b.Process_Date

    I got the TOP 100 percent thing, but I don't get back any data

    select TOP 100 PERCENT *
    from dbo.dailyClaims AS a
    JOIN
    (Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY Process_Date) AS b
    ON a.Claim_Number=b.Claim_Number AND a.Process_Date=b.Process_Date
    ORDER BY b.Process_Date

    Check execution plan to see what did sql do for the query.

    Unhappy Don't know too much SQL syntax other than the basics That's why I'm asking the expert

    so once again my problem now is:

    I don't get back any data, I get all the column names but no data

    select TOP 100 PERCENT *
    from dbo.dailyClaims AS a
    JOIN
    (Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY Process_Date) AS b
    ON a.Claim_Number=b.Claim_Number AND a.Process_Date=b.Process_Date
    ORDER BY b.Process_Date

    This is what I previously had as a query but it also only gave me the column names but no data returned.

    select a.claim_number,a.Net, a.Billed, a.Allowed, a.Copay_Amt, a.IPA_Amt_To_Pay
    from dailyClaims as a
    join(
    Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dbo.dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY process_Date) as b
    on a.claim_number=b.claim_number and a.process_date=b.process_date
    ORDER BY b.Process_Date

    From query execution plan, you can find step by step of how sql processed your query and number of rows involved in each step. Therefore, figure out where is the problem.

    Unhappy Ok I can see it now

    ok the issue is wher is says "On a.Claim_Number = B.Claim_Number" if I remove this I get records but not count distinctively. Is this impossible to do or what.

    ok here is the answer guys:

    select * from
    (Select Count(Distinct Claim_number) AS Claim_Number, Process_Date
    FROM dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823'
    GROUP BY Process_Date) a,

    (select Claim_number,Net, Billed, Allowed, Copay_Amt, IPA_Amt_To_Pay,Process_Date 'b_Process_Date'
    from dailyClaims
    WHERE Process_Date BETWEEN '06/01/2005' AND '09/30/2005' AND IPA_ID = '823') b

    where Process_Date = b_Process_Date

    now this works correctly
