Question

The table structure described is just for guidance. The column names are different compared to that of the DB.

I have a rather an unusual DB. I have agent table (Agents) with following structure.

A_ID(PK)|    AgentName    |    Team
------------------------------------
1       |    Abi          |    New
2       |    Carl         |    New
3       |    James        |    New

I have two other tables that has several fields but the ones in question have fields like..

Table: Transactions

ID(PK)  |    manyColumns  |    Agent_ID    |    OUTCOME
--------------------------------------------------------
96      |    ...          |    1           |    9          
98      |    ....         |    2           |    8       
99      |    .....        |    3           |    1       

Table: RAWDATA

ID(PK)  |    manyColumns  |    Agent_ID    |    BANK_OUTCOME
-------------------------------------------------------------
1234    |    ...          |    1           |    3
1114    |    ....         |    2           |    333
1745    |    .....        |    3           |    123

I have a log table with the details of the staff working hours..

Table: AGENT_ATTENDANCE

ATT_ID  |    Hours Worked |    Agent_ID_FK 
-------------------------------------------
96      |    7.5          |    1            
98      |    7.5          |    2             
99      |    7.5          |    3           

I also have a details of staff pay, hours contracted.

Table: AGENT_DETAILS

DT_ID   |    Hours WK      |    Pay    |    Agent_ID_FK 
-------------------------------------------------------
96      |    37.5          |    15600  |    1            
98      |    37.5          |    15600  |    2             
99      |    37.5          |    15600  |    3           

I have created separate queries but I want to display as one.. As the calculation depend on each other.. I am not sure how to do it.. The following are separate Queries.. How can I JOIN them as one??

Query – 1:

PARAMETERS [EnterStartDate:] DateTime, [EnterEndDate:] DateTime;

SELECT Agents.[Agent Name], 
Sum(IIf((([TRANSACTIONS].[BankOutcome]=3) Or ([TRANSACTIONS].[BankOutcome]=333)),1,0)) AS PositiveOutcome, 
Count(RAWDATA.Outcome) AS TotalRecordsUsed

FROM (RAWDATA LEFT JOIN Agents ON RAWDATA.[AGENT_ID] = Agents.A_ID) LEFT JOIN
TRANSACTIONS ON RAWDATA.ID = TRANSACTIONS.RAW_ID 

WHERE (((RAWDATA.DialedDate) Between [EnterStartDate:] And [EnterEndDate:]))

GROUP BY Agents.[Agent Name], RAWDATA.AGENT_ID

HAVING (((RAWDATA.AGENT_ID) Is Not Null));

Query – 2:

PARAMETERS [EnterStartDate:] DateTime, [EnterEndDate:] DateTime;

SELECT Agents.[Agent Name], AGENT_DETAILS.WK_TARGET_HOURS,
Sum(AGENT_ATTENDENCE.HoursWorked_Day) AS [Actual Hours Worked], 
[WK_TARGET_HOURS]-[Actual Hours Worked] AS [Hours Lost], AGENT_DETAILS.SALARY, 
Round([SALARY]/252/([WK_TARGET_HOURS]/5),2) AS [Hourly Rate], [Hourly Rate]*[Actual Hours Worked] AS [Staff Cost]

FROM (Agents INNER JOIN AGENT_DETAILS ON Agents.A_ID = AGENT_DETAILS.AGENT_ID_fk)
INNER JOIN AGENT_ATTENDENCE ON Agents.A_ID = AGENT_ATTENDENCE.AGENT_ID_fk

WHERE (((AGENT_ATTENDENCE.WorK_Date) Between [EnterStartDate:] And [EnterEndDate:]))

GROUP BY Agents.[Agent Name], AGENT_DETAILS.WK_TARGET_HOURS, AGENT_DETAILS.SALARY, 
Agents.Active, Agents.Team

HAVING (((Agents.Active)=True) AND ((Agents.Team)<>"Manager" And (Agents.Team)<>"Cust. Ser."));

Could attach the file if I could but I do not know how to.

Answer 1

I did not get into your code, but roughly you have 3 choices:

• If both queries have the same fields (not your case apparently) you can use a UNION query to have the data of both queries in 1 dataset.
• Otherwise, you can use query1 as the source of query2
• Finally you can build query1 and query2, then use a third query to JOIN the first 2
