Hi

I am generating a pivot table using the following query

SELECT `'1100 REG$'`.`Ap/ArID`, `'1100 REG$'`.Amount
FROM `F:\Finance\Income Reconciliation\2004-05\GL transactions 0405`.`'1100
REG$'` `'1100 REG$'`
UNION
SELECT `'1157 REG$'`.`Ap/ArID`, `'1157 REG$'`.Amount
FROM `F:\Finance\Income Reconciliation\2004-05\GL transactions 0405`.`'1157
REG$'` `'1157 REG$'`
UNION
SELECT `'1165 REG$'`.`Ap/ArID`, `'1165 REG$'`.Amount
FROM `F:\Finance\Income Reconciliation\2004-05\GL transactions 0405`.`'1165
REG$'` `'1165 REG$'`

The problem I am having is that I am getting a difference in the total
amount when the same query is generated individually for 1100 REG, 1157 REG
and 1165REG and aggregated. Why?

Try UNION ALL instead of UNION.

By default, UNION excludes duplicate records. UNION ALL retains the
duplicate values.
