How To Conditionally Count Distinct Values?

Mar 17, 2008

Here is my dataset used by my report definition. The combo of barcode and order id is unique. The 'isDiscountedItem' field indicates if the customer used a coupon to purchased an item at a lower price.

departmentId classId barcode orderId isDiscountedItem
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 123 1 True
2 7 456 1 False
1 1 123 2 False
1 1 123 3 True
1 1 789 3 True
2 7 456 3 False
... ... ... ... ...

I want to group my report by department id, class id and barcode. Then, I want to count all distinct order ids for which there was at leat one discounted item.

My report would produce the following output considering the above dataset:






Merchandise Number of customers who used a coupon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Department 1 2

Class 1 2

Barcode 123 2
Barcode 789 1
Department 2 0

Class 7 0

Barcode 456 0


I've been looking at a possible solution using hash tables defined in the report code but I would like to find a 'cleaner' solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Reporting Services :: Count Values In A Column Based Upon Distinct Values In Another Column In SharePoint List

Sep 7, 2015

We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.

Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.

Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.

A typical view of list can be:

Column A - Column B
red  - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red  - pen
blue - pencil
blue - highlighter
blue - pencil

We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:

                    red     blue   green
    pen            2       0      1
    marker       0       1      0
    pencil          1       3      0
    highlighter  1       1      1 

We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.

Distinct Count With Null Values (grand Total)

May 9, 2007

Hello,

I have a DB of professors and information related with them. I created the cube, it consist of:
Measures:
Measure group Professors:
Amount of projects (COUNT proj_id)
Amount of pulications (COUNT pub_id)
Amount of e_books (COUNT book_id)
--------------
Measure group Projects:
Distinct amount of projects (DISTINCT COUNT proj_id)
--------------
Measure group Publications:
Distinct amount of publications (DISTINCT COUNT pub_id)
--------------
Measure group E_books:
Distinct amount of e_books (DISTINCT COUNT book_id)
--------------
Calculated measures:
Amnt_Projects
iif ([Measures].[ Amount of projects ] = 0 OR [Measures].[ Amount of projects] = NULL,0,[Measures].[ Distinct amount of projects])
Amnt_Publications
(similar to the above one)
Amnt_E_books
(similar to the above one)
---------------------------
Dimensions:
dimPROFESSORS
- prof_id
-surname
-name
-gender
dimPROJECTS
- proj_id
-type name
-name
dimPUBLICATIONS
- pub_id
-type name
-name
dimE_BOOKS
- book_id
-name
Date_Projects
-date_id
-years
Date_Publications
-date_id
-years
Date_E_books
-date_id
-years


For example, when I browse the cube:
prof_id____Amount of projects___Distinct amount of projects___Amnt_Projects
1032------------------- 30 --------------------------1----------------1
1070-------------------90 --------------------------2----------------2
1111-------------------0 ---------------------------1----------------0
1137-------------------0 ---------------------------1----------------0
1234-------------------1404--------------------------9----------------9
1721-------------------504--------------------------7----------------7
2661-------------------85 --------------------------5----------------5
...--------------------...---------------------------...----------------...
6999------------------- 20---------------------------1-----------------1
9956-------------------50---------------------------5-----------------5
Unknown----------------(empty)---------------------(empty)-----------0
Grand Total------------ 2421------------------------11-----------------11


Grand Total “11“ is the amount of distinct projects +1 (because of the unknown member). So the last column shows the right amount of projects for the professor but I want Grand Total to sum those values and show, how many projects do the professors have (it should be „59“ if for all professors). How could I get the right value to be shown in Grand Total?

Conditionally Count Rows In A Table

Aug 26, 2007

I am building a Table Report where I need to "count" the number of cells in a column conditionally.


I have a column of data where the values will be "Orange", "Apple", "Banana", NULL
The pseudocode would be something like this:

iCountOfOranges as Integer
iCountOfApples as Integer
iCountOfBananas as Integer

IF Cell.Value = "Orange" THEN

iCountOfOranges = iCountOfOranges + 1
ELSE IF Cell.Value = "Apple" THEN

iCountOfApples = iCountOfApples + 1
ELSE IF Cell.Value = "Banana" THEN

iCountOfBananas = iCountOfBananas + 1

The 3 count values would then be displayed in 3 footer rows at the bottom of the table.

Thanks

Conditionally Grouping Different String Values Together

Jan 29, 2008

 I have a sql server table column that can contain the following possible values. 1. 766/IT 2. 777/HR3.  890/EG4.  012/AS5.  Trainee6.  Contractor 7.  Others I want to write an SQL query grouped by this column, Trainee should be one group, Contractor should be another different group, Others should be another different group and then  every thing else ( 766/IT ,777/HR ,890/EG, 012/AS) should be grouped together as one group. Think of it in terms of a pie chart with those groups.

Having Rows With Some Null Values Returned Conditionally

Aug 8, 2012

This should be a simple solution, but it has been a long time since I've done any query writing (mostly in Oracle) and I am stumped, so here goes:

We are in the process of converting Access database to MSSQL with web form front ends.

I have a table, all columns are nullable, and want users to be able to query from a form, which has a field for each column and defaults to a % wild card for the entered value.

I want the users to be able to put any string in any field, and have it return each row that matches that, including rows with null values in the other columns, but not the column with the entered criteria.

Here is a sample of the data:

Code:
SQL> select * from test;

COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is not
this is test too
is test too
is too
is too

7 rows selected.

Now, if I have this SQL run, it will return only rows that have no nulls in any columns:

Code:
select
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4from test
where
col1 like'th%'
and col2 like '%'
and col3 like '%'
and col4 like '%';

COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is test too

Now, if I use an OR clause for each column, this mostly works, but the trouble is it will also return rows with null values for the field that has criteria entered in it:

Code:
select
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4from test
where
(col1 like'th%' OR col1 is null)
and (col2 like '%' OR col2 is null)
and (col3 like '%' OR col3 is null)
and (col4 like '%' OR col4 is null);
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is not
this is test too
is test too
is too
is too

The idea is to only select the first 4 rows in the above example.

I was playing with ISNULL in the select clause, but all it does is substitute a string for a null, and I think CASE will do the same thing.

Is there a way I can write this query so it will return rows with NULL values in any column, except the one(column) that has user entered criteria in it?

Distinct Values Among Distinct Column Values

Jan 9, 2015

Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.

Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:

*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)

===================================
Temp table
===================================
SCHOOL | STU_ID | STU_PHONE
101 | 12345 | 111-222-3333
101 | 23456 | 111-222-3333
102 | 34567 | 111-222-3333
101 | 45678 | 999-888-7777
101 | 56789 | 999-888-7777
101 | 67890 | 555-555-5555
102 | 78901 | 555-555-5555
103 | 89012 | 555-555-5555

==================================
Wanted query results
==================================
STU_PHONE | #Students | UNIQUE_SCHOOLS
111-222-3333 | 3 | 2
999-888-7777 | 2 | 1

Count Distinct

Mar 23, 2007

hi all,

sometimes, when tables are poorly joined, we have exactly same rows as a result.. so we use distinct.. but how can we count(*) the distinct rows?


select distinct d.docrefid from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'

will return me

docrefid
DC01C06027

but when i try to count(*) only the distinct record, it count all..

select distinct d.docrefid, count(*) from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
group by d.docrefid

will return me

DocrefId Count
DC01C060272

when i expect

DocrefId Count
DC01C060271

SELECTing A DISTINCT COUNT?

Nov 30, 2003

I have an SQL statement that looks like the following:

SELECT [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName, COUNT([Docs-DocsEntities].filename) AS numDocs
FROM [Docs-Entities] LEFT JOIN [Docs-DocsEntities]
ON [Docs-Entities].entityID = [Docs-DocsEntities].entityID
GROUP BY [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName

but the problem is that numDocs (the COUNT) is not returning a distinct count. In the DocEntities table, a particular document can actually have multiple entries with the same entityID so that produces inflated numbers for numDocs. But when I do a SELECT DISTINCT on a particular entityID, the results are less and don't match the numDocs number because I only need to list the document one time. This is not a huge issue, but it looks bad on my site.

Is there a way that I can make COUNT count distinctly?

Thanks for the help and I hope I worded that cllearly...

Distinct Row Count In A Table.

Aug 30, 2006

Hi,

I want a count of distinct rows in a table through a single query -- is it possible?

eg.

table-

create table ch1 (a int, b int, c int, d int)

insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,3,4,5)

Here distinct row count in a table is 3 which I want to achieve thro a query.

if I do

select count(distinct a) from ch1 it works fine and gives me output as 2.

but this is not working

select count(distinct a,b,c,d) from ch1 - any workaround to find the distinct row count in a table??

Please reply.

Cheers!
Ram.

Distinct Count, But Rewritten With Sum(case..)

Mar 28, 2007

It doesn't seem possibly, but maybe?
Is there a way to have an expression be used, but also benefit from using distinct on a column?

I'm looking for something like:
sum(case when dtEntered > '1-1-2006' then 1 else 0 end)
but also encorporating somehow a distinct count on UserName. So a username showing twice would only count once, and this would only be counted if the record's dtEntered date was greater than Jan 1, 2006.

The reason I'm writing the statement that way is because there are 5 columns which aggregate data by different time periods.

If it's not possible, I will just end up joining to the table multiple times, putting the date filter in the where clause.

I've tried variations on a SELECT statement like below but have been unable to find a way to count only those types per fileNo that have all partNo completed (and to count all types per fileNo with a partNo of 0 and a completed date as they have no parts):

SELECT [FileNo], COUNT(DISTINCT [Type]) AS CountOfAPs

COUNT (Distinct Column) = 0 With GROUP BY

Mar 20, 2008

I have a table of users and date when they logged on to a system. I am trying to count how many distinct users logged on for each day of the week. The SQL below works when there's at least a user for each day. But when there is no user for a particular day such as Sunday, I still want it to return "SUN



0 "

I learned that you can use GROUP BY ALL and it works but the "ALL" is deprecated beyond SQL 2005.

SELECT UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) AS DayOfWeek,
COUNT(DISTINCT UserID) AS NumberOfUser

FROM testUserLoginDuration
WHERE Archived = 0
GROUP BY UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3))
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'MON' THEN 1
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'TUE' THEN 2
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'WED' THEN 3
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'THU' THEN 4
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'FRI' THEN 5
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'SAT' THEN 6
WHEN UPPER(LEFT(DATENAME(dw, StartTime), 3)) = 'SUN' THEN 7
END

returns

MON 6
TUE 3
WED 5
THU 3
FRI 2
SAT 1

Distinct Count With Over Giving An Error

Nov 30, 2007

We have a table of students with fields for the ID of the school district and their school name. For example:



DistrictID
StudentName
SchoolName

10001
John Smith
Washington Elementary

10001
Jane Smith
Lincoln Middle

10002
David White
Hill High

...
...
...


I want is a listing with the school district ID, the student name, and the number of schools in the district.

I believe the following statement should give me what I want:

SELECT DistrictID, StudentName, COUNT(DISTINCT SchoolName) OVER (PARTITION BY DistrictID)

FROM StudentData


However, I get the error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near 'distinct'.

If I take out the DISTINCT it runs fine, however it counts all the rows as expected, which is not what I want.
If I remove the OVER clause it runs fine, however, it counds the schools across all the districts, which is not what I want.
I can remove the OVER clause and use GROUP BY, but not while also retrieving StudentName.


The SQL 2005 Online Books don't seem to indicate that my statement is invalid. Here are the links just for reference:
Count: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175997.aspx
Over: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189461.aspx

Anyone have an idea one what I'm doing wrong or how to go about getting this information?
Thanks!

Asking For Help With Distinct Count Within Rolling Period...

May 22, 2008

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I greatly appreciate it!

What i'm trying to do is get a distinct count of account numbers within a rolling period. My actual take is rather large but i've created a smaller-like version below. Please reference this table.








Account
Date

1
1/1/08

2
1/2/08

3
1/2/08

2
2/8/08

2/9/08

2/15/08

3/5/08

Let's say i want to return distinct count of accounts within a 2-month rolling period meaning in February, i'd get a distinct count for accounts in January & February, then in March i'd get a distinct count for February & March, then in April i'd get it for March & April, and so on... my results table would like the table below:








Account
Month

3
1

4
2

5
3

5
4

5
5

I had asked this before but it was a summing equation and not a unique count. I've tried to play with the summing equation to kind of make it work, but i'm starting to get a headache. It's probably so simple!
