I'm writing a query in access 2010 and i can't use count(distinct... so I'm running into a bit of trouble with what can be found below:
An example of my table is as follows
Provider | Member ID | Dollars | Status
FacilityA | 1001 | 50 | Pended
FacilityA | 1001 | 100 | Paid
FacilityA | 1002 | 200 | Paid
FacilityB | 1005 | 30 | Pended
FacilityB | 1009 | 90 | Pended
FacilityC | 1001 | 100 | Paid
FacilityC | 1008 | 500 | Paid
I want to return the total # of unique members that have visited each facility, but I also want to get the total dollar amount that is Pended, so for this example the ideal output would be
Provider | # members | Total Pended charges
FacilityA | 2 | 50
FacilityB | 2 | 120
FacilityC | 2 | 0
I tried using some code I found here: Count Distinct in a Group By aggregate function in Access 2007 SQL and here: SQL: Count distinct values from one column based on multiple criteria in other columns
Copying the code from the first link provided by gzaxx:
SELECT cd.DiagCode, Count(cd.CustomerID)
FROM (select distinct DiagCode, CustomerID from CustomerTable) as cd
Group By cd.DiagCode;
I can make this work for counting the members:
SELECT cd.Provider_Number, Count(cd.Member_ID)
FROM (select distinct Provider_Number, Member_ID from Claims_Table) as cd
ON claims_table.Provider_Number=cd.Provider_Number
Group By cd.Provider_Number;
However, no matter what I try I can't get a second portion dealing with the dollars to work without causing an error or messing up the calculation on the member count.
