Summing with different GL Accounts into one row

  • Hello,

    I am trying to sum by GL Account Description when I run the query I do get sum, but broken out by Gl Account Number '023300150115' etc. For example I will have the following GL Account number '023300150115', '023300050115', '041000150115', but what I really want to see is the total of the three GL Account Numbers in GL Account Description - Salaries. I may have from January - March each account will have it's own amount and period.

    023300150115 5000 Salaries

    023300050115 2000 Salaries

    041000150115 6000 Salaries

    What I really want to see is 13000 for the amount and Salaries all in one line. Below is my code.

    If anybody and help I would really appreciate. Than you in advance

    SELECT RTRIM(OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC) AS "GL Account", CASE WHEN RTRIM(GMGLAC) = '041000054600' THEN 'Royalty/Brand Fees' WHEN RTRIM(GMGLAC)

    '051000050108', '081000050108') THEN 'Salaries ' END AS "GL Description", CASE WHEN RTRIM(GMGLAC) = '041000054600' THEN 10 WHEN RTRIM(GMGLAC)

    FROM OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST, OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET

    WHERE OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMIACN = OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTIACN

    GROUP BY RTRIM(OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC), OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC, APLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTPOYR, OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTPOPR, OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTIACN

    HAVING (RTRIM(OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC) IN ('041000054600', '023300150115', '023300050115', '041000150115', '041000050115', '051000150115', '051000050115',

    ORDER BY "Order"

  • You are grouping by the account number OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC which gives one row per account number. You need to group by the description.

    You might find it easier to create a new table of the account codes, their descriptions and sort order and join to that. It would make the code easier to read and would be more resilient to new GL accounts as they would only need to be added to the new table rather than changing the code.

  • It looks like some columns are missing from the SELECT above, so I can't try to do the full query, but here's a general approach for using a lookup table for the GL Account Descriptions and Order:

    CREATE TABLE dbo.GMGLAC_Descriptions (

    GMGLAC varchar(30) NOT NULL,

    [GL Description] varchar(40) NOT NULL,

    [Order] smallint NULL

    )

    INSERT INTO dbo.GMGLAC_Descriptions

    VALUES('041000054600', 'Royalty/Brand Fees', 10),

    ('023300150115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('023300050115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('041000150115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('041000050115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('051000150115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('051000050115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('081000150115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('081000050115', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('023300050103', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('041000050103', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('051000050103', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('081000050103', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('023300050102', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('041000050102', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('051000050102', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('081000050102', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('023300050108', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('041000050108', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('051000050108', 'Salaries ', 20),

    ('081000050108', 'Salaries ', 20)

    SELECT [GL Account], gd.[GL Description], ISNULL(gd.[Order], 9999) AS [Order],

    FROM OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST, OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET

    CROSS APPLY (

    SELECT RTRIM(OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMGLAC) AS "GL Account"

    ) AS assign_alias_names1

    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.GMGLAC_Descriptions gd ON gd.GMGLAC = [GL Account]

    WHERE OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMIACN = OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTIACN

    ...

    ORDER BY [Order]

  • Thanks for your help I get what you mean. Thanks again.

  • Thank you

  • A suggestion - probably nit-picking here ...

    FROM OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST, OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET

    WHERE OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMIACN = OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTIACN

    is the "old" way of doing things.

    The "modern" way is

    FROM OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST

    INNER JOIN OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET ON OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET.GTIACN = OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST.GMIACN

    Better yet, use aliases the make the code more readable by humans ...

    SELECT

    m.col1,

    m.col4,

    d.colA ...

    FROM OAPLUS7FLP.GLMST m

    INNER JOIN OAPLUS7FLP.GLDET d ON d.GTIACN = m.GMIACN
