Report to exclude entries where on id could have multiple statuses.

Question

Hi ,
I have a table where it keeps record of a status number and a corresponding r_number(report number) where one r_number could have multiple amount of statuses.
As shown below.
id     r_number     Sta      date     setupby
1     1111     2     11/11/2006     me
12     4444     2     11/11/2006     me
34     3333     2     11/11/2006     me
2     1111     5     11/11/2006     me
5     1111     3     11/11/2006     me
8     2222     4     11/11/2006     me
I want to pick
Select r_number, stat
From table1
Where stat = 2
And stat !=4
Group by r_number.
So that it’ll be displaying on the report:
id     r_number     Staus_id      date     setupby
12     3333     2     11/11/2006     me
5     1111     3     11/11/2006     me
So it only pick the r_number where only status_id is 2, (if there was a status_id 4 corresponding to the r_number it omits taking that record even though there was a status_id 2)
Please let me know a way I could approach this. (Hope my explanation making sense)
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I think this should explain better. sorry for the trouble
Behavior: Selects all records from r_number [table1] where,
     Stat [2] exist in the r_number status history AND
     Stat Name [4] does not exist in the r_number status history
Output:
     Column Headings
1.     Name
2.     R_Number
3.     Title
4.     Date
5.     Award
6.     Agency
Table 1
ID     R_Number     Stat     date     setup_by
12     1111     2     11/11/2006     m
23     2222     4     11/11/2006     m
54     1111     3     11/11/2006     m
54     1111     5     11/11/2006     m
876     3333     2     11/11/2006     m
89     4444     4     11/11/2006     m
Table1.id = table2.id (since the above columns are coming from another table)
And the report out put
ID R_Number     Stat     date     name     Project title award     
12 1111     2     11/11/2006 joe     project1     j33     
876 3333     2     11/11/2006 kim     project2     k11
