Dynamics AX 2012 Advanced filter with sql statement; outer join

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

I would like to use the advanced filtering function to find records that has no transactions in another table. Example; filter transactions in SalesAgreementHeader that is not yet confirmed. This means that there is no transaction in the SalesAgreementHeaderHistory. I found below sql example to find transactions in the CustTable even if there is no match in SalesTable.

 SELECT * FROM CUSTTABLE

       OUTER JOIN SALESTABLE ON SALESTABLE.CUSTACCOUNT = CUSTTABLE.ACCOUNTNUM

       AND SALESTABLE.CURRENCYCODE = 'EUR'

First i wonder what the syntax is to enter this in the advanced filter function; if it is possible at all. Secondly what must I add to ONLY find the transactions that have no match in the SalesAgreementHeaderHistory table (or SalesTable with the above example given).

    you must use the not exists join as in the example shown.

    while select AccountNum, Name from custTable

       order by AccountNum

       notExists join * from ctr

       where (ctr.AccountNum ==

           custTable.AccountNum)

    Refer here for more sql syntax

    Thanks but how would the example look in the advanced filter function? I would like to, as a normal user, enter and save the filter to find transactions with no transactions in the "sister" table.

    Enter the query as an SQL statement between parenthesis.

    For example, (datasource.Fieldname!= "A")

    I tried "EXISTS" and "IN", both didn't work for me. (But you might want to give it a try anyway in case the problem was on my side. )

    Cheers
