Is Grouping In Tables Based On Field Values Possible?!
Mar 26, 2008
I want to group by a fields value in a table. I have a purchase table where contracts and orders are stored in together. Now what I need is, I have to group only by the rows that contain an identical contract_no and order_no as those records represent the actual contract. the other rows contain order data-sets which need to be subtracted from the contracts values.
SET numDeterminationLevelTypeId = parent.numDeterminationLevelTypeId,
numInherentRiskID = parent.numInherentRiskID,
numControlRiskID = parent.numControlRiskID,
numCombinedRiskID = parent.numCombinedRiskID,
numApproachTypeId = parent.numApproachTypeId,
bInherentRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bControlRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bCombinedRiskIsAffirmed = 0,
bApproachTypeIsAffirmed = 0,
bCommentsIsAffirmed = 0
FROM EngagementAuditAreas WITH(NOLOCK) ...
And what I need is to conditionalize the values of the "IsAffirmed" fields by looking at their corresponding "num" fields. Something like this (which doesn't work).
UPDATE EngagementAuditAreas
SET numDeterminationLevelTypeId = parent.numDeterminationLevelTypeId,
numInherentRiskID = parent.numInherentRiskID,
numControlRiskID = parent.numControlRiskID,
numCombinedRiskID = parent.numCombinedRiskID,
numApproachTypeId = parent.numApproachTypeId,
bInherentRiskIsAffirmed = (numInherentRiskID IS NULL),
bControlRiskIsAffirmed = (numControlRiskID IS NULL),
bCombinedRiskIsAffirmed = (numCombinedRiskID IS NULL),
bApproachTypeIsAffirmed = (numApproachTypeID IS NULL),
bCommentsIsAffirmed = (parent.txtComments IS NULL)
I have 2 tables, one that contains a set of codes and their definitions, and another where each record has a field that contains several of these codes separated by commas:
Tab1
SubCode | Definition --------------- S100 | Def of S100 S101 | Def of S101 S102 | Def of S102
I'm trying to create a query against Tab1 so that it retrieves a recordset of Subcodes and definitions based on the contents of the Subcodes field for a record in Tab2. I've tried this using a subquery, as follows:
SELECT SubCode ,Definition FROM Tab1 WHERE SubjectCode IN (SELECT CHAR(39) + REPLACE(SubjectCodes, CHAR(44), CHAR(39 + CHAR(44)+ CHAR(39)) + CHAR(39) FROM Tab2 WHERE DepID = 1 AND PurposeCode = 'P101')
The subquery will return: 'S100','S101' and I expect the final recordset to be:
SubCode | Definition --------------- S100 | Def of S100 S101 | Def of S101
However, it's not returning any records. If I execute the subquery separately and then plug its results into the main query e.g.
SELECT SubCode ,Definition FROM Tab1 WHERE SubjectCode IN ('S100','S101')
it returns the expected recordset. Does anyone have any pointers? It's driving me nuts..
Cheers Greg

I need to write a t-sql query that will take the value of the previousrecord into consideration before calculating the current row's newcolumn value...Here's the situation...I have a query which return the following table structure...Full_Name Points----------------- ------------Name1 855Name2 805Name3 800Name4 775Name5 775Name6 741etc.... etc...I need to create a calculated column that tells me where the personranks in point position. The problem i run into is that in thesituation where two or more people have the same point value i need thecalculated rank column to display the same rank number (i.e. 4th orjust "4") I'm not sure how to to take into consideration the previousrow's point value to determine if it is the same as the current onebeing evaluated. If i new they were the same i could assign the samerank value (i.e. 4th or just "4").If any one has any insight that would be great.ThanksJeremy
I have two tables: TestA and TestB. Both tables have 3 fields: ID,Name, and RunDate. I need to create a query which will join the twotables first on Name but then I need to match up the RunDates eventhough the RunDates won't be the same.CREATE TABLE TestA (ID INT IDENTITY, Name VARCHAR(255), RunDateDATETIME)CREATE TABLE TestB (ID INT IDENTITY, Name VARCHAR(255), RunDateDATETIME)INSERT INTO TestA VALUES ('Account 1', '9/1/2004 12:00PM')INSERT INTO TestB VALUES ('Account 1', '9/1/2004 12:15PM')INSERT INTO TestA VALUES ('Account 1', '9/2/2004 1:00PM')INSERT INTO TestB VALUES ('Account 1', '9/2/2004 1:15PM')INSERT INTO TestA VALUES ('Account 1', '9/3/2004 3:00PM')INSERT INTO TestA VALUES ('Account 2', '9/5/2004 4:00PM')INSERT INTO TestB VALUES ('Account 2', '9/5/2004 4:15PM')Here's a common scenario:User updates TestA data for Account 1 on 9/1/2004 at 12:00pm. Thenthe user updates TestB data for Account 1, 15 minutes later. I wantthese two records to match. The user must always update TestA databefore they update TestB data. Therefore, there might be more rows inTestA then in TestBHere's what the results should look like for the above data.Name TestA Date TestB Date---- ---------- ----------Account 1 9/1/2004 12:00pm 9/1/2004 12:15PMAccount 1 9/2/2004 1:00pm 9/2/2004 1:15PMAccount 1 9/3/2004 3:00pm (NULL)Account 2 9/5/2004 4:00pm 9/5/2004 4:15PMAny help would be much appreciated!!!!
I have a comma separated field containing numerous 2 digit numbers that I would like splitting out by a corresponding unique code held in another field on the same row.
E.g
Unique Code Comma Separated Field
14587934 1,5,17,18,19,40,51,62,70
6998468 10,45,62,18,19
79585264 1,5,18
These needs to be in column format or held in an array to be used as conditional criteria.
create table dbo.#Status( ID varchar(50), Status varchar(50), EffectiveStartDate datetime, EffectiveEndDate datetime, Is_Current bit
[code].....
I want result as the attached image.
Create table query for result is: CREATE TABLE dbo.#Result( ID varchar(50), Fee varchar(100), Bill varchar(50), A_Date date, B_Date date, Status VARCHAR(50), EffectiveStartDate datetime, EffectiveEndDate datetime )
I have a form to assign JOB SITES to previously created PROJECT. The JOB SITES appear in the DataList as it varies based on customer. It can be 3 to 50 JOB SITES per PROJECT. I have "PROJECT" table with all necessary fields for project information and "JOBSITES" table for job sites. I also created a new table called "PROJECTSITES" which has only 2 columns: "ProjectId" and "SiteId". What I am trying to do is to insert multiple rows into that "PROJECTSITES" table based on which checkbox was checked. The checkbox is located next to each site and I want to be able to select only the ones I need. Btw the Datalist is located inside of a formview and has it's own datasource which already distincts which JOBSITES to display. Sample: ProjectId - SiteId 1 - 5 1 - 9 1 - 16 1 - 18 1 - 20 1 - 27 1 - 31 ProjectId stays the same, only values for SiteId are being different. I hope I explaining it right. Do I have to use some sort of loop to go through the automatically populated DataList records and how do I make a multiple inserts to database table? We use SQL Server 2005 and VB for code behind. Please ask if I missed on some information. Thank you in advance.
Here is the desired counted output, I would like to pull distinct Date, MachineNumber, TestName and then count how many times they occur in the raw data form.I do need to perform a case on the date because right now its in a datetime format and I only need the date.
I am pulling three columns with the same names from 8 different tables. What I need to display the date, machine & test name and count how many times a test was run on a machine for that date. I have a feeling this can be handled by SSAS but haven't built an analysis cube yet because I am unfamiliar with how they work. I was wondering if this is possible in a simple query. I tried to set something up in a #Temp table. Problem is the query takes forever to run because I am dealing with 1.7 Million rows. Doing an insert into #temp select columnA, columnB, columnC from 8 different tables takes a bit.
I need to get all distinct values from 10 different tables that exist in the field [favoritesport] And each table holds close to 50K records so I am looking at 500,000 records to get distinct values for. Would the fastest, less intrusive way of achieving this be to just create a UNION ALL so run
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table1 Union Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table2 Union Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table3 etc etc etc
In SQL Server 2005, I want to do a set query on the following data that results in 3 groups:
Id EventName EventTime
1 First 41:40.2
2 First 41:41.6
3 First 41:43.1
4 First 41:44.4
5 Second 41:46.4
6 Second 41:48.3
7 Second 41:49.7
8 First 41:51.2
9 First 41:53.3
10 First 41:55.0
So, I want to have a query that returns one aggregate row for each of rows 1-4, 5-7 and 8-10 based on the EventName. Every time EventName 'changes' in the order that I sort it, I want to start a new grouping:
Group EventName Count
1 First 4
2 Second 3
3 First 3
With this query, I could also get the Min() and Max() EventTime for each group, etc.
However, this is proving difficult to do in set SQL. Obviously, if I group on EventName, then rows 1-4 *and* 8-10 will be rolled into my 'First' group. However, there is no other partitioning information that I can factor in that splits this data into *only* 3 groups, based on the order of the Event Time.
I have tried the various ranking functions, but the problem persists through any combination of function, PARTITION BY and ORDER BY that I can find.
Technology Type Size XYZ A 200 XYZ1 A 200 XYZ2 A 300 XYZ3 A 300 ABC1 X 238 ABC2 X 238 PQR B 320 MNO C 330
I have written a query on a table whose output will look like the above. I need to know if i should store this in a record set or create a temp table to get the following fuctionality.
Now I need to concatenate the Technology based on Type and size.
As you can see in Type A we have two sizes 200 and 300.
We need to group the Technology of type A with same size together.
So the output of the procedure should be
XYZ + XYZ1 XYZ2+ XYZ3 ABC1 + ABC2 etc.
We need to concatenate the Technology string with the next technology if they have the same type and size.
TeamStatus T 1 Complete or Escalate T 2 Pick Up T 2 Resolve Case T 1 Pick Up T 1 Complete or Escalate T 1 Pick Up T 1 Complete or Escalate
I want to get he group based of Resolve Case value in Status Column. Anything before Resolve case will be considered as Group 1 and after Resolve Case status should be considered as Group 2. Below is desired new Group column,
Group TeamStatus Group 1 T 1Complete or Escalate T 2 Pick Up T 2 Resolve Case
Group 2 T 1Pick Up T 1Complete or Escalate T 1 Pick Up T 1 Complete or Escalate
I'm having some difficulty getting the appropriate results for my scenerio. I have two different datasets that I'm using. One is consisting of two joined tables and the other consisting of one sp. The sp's parameters rely on two things- one is the companyNum (inputed when the user runs the report) and two is the ContactNumType. The ContactTypeNum comes from the dataset of tables. I need to have a table consisting of this format:
ContactNumType1 (From the Tables) File_Name1 (From the sp) File_Name4 (From the sp) File_Name3 (From the sp)
ContactNumType2 (From the Tables) File_Name2 (From the sp) File_Name7(From the sp)
ContactNumType3 (From the Tables) File_Name5 (From the sp)
ContactNumType4 (From the Tables) File_Name6 (From the sp)
File_Name10 (From the sp) File_Name8(From the sp) File_Name9 (From the sp)
So essentially what is going on is that every returned File_Name is grouped based upon the type of ContactNumType. My table returns the appropriate ContactNumTypes and the appropriate number of File_Names but returns only the first File_Name for each row. The File_Names should only grouped by the ContactTypeNums and each be unique. Is there any way to do that?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited: I still am trying to work this out. I've tried a few run-arounds but none have worked. Adding custom code apparently is too risky at this point because of the security precautions that I've been instructed to take. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this project has been going on for days now....
How to count the number of values that exist in a row based on the values from an array of numbers. Basically the the array of numbers I want to look for are in row 1 of table [test 1] and I want to search for them and count the "out of" in table [test 2]. Excuse me for not using the easiest way to convey my question below. I guess in short I have 10 numbers and like to find how many of those numbers exist in each row. short example:
I am working with a data set containing several years' of monetary values. I have entries for past dates and the associated values, and I also have entries for future dates. I need to populate the values of the future date records with the values from the same date the previous year. Is there any way this can be done in Power Pivot?
I have a script that I use after some amount of data massaging (not shown). I would like to be able to change the
1) denominator value (the value 8 in line 32 of my code) based on how many columns are selected by the where clause:
where left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = 1where capNumber is a value like [1_1], [1_4], [1_6]...[1_9] capNumber can be any values from [1_1]...[14_10] depending upon the specialty value (example: Allergy) and the final number after the equal sign is a number from 1 to 14)
2) I'd like to dynamically determine the series depending upon which values correspond to the specialty and run for each where: left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = n. n is a number between 1 and 14.
3) finally I'd like to dynamically determine the columns in line 31 (4th line from the bottom)
If I do it by hand it's 23 * 14 separate runs to get separate results for each CapNumber series within specialty. The capNumber series is like [1_1], [1_2], [1_3],[1_4], [1_5], [1_6], [1_7], [1_8],[1_9] ... [8_4],[8_7] ... [14_1], [14_2],...[14_10] etc.
Again, the series are usually discontinuous and specific to each specialty.
Here's the portion of the script (it's at the end) that I'm talking about:
--change values in square brackets below for each specialty as needed and change the denom number in the very last query.
if object_id('tempdb..#tempAllergy') is not null drop table #tempAllergy select * into #tempAllergy from dbo.#temp2 T
[Code] ....
If I were to do it manually I'd uncomment each series line in turn and comment the one I just ran.
To give you some context we have a new amendments application (nothing fancy, excel based with SQL Server back end) that allows users to submit amendments to product data (Product Info, PO Prices, Dates etc.). There is also an admin tool that a team uses to action these amendments in the various systems.
The old version of this tool, users submitted amendments by style and could if need be submit multiple amendments against one product at the same time. The new tool, I believe for audit reasons, users submit by amendment type, so for example I would submit a cost price change for a given style.
The issue now is that on the occasions where a user has multiple amendments, they now come through separately. So cost price would be Amendment 1 and a date change would be amendment 2 even though they could be the same product. This could potentially mean that the admin team would be duplicating work if the paperwork is updated and sent after each amendment, whereas before they would make both changes and only send the paperwork once.
Having not built either of these tools, I've been tasked with trying to fix this, my two thoughts being either to amend the user form to somehow capture/ allow users to submit amendments together or try to use the existing data and doing the grouping dynamically in the back end. Use that lag to look at grouping any submitted amendments that occur within 30mins of the first occurrence of that style
This grouping would then be given a joint time so when the 'time lag' period passes the amendments will be visible together.I've tried a few things and a few head on desk moments trying to get a set based approach but haven't been able to get where i want, its either an issue where amendments span an hour, such as 9:59 and then 10:03 or grouping together amendments that happen after the 30mins of the first one.
Here is some sample data
USE FF_Winning_Together; IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#AmendTest',N'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #AmendTest; CREATE TABLE #AmendTest ( AmendmentIDINT IDENTITY(1,1)NOT NULL, StyleCHAR(1)NOT NULL, AmendmentStatusVARCHAR(10)NOT NULL, DTDATETIMENOT NULL
I have a table called BidItem which has another table calledBidAddendum related to it by foreign key. I have another table calledBidFolder which is related to both BidItem and BidAddendum, based on acolumn called RefId and one called Type, i.e. type 1 is a relationshipto BidItem and type 2 is a relationship to BidAddendum.Is there any way to specify a foreign key that will allow for thedifferent types indicating which table the relationship should existon? Or do I have to have two separate tables with identical columns(and remove the type column) ?? I would prefer not to have multipleidentical tables.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?
I want to get the summation of the amount column against all the distinct values of Description fields. May be the "Where" (applied on Tdate Column) Clause unable to contains all the Unique(Distinct) values from the single Column (Description).
I have two groupings defined in my table. I group by Owner and then by Priority. I'm struggling with the expression to capture the string values at the appropriate scope. Using the table below, I want to capture "Critical, High" for "Jack Daniels" and "Medium, Low, Informational" for "Jim Beam". The table has "grpOwner" and "grpPriority" defined on Fields!Owner.Value and Fields!Priority.Value respectively. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm adding up quantities of an item that are entered in one after another, so the date is the same, but the time differs.
I used the "first" function in access which works the way I want, but sql7 doesn't use the same function. The "convert" function does not work in access but Here is the gist of the query:
SELECT first(CONVERT(varchar,transactions.tran_date,101)) AS [trandate], transactions.tran_type, SUM(transactions.qty) AS totqty,...etc.
All,Given multiple records with identical values in all fields except asingle varchar field, is there an efficient query that will group therecords into a single record and concatenate the aforementionedvarchar field into a single field with each of the source records'values separated by commas?Example:Record 1 'Doug' , '1'Record 2 'Doug' , '2'Output record 'Doug' , '1,2'Thanks in advance,Doug

I am using the following expression to strip the last 11 characters in a field group and it returns an error saying that Len cannot use a negative number. It must be 0 or greater. Is there a better alternative?
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.
