Comparing Data
Kevin Tuttle 
    
4 years ago
I have a supplier table and a product master table.  A couple of suppliers sells the same product. I am attempting to create a query and a report, that shows the last purchase price in order to compare prices. So I can make a weekly order from the least expensive supplier.  Any suggestion's is welcomed.

If they have the same part number, just use an Aggregate Query

Group by the part number, select MIN for the price. That will give you the lowest cost, then use a dlookup expression to tell you what vendor has that price.

Access Expert 7 deals with products from multiple vendors (suppliers).

Adam;

Unfortionatly item numbers are not the same.  Each supplier has there own item number.  I have set up queries to filter each supplier and products but, I cannot figure out how to compare two suppliers in a query or a report.

Kevin -
The vendor PartID can be different as long is your partID is the same for that part.

For instance Vendor 1 might have SG1 for a Seagate 1tb hard drive
Vendor 2 might have 1tSEA for the same drive.

As long as your part number - say HD001 is the same for both it should show up properly.  I'm pretty sure that is discussed in the video that Kevin gave you above.
