What it does

SQL Code Explanation

Overview

This SQL code retrieves data from a table named [Util Selection 0], filters it based on a specific condition, and rearranges the output columns to display part numbers in a unique format.

Column Transformations

The code performs two transformations on the PartNumber column:

• Left Transformation: The Left$([PartNumber],7) function extracts the first 7 characters from the PartNumber. This is used as the prt alias.
• Right Transformation: The Right$([PartNumber],1) function extracts the last character from the PartNumber. This is used as the Rev alias.

Data Filtering

The code filters the data in [Util Selection 0] table to only include rows where the Flag column value is equal to "1". The filtered data is stored in a temporary table named [Util Selection 1].

Sorting and Ordering

After filtering, the code sorts the data in ascending order by the Left$([PartNumber],7) transformed part numbers (prt) and then in descending order by the Right$([PartNumber],1) transformed character (Rev).

SQL Code Breakdown

Step	SQL Command	Description
1	SELECT Left$([PartNumber],7) AS prt, Right$([PartNumber],1) AS Rev	Extracts the first 7 characters and last character from the PartNumber.
2	INTO [Util Selection 1]	Stages the data into a temporary table named [Util Selection 1].
3	FROM [Util Selection 0]	Specifies the original table as the source of the data.
4	WHERE ((([Util Selection 0].Flag)="1"))	Filters the data to only include rows where the Flag column value is "1".
5	ORDER BY Left$([PartNumber],7), Right$([PartNumber],1) DESC	Sorts the filtered data in ascending order by the transformed part numbers (prt) and then in descending order by the transformed character (Rev).

Example Use Case

This SQL code can be used in a scenario where you need to:

• Filter and transform data related to parts with specific properties (e.g., flagged as "1").
• Rearrange the output columns to display part numbers in a unique format.
• Sort the filtered data based on both transformed columns.
