Retrieve multiple values from sub-query in MS Access

I have a table (SPG) with person (DonorID), dates of Donation (DonateDate) and place of Donation (Center). I would like to find the date & place of a donation (easy), then the date and place of the next donation, with the gap between the two dates.



I have used a SELECT subquery which gives me the next date (NextDate) but I can't then get the matching Center:



SELECT SPG.DonorID,
SPG.DonateDate,
SPG.Center AS Center1,
(SELECT Min(DonateDate) as MinDate
FROM SPG As A
WHERE SPG.DonorID = A.DonorID
AND A.DonateDate > SPG.DonateDate) AS NextDate,
[NextDate]-[DonateDate] AS Gap
FROM SPG
GROUP BY SPG.DonorID, SPG.DonateDate, SPG.Center
HAVING ((((SELECT Min(DonateDate) as MinDate
FROM SPG As A
WHERE SPG.DonorID = A.DonorID
AND A.DonateDate > SPG.DonateDate))<>""))
ORDER BY SPG.DonorID, SPG.DonateDate;


I have a different INNER JOIN query which gives me the Center but it returns all future donations, not just the next one:



SELECT A.DonorID,
A.DonateDate,
A.Center,
Min(B.DonateDate) AS NextDate,
B.Center,
[B].[DonateDate]-[A].[DonateDate] AS Gap
FROM SPG AS A INNER JOIN SPG AS B ON A.DonorID = B.DonorID
WHERE B.DonateDate > A.DonateDate
GROUP BY A.DonorID,
A.DonateDate,
A.Center,
B.Center,
B.DonateDate-A.DonateDate;


Basically, I can't seem to combine the Min() command from the sub-query with returning more than field from a JOIN.



(Please excuse the different notation - lots of copying & pasting of trial code)

          One of the SQL gods here may know of a cleaner way, but this is all I have at present:



          select 
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate,
          s1.center as center1,
          (
          select min(s2.donatedate)
          from spg s2
          where s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate and s1.donorid = s2.donorid
          ) as nextdate,
          (
          select s2.center
          from spg s2
          where
          s1.donorid = s2.donorid and
          s2.donatedate =
          (
          select min(s3.donatedate)
          from spg s3
          where s1.donatedate < s3.donatedate and s1.donorid = s3.donorid
          )
          ) as center2,
          nextdate - s1.donatedate as gap
          from
          spg s1
          order by
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate




          And if you're only after those records which have a 'next' donation date, perhaps:



          select 
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate,
          s1.center as center1,
          (
          select min(s2.donatedate)
          from spg s2
          where s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate and s1.donorid = s2.donorid
          ) as nextdate,
          (
          select s2.center
          from spg s2
          where
          s1.donorid = s2.donorid and
          s2.donatedate =
          (
          select min(s3.donatedate)
          from spg s3
          where s1.donatedate < s3.donatedate and s1.donorid = s3.donorid
          )
          ) as center2,
          nextdate - s1.donatedate as gap
          from
          spg s1
          where exists
          (select 1 from spg s2 where s1.donorid = s2.donorid and s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate)
          order by
          s1.donorid,

            Thanks @Lee Mac, That's absolutely spot on! I had got as far as managing 'a' Center but it was the 'current' one, not the next one. The sub-sub-query completely sorted it. And I am only interested in records with a 'next' date - I had solved it previously but with a much more clunky DonateDate <> "". I can go to bed happy now!

          One of the SQL gods here may know of a cleaner way, but this is all I have at present:



          select 
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate,
          s1.center as center1,
          (
          select min(s2.donatedate)
          from spg s2
          where s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate and s1.donorid = s2.donorid
          ) as nextdate,
          (
          select s2.center
          from spg s2
          where
          s1.donorid = s2.donorid and
          s2.donatedate =
          (
          select min(s3.donatedate)
          from spg s3
          where s1.donatedate < s3.donatedate and s1.donorid = s3.donorid
          )
          ) as center2,
          nextdate - s1.donatedate as gap
          from
          spg s1
          order by
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate




          And if you're only after those records which have a 'next' donation date, perhaps:



          select 
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate,
          s1.center as center1,
          (
          select min(s2.donatedate)
          from spg s2
          where s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate and s1.donorid = s2.donorid
          ) as nextdate,
          (
          select s2.center
          from spg s2
          where
          s1.donorid = s2.donorid and
          s2.donatedate =
          (
          select min(s3.donatedate)
          from spg s3
          where s1.donatedate < s3.donatedate and s1.donorid = s3.donorid
          )
          ) as center2,
          nextdate - s1.donatedate as gap
          from
          spg s1
          where exists
          (select 1 from spg s2 where s1.donorid = s2.donorid and s1.donatedate < s2.donatedate)
          order by
          s1.donorid,
          s1.donatedate


          I heard you like correlated subqueries...

            Thanks @Lee Mac, That's absolutely spot on! I had got as far as managing 'a' Center but it was the 'current' one, not the next one. The sub-sub-query completely sorted it. And I am only interested in records with a 'next' date - I had solved it previously but with a much more clunky DonateDate <> "". I can go to bed happy now!
