ACCESS SQL - Sum column grouped by a criteria and show also empty results
For this question, let's say I have two tables: Transactions and Categories.
Transactions:
- Transaction_ID
- Category_ID_FK
- TransactionDate
- TransactionValue
Categories:
- Category_ID
- CategoryDescritpion
I am trying to write a query that will sum all the TransactionValues that took place in a month (December, for instance) grouped by Category_ID and display the results for all category even when there are no Transactions on the table for a specific Category.
SELECT Categories.Category_ID, Sum(TransactionValue)
FROM Categories LEFT JOIN Transactions ON Categories.Category_ID = Transactions.Category_ID_FK
WHERE Month(TransactionDate) = '12'
With this, I only get results from categories that have at least one transaction on the Transactions table.
Thank you all!

Your query has noGROUP BY, so you should be getting a syntax error.

You can use a subquery in MS Access:
SELECT c.Category_ID, Sum(t.TransactionValue)
FROM Categories as c LEFT JOIN
(SELECT t.*
FROM Transactions as t
WHERE Month(t.TransactionDate) = 12
) as t
ON c.Category_ID = t.Category_ID_FK
GROUP BY c.Category_ID;
The typical SQL syntax would include the condition in the ON clause:
SELECT c.Category_ID, Sum(t.TransactionValue)
FROM Categories as c LEFT JOIN
Transactions as t
ON c.Category_ID = t.Category_ID_FK AND Month(t.TransactionDate) = 12
GROUP BY c.Category_ID;
I don't think that MS Access supports this syntax.

Thank you, Gordon. That solved it. The second solution didn't work on Access, as you mentioned. I got a "JOIN expression not supported" error
