Help with query

I am looking for some suggestions as I am a little stuck trying a create a
view that will give me the correct results. Basically I need to produce a
view where document amounts do not balance to 0 and to do this I am using
the ApplyTo column. It also needs to calculate the remaining balance of a
document
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] (
[type] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[DocNo] [int] NULL ,
[ApplyTo] [int] NULL ,
[Amount] [decimal](18, 0) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1012,1013,100)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1013,1013,-10
0)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1014,1013,-60
)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1015,1015,250)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1016,1016,175)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1017,1016,50)
Using the above example, the query should return the following results
Credit, 1014, 1013, -60
Inv, 1015, 1015, 250
Inv, 1016, 1016, 125
Any help would be much appreciated.
ThanksIt seems that you want to display only one document for each set that
does not balance to zero. That's not difficult but I'm not clear just
which document of the set you want to display. For example, the
following will return the highest numbered doc in each case:
SELECT type, docno, applyto, amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P
WHERE docno =
(SELECT MAX(docno)
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments
WHERE applyto = P.applyto
HAVING SUM(amount)<>0)
Also, what is the primary key? Apparently you don't have one. Shouldn't
ApplyTo be declared as a foreign key?

was a typo in your data: Credit: 50 instead of Credit: -50.
SELECT P.type, P.docno, P.applyto, Q.amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P,
(SELECT MAX(docno) AS docno,
SUM(amount) AS amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments
GROUP BY applyto
HAVING SUM(amount)<>0) AS Q
WHERE P.docno = Q.docno

Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to run it to see if it works with the
data I have here.

is it possible to exclude the grouping on the apply to number when it equals
0. For example
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1012,1013,100)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1013,1013,-10
0)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1014,1013,-60
)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1015,1015,250)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Inv',1016,1016,175)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1017,1016,-50
)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Credit',1018,0,-60)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Invoices_Payments] VALUES ('Payment',1019,0,-65)
Returns the following records
Credit, 1014, 1013, -60
Inv, 1015, 1015, 250
Inv, 1016, 1016, 125
Credit, 1018, 0 -60
Payment, 1019,0 -65
Thanks

Hi Sarah,
You could adapt David's code, like this:
SELECT P.type, P.docno, P.applyto, Q.amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P,
(SELECT MAX(docno) AS docno,
SUM(amount) AS amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments
GROUP BY applyto
HAVING SUM(amount)<>0) AS Q
WHERE P.docno = Q.docno
AND P.applyto <> 0
UNION ALL
SELECT P.type, P.docno, P.applyto, P.amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P
WHERE P.applyto = 0

Thanks.. can I get this working in a view? Apparently you can't use UNION
in a view?
Is there anyway around this?
Thanks

using prevents you doing this? Try creating the view in Query Analyzer:
CREATE VIEW foo
AS
SELECT P.type, P.docno, P.applyto, Q.amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P,
(SELECT MAX(docno) AS docno,
SUM(amount) AS amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments
GROUP BY applyto
HAVING SUM(amount)<>0) AS Q
WHERE P.docno = Q.docno
AND P.applyto <> 0
UNION ALL
SELECT P.type, P.docno, P.applyto, P.amount
FROM dbo.Invoices_Payments AS P
WHERE P.applyto = 0
If you mean that you can't create an INDEXED view then you are correct.
I don't think it will be possible to create an indexed view for this
because you can't avoid a self-join or subquery.

It works a treat!
