Question

I seem to be running into a query syntax error but cannot seem to isolate it. I am using MS Access and when I run the queries I get a syntax error in FROM clause.

I have two tables and they are in a one to many relationship:

Table 1 called (customer) with the following fields:

ID
FirstName

Table 2 called (tblservice) with the following fields:

serviceID
Timing
Total
customerID   <-Foreign Key

First Query:

select c.id, c.firstname, avg(s.Total) / (select count(id) from customer) as LifetimeValue
from tblservice as s join customer as c on s.id = c.id
group by s.id

Second Query(30 day span):

select c.id, c.firstname, avg(s.Total) / (select count(id) from customer) as LifetimeValue
from tblservice as s join customer as c on s.id = c.id
where (s.Timing)>=DateAdd("d",-30,Date())
group by s.id

Answer 1

Try this:

select c.id, c.firstname, avg(s.Total) / count(c.id) as LifetimeValue
from tblservice as s inner join customer as c on s.id = c.id
group by c.id, c.firstname

and

select c.id, c.firstname, avg(s.Total) / count(c.id) as LifetimeValue
from tblservice as s inner join customer as c on s.id = c.id
where (s.Timing)>=DateAdd("d",-30,Date())
group by c.id, c.firstname

You cannot select c.id and c.firstname unless you group by them. And you can use count(c.id) since you are already grouping by c.id. I have not used SQL in MS Access though. So I am not 100% sure. Try it out.
