Thanks for the reply Shawn. When I ran your version, I noticed that my
'devices' column was off by a multiplier of 3 (that is, it said 9 rather
than 3, or 15 rather than 5, etc.) Turns out, it just needed another
DISTINCT in there. So, for those playing along at home, here is the final
working query:
SELECT Departments.DeptID,
DeptName,
COUNT(DISTINCT UserDept.CoreID) AS users,
COUNT(DISTINCT IP_Addr) as devices
FROM Departments
LEFT JOIN IP_Dept
ON Departments.DeptID = IP_Dept.DeptID
LEFT JOIN UserDept
ON Departments.DeptID = UserDept.DeptID
GROUP BY Departments.DeptID, Departments.DeptName
ORDER BY DeptName DESC;
