SQL TOP Syntax issue from Ira

TheIMan

Hi, I've been having trouble getting this query to return the values I
need. I have two related tables that contain raw material purchase
information. Currently, the query is returning ALL the pruchases for a
particular item, but I want to limit it to return 10 most recent
purchases for a particular item. I tried using the SELECT TOP
statement, but I keep putting it in the wrong places and the query
returned only 10 records period. I want the LAST 10 for EACH item. Can
anyone help? Thank you. Below is the query as it stands returning all
the records: -- Ira

to return 10 most recent purchases - first you would need to have an orderby
involving the purchase date which I do not see below

ORDER BY Table.[DateFieldName] DESC

and your query should begin

SELECT TOP 10

hint; put into query design grid and there is a Top feature in the tool
bar.... easier to tweak a query using the grid and move it to SQL view for
the syntax

NTC,

This is not working. It only returns the TOP N records overall. I need
all the values in the materials table and only to last 10 purchases
for each material.

ah - I see - well that is a tricky query - I would have to look at my sql
info and may not get to; I don't have an answer to this one off the
sleeve...since old questions, particulary those with some dialog, are
generally not looked at - you should ask a streamlined version of this
question and post it new in the query section....

actually - over in the Query section I just searched on Top 10 and found a
question almost identical to yours:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...8ada&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us

I'm trying to design a query where I return the last 10 matches
for a given player. -------------------------------------

Assuming you have a [MatchDate] field, try something like:

Select T1.Player_ID, T1.Match_ID, Count(T2.Player_ID) as MatchOrder
FROM yourTable as T1
LEFT JOIN yourTable as T2
ON T1.[Player_ID] = T2.[Player_ID]
AND T2.[Match_Date] <= T1.[Match_Date]
WHERE Count(T2.Player_ID) <= 10
GROUP BY T1.Player_ID, T1.Match_ID
