Filtering And Aggregate Functions
Jul 20, 2005
I have a complex statement that is used in a SELECT statement. After
all my calculations I need to do an additional filter on the results.
Can I use an alias anywhere or is the AS clause just for column
display purposes?
Instead of:
SELECT column1,
column2,
some_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statements
AS Total
FROM table_name
HAVING
some_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statements[color=blue]
> 1[/color]
Can I have:
SELECT column1,
column2,
some_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statements
AS Total
FROM table_name
HAVING
Total > 1
As I understand it, the HAVING clause is used for filtering AFTER
aggregate functions are calculated so the alias SHOULD be available.

Im trying to get the top 10 sales people by date range
my cutdown select statement for my dataset is as follows:
SELECT TOP 20 SaleDate,Consultant, State, Sum(Value) As Winbacks, UserID
FROM dbo.tbl_kpi_sales
GROUP BY Consultant, State, SaleDate, UserID
HAVING (SaleDate)>= @Param_StartDate and (sales.SaleDate)<= @Param_EndDate) AND State IN (@Param_State)
ORDER BY Winbacks Desc;
The problem im getting is that when a date range is entered by the user, the same representative might appear in the top 20 list afew times as they made the top sale for different days, I am wanting the select statement to add up the total sales for that representative for that date range and return him as a single entry...Because the sale date is in the select statement the group by clause separates these records, I cannot take the sale date out off the select because i need it to determine the date parameter for the reports
for example for date range - 1/3/2005 to 20/3/2005 get the top 20 reps Im currently getting
Name Value Date
Jim Brown 20 1/3/2005
Jim Brown 10 12/3/2005
Jim Brown 23 13/3/2005
Tom 10 12/3/2005
etc...till top 20
I am wanting the following output
Name Value
Jim Brown 53
Tom 10
Is there someway off doing this which still allows me to use a date range entered into report services

I have a table that is used for employee evaluations. There are six questions that are scored either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. I want to tally the responses on a page, but I wonder if I can do it without 35 separate calls to the database (I also want to get the average response for each question). I know I can do "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual1 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '1' " and then "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual2 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '2' " and so on. But can I somehow do the aggregating at the page level, and just refer back to a datasource that uses a generic statement like "SELECT intWorkQuality, intDepend, intAnalyze, intWrite, intOral, intCompatibility FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req"? If I can, I am not sure what type of control would be best to use or what syntax to use to write the code-behind. I would like the results to be displayed in a grid format. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi..
I'm doing a jsp with database using sql.. I'm trying to get the max of score group by name from this table:
Table record
id_no. . . .name. . . . .score
. . 1 . . . . .Philip . . . . .10
. . 2 . . . . . Jane . . . . .12
. . 3 . . . . . John . . . . .15
. . 4 . . . . . Anna . . . . .11
. . 5 . . . . . Jane . . . . .16
I use the code:
query = "select name,max(score) from record group by name";
resultset = stmt.executeQuery (query);
However, there is an error. It says, SQL Exception: Column not found
I've checked several tutorial sites and the codes there are the same command that I use. I've also tried using other aggregate functions like the sum, still the same error comes out..
Why is that so? What should I do?
Thanks a lot..

I'm trying to migrate an app. from Access to SQL Server, and find that Transact-SQL does not support LAST/FIRST functions. Is there any alternative to these?
Below is the Access SQL statement:
SELECT Last(tblZoneNameString.Val) AS strZoneName, tblZoneNameString.TagIndex
FROM tblZoneNameString
GROUP BY tblZoneNameString.TagIndex
HAVING (((tblZoneNameString.TagIndex)>0));

I'm using the data environment of VB 6.0 to create data reports.
In Oracle you can use a nested aggregate function in a select query like MAX(SUM(Field)). Can I do this in SQL? If so, how?
thanx

Hi everyone,
I have a database with the following tables:
- programmer
- software
- studies(name, splace, cost, course)
I would like to find out which school has the max. nr. of students, but my query - SELECT splace FROM studies HAVING count(name) = (SELECT max(count(name)) FROM studies) - doesn't works, becouse MSSQL doesn't supports nested aggregat functions.
What should I do? Please help me, thanks in advance.

I have a select statement like this:
"SELECT AVG(Price) FROM prices GROUP BY Category"
Which of course returns a list of average prices.
I want to get a sum of that list, something that would work like this:
"SELECT SUM(SELECT AVG(Price) FROM prices GROUP BY Category)"
That code doesn't work, but that's what I want it to do and I'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi allFirstly this my first time posting to technical groups - so anymistakes I apologise for in advance.I am trying to count records in several secondary tables for the samerun in a primary table. However, there might be no records in thesesecondary tables for the specific run. Hence the sql below returnsnulls.Select run, (select count(errors) from table2 where run = t1.run groupby run) as errors, (select count(user) as users from table3 where run =t1.run and user = active group by run, dd)from table1 t1(Please note the different group bys. )I do not want nulls to be returned but to be replaced with 0. I havetried the isnull function but this does not work. egSelect run, (select isNull(count(errors),0) from table2 where run =t1.run group by run) as errors, (select isNull(count(user),0) as usersfrom table3 where run = t1.run and user = active group by run, user)from table1 t1Nor will isnull work if I put it around the select clause.Any suggestions?Thanks for the help!

Hi, need help in this statement here. I have three tables here, i.e. Sales, SalesItem, & SalesPmt. I want to display a grid that shows the Total Bill and Total Payment amounts.
My try is like this: SELECT SalesNo, SUM(Price*Qty) AS TotalBill, SUM(Payment) AS TotalPayment FROM ... GROUP BY....
No syntax error or whatever found, but the result of the total amounts is incorrect.
Say the data of the respective table below:
SalesItem
No
Qty
Price
1
1
5.00
2
2
12.00
3
4
3.50
SalesPayment
No
Amount
1
10.00
2
5.00
But the result I get from the above query is:
TotalBill
TotalPayment
86.00
45.00
Total Bill should be 43.00 and Total Payment should be 15.00.
Apparently the problem is due to the fact that I and querying on multiple tables. The correct total payment amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sales items (15.00 x 3), while the correct total bill amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sale payments (43.00 x 2).
So, what is the better way of writing this query?

Hi there,
I'm probably just being thick but is there a way to use conditional statements within aggregate functions? I'm trying to do something along the lines of the following -
Code:
SELECT SUM(
CASE
WHEN Currency='GBP' THEN TotalAmountCharged
ELSE TotalAmountCharged/1.45
) as total
from bookshop_orders
where year(OrderDate) = 2004 and month(OrderDate) = 9
TIA

Howdy,I need to write an update query with multiple aggregate functions.Here is an example:UPDATE tSETt.a = ( select avg(f.q) from dbo.foo f where f.p = t.y ),t.b = ( select sum(f.q) from dbo.foo f where f.p = t.y )FROM dbo.test tBasically I need to get some aggregate statistics about the rows offoo and store them in rows of t. The above statement works fine...butnote how the two subSelect's have the exact same WHERE clause. Thisscreams at me to combine them...but how? I would like to havesomething like this in my query:SELECT avg(f.q), sum(f.q) FROM dbo.foo f WHERE f.p = 2...and somehow store the results in t.a and t.b. Is there any way todo this?Thanks before hand!

Hi Guys,
I am having trouble with a particular query that is beyond my scope of understanding.
Basically I need to pull sales records based on the following criteria:
I have CustomerID, InvoiceNumber, ContractEndDate, MobileNumber, etc..
Customers recontract their mobile phone plans through us, and we have a new sales record for each time they recontract.
For example, CustomerNumber 123 has recontracted 3 times..
once on 2006-01-01, then on 2007-02-12, and finally on 2008-02-15..
So they have a 12 month contract each time.. then come in to recontract it.
So.. a customer has a single Customer Detail record, but may have many sales records attached. And a customer may have several sales for the SAME mobile phone number.
Currently to pull ALL sales records for all customers, my query is this:
Code:
SELECT xxx.CustomerID AS xxx_CustomerID,
xxx.Invoice AS xxx_Invoice,
yyy.PhoneType AS yyy_PhoneType,
yyy.PlanType AS yyy_PlanType,
yyy.ContractEnds AS yyy_ContractEnds,
yyy.MOB AS yyy_MobileNumber
FROM dbo.SaleControl xxx INNER JOIN dbo.SaleDetails yyy ON xxx.Invoice = yyy.Invoice
WHERE yyy.ContractEnds IS NOT NULL
AND xxx.CustomerID IS NOT NULL
We want to get a list of customers that we can call to recontract, based on the ContractEnd field.
However, we want UNIQUE mobile phone numbers, with the LATEST ContrtactEnd date.
So, Customer 123 has 6 sales, for 2 unique Mobile numbers, the sql may be like:
Code:
SELECT MAX(yyy.ContractEnds) AS LatestCED, yyy.MOB
FROM dbo.SaleControl xxx INNER JOIN dbo.SaleDetails yyy ON xxx.Invoice = yyy.Invoice
WHERE xxx.CustomerID='123'
GROUP BY yyy.MOB
Now, this works fine, and of course if i remove the WHERE clause, it collects all unique mobiles, with latest ContractEnd date for each, for all customers. (Customer 123 displays 2 mobile numbers, each with the LATEST ContractEnd date)
BUT i need this information ALONG WITH the other fields (xxx.CustomerID, xxx.Invoice, yyy.PhoneType, yyy.PlanType) and i have tried a few ways of doing it, but can't get my head around it..
Keep getting errors about Aggregate functions and Group By clause, and i understand why i am getting them, just cant think of any alternative query.
Can anyone please help me!
Thanks guys,
Mick

I have a simple query like:
select max(PTR_DATE)
from MPR_portfolio_transactions
group by PTR_SYMBOL
and this is working fine, but if I add an extra column with another field like:
select max(PTR_DATE) , PTR_SHAREBALANCE
from MPR_portfolio_transactions
group by PTR_SYMBOL
Then I get an error message like:
Column 'MPR_portfolio_transactions.PTR_SHAREBALANCE' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
How can I get round to this?

Hi,
Assume there is no sale with over 2000 units, the first query returns no row while the latter returns 1 row with a null value. I am not questioning the result, I would like to understand conceptually what semantic difference between the Sql99 analytic function and regular aggregate function makes the result different in this case.
select sum(Quantity) over() from orderdetails where Quantity > 2000
select sum(Quantity) from orderdetails where Quantity > 2000
thanks in advance,

This_Year_Billable_Objective_Count, with its formula = BillableLastYear*(100+ BillableObjective)/100.
The first factor, BillableLastYear is a number, aggregated (sum) from child units.
The second factor, BillableObjective is a percent number (for example 28 means 28%), it's not aggregate. It's an dependent value for each unit.
How can I calculate This_Year_Billable_Objective_Count for each unit?

I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality andremembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerningperformance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* infunction" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made thefollowing comment about UDFs in SQL 2005:[color=blue][color=green]>>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of[/color][/color]these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe there. In fact fora complex expression, a UDF in written a CLR language may be fasterthanthe corresponding expression using built-in T-SQL functions.<<I thought the I would put this to the test using some of the same SQLas before, but adding a simple scalar CLR UDF into the mix. The testinvolved querying a simple table with about 300,000 rows. Thescenarios are as follows:(A) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column(B) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column and as a criterionin the WHERE clause(C) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column(D) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion in theWHERE clause(E) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column(F) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion inthe WHERE clauseA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(295310 row(s) affected)A: 1563(150003 row(s) affected)B: 906(295310 row(s) affected)C: 2703(150003 row(s) affected)D: 2533(295310 row(s) affected)E: 2060(150003 row(s) affected)F: 2190The scalar CLR UDF function was significantly faster than the classicscalar UDF, even for this very simple function. Perhaps a more complexfunction would have shown even a greater difference. Based on this, Imust conclude that Erland was right. Of course, it's still faster tostick with basic built-in functions like CASE.In another test, I decided to run some queries to compare built-inaggregates vs. a couple of simple CLR aggregates as follows:(G) Calculate averages by group using the built-in AVG aggregate(H) Calculate averages by group using a CLR aggregate that similatesthe built-in AVG aggregate(I) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group (average excluding highestand lowest values) using built-in aggregates(J) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group using a CLR aggregatespecially designed for this purposeA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(59 row(s) affected)G: 313(59 row(s) affected)H: 890(59 row(s) affected)I: 216(59 row(s) affected)J: 846It seems that the CLR aggregates came with a significant performancepenalty over the built-in aggregates. Perhaps they would pay off if Iwere attempting a very complex type of aggregation. However, at thispoint I'm going to shy away from using these unless I can't find a wayto do the calculation with standard SQL.In a way, I'm happy that basic SQL still seems to be the fastest way toget things done.

Hello,
This may be simple, but I can't figure a way to do this. I have the following data returned to a table and need to sum only the items where HDMethod=0 in the table footer. For some reason, something like:
=Sum(Iif(Fields!HDMethod.Value=0, Fields!BDExtended.Value, Nothing)) returns all the rows.
There is a LEFT OUTER JOIN: dbo.[Billing Detail].Item = dbo.[History Detail].Item between the tables touched in the query if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
