  • Question

  • User389883181 posted

    I have looked all over the web (well most of it :-) and can't find the answer so....

    I have a gridview with data from an access database THIS NOT AN SQL DATABASE.

    I want to group the gridview by one of the fields.

    Does anyone have a link to any site with instructions on how to do this for with an access database NOT SQL Server.

    Thanks

    It would be something like this (to sort on Shop_type)

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
    <title>Untitled 1</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    
        </style>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    
    <asp:GridView runat="server" id="GridView1"  AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1">
    	<Columns>
    		<asp:boundfield  DataField="Shop_type" HeaderText="Shop Type" SortExpression="Shop_type">
    		</asp:boundfield>
    		<asp:boundfield DataField="Shop_name" HeaderText="Shop name" InsertVisible="False" SortExpression="Shop_name">
    		</asp:boundfield>
    	</Columns>
    	</asp:GridView>
    	
    	<asp:AccessDataSource ID="AccessDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="Shops.mdb" SelectCommand="SELECT [Shop_Type], [Shop_name] FROM [tableshops] ORDER BY [Shop_name]">
    	</asp:AccessDataSource>
    
    </form>
    </body>
    
    </html>

    You certainly can group by in MS Access. what you have to do is first group by then order by. here is an example:

    "SELECT Title, Count(Title) AS Tally FROM Employees WHERE Region = 'WA' GROUP BY Title ORDER BY Title;"

    For more details, please refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb177905(v=office.12).aspx

    So in your case:

    SELECT [Shop_Type], [Shop_name] FROM [tableshops] GROUP BY [Shop_name] ORDER BY [Shop_name]

    That should work.
