Re: Can SQL do this?

Thanks to all who have responded thus far.  This is really getting into cutting 
edge (for me)
here.

I got the "Units" column going, that was the easier of the two challenges I 
suspect.

The second challenge, calculating allocation, is a bit trickier and requires a 
better
understanding of what's going on with the GROUP BY, as I'm sure it's what makes 
the "sum" function
do its magic.  

Per this "challenge" and Eric's advice to post the SQL, I am doing so below.  I 
should point out
that I did not have access to the SQL statement when I wrote up my original 
post, which explains
why what appears below is materially different from that original post.  The 
two main challenges
being discussed were presented in both cases.

As I wrote this, I am being questioned by my supervisor about going this 
complex with SQL. 
Continuation of this thread may likely become strictly academic, as nothing 
goes into production
around here without a thorough understanding of the underlying code and an 
agreement that the
other programmers will be able to understand and maintain it as well (as it 
should be).  So, with
that understanding, herewith is the latest version of the SQL I am working with:

SELECT AL3.DMREGCD, AL1.MKISCIBASE, AL1.MKISCINUM, AL1.MKNIELCD,
       AL1.MKCOSTTYPE, AL1.MKDEMOCAT, COUNT (DISTINCT AL2.CYCYSTDT),
       AVG ( AL3.DMTALUNTR ), AVG ( AL3.DMHTALUNTR ), AL3.DMNIELNM,
 case when AL1.MKDEMOCAT = 'H' then AVG( AL3.DMHTALUNTR )
   else AVG( AL3.DMTALUNTR ) end as Units
  FROM ##PFPROD/RTISCMKT AL1
       LEFT OUTER JOIN ##PFPROD/TLCYCDTE AL2 ON
                           (     AL1.MKISCINUM = AL2.CYISCNUM
                             AND AL1.MKMKTCAT  = AL2.CYMKTCAT
                             AND AL1.MKNIELCD  = AL2.CYNIELCD )
       LEFT OUTER JOIN ACPFACC/ACDMACD AL3 ON
                           ( AL1.MKNIELCD  = AL3.DMNIELCD  )
  WHERE (AL1.MKCOSTTYPE = 'T')
  GROUP BY AL1.MKISCIBASE, AL1.MKISCINUM, AL1.MKNIELCD,
           AL3.DMNIELNM, AL1.MKCOSTTYPE, AL1.MKDEMOCAT, AL3.DMREGCD
  ORDER BY  AL3.DMREGCD, AL1.MKISCIBASE

TIA, Dan
