Splitting Positive and Negative Figures into Separate Columns

2 New Member
Hi, hoping someone can help…

I have a table called “Table1” and within it are various columns including a “Transactions” column that contain both credit and debit (positive and negative) transactions. As well as the “Transactions” column in “Table1” there is also an “Account Number” column. There are several account numbers and each account number has several transactions.

The end goal is to create a query that splits the debit/credit transactions into separate columns and then totalled for each account.

Iv tried creating one query with <0 criteria under the “Transactions” field for negative and vice versa for positive then a third to bring the two columns together but it’s not really working!

Ideally it would be great to do from one query but think it may be unlikely to do from the query ‘design view’.

Whilst I have no experience with SQL, I am confident of following any clear guidance offered.

I thank you in advance!

If your table also has one of field something like "Transaction_Ty pe", e.g. for every negative transaction "DR" and for positive transaction "CR", then you can create "Crosstab Query" and keep above field in columns & other required fields in Rows. Then I think you'll get result the way you want it.

You can also use the IIF function to split your column without multiple queries.

But if you want to continue down the multiple queries, create a positve query and a negative query, then union them. Each will require a dummy field.

thanks guys, really appreciate it.

Iv cracked it with the IF staments. Created two new columns, one column:

Credits: IIf(Table1.Tran sactions > 0, Table1.Transact ion,0)

The second column:

Debits: IIf(Table1.Tran sactions < 0, Table1.Transact ion,0)


Thanks again.

I need to Total the amounts for each Property ID in a table. All the amounts are stored as positive in the database. Based on a transaction code, the amount should be added or subtracted. There are about 14 transaction codes, but here is an example: Transaction Code "Addition" - - add the amount Transaction Code "Disposal" - - subtract the amount Can this be done in single select statement ?

Is it possible to force positive values to have the + sign prefixed on them? double f1 = 1024.2; double f2 = -1024.2; string.Format( "{0:F}", f1 ); // +1024.2 string.Format( "{0:F}", f2 ); // -1024.2 I was hoping for something either in the string.Format prefix, or

Hi, I have a query where I select all the values from my MS SQL table that are LIKE a certain string. The query works, but in the ASP page, I only want to write the date once, while writing the values from the other column in all cases. To illustrate, i have a table that looks like this: ID Date Name 1 2007/01/01 city_house 2 2007/01/02 city_farm 3 2007/01/02 city_house

Hi there, I'm stuck here and would appreciate any nudges or ideas! My basic scenario is this - I have a table with duplicate records and I need to take the values from the duplicate records and place them into separate columns.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
