Stephane , Thanks for the reply. I tried using a join function and I got the sum(data) I wanted but it listed the date twice, Once for each table select. In your reply you mentioned a percentage calculation problem.??? I think the sums are wrong because they get summed for each occurance of an enter in the table. What do you mean by an in-line view? I tried creating views to gather the data needed but have problems selecting a particular retnbr , saledate range, and grouping by saledate across two tables. Thanks, Ron
Ron, Looks to me like the classical percentage computation problem. Sums are wrong because applied to the result of the join. Compute your sums in an in-line view in the FROM clause. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Ltd -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
