Hello All

i have a report i am trying to generate, where at specific intervals i
need to total sale values of parts for the rebuilds of the life of an
"engine". basically i have had to create a couple of levels of queries
and a table to create the "matrix" of dollar values.

the first query looks like so:

SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"1 1000 Hr Service" AS IntervalDescription,
1000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.onekmaint ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"2 5000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
5000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.FiveKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"3 10000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
10000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.TenKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"4 15000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
15000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.FtKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"5 20000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
20000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.TwKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"6 25000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
25000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.TwFKThouRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"7 30000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
30000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.ThKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"8 35000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
35000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.ThFKRebuild ) = "y" ) )
UNION SELECT
tblProductPartList.ProductID,
tblProductPartList.IMWPartNumberID,
tblProductPartList.QTY,
"9 40000 Hr Rebuild" AS IntervalDescription,
40000 AS IntervalLink
FROM tblProductPartList
WHERE ( ( ( tblProductPartList.ProductID ) = Forms!frmManageAssets!
subProductID ) AND ( ( tblProductPartList.FtyKRebuild ) = "y" ) );

that gives me all the parts in thier proper interval. the second query
looks like this:

TRANSFORM Sum([SetCost]*[QTY]) AS TotalSetCost
SELECT qryRebuildReportStacked.ProductID,
qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalDescription,
qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalLink
FROM (qryRebuildReportStacked LEFT JOIN dbo_PART ON
qryRebuildReportStacked.IMWPartNumberID = dbo_PART.ID) LEFT JOIN
tblMasterPartList ON qryRebuildReportStacked.IMWPartNumberID =
tblMasterPartList.ID
GROUP BY qryRebuildReportStacked.ProductID,
qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalDescription,
qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalLink
ORDER BY qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalDescription
PIVOT qryRebuildReportStacked.IntervalLink In
("1000","5000","10000","15000","20000","25000","30000","35000","40000");

that gives me a matrix that gives a summed dollar value at the right
interval. the next step is to make the matrix mean something on the
report and to do that i hooked it up with a table that shows the
lifetime number of intervals with the appropriate dollar values. that
looks like this:

SELECT DISTINCTROW qryRebuildCostingCrossTab.ProductID,
tblRebuildIntervals.HoursID, tblRebuildIntervals.IntervalHours,
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab.[1000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_1.[5000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_2.[10000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_3.
[15000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_4.[20000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_5.[25000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_6.
[30000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_7.[35000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_8.[40000]
FROM qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_8 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_7 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_6 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_5 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_4 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_3 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_2 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab AS qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_1 RIGHT
JOIN (qryRebuildCostingCrossTab RIGHT JOIN tblRebuildIntervals ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab.IntervalLink = tblRebuildIntervals.rOneKhr)
ON qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_1.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rFiveKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_2.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rTenKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_3.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rFifteenKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_4.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rTwentyKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_5.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rTwentyFiveKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_6.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rThirtyKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_7.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rThiryFiveKhr) ON
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_8.IntervalLink =
tblRebuildIntervals.rFortyKhr
WHERE (((tblRebuildIntervals.IntervalHours)<>0))
GROUP BY qryRebuildCostingCrossTab.ProductID,
tblRebuildIntervals.HoursID, tblRebuildIntervals.IntervalHours,
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab.[1000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_1.[5000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_2.[10000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_3.
[15000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_4.[20000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_5.[25000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_6.
[30000], qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_7.[35000],
qryRebuildCostingCrossTab_8.[40000];

i am trying to make sure this report is as speedy as possible. it isnt
super slow or anything but i am always interested in insights from the
community and sometimes i think i miss a simpler more obvious way of
doing things.

any and all help appreciated.

Hello All

i have a report i am trying to generate, where at specific intervals i
need to total sale values of parts for the rebuilds of the life of an
"engine". basically i have had to create a couple of levels of queries
and a table to create the "matrix" of dollar values.

the first query looks like so:

SELECT
UNION SELECT

The only improvement I can see is to include the ALL keyword to prevent the
query engine from going to the trouble of eliminating duplicate rows
returned from the union. Only do this if you know there is no chance of any
of the unioned select statements returning duplicate rows.

Other than that, unions and pivots provide very few opportunities for
performance enhancement. One key to remember for pivots:
minimize the number of rows going into the pivot operation - if you can
perform an initial grouping on the input data, it might help. For example,
if 100,000 records need to be pivoted using a SUM operation, performance of
the pivot could be improved if you initally created a query to perform the
group by and sum, reducing the number of records. Then feed the results of
the grouping query into the pivot query. This won't always have an effect,
so testing of course will be required.

i have moved all the stuff i was doing a level up into the union query
so i am calculating before the crosstab. but now i have a different
problem. how do i get the cross tab to show all three dollar value
sets SetCost, VisualList and BatchList?
 
The only improvement I can see is to include the ALL keyword to prevent the
query engine from going to the trouble of eliminating duplicate rows
returned from the union. Only do this if you know there is no chance of any
of the unioned select statements returning duplicate rows.

Other than that, unions and pivots provide very few opportunities for
performance enhancement. One key to remember for pivots:
minimize the number of rows going into the pivot operation - if you can
perform an initial grouping on the input data, it might help. For example,
if 100,000 records need to be pivoted using a SUM operation, performance of
the pivot could be improved if you initally created a query to perform the
group by and sum, reducing the number of  records. Then feed the results of
the grouping query into the pivot query. This won't always have an effect,
so testing of course will be required.

yeah! i figured it out:

You're still leaving out the "ALL" keyword (my first suggestion in my reply)

UNION ALL SELECT
i have moved all the stuff i was doing a level up into the union query
so i am calculating before the crosstab. but now i have a different
problem. how do i get the cross tab to show all three dollar value
sets SetCost, VisualList and BatchList?

This actually is not what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that you feed
the result of the original UNION query into a grouping query to reduce the
number of records that are going to be processed by the TRANSFORM...PIVOT
query.

I was speaking from a generic standpoint rather than attempting to analyze
what you are doing here so I am going to have to let someone else jump in
here to answer your specific question.
 
i have a report i am trying to generate, where at specific intervals i
need to total sale values of parts for the rebuilds of the life of an
"engine". basically i have had to create a couple of levels of queries
and a table to create the "matrix" of dollar values.

My concern is what happens when the engineers decide one particular
engine/unit can now go 1200 hours between service intervals and all
the other numbers increase accordingly from 10,000 to 12,000.

Seems to me those kinds of numbers should be in a lookup table of some
sort.

They are already in a table. Thanks for the input. :)
