That's what I would like, Daily (or rather 24 hour periods) listed, and then averaged out. I will fix the dateadds so that they are for previous 10 days rather than previous 240 hours, but first I need to get it to work as is.
I have a SQL statement below which has a case clause which works fine, until I want to group it. Is it possible to group on a clause that is defined as case?
declare @sdate datetime set @sdate = '02/01/2002' select distinct count(tbm.otheridnumber), instatus = case inmate_status when 'inactive' then 'Out of system' else 'Active' end,inm.df_institutionname from tb_medication tbm inner join inmateid inm on tbm.inmate_cntr_id = inm.inmate_cntr_id where tbm.chdpedt is null and DATEDIFF(day,chdpstdt , @sdate) > 90 group by instatus, inm.df_institutionname order by inm.df_institutionname
I have the below query and I am not sure if this will return an accurate aggregate, I know I cannot just group by my alias GLG_DELEGATE_ID, is this the way to handle aggregates when you have a CASE in the SELECT statement?
SELECT CASE WHEN C.GLG_DELEGATE_ID IS null THEN C.GLG_ID ELSE C.GLG_DELEGATE_ID END AS GLG_DELEGATE_ID ,COUNT(P.CONSULTATION_ID) ACTIVITY_AMOUNT FROM dbo.CONSULTATION C GROUP BY C.GLG_DELEGATE_ID , C.GLG_ID
Hi guys, I am having a little diffulty displaying two columns next to each other in a case/group by statement as code shown below. I was wondering if i could have the results displayed such that the gst_amount and total_amount are in two separate columns (as they currently are) however the results of the rows are in the same row not in separate rows (as they are currently). I dont think i can do this in the current case statement that i have (i.e: the two case statements). Any feedback would be appreciated
SELECT distinct PERIOD.STARTDATE, temp_111.EVENTTYPEID, case when temp_111.[name] like '%GST%' then sum(temp_111.CONTRIBUTIONVALUE) end as GST_AMOUNT, case when temp_111.[name] not like '%GST%' then sum(temp_111.CONTRIBUTIONVALUE) end as Total_Amount FROM temp_111 INNER JOIN PERIOD ON temp_111.PERIODSEQ = PERIOD.PERIODSEQ WHERE (NOT temp_111.PRODUCTID = 'IIIE' OR temp_111.PRODUCTID IS NULL) AND temp_111.PERIODSEQ in ('111') group by PERIOD.STARTDATE, temp_111.EVENTTYPEID, temp_111.[name]

It appears that table grouping is case sensitive (for example, Re-Roof versus Re-roof appears to be causing a group break). I can't find a parameter to change this behaviour in Reporting Services. Can anyone verify that it is in fact case sensitive? How to change?
I am running SQL Server 2000 and the database that I am querying is not case sensitive.
I am not to experienced with SQL and I guess the following is a piece of cake for most of you... I want to get the sales amount for each shop, for each of three different products, and for the sum of the three products. The problem is that I only get for each shop for each of the product, but not the sum of the three products OR for each shop the total of the three products, but not for each product.
My query looks like this:
SELECT
Shop_name,
case
when prod in (1,2,3) then ‘milk_bread_butter’
when prod = 1 then ‘milk’
when prod = 2 then ‘bread’
when prod=3 then ‘butter’
else ‘none’
end as product,
sum(sales_amount) as sales
FROM
Dbo.sales
GROUP BY
Shop_name,
case
when prod in (1,2,3) then ‘milk_bread_butter’
when prod = 1 then ‘milk’
when prod = 2 then ‘bread’
when prod=3 then ‘butter’
else ‘none’
end
The problem is that I only get the lin 'milk_bread_butter' per shop. If I switch the order around in the case statement;
case
when prod = 1 then ‘milk’
when prod = 2 then ‘bread’
when prod=3 then ‘butter’
when prod in (1,2,3) then ‘milk_bread_butter’
else ‘none’
I get the sales amounts per shop for each of the products, but not for the milk_bread_butter total.
I would be very greatful for any guidance as how to solve this.
I've always been mistified why you can't use a column alias in the group byclause (i.e. you have to re-iterate the entire expression in the group byclause after having already done it once in the select statement). I'mmostly a SQL hobbiest, so it's possible that I am not doing this in the mostefficient manner. Anyone care to comment on this with relation to thefollowing example (is there a way to acheive this without re-stating theentire CASE statement again in the Group By clause?):Select 'Age' =CaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))end,max(SubmittedOn), COUNT(SCRID) AS NbrSCRsFrom SCRViewWHERE(StatusSort < 90) ANDCustomerID = 8 andUserID = 133group byCaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))endOrder by max(submittedon) descThanks,Chad
When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 = CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END , fieldname2 , fieldname3 FROM tablename1 GROUP BY CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
I am using SQL Server 2005 and fairly new at using SQL Server. I am having problems using a Case statements in the select list while have a group by line. The SQL will parse successfully but when I try to execute the statement I get the following error twice :
Column 'dbo.REDEMPTIONHISTORY.QUANTITY' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Below is the my sql statement:
SELECT dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate) AS RptDate, RH.Item,
ItemRef =
Case
when RH.Quantity < 0 then Sum(RH.Quantity)
when RH.Quantity >= 0 then Sum(0)
end
FROM dbo.RHISTORY AS RH INNER JOIN dbo.TRANSHISTORY AS TH ON RH.TRANSACTIONID = TH.TransactionID
WHERE (dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate) BETWEEN '10-1-2007' AND '10-5-2007') AND (RH.TransactionCode IN (13, 14, 15, 16))
Group by dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate), RH.Item
The TransHistory table contains, primary key transactionid, TransactionDate and the RHistory contains all the details about the transaction, the RHistory table is joined to the TransHistory table by foreign key TransactionID. I am trying to get totals for same item on the same day.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am also having trouble using If..Then statements in a select list and can not fin the correct syntax to use for that.
I have a a Group By query which is working fine aggregating records by city. Â Now I have a requirement to focus on one city and then group the other cities to 'Other'. Â Here is the query which works:
Select [City]= CASE WHEN [City] = 'St. Louis' THEN 'St. Louis' ELSE 'Other Missouri City' END, SUM([Cars]) AS 'Total Cars'Â From [Output-MarketAnalysis] Where [City] IN ('St. Louis','Kansas City','Columbia', 'Jefferson City','Joplin') AND [Status] = 'Active' Group by [City]
Here is the result:
St. Louis 1000 Kansas City 800 Columbia 700 Jefferson City 650 Joplin 300
When I add this Case When statement to roll up the city information it changes the name of the city to 'Other Missouri City' however it does not aggregate all Cities with the value 'Other Missouri City':
Select [City]= CASE WHEN [City] = 'St. Louis' THEN 'St. Louis' ELSE 'Other Missouri City' END, SUM([Cars]) AS 'Total Cars'Â From [Output-MarketAnalysis] Where [City] IN ('St. Louis','Kansas City','Columbia', 'Jefferson City','Joplin') AND [Status] = 'Active' Group by [City]
Here is the result:
St. Louis 1000 Other Missouri City 800 Other Missouri City 700 Other Missouri City 650 Other Missouri City 300
I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' Â values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) Â must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName          Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
Hi Folks, I have a slight problem designing two drop down lists accessing my database as some clients are listed twice because they are located in multiple citys I have one table called Clients with the following columns Client City F_name L_name ID I am using SELECT DISTINCT Client FROM Clients for my first Dropdownlist with a postback etc. e.g. Brown Black The Second Dropdownlist must select the different Distinct City Values where they are located on selecting Dropdownlist one e.g. Brown > London, New York or Black > Singapore and Boston What SQL Code can i place so the second dropdownlist will select the correct values on selecting the first Dropdownlist.
I need some explanantion on the following query that I'm trying to run:
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id ('slice_trace') and sysstat & 0xf = 3) delete from slice_trace where control_seq_number = 130 and claim_number = 7912450
When I run this query within a database where the slice_trace table does NOT exist, it still seems to execute the delete statement and hence fails because the object is not there. Essesntially I need this statement to execute only in databases where the table exists.
I new it was a mistake changing from mysql to mssql! I'm having difficulty with the following and would really appreciate any help you could offer.
I have two tables.
The first [users] has personal details: [id] [business_name] [title] [surname] [firstname]
The second [orders] has their orders: [order_id] [user_id] [order_date] [order_price]
I need a query that returns the latest record from [orders] for each member, with member details, but only where the latest order was within (now)-425.
I have received a table of data that has a field containing dateinformation. Unfortunately it was derived from a MainFrame dump andoriginated as a txt file and was then ported into an Access MDB filebefore it became an SQL table. The date format is vchar(50) andactually is comprised of 6 charecters ie: 010104 for Jan 1 2004. Ineed to run a select statement for a range of dates such as 010104thru 030104. Unfortunately being a charecter field this returnsincorrect results under a majority of cases. Back in my dBase daysthere was a VAL() that could be used in this case but I have beenunable to find anything comperable in SQL. Can anyone help me please?Thanks in advanceSteve

I have been working for some time on this T-SQL statement and getting it to work the way I would like it to work. I have been reading through books and everything, but am still having trouble. I am pretty new to T-SQL so I am probably making some beginners mistakes.
Basically I am working on a SQL 2005 server and I have a single database with two tables. Below are the tables and the fields that I am using from each. The table name is in bold and the fields are plain.
Users username (PK, varchar(7), not null) full_name (varchar(50), not null)
call_history queue (varchar(6), not null) update_date (datetime, null) status (char(1), not null)
Ok, now that you have the gist of the tables and fields. What I am trying to do is the impossible I think. Basically I work in a call center that supports software. The queue field is the identifier of what specialist is handling any call within the table. It can be linked to the "username" on the Users table. One thing I just noticed is that the varchar has a difference. Will that affect my below select statement?
SELECT u.full_name AS 'Specialist Name', COUNT (*) FROM dbo.call_history c LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.users u ON c.queue = u.username WHERE (c.status = 'P') AND (DATEDIFF(dayofyear, update_date, getdate()) >= 6) AND (DATEDIFF(dayofyear, update_date, getdate()) <= 9) AND queue IN('alatif', 'AWILLI', 'AYOUNG', 'BPRING', 'CSKINN', 'DALDEN', 'DBACCH', 'DGIZZI', 'DKUSSA', 'DMCCUE', 'EKEPFE', 'GBACKH', 'GJONES', 'HESTAL', 'JBANKS', 'JCRICH', 'JDELGA', 'JFOLCH', 'JGRAVE', 'JHARRI', 'JLI', 'JMYERS', 'JPOPPE', 'JRICHA', 'JRIMME', 'JTHOMP', 'JWELLS', 'KDUKHI', 'KSTANL', 'LCHAMP', 'LGABOR', 'LHARVE', 'LMONTG', 'LSHORT', 'LTOM', 'MBECK', 'MJONES', 'MVANDE', 'NBROWN','NTOMPK', 'PELLIS', 'RATTAR', 'RDODGE', 'TANDRO', 'TBROWN', 'TDAVIS', 'TNDREX', 'TNORRI', 'YSOSA', 'YWILLI') GROUP BY full_name ORDER BY full_name
So here is my dilemma: I am trying to emulate a spreadsheet that was given to me by my boss. This is pretty much going to determine whether or not I can get a job as the Web Developer. So the spread sheet displays the number of calls that have not been updated in X amount of days for all of our reps. I have been trying so many different varieties from nested SELECT statements now to joins. To put it simply enough, do I need to do a query that populates column by column?
Here is what it should look like: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/tico1177/CropperCapture1.jpg
As you can see, I have to include everyone even if they have zero. That is where the problem comes in. When I use the above statement, the list shows up but takes away people from the list instead of keeping them and placing a null for the count. I have tried placing a HAVING statement at the bottom of the query to compensate for COUNT(*) = 0, but I get an error. I think because I have a WHERE statement.
I am trying to see if this whole thing can be done with a SQL statement to avoid having loop though in code. I basically want to populate a datagridview with the information that I gather.
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
I am trying to build a related article display. I have a SQLDataSource that I want to be able to select information (Category) from the table (Articles) based on a querystring (ID). SELECT [Category] FROM [Articles] WHERE ([ArticleID] = @ID) which for an example, lets say ID = 1, and it results as Category = Health.That is easy enough, but how would I then select all columns from the table WHERE Category = Result of first SELECT? SELECT * FROM [Articles] WHERE ([Category] = ??? Result of prior select) Can this be done in 1 select command, or would a store procedure need to be written? I am a little lost, sincr I am using a SQLDataSource, and it will be displayed with a Repeater. Thanks!

Hopefully this will be painless for you guys/gals - however due to my lack of skills/knowledge I need some clarification.
I have table_X which I have a trigger on INSERT setup. This trigger updates Field_2 = '1' and inserts some rows in another table.
Is there some way that I can restrict this trigger to only run when Field_1 = "BLAH" So essentially I am trying to find out how I can pull information/data from the record that fired the trigger and use this in the trigger? (ie to check if Field_1 = "BLAH" and to use Field_3 to further restrict the underlying triggers' updates and inserts)
Hopefully I have given enough information on this one - if not please let me know any points that I should need to clarify.
I realize this query is inherently incorrect, but my issue is mainly syntax. The line, "WHEN a.order_id <> b.order_id THEN" is wrong. I want to ensure that a.order_id is not in the settlement table. So I was thinking something along the lines of "WHEN a.order_id not in (select order_id from settlement)" which I know will cause a slower response time, but I'm willing to deal with it. In any case, that syntax doesn't appear to work.

I am trying to pull some "notes" from a sql database.....the notes thatare put into the database come via the web and the user is entering itfor a certain task. they are stored in their own table and field andget assigned and incremental ID #.I want to be able to pull up the latest entry to the task, not all ofthe notes just the latest one.. The entry does get a timestamp in thefield so I am thinking I might be able to look at that fieldsomehow.... Right now my query shows all notes / entries for the task.I am an intermediate sql query guy so I hopefully expained enough toget assistance.Let me know if you need to know more.
I have a SQLAgent job created using isqlw to run the query and output the results to a file on the C drive. However, the job never completes, which is strange since the database is fairly new and when I run the query manually in a isqlw window, it completes and outputs the file in seconds.
