how would i change my stocktake to this:

1H011,TY06S-6000-NA,2
1H013,TB07H-6400-NA,4
1H013,TS95V-9400-NB,2
1H013,TY05H-6400-NA,5
1H021,TY06S-6000-NA,10
1H023,TY05H-6400-NA,1

from this:

1H013,TS95V-9400-NB,1
1H013,TY05H-6400-NA,3
1H013,TY05H-6400-NA,1
1H013,TB07H-6400-NA,2
1H021,TY06S-6000-NA,10
1H013,TS95V-9400-NB,S
1H013,TY05H-6400-NA,S
1H023,TY05H-6400-NA,S
1H013,TB07H-6400-NA,S
1H011,TY06S-6000-NA,S
1H013,TB07H-6400-NA,M
1H011,TY06S-6000-NA,M

as you can see it is sorted, same files are summed and the S's and M's =1.
need to do it with a script? and without a dictionary or master file?

Solution 1

You will need to do a SUM() in your selection, utilizing a GROUP BY to identify the breakup of the sums, a CASE statement to retrieve values, then use ORDER BY to sort them:

SQL

SELECT 
   Column1, 
   Column2, 
   SUM(
      CASE 
         WHEN column3 IN ('S', 'M') 
         THEN 1 
         ELSE CAST(column3 AS int)
      END
   ) AS SumOfColumn3 
FROM 
   sourceTable 
GROUP BY 
   Column1, 
   Column2 
ORDER BY 
   Column1, 
   Column2

can this be used in excel or? how do i run this, im excited cos ive been working so hard for a solution, and once i see how it works i will understand it

This is a sql command that needs to be run through a database connection like odbc or oledb. If your files are Excel, then you will need to establish a connection to them and run this query through the connection.
