I’m a newbie at MS Access and need some help. I have a table that looks like this:
ID | HDD | CDD | HDDKEY | CDDKEY |
---|---|---|---|---|
186 | -1 | -1 | 1 | 5 |
and would like the following:
ID | HDD | CDD | KEY |
---|---|---|---|
186 | -1 | 0 | 1 |
186 | 0 | -1 | 5 |
My code -that does not work:
x
SELECT
TABL1.ID,
TABL1.HDD,
TABL1.CDD,
'KEY' = HDDKEY
FROM TABL1
UNION ALL
SELECT
TABL1.ID,
TABL1.HDD,
TABL1.CDD,
'KEY' = CDDKEY
FROM TABL1
WHERE (((TABL.ID)=18676));```
Thank you!

Answer
You are close
SELECT TABL1.ID, TABL1.HDD, 0 AS CDD, HDDKEY as [Key]
FROM TABL1
WHERE ID = 186
UNION ALL
SELECT TABL1.ID, 0 AS HDD, TABL1.CDD, CDDKEY as [Key]
FROM TABL1
WHERE ID = 186;
Note that KEY
is a poor name for a column because it is a SQL keyword.
