Failing_Solutions Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hello gang, I'm looking for help with my query SELECT IFNULL(worker_id,'Totals') AS Operator, -- outer query labels rollup row sums.2012-11-26, sums.2012-11-27, sums.2012-11-28, -- and calculates horizontal sums sums.2012-11-26 + sums.2012-11-27 + sums.2012-11-28 AS Sums FROM ( -- inner query groups by employee SELECT -- with an expression for each column worker_id, SUM(IF(production_date=2012-11-26,production_net,0)) As '11-26-2012', SUM(IF(production_date=2012-11-27,production_net,0)) As '11-27-2012', SUM(IF(production_date=2012-11-28,production_net,0)) As '11-28-2012' FROM production GROUP BY worker_id WITH ROLLUP ) AS sums This is my attempt to mimic the logic found here http://www.artfulsof...rytip.php?id=78 What I keep getting is errors like this "Unknown column 'sums.2012-11-26' in 'field list'" Which usually I assumed, meant I had not properly encapsulated the header names so I tried (sums.'2012-11-26' and 'sums.'2012-11-26' as well as variations with back ticks and no luck whatsoever. Any help is very much appreciated.. This is how the data is stored in the database id |production_date| production_net| worker_id -------------------------------------------------- 1 |2013-01-10 | 390 | MMahe -------------------------------------------------- 2 |2013-01-10 | 400 | RMaloney -------------------------------------------------- 3 |2013-01-11 | 460 | JBurris -------------------------------------------------- 4 |2013-01-11 | 210 | MMahe -------------------------------------------------- 5 |2013-01-14 | 285 | LTaylor -------------------------------------------------- I'm wanting the results to look something like this.. operator| 2013-01-10| 2013-01-11| 2013-01-14| Sums | ---------------------------------------------------- MMahe | 390 | 210 | | 600 | ---------------------------------------------------- RMaloney| 400 | | | 400 | ---------------------------------------------------- JBurris | | 460 | | 460 | ---------------------------------------------------- LTaylor | | | 285 | 285 | ---------------------------------------------------- Totals | 790 | 670 | 285 |1745 | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 backticks should do it ... As `11-26-2012` and sums.`11-26-2012` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failing_Solutions Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Hi Barand Thanks for the response, I had thought I tried all varations of the backticks and apstrophes, but to be sure I ran them again with this query... SELECT IFNULL(worker_id,'Totals') AS Operator, sums.`2012-11-26`, sums.`2012-11-27`, sums.`2012-11-28`, sums.`2012-11-26` + sums.`2012-11-27` + sums.`2012-11-28` AS Sums FROM ( SELECT worker_id, SUM(IF(production_date='2012-11-26',production_net,0)) As `11-26-2012`, SUM(IF(production_date='2012-11-27',production_net,0)) As `11-27-2012`, SUM(IF(production_date='2012-11-28',production_net,0)) As `11-28-2012` FROM production GROUP BY worker_id WITH ROLLUP ) AS sums And still receive this error...#1054 - Unknown column 'sums.2012-11-26' in 'field list' Whats more to further negate the issue with improperly encapsulated headers I decided to duplicate this table, and updated the date field to a varchar and remove the dashes so I end up with straight number values like this id |production_date| production_net| worker_id -------------------------------------------------- 1 |20130110 | 390 | MMahe -------------------------------------------------- 2 |20130110 | 400 | RMaloney -------------------------------------------------- 3 |20130111 | 460 | JBurris -------------------------------------------------- 4 |20130111 | 210 | MMahe -------------------------------------------------- 5 |20130114 | 285 | LTaylor ------------------------------------------------- Then ran this query SELECT IFNULL(worker_id,'Totals') AS Operator, sums.20121126, sums.20121127, sums.20121128, sums.20121126 + sums.20121127 + sums.20121128 AS Sums FROM ( SELECT worker_id, SUM(IF(production_date=20121126,production_net,0)) As '11262012', SUM(IF(production_date=20121127,production_net,0)) As '11272012', SUM(IF(production_date=20121128,production_net,0)) As '11282012' FROM production GROUP BY worker_id WITH ROLLUP ) AS sums And got the same error #1054 - Unknown column 'sums.20121126' in 'field list' Any ideas ? attached is a the sql to create the table I am dealing with if that would help.. production.txt Edited January 22, 2013 by Failing_Solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) You should use alias names as it is - in this case it doesn't magically know you are dealing with dates 11262012 is not same as 20121126 Edited January 22, 2013 by Illusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Compare sums.`2012-11-26`, used in the SELECT clause with the alias you used in the sums subquery ie ... As `11-26-2012`, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
