Title: Can the aggregated result of a query be used in another query?
Post by: seballen on 08 Feb 2012 08:46:04 PM
Hello,

Can I calculate the Total of some count or sum in one query and then just save that number as a variable to be used in additional queries?

Thanks,
Sasha

Theoretically only by joining queries locally and using the resulting set to perform calc.  However, I think you are after another mechanism..
