I'm trying to write one select statement to pull all of the data I need for a particular report. The first part of the statement pulls various things from a transactions table. It works fine. As soon as I add the code to access the inventory table as well, though, I end up with numbers that are way too large.
I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but here are the select statements below if anyone has any insight. The first is just transactions table, and seemingly works. The second is the trouble maker. The goal is to sum all the listed transaction table fields for the given date, but the get the current total of inventory value, regardless of any date constraints on inventory. SELECT SUM(total) as Total, SUM(tax) as Tax, SUM(subtotal) as Subtotal, SUM(cost) as COGS, (SUM(total) - SUM(ext_cost))/SUM(total)*100 as GP FROM trx where trx.date = CTOD('09/30/06') SELECT SUM(total) as Total, SUM(tax) as Tax, SUM(subtotal) as Subtotal, SUM(cost) as COGS, (SUM(total) - SUM(ext_cost))/SUM(total)*100 as GP, SUM(inventory.onhand*inventory.avg_cost) FROM trx, inventory where trx.date = CTOD('09/30/06') Thanks in advance!
