I have a table in my database which stores packing slips and their information.

  • 0

I have a table in my database which stores packing slips and their information. I’m trying to query that table and get each unique address. I’ve come close, but I still have many near misses and I’m looking for a way to exclude these near duplicates from my select.

Sample Data

CompanyCode   CompanyName                     Addr1                City         State   Zip
10033         UNITED DIE  CUTTING & FINISHIN  3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114
10033         UNITED DIE CUTTING & FINISHING  3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114
10033         UNITED DIE CUTTING & FINISHING  3610 HAMILTON AVE.   CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114
10033         UNITED DIE CUTTING & FINISHING  3610 HAMILTON AVENUE CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114
10033         UNITED DIECUTTING & FINISHING   3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVELAND    Ohio    44144
10033         UNITED FINISHING                3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVLAND     Ohio    44114
10033         UNITED FINISHING & DIE CUTTING  3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114

And all I want is 1 record. Is there some way I can get the “Average” record? Meaning, if most of the records say CLEVELAND instead of CLEVLAND, I want my 1 record to say CLEVELAND. Is there any way to par this data down to what I’m looking for?

Desired Output

 CompanyCode   CompanyName                     Addr1                City         State   Zip
 10033         UNITED DIE CUTTING & FINISHING  3610 HAMILTON AVE    CLEVELAND    Ohio    44114

    You need to use subqueries in the select statement
    Try this query:

     select CompanyCode,
    (select top 1 CompanyName from Table1 where CompanyCode=X.CompanyCode 
     group by CompanyName order by count(*) desc) CompanyName,
    (select top 1 Addr1 from Table1 where CompanyCode=X.CompanyCode 
     group by Addr1 order by count(*) desc) Addr1,
    (select top 1 City from Table1 where CompanyCode=X.CompanyCode 
     group by City order by count(*) desc) City,
    (select top 1 State from Table1 where CompanyCode=X.CompanyCode 
     group by State order by count(*) desc) State,
    (select top 1 Zip from Table1 where CompanyCode=X.CompanyCode 
     group by Zip order by count(*) desc) Zip
from    Table1 X
group by CompanyCode
