How to calculate category value - perhaps use subqueries?

Hello all - I am trying to create a view that will calculate a category fiel
d
value based on several conditions regarding another field.
i.e. having a table PayCodes (employeeID, paycode)
employeeID paycode
--
1 01
1 02
1 02S
1 03S
1 71
2 01
2 02S
2 71
3 02
3 03H
4 01
4 02
I need to create a view that will output employeeID and overtimeType where
overtimeType = 1 if an employeeID has 02S or 02H
overtimeType = 2 if an employeeID has 03S or 03H
overtimeType = 3 if an employeeID has (02S or 02H) and (03S or 03H)
overtimeType = 0 if an employeeID has none of 02S, 02H, 03S, 03H
So given the above table, the view should return:
employeeID overtimeType
--
1 3
2 1
3 2
4 0
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Hellman,
I just posted a reply to your question in the .mseq group.
Please post your questions to one group only. And if you really feel
that a question fits two groups, use the crossposting ability of your
software to post one message to both groups at once, so that others will
see if there's already a reply in the other group, and we have all
reactions in one thread.
Best, Hugo
