Sep 8, 2013select Doctor, count(monthyear)- count(paidinfull) as Patients
from tableA
where paidinfull = 'YES'
group by doctor
So I have a table like
Doctors Patients
------ --------
Burns 12
White 7
where Doctors is a group by from tableA and Patients is a result of the row count of paidinfull = yes minus the rowcount of monthyear.
SQL CASE Output COUNT Into Two Columns
Aug 27, 2007Hi Everyone,
I am trying to do a query where I need to use as little C# as possible to build my gridview. Basically I have a column called statusID. There are about 15 options for this column but I only want to count certain ones. I want to count when statusID = 3 and output that into a column called "fullUnitsUsed" but when the value is 4 or > 13 I want it to count and put the result into a column called "halfUnitsUsed". I also want it to count based on the month. To accomplish this I have used CASE and GROUP BY. This has worked to some extent. Currently if I COUNT for one month I get the correct number of fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed used for January. Unfortunately the query returns 2 records for the month. The first one has a value for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed is NULL, the second record has fullUnitsUsed as NULL and halfUnitsUsed has the correct value. I was hoping to output one record where both fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed have data. My other problem is that if I test for the entire year (which is what this query is supposed to do) there are 5 records returned for each month, 3 of the records have fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed both as NULL and for the other 2, one has fullUnitsUsed with data and the other has halfUnitsUsed with data and the other column in both records is NULL. The values for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed are counted for the entire year as well, which I only want it to count based on each month. Below is my query, any suggestions about how to approach this will be greatly appreciated. If any clarification is needed please let me know. Again if I could get this to work completely with SQL and not need to use any more C# than I have to it would be preferable.
SELECT People.lastName + ', ' + People.firstName AS fullName, Property.Name, NYSDDSORegion.Description, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 3 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS fullUnitsUsed,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 4 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 14 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 15 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 16 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 17 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 18 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 19 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 20 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS halfUnitsUsed
FROM Attend INNER JOIN People ON Attend.personID = People.personID
INNER JOIN Property ON Attend.propertyID = Property.propertyID
INNER JOIN NYSDDSORegion ON Property.RegionID = NYSDDSORegion.RegionID
CROSS JOIN OpenDays
WHERE (Attend.attendDate BETWEEN '1/1/2007' AND '12/31/2007')
GROUP BY Property.Name, People.lastName, NYSDDSORegion.Description, People.firstName, OpenDays.monthID, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays, Attend.statusID

Sep 2, 2015I'm working on a data analysis involving a table with a large number of records (close to 2 million). I'm using only three of the columns in the table and basically am grouping results based on different criteria. The three columns are PWSID, Installation and AccountType. I have to Provide the PWSID column with a count of the total number of installations per PWSID, also a count of AccountTypes per PWSID.

SQL Count Records Based On 2 Columns
Oct 15, 2007Newbie alrt...
I am trying to create an asp page that will update an Access 2000 database. I need to update records if the user exists and create a new record if the user does not exist. Most of the variables are pulled from a separate "post" form.
I am using 2 pieces of info to find duplicates, as employee numbers can be assigned to multiple employees. Right now I have the page check for a duplicate employee id number then check for a duplicate last name. Unfortunately it is running each check separately, so if the last name is duplicated anywhere, it is sending a duplicated value.
here is the chunk of code in question... all RF_variables are request.form variables
cnt="SELECT COUNT(emp_id) AS Xnum FROM " & RF_course
cnt=cnt & " WHERE emp_id='" & RF_emp_id & "'"
set again=conn.Execute(cnt)
dup=again("Xnum")
if dup>=1 then
cnt="SELECT COUNT(lname) AS Xnum FROM " & RF_course
cnt=cnt & " WHERE lname='" & RF_lname & "'"
set again=conn.Execute(cnt)
dupl=again("Xnum")
if dupl=1 then
upd="UPDATE " & RF_course & " SET "
upd=upd & "section" & RF_section & "='" & RF_score & "'"
upd=upd & " WHERE emp_id='" & RF_emp_id & "'"
upd=upd & " AND lname='" & RF_lname & "'"
on error resume next
conn.Execute upd

Row Count Task, What Is Input Columns Tab For?
May 15, 2008I'm using a Row Count Task to count the number of records passing thru a particular path in my data flow. I created a package variable and referenced this variable in the Components Properties tab in the Row Count Task. I believe this is the minimum I need to do to get the row count.
However, as I explore the other tabs in the editor, I see there is something called Input Columns tab. What is this for? I didn't select anything in there and things are working fine. At first I thought that I had to choose the columns that I want to have available to me for further processing after the Row Count Task, but this isn't the case. I am able to see all my columns coming out of the Row Count Task even tho I didn't do anything in the Input Columns tab.
So, what is this setting for?

Retrieve Columns And Display Count For Two Different Data Sources
Jan 19, 2012I am using Query Writer (should be SQL 2005) and have included the following code.
The end result: -should retrieve columns and display the count for two different data sources that were added by personnel in a specific department.
Problem: results are returned but not accurate. The code below works just fine and returns the results for all spot buy orders added by personnel in the sales department. However, I want to add a column in the same report that also counts blanket orders from the exact same table added by personnel in the sales department. The database uses views (v) in lieu of dbo.
Parameters:
@Add_Date_From SMALLDATETIME='',
@Add_Date_To SMALLDATETIME='',
@Last_name VARCHAR(50)='',
@First_Name VARCHAR(50)=''
Query:
SELECT
T1.Last_name,
T1.First_name,
T2.Position,
T3.Add_date,
COUNT(T4.PO_Type) AS 'Spot Buy Added'
[Code] ....
If I substitute COUNT(T4.PO_Type) AS 'Spot Buy Added' with COUNT(T4.PO_Type) AS 'Blanket Added' I also get accurate results for the blanket order. IE separately they work just fine. If I try to combine the two that is where the trouble begins.
What am I doing incorrectly when I try to add the criteria/code for the additional column to count the blanket orders?
Using COUNT Function On Multiple Columns With GROUP BY Restrictions
Mar 10, 2014Consider the following dataset:
COL1 | COL2 | COL3 | COL4
1 | FD | DR. A | Y
2 | FD | DR. A | Y
3 | FD | DR. A | N
4 | FD | DR. A | Y
5 | FD | DR. A | Y
6 | PF | DR. A | Y
7 | FD | DR. B | Y
8 | PF | DR. B | N
Consider the script below:
SELECT
COL2, COL3, COUNT(COL1) AS TOTALS
FROM CASES
GROUP BY COL2, COL3
ORDER BY COL3, COL2
The script above produces the following output:
COL2 | COL3 | TOTALS
FD | DR. A | 5
PF | DR. A | 1
FD | DR. B | 1
PF | DR. B | 1
I need to add one more column to the script that counts records with 'Y' in COL4 for each COL1 category (FD, PF). The final dataset would look like this:
COL2 | COL3 | TOTALS | NEWCOL
FD | DR. A | 5 | 4
PF | DR. A | 1 | 1
FD | DR. B | 1 | 1
PF | DR. B | 1 | 0
I am having a hard time trying to use COUNT() on multiple columns with the GROUP BY restrictions that exist.

DTS Transfer Into A Excel Spreadsheet
Dec 28, 2000I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?

Jan 9, 2007I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.

DTS Help With Uploading An Excel Spreadsheet
Apr 4, 2007Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.

File And Spreadsheet Frustration
Jan 5, 2007Hi,
Two problems / questions I could do with some help on please......
1). How do you clear a spreadsheet before loading it ? I am sending a spreadsheet by Email on a regual basis. Each time I run my SSIS package the data is appended to that of the previous run. I need just the contents of this data load to populate the spreadsheet each time. I have tried various methods / techniques for achieveing this so I just need to know the accepted method. Sorry if this is very basic ( as it should be ?!) but I seem to be missing the point somewhere.
2). I have tried to resolve issue 1 above by having an empty 'template' spreadsheet and copying that one over the top of the previously populated one. I get an error saying that the source spreadsheet ..'is in use by another processes.' Amusingly, as a test, I can delete it but I cannot copy it !
Are there any decent workthroughs on working with destination excel speadhseets ? Im struggling.
Thanks,
Jon
RS2k Issue: PDF Exporting Report With Hidden Columns, Stretches Visible Columns And Misplaces Columns On Spanned Page
Dec 13, 2007Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
Import Excel Spreadsheet To Sql Database
Mar 26, 2008Hi there,
I am able to import an excel spreadsheet into a table in sql server 2005 using SqlBulkCopy. The only thing that bothers me here is how to check duplicate entries and throw an error to the user regarding the duplicate entries. In the table in sql, there is no primary keys. There are five columns and the way I will have to find the duplicates is to match all those 5 columns. Since the excel spreadsheet can have 40 to 500 entries, how can I check those dupes.
Getting An Excel Spreadsheet Into An SQL Server Table
Nov 6, 2003Hi everyone,
I've got an Excel Spreadsheet with 5 columns of data which I need to get into an SQL Table. There's 13,000 rows in this Spreadsheet so manually doing it is out of the question.
How can I go about doing this?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrew
