I am having a problem with a query that joins the following tables. I want to create a query that would tell me how many Manhours have been alloted for a particular project (32) by category and how many hours (from the Tasks table) have actually been used for this project and category.
The data tables look like this: Manhours mid | ProjectId |ChargeNum | Catid | Hours | EmployeeId 1 | 32 |111111 | 19 | 80 |200020 2 | 32 |111111 | 19 | 24 |200003 Tasks TaskID |ChargeNum |Catid |EmployeeId |Hours 1 |111111 |19 |200020 |8 2 |111111 |19 |200020 |8 5 |111111 |19 |200003 |12 By looking at the Manhours table I can tell that for ProjectId 32 I have 104 (80+24) hours alloted for Catid 19 By looking at the Tasks table I can tell that 36 hours (8 + 8 + 8 + 12) have been used on this project (same ChargeNum as Manhours table) and Catid 19 I would like to creat a query that would give me the following results Catid |allotedhours |usedHours 19 |104 |28 I have tried joining the tables in a variety of ways but I am still not getting the correct results. I seem to have some problems with the hours alloted calculating correctly. thanks, Luis
