Display Employee in or out in the Status Column

  • I need to create a view to display employee id and time in/out status. My view should look like this since i see that employee has not time out (refer to second row). I wrote sql but it's not giving me this result.

    emp id clocking Status

    12 in

    Data

    id c_date time_in time_out

    12 2009-01-07 2009-01-07 06:21:42.000 2009-01-07 12:04:22.000

    12 2009-01-07 2009-01-07 12:51:57.000 NULL

    = = = broken sql = = =

    SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.emp_id, MAX(dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.clocking_date) AS Clocking_Dt,

    MAX(DISTINCT dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.time_in) AS [in], MIN(DISTINCT dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.time_out) AS out

    FROM dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS INNER JOIN

    dbo.EMPLOYEES ON dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.emp_id = dbo.EMPLOYEES.emp_id

    WHERE (dbo.EMPLOYEES.active = 1)

    GROUP BY dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.emp_id

    HAVING (dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.emp_id = 12)

    ORDER BY dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS.emp_id

  • This seems to be doing but need more testing.

    SELECT cd.emp_id, MIN(CASE WHEN (cd.time_out IS NULL) THEN 'in' ELSE 'out' END) AS cStatus

    FROM dbo.CLOCKING_DETAILS AS cd INNER JOIN

    dbo.EMPLOYEES AS e ON cd.emp_id = e.emp_id

    WHERE (e.active = 1)

    GROUP BY cd.emp_id

  • Hello,

    You may be able to simplify your query a little. Would it be true to say an Employee is “In” if they have a record in the CLOCKING_DETAILS Table with a Null value in the time_out Column, otherwise they are “Out”?

  • Hi John

    Didn't compare the time-stamps. Just thought that Lowell's post might be the answer (I didn't validate it). It was an information for you and others.
