Union Query Help

[jo15765]

I am trying to create a Union Query that will total the numbers from the months in 2010. I am trying to set it to display the month, the year, the type, and then the number input for that month, and then at the bottom display the "Grand Total" which adds all of the inputs. I have that set up with the following code:

Select Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), AS Year_, DatePart('m',[date_entered]) AS Month_, DatePart('d',[date_entered]), AS Day_, [Visit_type] AS Visit_Type_
From tbl_recordsinput AS v
Group BY DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), DatePart('m',[date_entered]), DatePart('d',[date_entered]), [Visity_type]
Union SELECT Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], "Grand Total" AS Year_, "" AS Month_, "" AS Day_, "" AS Visit_Type
From tbl_recordsinput AS V
Group BY "", "", "", "",;

This code works just as it should. The catch I am running into is I am wanting it to prompt what visit type to display before the query is run, so I tried to add the line all in CAPS:

Select Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), AS  Year_, DatePart('m',[date_entered]) AS Month_,  DatePart('d',[date_entered]), AS Day_, [Visit_type] AS Visit_Type_
From tbl_recordsinput AS v
Group BY DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), DatePart('m',[date_entered]), DatePart('d',[date_entered]), [Visity_type]
HAVING (((TBL_RECORDSINPUT.VISIT_TYPE)=[ENTER VISIT TYPE]))
Union SELECT Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], "Grand Total" AS Year_, "" AS Month_, "" AS Day_, "" AS Visit_Type
From tbl_recordsinput AS V
Group BY "", "", "", "",;

This will prompt me for the visit type before the query runs, but when the query displays the results it displays all results not the specific visit type I was wanting it to ONLY display. Is there a way to modify this code, so that the query will only display the numbers input from the visit type that I am telling the query to display?

Untested, but try

Select Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), AS Year_, DatePart('m',[date_entered]) AS Month_, DatePart('d',[date_entered]), AS Day_, [Visit_type] AS Visit_Type_
From tbl_recordsinput AS v
WHERE (((v.VISIT_TYPE)=[ENTER VISIT TYPE]))
Group BY DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), DatePart('m',[date_entered]), DatePart('d',[date_entered]), [Visity_type]
Union SELECT Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], "Grand Total" AS Year_, "" AS Month_, "" AS Day_, "" AS Visit_Type
From tbl_recordsinput AS V
Group BY "", "", "", "",;

That code prompts the user to input what they are wanting displayed, but the "Grand Total" is displaying all of the data input. Not just the data for what the user input to be displayed? I have googled this problem as well, but I can't seem to find out what is causing it. Any suggestions?

I thought that was what you wanted, so I left it the way you had it. Each SELECT clause stands on its own, so you'd need the same WHERE clause on that section. As long as you use the exact same text, the user should only be prompted once.

i don't think i follow wha your saying?

but to answer your question i am only wanting the total count of the visit type tthat the user inputs.

i changed thhe code to what you gave me and it works by only displaying the visitt type input. is it possible to tweak it again to only display the "grand total" of the visit type selected?

Select Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), AS Year_, DatePart('m',[date_entered]) AS Month_, DatePart('d',[date_entered]), AS Day_, [Visit_type] AS Visit_Type_
From tbl_recordsinput AS v
WHERE (((v.VISIT_TYPE)=[ENTER VISIT TYPE]))
Group BY DatePart('yyyy',[date_entered]), DatePart('m',[date_entered]), DatePart('d',[date_entered]), [Visity_type]
Union SELECT Count(v.id) AS [Count#_], "Grand Total" AS Year_, "" AS Month_, "" AS Day_, "" AS Visit_Type
From tbl_recordsinput AS V
WHERE (((v.VISIT_TYPE)=[ENTER VISIT TYPE]))
Group BY "", "", "", "",;
