Group Sql results in Row Heading format

[Mike Will via WebmasterKB.com]

I've been struggling with this for a while now. But I want to display my
query results in a table where they are grouped by project. I am using a do
while loop but it not achieving the look I want.

This is what I got:
Project Employee Name OT Hours
Project 1 Employee A 7
Project 1 Employee C 5
Project 1 Employee D 3
Project 2 Employee A 8
Project 2 Employee B 4
Project 2 Employee E 6

This is what I would like or as it has been expressed to me is needed:
Project 1
Employee Name OT Hours
Employee A 7
Employee C 5
Employee D 3

Project 2
Employee Name OT Hours
Employee A 8
Employee B 4
Employee E 6

Thank you but I would hope there is a more efficient way.

Here is my code where I have begun building a table of information from my
recordset. I'm sure I just need some help thinking this through.

<table width="100%">
<%If rs2.RecordCount = 0 Then%>
<tr>
<td colspan="9" bgcolor="#ECE9D8" id="headtext"><h3>No projects within 10
miles <%=Request.QueryString("qryProject")%></h3></td>
</tr>
</table>
<%rs2.Close
Else%>
<tr>
<td colspan="9"><h4>Projects within 10 Miles of <%=Request.QueryString
("qryproject")%></h4></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#0099FF">
<th width="20%">Project</th>
<th width="20%">Employee</th>
<th width="20%">Project Description</th>
<th width="20%">Overtime Balance</th>
<th width="20%">Primary Contact Number</th>
</tr>
<% 'Loop through the recordset
Do While not rs2.EOF
'Write the HTML to display the current record in the recordset%>
<table width="100%">
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td width="20%" align="center"><%=rs2("Within10Miles")%></td>
<td width="20%" align="center"><%=rs2("Employee")%></td>
<td width="20%" align="center"><%=rs2("10MileDesc")%></td>
<td width="20%" align="center"><%=rs2("OTBal")%></td>
<td width="20%" align="center"><%=rs2("Phone1")%></td>
</tr>
</table>

You ARE serious? You would actually run separate sql statements for each
project ID? Rather than retrieving them all and looping to display them in
groups?

To the OP: I will post a script to do this later - it's simply a matter of
keeping track of which project ID you are on when displaying the items.

I'm assuming your sql statement looks something like this:

sql = "select Project, EmployeeName,OTHours from tbl "&_
"order by Project ,OTHours desc"

I would use GetRows to read the recordset into an array and process it like
this:

dim rs, ar, CurrProj, NewProj

set rs=conn.execute(sql,,1)
if not rs.eof then ar=rs.GetRows
rs.close:set rs=nothing
conn.close: set conn=nothing
dim titles
titles="<tr><th>Employee Name</th>" & _
"<th>OT Hours</th></tr>"
if isarray(ar) then
CurrProj = ar(0,0)
Response.Write "<table border=""1"" style=""" & _
"bordercollapse:collapse""><tr><th colspan=2>" & _
CurrProj & "</th></tr>"
Response.Write titles
for i=0 to ubound(ar,2)
NewProj=ar(0,i)
if CurrProj <NewProj then
CurrProj=NewProj
Response.Write "<tr><th colspan=2>" & _
CurrProj & "</th></tr>"
Response.Write titles
end if
Response.Write "<tr><td>" & ar(1,i) & "</td>" & _
"<td>" & ar(2,i) & "</td></tr>"
next
Response.Write "</table>"
else
Response.Write "No Records Were Retrieved"
end if

Sure, but as in all developing you have to take it one step at a time, Bob,
and building a page with two or three "project" groups as discrete SQL's
will convince you [general you] what you want is feasable.

Then you can choose for a system whith an outer and an inner loop.

and finally make a develish comlicated SQL that can do the whole
kakamadoodle in one go.

I am sure you [specific you], Bob, can skip those intermediate steps in
your head, but will that be educational?

To the OP: I will post a script to do this later - it's simply a
matter of keeping track of which project ID you are on when displaying
the items.

I am sure most OP's will be glad for that, and they will not loose any
sleep, but will they be able to do the job themselves next time?

And no, I am not totally serious, where would the fun be in that?

Yes that is what my sql statement looks like. I experimented with an array
and just couldn't pull it off. I'm not above getting help so I posted the
question. Thanks Bob I'll give it a shot.
