Hello
I am trying to exclude from my query rows where Code is either 'GST', 'TAX', 'COMM' and
rows where Ty is 'A' and 'C' but only where it is also Cr Ind = 'C'
This is what I have but I know it is not quite right. Can anyone shed light on what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
SELECT [Emp Number], SUM(Amount) FROM [" & PayrollSheetName & "$] " & _
" WHERE Code NOT IN ('GST','TAX', 'COMM') " & _
" AND (Ty NOT IN ('A','C') AND [Cr Ind] = 'C') " & _
" GROUP BY [Emp Number] "
Thanks Brian

Try this:

WHERE

Code NOT IN ('GST','TAX', 'COMM')

AND NOT (Ty IN ('A','C') AND [Cr Ind] = 'C'))

SELECT [Emp Number], SUM(Amount) FROM [" & PayrollSheetName & "$] " & _

" WHERE Code NOT IN ('GST','TAX', 'COMM') AND Ty NOT IN ('A','C') AND [Cr Ind] = 'C')

" GROUP BY [Emp Number] "

will try this.
