How to Calculate a Distinct Count by Customer and Partner in SQL

This Word guide explains how to calculate a Distinct Count by Customer and Partner in SQL. Begin by keeping the source table at one row per CustID, Partner, and EdiToDoNo instead of pre-expanding numbered columns. The next decision comes from the second check: in SQL, group by the requested filter grain and calculate COUNT(DISTINCT EdiToDoNo).

What You Need Before You Calculate a Distinct Count by Customer and Partner in SQL

The scope is defined by the exact Word account, platform, file location, and control named in the workflow. Keep the test on the affected item, and use the result of the first two checks before changing a broader setting.

The Exact Word Workflow

Follow these steps in order. If a step changes data, permissions, authentication, or a subscription, record the current state first and keep a recoverable copy or backup method.

1. Keep the source table at one row per CustID, Partner, and EdiToDoNo instead of pre-expanding numbered columns.
2. In SQL, group by the requested filter grain and calculate COUNT(DISTINCT EdiToDoNo).
3. When multiple partners are selected, calculate the distinct count after both filters so repeated order numbers count once.
4. Validate C1 alone, C1 with P1 and P2, and C2 against the expected counts 3, 3, and 1.

Confirm the Calculate a Distinct Count by Customer and Partner in SQL Result

Repeat the original Word action with the same account, file, and device. A successful result means the reported symptom no longer appears, the intended setting persists after reopening, and no unrelated file, user, or subscription has changed.
