I have the following ms access query that reports all the records in the left table as espected. however as soon as i have a column in the select statement from the right table then the records start increasing more than the max records in the left table
can someone please assist how i can alter the code so it allows me to include fields from the right side table as well whilst keeping the max records output to be the total records in the left table an no others
SELECT BENEFITS_FORECAST2.lob, BENEFITS_FORECAST2.period,
BENEFITS_FORECAST2.rd_aflc_f,
(BENEFITS_FORECAST2.ils_aflc_f-ils_aflc_a) AS ils_aflc_v
FROM BENEFITS_FORECAST2 left join Benefits_mom_data_set1 ON (BENEFITS_FORECAST2.LOB = Benefits_mom_data_set1.BenefitsLOB) AND (BENEFITS_FORECAST2.PERIOD = Benefits_mom_data_set1.Period)
WHERE (((Benefits_mom_data_set1.newCnt)=1) AND ((Benefits_mom_data_set1.legalServiceProviderType) Like 'on panel'))
group by BENEFITS_FORECAST2.lob, BENEFITS_FORECAST2.period, BENEFITS_FORECAST2.rd_aflc_f
order by BENEFITS_FORECAST2.lob, BENEFITS_FORECAST2.period
Can you share some data on both tables? Adding columns from the right should not increase the number of records on the left in a normal left join. However, I'm noticing that you you have a GROUP BY
clause. If you aren't group by properly with the additional columns from Benefits_mom_data_set1, then you are likely get multiple rows.
