Got some help the other day on this and now really want to make a change for the better
Here is code
select
machines.serialnum, DRPS.assetnumber, DRPS.MOCALCSUM, DRPS.MICALCSUM,
DRPS.COCALCSUM, DRPS.CICALCSUM, ISSUED.TotalIssued,
REDEEMED.TotalRedeemed,drps.dropdate1,drps.dropdate2
from
(select serialnum
from machineinfo) as machines
LEFT JOIN
(select
assetnumber, min(dropdate) as [dropdate1], max(dropdate) as [dropdate2],
sum(mocalc) AS [MOCALCSUM], sum(micalc) AS [MICALCSUM],
sum(cocalc) AS [COCALCSUM],sum(cicalc) AS [CICALCSUM]
from drops
where dropdate > '09/04/2012' and dropdate < dateadd(hour, -0, getdate())
GROUP BY assetnumber) AS DRPS on machines.serialnum = drps.assetnumber
LEFT JOIN
(select
snissued, cast(sum(amount) as money) / 100 AS [TotalIssued]
from tickets
where dateissued > '09/04/2012' and dateissued < dateadd(hour, 0, getdate())
group by snissued) AS ISSUED ON machines.serialnum = ISSUED.snissued
LEFT JOIN
(select
snredeemed, cast(sum(amount) as money) / 100 AS [TotalRedeemed]
from tickets
where dateredeemed > '09/04/2012' and dateredeemed < dateadd(hour, 0, getdate())
group by snredeemed) AS REDEEMED ON machines.serialnum = REDEEMED.snredeemed
what I would like to accomplish if possible is for the second and third join is to use the drps.drop1 in the where clause like this
where dropdate > drps.dropdate1 and dropdate < drps.dropdate2
but it does not work
here is working output
serialnum MOCALCSUM MICALCSUM COCALCSUM CICALCSUM TotalIssued TotalRedeemed dropdate1 dropdate2
0-2739-41401 5482 5498 132 148 3258.00 3110.00 2012-09-04 13:36:53.450 2012-09-05 13:55:38.750
0-2459-36182 1110 1054 114 58 1895.00 1657.00 2012-09-04 15:01:19.973 2012-09-05 13:55:38.967
end result is I need total issued and total redeemed date range to be between the min and max date per serial number
based on the suggestion from comments i added the subquery into the selects and i am getting expected results now
