I am going mad with this Query. I need to join 3 Tables. Their Formats
are

Plz help Out

The first column in the resultset is ID, but you don't say from which the ID
originates, since there is no such column in any table. Also, you did not
provide INSERT statements of sample data.

I'm afraid that if you want help, you will need to put more effort
into your postings.

It appears that your output produce rows that are not desired, but
you don't give any business rules to select the "first matching row".

What I see is that you have a voucher table, but the same voucher number
can appear more than once. This looks very strange to me, but I don't
know the business domain. Vochers are apparently linked to transactions
by voucher id, and since you use SUM, I assumed that there can be more
than one transction per voucher id.

Anyway, for this type of postings it is recommendable, to post:

1) CREATE TABLE statements for the tables.
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired output given the sample data.
4) A short narrative, describing the business problem.

1 and 2 makes it easy to copy and paste into a query tool to develop
a query, that can be verified against 3.

In a separate post, you posted some sample data, but they are not
related to the desired output above, and furthermore, I cannot see
that there are any matching voucher ids.

Good choice of words! I picked a book on matrix methods for accounting
about 20 years ago and never mimicked double-entry bookkeeping in my
programming again.

What business rules do you have? Based on your data, it looked like you
wanted SUM(Credit - Debit) but the desired output you posted earlier doesn't
match this.

I agree. It's a real challenge trying to divine the business spec from the
data! As it turns out, I'm trying to enter my accounting info into
QuickBooks and we have been the victims of double-entry bookkeeping. :-(

That sum is hopefully always 0, or else something is really broken!

Thanks for the code and tables! I was able to see that the transactions
are fairly standard accounting transactions where for each voucher
the sum of the credit and the debit amounts are the same. However, I
still do not understand the requirements for the required output in
you original posting.

Also, the sample data you posted now, does not appear to be equal with
the data in your original post, so I don't know what the desired output
is for the data you posted now.

So you can explain the business requirements and posted the desired output,
that would make it easier to produce a query.

The required output is the first row created by the data-entry program.

I need to show a list of all the transactions of a particular type.
Also, I need to show the name of the primary ledger that was involved in
the transaction along with the voucherid, voucherdate, ledgername,
transaction amount. I just need the Debit/Credit (Whichever is not Zero)
from the first row from the Transactions table which matches the
VoucherID.

I have bad news for you. That query is not writeable with the tables
you have provided. There is no information in the Transaction table in which
order the rows were entered. Had you been using an numeric artificial key
for the transactions, we could have made a guess. But since GUID are
not ordered, there is not even a trace of information.

Best would of course have been a datetime value. Then again, I would
expect all rows for a voucher to be entered at once. And in any case,
I completely to fail see the point to showing only the first.

Here is a query which does that, except that it does not take the "first
row", but just makes any arbitray choice. It is also likely to have
poor performance, because of the convertion forth and back to varchar
of the GUI,

SELECT v.VoucherID, v.VoucherNo, v.VoucherDate, l.LedgerName,
SUM(t.Credit - t.Debit) AS Amount
FROM Vouchers v
JOIN (SELECT TransactionID =
MIN(convert(varchar(36), TransactionID)),
VoucherID
FROM Transactions
GROUP BY VoucherID) AS t1 ON v.VoucherID = t1.VoucherID
JOIN Transactions t
ON convert(uniqueidentifier, t1.TransactionID) =
t.TransactionID
JOIN Ledgers l ON t.LedgerID = l.LedgerID
WHERE (v.VoucherTypeID = 1)
GROUP BY v.VoucherID, l.LedgerName, v.VoucherDate, v.VoucherNo,
v.VoucherTypeID
ORDER BY v.VoucherID, l.LedgerName, v.VoucherDate, v.VoucherNo
