csharpmin Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am working on a database for my babysitting company. I would like a count of each time a sitter sitted for a client. Not the number of jobs a sitter has worked on total, mind you, but the number of jobs for each client. I have included the bare-bones structure I'm working with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sitters_test.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am assuming you want this in the portal for the Sitters layout instead of in a summary report. Put another table occurence of the Jobs table on the graph. Then create a self join relationship keyed on ClientID. Create a calculation that is a Sum ( Job 2::HoursBooked ) and then you can put this calculation on the portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csharpmin Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Of course, the ol' self-join. Thank you. I used a variation on your tip. I got it working the way I want by making another instance of the Job Table and matching both the sitter and client ids. Then I could count what I wanted. FYI: I'm using this count so that I can sort a portal of available sitters for a job based on the number of times they've sitted for that client. Thanks for the help. It was just the inspiration I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
