I have the description column in 2 different table and i also want only the first record in job_material for each pid in job_material table to be displayed in the excel.

The column 'description' was specified multiple times for 't'. Invalid column name 'id'.

I have five table namely

job 2 job_cylinder
job_die
job_ink
job_material
I am trying to export data from this five (5)table into excel, screen shot below

https://ctrl.vi/i/Ggl5CWCg6

What I want

https://ctrl.vi/i/oCmjz_lhi

please note that

the id in the job table(j) is the pid in the cylinder table (c) (inner join job_cylinder c on j.id =c.pid)
the dierefernceno in the job table (j) the id in job_die table (d) ( inner join job_die d on j.dierefernceno=d.id)
the id in the job table(j) is the pid in the job_ink table (i) (inner join job_ink i on j.id =i.pid)
the id in the job table(j) is the pid in the job_material table (m) (inner join job_material m on j.id =m.pid

What I have tried:

This is the mssqlcode with the raw data in it,so that you can just run the code in your mssql machine so as to see the error first hand.

This is the Default3.aspx Code which is the code in the front end.It contains only the export button.The idea is that on button click it export data from all the 5 tables using inner join unto an excel file.

Please note that I only need the first record in the material table.

I'm not about to load up a database and run your script. What I will do is offer tips to debug your issue.

First thing is to simplify the db access - use a View. Here is a great article that covers this topic: SQL View – A complete introduction and walk-through - SqlShack[^]

Once the view returns normalised data (query result) in your view, you can then do a simple Select * from [view_name].

Now you can debug the code that works with Excel.
