Grouping Output to Excel. Help Needed!

39 New Member
Hi

I have a problem which I cant quite solve.

I have a query that groups records together to get a Total Price.....

Group....... Total Quantity....... .....Price
1............ .....450....... .............68 9.29305
2............ .....300....... ............522 .6018875
3............ .....1035...... ...........889. 7918
4............ .....750....... ...........799. 4961375


I then have another query that shows individual quantities

Group....... Quantity Total Quantity....... .....Price
1.............. ...50.......... .......450 ............... ..689.29
1.............. ...75.......... .......450 ............... ..689.29
1.............. ...100......... ........450 ............... ..689.29
1.............. ...100......... ........450 ............... ..689.29
2.............. ...150......... ........300 ............... ..522.60
2.............. ...150......... ........300 ............... ..522.60
3.............. ...435......... ........1035... ..............8 89.79
3.............. ...600......... ........1035... ..............8 89.79
4.............. ...750......... ........750 ............... ..799.50



But i want my table to look like this (see below) without the duplication of Total Quantity and Price

Group....... Quantity Total Quantity....... .....Price
1.............. ...50.......... ............... ............... ..689.29
1.............. ...75.......... ............... ............... ...689.29
1.............. ...100......... .............. ............... ..689.29
1.............. ...100......... ........450 ............... ..689.29
2.............. ...150......... ............... ............... ..522.60
2.............. ...150......... ........300 ............... ..522.60
3.............. ...435......... ............... ............... ..889.79
3.............. ...600......... ........1035... ..............8 89.79
4.............. ...750......... ........750 ............... ..799.50


I then want to export it to excel.

I can do it in a report by adding Grouping levels but it doesnt look good when exported to excel.

Any ideas on how i can do this?

Thanks

I think your table design is a little suspect - as we need to assume that the price is the same across various records of the same group. Not normalised (Normalisation and Table structures).

However, overlooking that for now, there are two possible approaches I can see :
  1. Recommended - Export the basic data into Excel and let Excel handle totalling (It's inbuilt - Data / Subtotals ...).
  2. Something like the following :
    Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
    1. SELECT [Group],
    2.        [Quantity],
    3.        [Price]
    4. FROM tblData
    5. UNION ALL SELECT [Group],
    6.                  Sum([Quantity]),
    7.                  [Price]
    8. FROM tblData
    9. GROUP BY [Group],[Price]
    10. ORDER BY [Group],[Quantity]
    Beware the total only appears at the bottom if you include the [Quantity] field in the ORDER BY clause.

Clearing duplication is bread and butter but in XSLT it’s not. The old preceding axis method is both too slow and destined to failure. The Muenchian method, although sublime...

I have a challenge... In a table I call tblStuff4Letters with 3 fields: , and . I have a report called rptOutboundCorrespondence that feeds off this table. Sorting & grouping is turned on in that report - sorted first on (ascending) then on (ascending). Of course, there are more supporting fields in the table. The above 3 are the significant fields for this discussion.

tblCourses one to many to tblEvents. A course may have an intro workshop (a type of event), a mid course workshop, a final exam. Or any combination. Or something different in the future. At the moment the printed output is usually going to Word. It's turning into an unholy mess, because I'm having to prepare umpteen different Word templates, and the queries that drive them, depending on what events a course has.

Hi I'm trying to use XSLT to do an xml to xml transformation where the output xml contains summary data on the information in the input xml. I've succesfully done a Muenchian grouping of the data from the input xml file, but I can't see how to operate on the grouped result to create and output the desired summary data. If someone could give a reference to an example or provide an actual example I'd really apprecaite it.
