Hey All,
 
I'm currently starting to work on a report that show sales and buys from articles.
For my base i have 4 diferent DB's
 
1 with all the article's
2 i need to use to see how much of every article we bought
1 i need to see how much we sold
 
i want to know how much we bought and sold in a time frame
 
the link between the db's are like the following
 
DB1: Articles                 DB2: recregel        DB3: receptie
   
 
       a_a_volgnr   ->     r_volgnr
       a_omschr              r_document     ->   R_document
                                    (r_aantal)               (r_date)
 
                           ->     DB4:  h_volgnr
                                              (h_date)
                                              (h_aantal) 
 
Everything starts for my articles DB (DB1)
The stuff between the () is the field info i need to see.
 
I need the DB2 becouse my date when we bought stuff is only availeble in DB3 not in the second
a date can also be found in DB4
 
Now when i try to build this up i keep getting LOTS of results but i know i only have 200 artikles i want to check
I keep getting arround 26k results .... :( and he gives me a lot of articles 2-3-10-.. times
 
I can see how it comes but i have no clue what to do about it
 
My last resort would be working with 2 subreports as i know that will work but i'm still trying to make it all in one...
 
End result should be somthing like this
 
start date:  01-01-2009
End date:   30-01-2009
 
Article       discription                     bought    sold    
305406    Hard drive 500 GB          10              8
706304    Sound card V4                 2               9
a_volgnr       a_omschr                   r_aantal    h_aantal
 
 
Any idee's on this ?
 
 
Tnx in advance !!!

I am guessing, but you are probably getting multiple results because an article can be bought multiple times and then sold even more times.  You don't buy an article once and all of the shipment is sold to one person.  If you are just looking for summary data, you could probably pull a min on the date in db3 and a max for the date in db4 along with a sum for the items sold in db4, that might get rid of your dupes.

Hey Lockwelle
 
that's indeed the problem i buy a product a couple of times during that period and i sell it even more ...
for every buy it gives me all the sales or other way arround for every sale i get all the buys
 
Could you explain a bit what you mean with the min and max on the dates ?

if you are getting the data via a stored proc, then: Select Min(table.field) From table. (I get all my data from stored procs)
 
If you are getting the data by linking to the tables, what you migh try is allowing the data to duplicate (since it is not duplicated, each row is slightly different) then for the grouping, for you min/max date just use the aggregated functions in CR to get the min/max date of a field.  For each line you would display in a group footer/header the sum of the sold items, summing the bought items would be harder as you would need  a formula/running total to only add the purchased amount 1 time per purchase record (even though there are x sell records)
 
Hope this gives a path.

It sure does :)

This is compleet different as what i normalt do (i only link to a SQL db) and don't use any sql querry's @all that i make myself
only the stuff on record or group lvl and some formula's.
 
Think it will be a lot more easy in the end to make 2 sub reports 1 for sales and gives me a total per day and one for buy's with a total per day and just return those 2 to the main report
Will take a bit longer to load but that doesn't matter
 
Tnx a lot for thinking about it !!
