Calculate Relative Totals With Absolute Values
Feb 28, 2015
Have a bit of an SQL challenge in that I need to create a well performing view in SQL2008R2 which calculates hours remaining at any given point in time. This is not a simple sum but has some absolute values included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Basic simplified structure of maintenance and usage tables
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE #Maintenance (Id int NOT NULL
IDENTITY(1, 1)
CONSTRAINT PK_Maintenance PRIMARY KEY,
MaintenanceDate smalldatetime NOT NULL, -- When maintenance hours are reset
HoursAvailable numeric(5, 1) NULL -- Available hours until next maintenance
)
[Code] ....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Required output view so that at any given point in time I can determine hours remaining
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- AtDate HoursAvailable
-- '01-Jan-2015 15:00' NULL -- before first maintenance hence unknown
-- '10-Jan-2015 10:00' 10.1 -- maintenance hours reset
-- '11-Jan-2015 07:30' 8.9 -- subtract 1.2
-- '11-Jan-2015 11:10' 2.9 -- subtract 6.0
-- '15-Jan-2015 00:00' -0.1 -- subtract 3.0
-- '01-Feb-2015 00:00' 12.2 -- maintenance hours reset
-- '02-Feb-2015 13:00' 10.0 -- subtract 2.2

Hi,
I have a table with a BLOB column, and I need to populate this table including the BLOB column (image type in the database).
What I have done is:
1. use a flat file transform to read a .csv file which specifies the names of the files that store the binary contents for the BLOB column for each row.
2. use an Import Column Transform to read the binary files.
3. use an OLE DB Dest transform to dump the data into my destination table.
I got the error saying:
Error: 0xC02090BB at XXXX, Import Column [1]: Opening the file ".diagram1.bin" for reading failed. The file was not found.
I guess this is because my file "diagram1.bin" is not in the current path? (The current path can be found by "System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() call, in my case it is "c:program filesmicrosoft visual studio 0common7IDE".)
My question is: how to determine the directory path information of the package I am running?
Thanks!

how to write condition for self table year records, such 2012 name and acctno match with 2013 name and acctno then total, provided below,
create table #tab1 (MasterKey int, AcctNo varchar(12),name varchar(25), SumaofShares numeric, request_dat datetime )
--drop table #tab1
insert into #tab1 values (1000, 100,'Tom', 2500, '10/01/2012')
insert into #tab1 values (1001, 101,'Bat', 1550, '08/11/2012')
insert into #tab1 values (1002, 102,'Kit', 1600, '06/12/2012')
insert into #tab1 values (1003, 103,'Vat', 1750, '04/15/2012')
insert into #tab1 values (1010, 104,'Sim',200, '04/21/2013')
[code]....
i would like to get 4 columns output
how to get sumofshares (#tab1) and TotalOutStanding(#tab2) summ up with these values,
MasterKey (#tab1) and IssueKey (#tab2) are like primary key and foreign key
so the request is
need to calculate, sumofshares (#tab1) and TotalOutStanding(#tab2) as below
1)ShareBenefist = U and year( request_dat) in (2012 , 2103) and (Name for 2012 should match with 2013 name and 2012 Acctno should match with 2013 accounno) in (#tab1)
then '2012 and 2013 accts UN Veriverted'
2)ShareBenefist = V and year( request_dat) in (2012 , 2103) and (Name for 2012 should match with 2013 name and 2012 Acctno should match with 2013 accounno) in (#tab1)
then '2012 and 2013 accts Veriverted'
3)ShareBenefist = N and year( request_dat) in (2012 , 2103) and (Name for 2012 should match with 2013 name and 2012 Acctno should match with 2013 accounno) in (#tab1)
then '2012 and 2013 accts NONVERT'
4)year( request_dat) =2102 and Name and Acctno not match with 2013 account name and acctno (#tab1)
then '2012 last year accounts'
5)year( request_dat) = 2013 and Name and Acctno not match with 2013 account name and acctno (#tab1)
then '2012 This year accounts'
for ex 1) the below accounts in #tab1 has both 2012 and 2013 and acctno same in both years and name is same in both years so it is condired as
insert into #tab1 values (1012, 100,'Tom',800, '08/22/2013')
for ex 2)
insert into #tab1 values (1013, 101,'Bat',550, '09/15/2013')
for ex 4) 2012 records there is not match acctno and name in 2013 recods
insert into #tab1 values (1002, 102,'Kit', 1600, '06/12/2012')
for ex 5) 2013 records there is no match of name and acct no with 2012 records
insert into #tab1 values (1010, 104,'Sim',200, '04/21/2013')
insert into #tab1 values (1014, 100,'Pet',200, '02/21/2013')
insert into #tab1 values (1016, 110,'Sun',800, '03/22/2013')
insert into #tab1 values (1017, 111,'Bet',550, '12/15/2013')
Expected Results (just for format)
AcctTypeDescription,SumofShares, OtotalutStand
'2012 and 2013 accts UN Veriverted',2700,234
'2012 and 2013 accts Veriverted' ,2890,234
'2012 and 2013 accts NONVERT' ,4533,325

Hello Everyone
I've created a report with a simple dataset that is similar to this
City , RequestID, Request Amount, ClaimID, ClaimAmount
El Monte 791 52,982.00 2157 41,143.75
El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3140 8,231.14
El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3141 990.00
El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3142 2,615.00
So I group by City, RequestID. On the first group I specified the expression to be City and in the header I list the city and in the footer I list the sum of Request amount. On the second group I specified the group by Request so in the header I placed requestID and on the footer I placed Request Amount. I set request information to hide the duplicates and I even add =Sum(Fields!RequestApprovedGrandTotal.Value,"GroupByRequestID") the scope of the group. But this is what I get:
For requestID = 3691 for Request Amount is 35,514.00 not 11,838.00. All the claim sums are correct and they are located on the detail row.
I've read that a work around is to create multiple dataset but I honestly believe that something as simple as this should work on the reporting server 2000. So I've come to the conclusion that I must be doing something wrong. Can someone give me a hand on this. Thanks.

Hi ALL,
I need help in calculating sum of market value based on property_id. The sum should be calculated by finding the average market value for a given property and then sum the individual average of the property to get the Distinct sum.
I have a very little knowlegde in Cubes and analysis services. I need to perform this distinct sum by using calculated members using MDX on SQL server 2000.
Data example
P_Code Cus Prpty_IdMrkt Val
3000 1234 1111 $10,000 $10,000
3000 1234 2222 $20,000
3000 1234 3333 $30,000 $20,000
3000 5678 1111 $10,000
3000 5678 2222 $20,000 $30,000
3000 5678 3333 $30,000
3000 1020 1111 $10,000
3000 1020 3333 $30,000
Distinct Sum $60,000
Thanks in Advance

I have some data grouped in a table by a certain criteria, and for each group it is computed a subtotal for the group. Of the values from each of the group, I want to create a grand total on the report by adding every subtotal from each group.
Example:
...
....
Group1 Value
10
20
Sub Total 1: 30
Group2 Value
15
25
Sub Total 2: 40
Now, I would like to be able to add subtotal 1 (30) to subtotal 2 (40) and my grand total would be 70. Can I accomplish this task in SSRS?

I am trying to create a report in SRS that will calculate a Composite Score based on the Sum of other scores and then that Sum is divided by 12.

I am building a customerlist within the customer sales of a period. I have a dataset with two tables: "customer" and "customer_ledger_entry".
In the report I will present the customer number, the customer name and the sales. The problem is the sales value is not available as a field, but I have to calculate this value from the "customer_ledger_entry" table. In this table are several entries (invoices, credit notes, etc.)
How to calculate the values from a underlying table?

I'm using this query to to calculate yearly finance values.
select [Year],[FinanceValue-2014],[FinanceValue-2013],[FinanceValue-2012],[FinanceValue- 2014]-[FinanceValue-2013] as [FinanceValue Variance]
Now I need to multiply the [FinanceValue Variance] * 2.50 and for that how can I use the alias name as column in the query. I tried this but it says invalid column name.
select [Year],[FinanceValue-2014],[FinanceValue-2013],[FinanceValue-2012],[FinanceValue- 2014]-[FinanceValue-2013] as [FinanceValue Variance], [FinanceValue Variance] * 2.50 as [NewVariance] from Finance
SumofVariance output will be like 5690.5893656 Also how can I show the SumofVariance to round off 4 decimal places like this 5690.5894.

This code displays dates, File name, and File size for four seperate dates 11/20/2007 , 11/30/2007, 12/30/2007 and 01/31/2007 . I'm trying to show the percentage growth from date to date (ie 11/20/2007 -11/30/2007 percentage growth)
is there a way i can get the previous date file size for each entry, so i can have a variable for the calculation. Or i can get the calculate it within this code (ie database_size_mb / ((database_size_md ) where database_size_datetime -1) *100
or whatever the formula is for percentage growth.

SELECT
Database_Size_Datetime,
Database_file_name,
Database_Size_Mb

GROUP BY Database_Size_Datetime, Database_file_name, Database_Size_Mb

I have been providing sales data for a few months now from a table that is set up like this:
Date WorkDay GasSales EquipmentSales
9/1/2006 1 100.00 200.00
9/4/2006 2 50.00 45.00
etc.
As can be seen, the data is daily, i.e., on the first workday of September we sold one hundred dollars in gas and two hundred dollars in equipment. On the second workday of September we sold fifty dollars in gas and forty-five dollars in equipment.
Now, however, the data I have to pull from is cumulative. So, using the last table as an example it would look like this:
Date_WorkDay_GasSales_EquipmentSales
9/1/2006 1 100.00 200.00
9/4/2006 2 150.00 245.00
etc.
To make things more complicated, the powers that be wanted this data presented in this fashion:
Total Sales:
1_2_etc.
300.00 95.00 etc.
So, I have been doing a pivot on a CRT to get the data to look like I want. The code is like this:
with SalesCTE (Month, WorkDay, [Total Sales])
as
(
SELECT
datename(month, cag.date),
cag.WorkDay AS [Work Day],
sum(cag.sales_gas + cag.sales_hgs) AS [Total Sales]
FROM CAG INNER JOIN
Branch ON CAG.[Oracle Branch] = Branch.OracleBranch
group by cag.date, cag.WorkDay
)
select * from SalesCTE
pivot
(
sum([Total Sales])
for WorkDay
in ([1],[2],[3],[4],[5],,[7],,[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23])
) as p
So, my question is:
How do I get the data to give back daily totals instead of the cumulative amounts for each workday? If the query was a simple one, I'd do something like
select [1] as [Day 1], [2]-[1] as [Day 2], [3]-[2] as [Day 3], etc.
but the query is far from normal, with the CRT and the pivot. I can't seem to get it to work how I'd like.
Any advice/answers? Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. I don't know how to get it to quit with the freakin' smileys.... I suppose you can figure out what my code is really supposed to look like above. Needless to say, it doesn't include a devil face and a damn music note...

I am trying to create a procedure which will calculate the total tuition
This process involves 3 tables.
Contract table has tuition information which is all $100 (set price).
Discount table has discount type and discount percentage (ex. 0.3) on each discount type.
ContractDiscount table have contract number and discount number to connect both tables
I think I need to create a loop since some contract gets more than one discount.
I have to calculate and get result nee to be like this
total_tuition = (tuition - discountPer * tuition) - this has to be a loop condition
Do you have any suggestion ?

I am trying to write a query to calculate the running difference between data on different dates. Below is what my table of data looks like. Basically I want to calculate the difference between the total_completed for each state and date.
DateStatesTotal_Completed

09/11/15CA 26,336
10/02/15CA 35,444

08/27/15CO2797
09/11/15CO3264
10/02/15CO4270
10/08/15CO4297
below is what I am trying to achieve:
DateStatesTotal_CompletedCompleted_Difference
08/27/15CA 19,952 0
09/11/15CA 26,336 6,384
10/02/15CA 35,444 9,108
10/08/15CA 38,278 2,834

09/11/15CO3264467
10/02/15CO42701,006
10/08/15CO429727
below is my code (I almost have what I need) I just can't figure out how show 0 as the completed_difference for the first Date for each state since there is no prior date to calculate against.
MRR_TOTALS_WEEK_OVER_WEEK AS
(
SELECT
T1.[Date]
,T1.States
,T2.Total_Completed
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY T1.States ORDER BY T1.States,T1.[Date]) AS ORDERING
FROM TOTAL_CHARTS T1
LEFT JOIN TOTAL_COMPLETED T2 ON T1.[Date] = T2.[Date] AND T1.States = T2.States
)

I'm trying to create a WHERE statement that will calculate values from our current fiscal year to the last complete month.I'm using code that was created for us that does the calculations for our entire fiscal years. I thought I had fixed the WHERE statement to work like we wanted last year, but it appears to be broken now after trying it again in January and February. I'm guessing my WHERE statement only works for March and up, but how to get it to work for every month. Most attempts I'm trying it's just returning very large and inaccurate values.
I included my WHERE statement below of what I originally had that worked last year. The @BeginYear/Month/etc are retrieved from a different table and @Month is just set to MONTH(GETDATE())-1.
WHERE
(YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@BeginYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@BeginMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@Month)
OR
(YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@EndYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@EndMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@Month)

Does anyone know how I can get just one record returned from a select statement - not by doing set rowcount, but saying I want, for example the third record returned.
I'm trying to do a stored procedure that does a select of current records that will reduce the output to roughly 24 records and then get a random record from this - I need to do it all in a stored procedure.
What I have so far is :
BEGIN
DECLARE @Count int
DECLARE @RowCount int
DECLARE @IDint
/* Randomise the Data */
SELECT @Count = Count(*) FROM MyTable WHERE fRotation = 1
SELECT @ID = Rand() * @Count
END
As you can see, @ID will hold a record no.
I cant use batch cursors as they are giving me problems - work for a short while and then they mess up.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

I create the cube and KPI successfully.Now want to define the "trend" in MDX.the problem is the trend is not linear, but a quadradic function, which means the kpi target is the highest point in the function.in order to get the "trend expression", to get the "absolute value" is needed (as to measure how near to the target point).but i browsed the operators available, there is no ||.

I'm almost embarassed to ask such a simple question but I'm pretty new to SQL and want to the do the following SQL select. I have two tables:
WORK ORDER HEADER DETAILS (WORKH)
WorkOrderNumber | CustomerNumber | StartDate | EndDate
WORK ORDER LINES (WORKD)
WorkOrderNo | Service
I want to select all customer numbers that have a work order that includes a line with the service code XXXXX and a start date of YYYYYY and end date of ZZZZZZ. Note that the first field in each table contains the same data but is named differently. It's this that's causing me a headache.
Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded and installed Visual Basic Express Edition and SQL Server Express Edition. All I have in the Start menu is SQL Configuration Tools. My absolutely stupid question is, how do I get started with this?
I know a little bit about SQL from using SQL command line in Oracle, and I've built small databases before using Access. Where does this program fit into all of that? And what do I use and how can I get started with this program?

Seems to me like microsoft mentions learning, but it's never for beginners. I haven't found a single tutorial that says how to make a simple database step by step.
Does anybody know about a tutorial focused on teaching the very basics (a kind of "hello world" application) from setting up the new database with a few sample fields to "deploying" it (making it ready to be used)?
Please let me know.
Once I'm through with these first steps there seems to be a lot of helpful learning resources meant for experienced and expert users, but I'm not there yet...
Thanks,
Bernardo

Hi all,
I'm a user interface designer working for a small development shop in a government agency. My boss feels it would help our team out if I learned a bit more programming (I'm on that already in VS2k8, VB.NET), and some general database theory and practical knowledge. The more I learn about programming, the more my utter ignorance of databases proves to be an obstacle. We use SQL2k5, so I've decided to cut my teeth on that; I don't have the free time to learn something simpler and then graduate to SQL, so it is what it is.
So, I'm looking for a "Dumb Even for a Dummy" guide to database fundamentals, with a strong emphasis on SQL in particular. I slogged through the first 30 pages of this forum and found a couple of MSDN resources but nothing stuck me as being basic enough. I'm hoping someone can provide me with some "Go here, newb" resources to get me started.
Thanks in advance!

Can my program with SQL database run correctly on another com using win xp home edition, with only C# 2005 EE installed?

when i put a table beside 2 graphs on my report, as the table expands it pushs the bottom table down ONLY when when it's displayed on the final webpage. the preview features shows it as being correct.
how do i prevent the expanding table from pushing the tables BESIDE it down? i could understand if it was a table below it, but it's not.

Hello there...
Pending receiving the full version from the higher powers at my work, I have downloaded the Evaluation version of SQL 2000, and set up an instance on my desktop machine. This was set up on an administrator account, and works fine.
My main aim with SQL 2000 is to upsize all the companies piddling little Access 97 databases into an SQL backend and keep the 97 frontends. I have migrated some of the tablesets into SQL, and linked to them in Access 97 and they work fine.
However, the problems are when I try and set up ODBC. When I enter ODBC as a different user on the server itself, the ODBC list of available SQL Servers shows me the correct server information - my PC ID no, followed by the server name. However, when I try and connect with another machine on the network, it only displays the PC ID no of the server, and not the server name. When I attempt to add the server with just the PC name, it doesnt find the server - same when I add the name of the database to the end of the PC ID no.
I'm sure there is something really basic I have not done, but I'm totally stumped now. I am using Windows Auth, and have set up the login of the other PC I am trying to connect, as an authorised user.
Please help me - I am just a doofus, please feel free to laugh at me...

We have a growing issue where we have a relative dtsconfig file (which stores the absolute base path of the ETL packages). This way we can keep the ETL projects failry portable - only having to modify one value in the dtsconfig file. The master package that defines the dtsconfig location (which is config/Default.dtsconfig) usually interpretates this location to be relative the project. The problem is that every now and again when you open this package in .NETStudio, the path is interpreted differently and causes: config/Default.dtsconfig to state invalid path. But when we delete the variable (which defines the dtsconfig path), save/close and open/recreate it works again. This may or may not be supported MS method, but I was curious to know why this gets messed up. Is there somehwere in the .NET framework that defines what "/" is relatively under?
For example: Our absolute config path is "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesETLProjectETLBaseconfigDefault.dtsconfig" but using: "config/Default.dtsconfig" for xml file value works. However, sometimes we will get an error stating that this file cannot be found, and when we just try to delete (without saving and closing) and immediatelly try to put "config/Default.dtsconfig" again and hit next, we get an error and the path is now:
'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesDEVDataExchangeETLBaseconfigconfigDefault.dtsconfig'.
Ideas?
