Duplpicate rows appearing

  • We have a query that pulls employees and products per project. Right now, we have only 2 employees and 6 products for this 1 project.

    Here is what the output looks like currently

    This is what we are trying to get the result to be,

  • What criteria are you using to generate the desired result set? It looks like it doesn't include employee no on every row.

  • My wild guess is that you're missing some join criteria in your query. It's impossible to know without complete information.

    Another option is that employees and products are completely unrelated. You might need to create an artificial key to join them or simply concatenate the values to show them in a single row.

    Please read the articles linked in my signature for further help.

  • We really need to see the query you are using to create the results you are getting. You could be using a join wrong, or the wrong type of join, or something else. We just can't tell by the results alone.

  • Below is the query used to generate these results.

    SELECT

    p.proj_no,

    p.proj_status,

    p.proj_bill_with_parent,

    p.proj_desc,

    pbt.emp_no + ' ' + rtrim(e.emp_first_name) + ' ' + e.emp_last_name as 'Emp#/Description',

    pm.prod_no + ' ' + prod.product_desc as 'Prod#/Description'

    FROM dbo.project p

    JOIN dbo.proj_monthly pm ON p.proj_no = pm.proj_no

    join project_budget_time pbt on p.proj_no = pbt.proj_no

    JOIN dbo.employee e on pbt.emp_no = e.emp_no

    join dbo.product prod on pm.prod_no = prod.product_no

    where p.proj_status = 'O' and p.proj_type NOT IN ('I','D','5','9') AND p.business_segment_code <> '98' and p.proj_no = '1600054001'

    group BY p.proj_no,p.proj_status,p.proj_bill_with_parent,p.proj_desc,pbt.emp_no,e.emp_first_name,e.emp_last_name,pm.prod_no,prod.product_desc

  • As I figured, you're employees and products are unrelated, but somehow you want them both on the same data set. As you're trying to describe projects, maybe a single row per project would be adequate.

    As long as you're not viewing this in the SSMS grid, and you're using a true reporting tool, this might work.

    SELECT

    p.proj_no,

    p.proj_status,

    p.proj_bill_with_parent,

    p.proj_desc,

    STUFF(( SELECT CHAR(10) + pbt.emp_no + ' ' + rtrim(e.emp_first_name) + ' ' + e.emp_last_name

    FROM project_budget_time pbt

    JOIN dbo.employee e ON pbt.emp_no = e.emp_no

    WHERE p.proj_no = pbt.proj_no

    FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('./text()[1]', 'varchar(max)'), 1, 1, ''),

    STUFF(( SELECT CHAR(10) + pm.prod_no + ' ' + prod.product_desc

    FROM dbo.proj_monthly pm

    JOIN dbo.product prod ON pm.prod_no = prod.product_no

    WHERE p.proj_no = pm.proj_no

    FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('./text()[1]', 'varchar(max)'), 1, 1, '')

    FROM dbo.project p

    where p.proj_status = 'O'

    and p.proj_type NOT IN ('I','D','5','9')

    AND p.business_segment_code <> '98'

    and p.proj_no = '1600054001';

    It's using a technique described in here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/comma+separated+list/71700/

    Be sure to understand it and ask any questions you might have.

  • we would actually want to have multiple rows for this and not 1 row. Maybe a Union to load both the product and employee information into 1 column.
