Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue that I'm having. The problem is that I'm trying to format my query in the following format and get the data that I need.
A_ID A_TR_DATE A_REF_NOJRPJFS
---------------- ----------- ---- ----
152547*12/5/2011 J478 -350.00
155257*22/6/2011 J488 150.00
155257*33/2/2011 45-54 100.00
I only want to show sources such as a JR, PJ and FS where there is a JR value (whether its neg. or pos.) and the substring of the first 6 characters in A_ID match. So, in this particular case I should have 2 records for JR and 1 PJ record because they have matching accounts in the first 6 digits. Below is the some source code. Thanks.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[A_TABLE](
[A_ID] [varchar](40) NOT NULL,
[A_SOURCE] [varchar](10) NULL,
[A_REF_NO] [varchar](20) NULL,
[A_DEBIT] [decimal](13, 2) NULL,
[A_CREDIT] [decimal](13, 2) NULL,
[A_TR_DATE] [datetime] NULL
CONSTRAINT [PK_A_TABLE] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[A_ID] ASC
))
GO
INSERT INTO A_TABLE SELECT '205545*1','PJ','45-55',25.00,NULL,'03/01/2011' UNION
SELECT '152547*1','JR','J478',NULL,350.00,'02/05/2011' UNION
SELECT '152547*3','PJ','45-54',NULL,100.00,'03/02/2011' UNION
SELECT '815369*1','FS','F87-7',120.00,NULL,'02/06/2011' UNION
SELECT '152547*2','JR','J488',150.00,NULL,'02/06/2011'

I would start with normalizing your tables appropriately. That would make this a lot easier to do. This should get you what you need:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[A_TABLE](

[A_ID] [varchar](40) NOT NULL,

[A_SOURCE] [varchar](10) NULL,

[A_REF_NO] [varchar](20) NULL,

[A_DEBIT] [decimal](13, 2) NULL,

[A_CREDIT] [decimal](13, 2) NULL,

[A_TR_DATE] [datetime] NULL

CONSTRAINT [PK_A_TABLE] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[A_ID] ASC

))

GO

INSERT INTO A_TABLE SELECT '205545*1','PJ','45-55',25.00,NULL,'03/01/2011' UNION

SELECT '152547*1','JR','J478',NULL,350.00,'02/05/2011' UNION

SELECT '152547*3','PJ','45-54',NULL,100.00,'03/02/2011' UNION

SELECT '815369*1','FS','F87-7',120.00,NULL,'02/06/2011' UNION

SELECT '152547*2','JR','J488',150.00,NULL,'02/06/2011';

with JRValues as

(

SELECT left(A_ID,6) as A_ID

FROM A_TABLE

where A_SOURCE = 'JR')

select a.*

from A_Table a

where left(a.A_ID,6) in (

select A_ID from JRValues)

Thanks for the solution. However, I was wondering is there a way that I can get the data to where the SOURCE shows up as a column and have their values under them?

For example

A_ID A_SOURCE A_REF_NO JR PJ FS

Do you think a pivot table with due?

Building on Keith's solution:

WITHJRValues AS

(

SELECT LEFT(A_ID,6) AS A_ID

FROM A_TABLE

WHEREA_SOURCE = 'JR'

)

SELECTA_ID,

A_TR_DATE,

A_REF_NO,

CASE WHEN A_SOURCE = 'JR' THEN ISNULL(-a_debit,a_credit) ELSE NULL END AS 'JR',

CASE WHEN A_SOURCE = 'PJ' THEN ISNULL(-a_debit,a_credit) ELSE NULL END AS 'PJ',

CASE WHEN A_SOURCE = 'FS' THEN ISNULL(-a_debit,a_credit) ELSE NULL END AS 'FS'

FROMA_Table a

WHERELEFT (a.A_ID,6) IN (

SELECT A_ID FROM JRValues);

Thank you Mr. Watson for your query. That's what I needed.
