No Result on the Query

  • Hi,

    I have been working on a query and failed to get it working after a full day.

    I am not sure where I am going wrong and why am I not getting any data?

    could please someone help as I am very new to SQL.

    Thanks,

    "

    SELECT CustomerAccount.AccountNumber, view_SalesForecast.CompanyName, SUM(view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue) AS Invoiced,

    Sum( view_salesorderline.SellingPrice / view_Salesorder.ExchangeRate * (view_Salesorderline.OrderQuantity - view_SalesOrderLine .InvoicedQuantity)) as OnOrder,

    SUM(view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue) AS Forecast2016

    FROM view_SalesForecast INNER JOIN

    view_SalesForecastLine ON view_SalesForecast.SalesForecastID = view_SalesForecastLine.SalesForecastID

    INNER JOIN CustomerAccount ON view_SalesForecast.CustomerAccountID = CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID

    INNER JOIN view_SalesStatistics ON CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID = view_SalesStatistics.CustomerAccountID INNER JOIN view_SalesOrder ON CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID = view_SalesOrder.CustomerAccountID

    Inner join view_SalesOrderLine On view_SalesOrder.salesorderid = view_SalesOrderLine.SalesOrderID

    WHERE

    (view_SalesForecast.Closed = '0' AND view_salesorder.Closed = '0')

    AND (view_SalesForecast.PeriodStart >= '1/1/2016') AND (view_SalesForecast.PeriodEnd <= '12/31/2016') AND (view_SalesStatistics.TransactionDate = '1/1/2016')

    GROUP BY view_SalesForecast.CompanyName, view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue, CustomerAccount.AccountNumber"

  • This is difficult, because we don't know what your data looks like. But first of all, here is your query again, reformatted for readability:

    SELECT CustomerAccount.AccountNumber

    , view_SalesForecast.CompanyName

    , SUM(view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue) AS Invoiced

    , SUM(view_salesorderline.SellingPrice / view_Salesorder.ExchangeRate * (view_salesorderline.OrderQuantity

    - view_salesorderline.InvoicedQuantity)) AS OnOrder

    , SUM(view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue) AS Forecast2016

    FROM view_SalesForecast

    INNER JOIN view_SalesForecastLine ON view_SalesForecast.SalesForecastID = view_SalesForecastLine.SalesForecastID

    INNER JOIN CustomerAccount ON view_SalesForecast.CustomerAccountID = CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID

    INNER JOIN view_SalesStatistics ON CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID = view_SalesStatistics.CustomerAccountID

    INNER JOIN view_SalesOrder ON CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID = view_Salesorder.CustomerAccountID

    INNER JOIN view_SalesOrderLine ON view_Salesorder.salesorderid = view_salesorderline.SalesOrderID

    WHERE (

    view_SalesForecast.Closed = '0'

    AND view_Salesorder.Closed = '0'

    )

    AND (view_SalesForecast.PeriodStart >= '1/1/2016')

    AND (view_SalesForecast.PeriodEnd <= '12/31/2016')

    AND (view_SalesStatistics.TransactionDate = '1/1/2016')

    GROUP BY view_SalesForecast.CompanyName

    , view_SalesForecastLine.ForecastValue

    , CustomerAccount.AccountNumber;

    The first thing I would check is the data type of column 'view_SalesStatistics.TransactionDate'. If it is a datetime rather than a date, try this instead:

    AND (cast(view_SalesStatistics.TransactionDate as date) = '20160101')

    Note that I have used the universal 'YYYYMMDD' date format to reduce any possible ambiguity.

    I would also check whether 'view_SalesForecast.PeriodEnd' is a datetime or a date. If it's a datetime, you need to refine your selection so that dates on 31 Dec 2016, after midnight, are included.

  • Periodend and period start are datetime as well and I have changed as you suggested earlier

    AND (cast(view_SalesForecast.PeriodStart as date) >= '20160101')

    AND (cast(view_SalesForecast.PeriodEnd as date ) <= '20161231')

    AND (cast(view_SalesStatistics.TransactionDate as date) = '20160101')

    Query run but (0 row(s) affected)

  • OK. Next step is to remove the WHERE conditions one by one and rerun. Hopefully, removing one of the conditions will make rows appear ... then we can focus troubleshooting on that.
