[SOLVED, but caused a new issue] Issue with joining hold files in fex file

Hi all,

I'm trying to join 2 different hold files I'm creating in my fex. The hold files are at different levels. Essentially what I'm trying to do is total up employees billable hours and divide that by the total hours worked. One hold file has the billable hours at the CATEGORY LEVEL and the other has total hours at the employee level. Both hold files are showing the correct data, but when I join those 2 hold files together I'm missing data for some CATEGORIES. There are 2 CATEGORIES and it seems like if both CATEGORIES have hours it shows just the first one that shows on the report. But if the employee just has 1 CATEGORY with hours it shows correctly.

Here is an image of my HOURS report and the PERCENTAGE report. The hours are showing correctly, the percentages aren't. Take a look at the hours image, the person with 169.5 hours under fixed price also has 9.5 hours under T&M. In the Percentages image it's showing the percentage for fixed price correct, but not showing anything for T&M.

Also, is there anyway to debug a join in AppStudio?

Thank you!

I might be wrong but INNER and OUTER JOINs don't really apply to sequential alpha formatted hold files. Have you tried holding these tables FORMAT FOCUS or another DBMS with an index?

Hi BabakNYC,

I moved the hold files to FORMAT FOCUS and I indexed BILLABLE_HOURS, TOTAL_HOURS AND EMPLOYEE and I'm getting the same results.

So I brushed up on my joining in AppStudio, and I wasn't using the MULTIPLE keyword to join. Fun stuff.

Hi BabakNYC,

Now it's skewing my RECOMPUTE. If it has hours for T&M and Fixed Price, it's adding both TOTAL HOURS for the TOTAL of my recompute. I just need one of the TOTALS for the TOTAL percentage calculation. I'm not sure how to deal with this as RECOMPUTE is an information builders function.
