Problem With Group By When Using Case Statements In The Select List.
Oct 11, 2007
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 know I should know the answer to this, but I just can't quite get the syntax down
Code: Select case when zipCode = '10185' Then 'Deliver' Else when zipCode = '2309' And paid = 'Yes' Then 'Deliver' Else When zipCode = '1291' And paid = 'Yes' Then 'Deliver' Else When zipCode = '88221' And paid = 'No' Then 'Hold' Else when zipCode = '34123' Then 'Deliver' End From postalDeliveryDatabase
I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 as a test environment. I have it connected to a SQL 2000 server. I would like to use a Select Case Statement with the name of a column from a SQL Query as the Case Trigger. Assuming the SQLDataSource is named tCOTSSoftware and the column I want to use is Type, it would look like the following in classic ASP: Select Case tCOTSSoftware("Type") Case 1 execute an SQL Update Command Case 2 execute a different SQL Update Command End Select What would a comparable ASP.Net (Visual Basic) statement look like? How would I access the column name used in the SQLDataSource?
I am trying to gather counts for table imports made for files from friday - sunday and create a variable that will be the body of an email. I'd like to use either a case statement or a while statement since the query is the same but the values must be collected for each day (friday, saturday and sunday) and will all be included in the same email.
I have declared all variables appropriately but I will leave that section of the code out.
Select @ifiledate = iFileDate from tblTelemark where iFileDate = CASE WHEN iFileDate = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()-3, 101), '/','') THEN
Select @countfri1 = Count(*) from tbl1 Select @countfri2 = Count(*) from tbl2 Select @countfri3 = Count(*) from tbl3 Select @countfri4 = Count(*) from tbl4
WHEN iFileDate = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()-2, 101), '/','') THEN Select @countsat1 = Count(*) from tbl1 Select @countsat2 = Count(*) from tbl2 Select @countsat3 = Count(*) from tbl3 Select @countsat4 = Count(*) from tbl4
WHEN iFileDate = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE()-1, 101), '/','') THEN Select @countsun1 = Count(*) from tbl1 Select @countsun2 = Count(*) from tbl2 Select @countsun3 = Count(*) from tbl3 Select @countsun4 = Count(*) from tbl4
I had to enable identity_insert on a bunch of tables and I have already done that. Now I need to modify my insert into select * from statements to include column list names along with identity columns for select as well as insert statements. The DDL is same but they are both different databases.There are almost 100 tables that it needs to be modified. Is there a way we can generate scripts for insert and select for each individual table along with their column lists including the identity column?
I am fairly new with SQL and still learning. I have used a case statemtent for a column in my select list and want to use the results of that statement's field in my WHERE clause but it is not working for me. Here is the code I have so far:
SELECT l.loanid, p.investorid, l.duedate, case when pc.duedate >= l.duedate then pc.duedate end as RateDueDate, pc.interestrate FROM loan l inner join participation p on p.loanid = l.loanid inner join paymentchange pc on pc.loanid = l.loanid where p.investorid = '12345' and RateDueDate is not null order by l.loanid, pc.duedate
I want to put the results of this case statment in my where clause like highlighted above but it is not working because RateDueDate is not an actual column in the table. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hard to write a subject line to describe this one.
Anayway, I have a table with names and address plus an extra field noting a part number of product.
I'd like to build a SELECT string that will return one result for each name/address (uniques only in other words) and build a comma delimited field of all the part numbers for that name/address.
Example:
NAME ADDRESS PART NUMBER John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5000 John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 6650 Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 1255 John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5144 Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 2399
So I'd like my results to look like this:
NAME ADDRESS PARTS John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5000,6650,5144 Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 1255,2399
I have 2 piece of code designed to do the same thing. My problem is, i'm not getting the same results.
Code 1 where the results are correct
Code:
select Count(*) as TotalCount, Sum(DistAmt) as TotalSum from table1 inner join table2 on table2.id = table1.id where MailTypeID = 3 AND MailEventID = 2 and table1.IsActive = 1
code 2 - Y is correct, but Z is not, and not only is it not correct, but it is returning a number which equals more then the total rows from the table.
Code:
select Y = sum(case when mailtypeid = 3 and maileventid = 2 and IsActive = 1 then distamt else 0 end), Z = count(case when mailtypeid = 3 and maileventid = 2 and IsActive = 1 then 1 else 0 end) from table1 inner join table2 on table2.id = table1.id
Is there a way to use more criteria in a CASE statement other than CASE WHEN expression THEN value ELSE value END
I need to test if the count is greater than 0. If so, then perform the case statement, else return zeros. Currently there are entries where the values are blank. These blank values are causing errors in the application and unfortunately, I am not able to update these values.
So far I have the following, but I am getting an error stating "An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference."
Thanks in advance!
Code:
IF @Qid = 4 SELECT @Exp as Status, COUNT(*) AS Total, @CourseID as CourseID,
(SELECT question FROM tableQuestions WHERE qid = @Qid) AS Question,
IF COUNT(*)>0 THEN
1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN A.Q1 > 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Positive, 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN A.Q1 = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Neutral, 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN A.Q1 < 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Negative, 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN A.Q1 = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS NA ELSE 0 AS Positive, 0 AS Neutral, 0 AS Negative, 0 AS NA
END IF
FROM table1 A INNER JOIN table2 B ON A.SessionID = B.SessionID
WHERE (B.CourseID = @CourseID) AND (A.SubmitDate >= @BeginDate) AND (A.SubmitDate <=@EndDate)
Does the ELSE have to state "WHEN [BG_STATUS] <> 'Blocked' and [BG_STATUS] <> 'Closed', etc? Do I have to delineate for the ELSE statement everything that BG_STATUS is *not* equal to? Seems there ought to be a way but I can't find it.
SELECT BG_SEVERITY AS 'Severity', SUM(CASE WHEN [BG_STATUS] = 'Blocked' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as 'Blocked', SUM(CASE WHEN [BG_STATUS] = 'Closed' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as 'Closed', SUM(CASE WHEN [BG_STATUS] = 'Customer Test' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as 'Customer Test', SUM(CASE WHEN [BG_STATUS] = 'Deferred' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as 'Deferred',
I am creating a stored procedure which receives the following 4 variables. However, VacancySectorID is the only madatory variable.
@VacancySectorID int = NULL, (mandatory) @VacancyRegionID int = NULL, optional) @VacancyTypeID int = NULL, (optional) @VacancyKeywords nvarchar(64) = NULL, (optional)
My objective is to dynamically build the WHERE statement which in turn will return either one or more of the variables and the required data. The following code works for a single if else but it appears that you cannot have more than one if else statement.
Anyones input would be greatly appreciated.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Public_GetVacancyListingBySearchCriteria] ( @VacancySectorID int = NULL, @VacancyRegionID int = NULL, @VacancyTypeID int = NULL, @VacancyKeywords nvarchar(64) = NULL ) AS --SET NOCOUNT ON; IF @VacancySectorID IS NULL AND @VacancyRegionID Is NULL AND @VacancyTypeID IS NULL AND @VacancyKeywords IS NULL BEGIN SELECTviewVacancies.* FROMviewVacancies WHEREVacancyActive = 1 AND VacancySectorID = @VacancySectorID ORDER BYVacancyPosted DESC, VacancyTitle END ELSE BEGIN SELECTviewVacancies.* FROMviewVacancies WHEREVacancyActive = 1 ORDER BYVacancyPosted DESC, VacancyTitle END
whats the most efficient way to do this? I have a column that contains three values. A, B, C If colVal = A add one to batch a, if B add one to batch b...ect . Then display all three values
hi, I want to know how can i equate the following case statements into one Condition? Following is my Code

I'm trying to make a view that uses organization name from one tableand contact first and last name from another table. In the view Ihave a field that I want to show Organization followed by the maincontact. Problem is if the organization field or name field is NULLthen it doesn't show anything. If one field is empty I still want itto show the other field in the table.Example:Org1--ContactOrg2--ContactOrg3 (Still shows org even without a contact name)Contact (Still shows contact even without an org name)Tried using a CASE statement but didn't work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to look at a value in a variable and based on that value run different Data Flow Tasks?
For example, let's say I have an SSIS package that contains a variable named Client and 3 separate Data Flow Tasks. I would like to do this: if Client = 1 then run Data Flow 1 else if Client = 2 then run Data Flow 2 else run Data Flow 3.
I'am trying to program a nested CASE statements (if this is not possible, does anyone have any alternate suggestions ?) and I'm getting syntax errors. The statement is:
SELECT @cmdLine = CASE @BackupType WHEN 1 THEN Select @tmpStr = CASE @initFlag WHEN 1 THEN 'BACKUP Database ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ' , SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' ELSE 'BACKUP Database ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH NOINIT, NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ' , SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' END WHEN 2 THEN Select @tmpStr = CASE @initFlag WHEN 1 THEN 'BACKUP Database ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH DIFFERENTIAL, INIT , NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ', SKIP, STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' ELSE 'BACKUP Database ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH DIFFERENTIAL, NOINIT , NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ', SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' END WHEN 3 THEN Select @tmpStr = CASE @initFlag WHEN 1 THEN 'BACKUP Log ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ', SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' ELSE 'BACKUP LOG ' + @databaseName + 'TO '+ @backupDeviceName + ' WITH NOINIT, NOUNLOAD, NAME = ' + @backupJobName + ', SKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT' END ELSE '' END
I am wondering if there is a way that we could do a nesting case statement in an SQL Query?
This is what I have now... FicaWages = CASE WHEN (UPR00900.FICAMWGS_1 + UPR00900.FICAMWGS_2) >= '84900' AND UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 1 THEN '0' WHEN UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 0 THEN '0' ELSE (UPR30100.GRWGPRN - (SELECT SUM(UPR30300.UPRTRXAM) FROM UPR30300 WHERE UPR30300.EMPLOYID = UPR00100.EMPLOYID AND UPR30300.PAYROLCD LIKE '3%' AND AUCTRLCD = 'UPRCC00000007')) END
What I want:
FicaWages = CASE WHEN ('Sql Statement') = 'GRM' THEN CASE WHEN (UPR00900.FICAMWGS_1+UPR00900.FICAMWGS_2) >= '84900' AND UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 1 THEN '0' WHEN UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 0 THEN '0' ELSE (UPR30100.GRWGPRN - ('Sql Statement')) END ELSE CASE WHEN (UPR00900.FICAMWGS_1+UPR00900.FICAMWGS_2) >= '84900' AND UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 1 THEN '0' WHEN UPR00400.SBJTSSEC = 0 THEN '0' ELSE (UPR30100.GRWGPRN - ('Sql Statement')) END END
Is there a way of improving the SUM statements below? When I run the query without them it's very fast but with them it takes ages
SELECT r.dbPatID, p.dbPatFirstName, p.dbPatLastName, r.dbstatusdesc, r.dbAddDate, r.LastName, r.dbStaffLastName , SUM(CASE WHEN t.LedgerAmount > 0 AND t.LedgerType !=29 AND t.LedgerType !=30 AND t.LedgerType != 31 AND t.LedgerType != 1 OR t.LedgerType = 16 THEN t.LedgerAmount ELSE 0.00 END) AS Charges, SUM(CASE WHEN t.LedgerAmount < 0 AND t.LedgerType != 1 AND t.LedgerType != 16 AND t.LedgerType != 45 OR t.LedgerType = 29 OR t.LedgerType = 30 OR t.LedgerType = 31 THEN t.LedgerAmount ELSE 0.00 END) AS Payments,
Hi i am having some trouble with a nested case statement, what i want to do is set the value of a new column called Result depending on a series of case statements. Basically i want to check Test.Webstatus = 'Rd' and FinalResult = 'true' if this is true i want it to set the value in the Results field to ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay then go through all the limits fields adding either the value of the field or 'blank' onto the end of the value in the Results field, depending on if the limits field has Null or a value in it. Producing a value in the Results field similiar to: 10~kg:10:5:2:1 or 10~kg:blank:5:blank:1 etc
select ClientRef, Sample.WebStatus as SampleStatus, Analysis, FinalResult, Test.WebStatus, 'Result' = Case when Test.WebStatus = 'Rd' and FinalResult = 'true' then Case Case when UpperCriticalLimit is null then ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':blank' else ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':' + UpperCriticalLimit end Case when UpperWarningLimit is null then ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':blank' else ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':' + UpperWarningLimit end Case when LowerWarningLimit is null then ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':blank' else ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':' + UpperWarningLimit end Case when LowerCriticalLimit is null then ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':blank' else ReportableResult + '~' + ReportableUnitDisplay + ':' + LowerCriticalLimit end end when FinalResult = 'false' then Null else Test.WebStatus from Job inner join sample on Job.JobID = Sample.JobID inner join Test on Sample.SampleID = Test.SampleID left join Result on Test.TestID = Result.TestID
It will be part of the stored proc, but for now I couldn't even get it running in ssms. It will be two parameters/variables, one for order by column name and other for order by direction, i.e. desc or asc.I have tried following three ways, but none is working:
(1) order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID end desc case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID end asc
(2) order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID desc end case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID asc end
(3) ORDER BY CASE @Sort_by when '[A_ID]' then [A_ID] end Case @Sort_Dir when 'Desc' then desc end
Hi, I have this update statement that works, it updates the totalamount to calc amount, but I want to update totalamount only when it is not equal to calcamt.I have tried many things but in vain.Can some one please help me. How do i use case statements to update only when totalamount!=calcamt.
update c set totalamount= calcamt from Prepay c JOIN (select sum(amt) as calcamt, payid from pay group by payid )b ON b.payid= c.payid where c.cust_no='somenum'
This query brings back 2 rows for each record, one for each case statement. How can I change this to bring in the contsupp.notes for both types of data? Or could it be fixed in the joins?

from Contact1 inner join contact2 on Contact1.Accountno = Contact2.Accountno inner join contsupp on Contact1.Accountno=Contsupp.Accountno where contact1.key5 not like '' and contsupp.contsupref='Delivery Notes' or contsupp.contsupref ='Cover Change Slip' order by contact1.key5
Is it possible to use nested case statements in the SQL for your dataset when you are using Reporting Services? I keep getting an error saying "Unable to parse expression" and my report won't run.
I know this is quite a complex statement, so at first I was worried that maybe I had brackets in the wrong places, but I've been through the code and made sure that every opening bracket has an equivalent closing bracket, and everything appears to be OK in that respect. So I'm thinking that maybe the structure of my nested case statements is incorrect? The inner case statement is necessary to calculate whether a transaction is due, overdue or not due. The outer case statement depends on the result of the inner case statement.
Basically, we only want the calculations following the "THEN" in the outer case statement to be executed if the result of the inner case statement is "not due" and Field2 is greater than zero. If either of those criteria aren't met, then it should go straight to the ELSE NULL END statement and stop.

I need to breakdown some information with just initials (sometimes 2, sometimes 3 if the initials are already used) SQL Server throws the error of:
Msg 125, Level 15, State 4, Line 1
Case expressions may only be nested to level 10.
What should I alter, or how should I write this query so I can use all of the needed case statements? (their are actually about 24 when statements, but this is just to get a working example to display)
Select case when employee_name Like 'Jorge Jones' Then 'JJ' when employee_name Like 'Mike Mikes' Then 'MM' when employee_name Like 'Albert Alvarez' Then 'AA' when employee_name Like 'Hernandez-Sotata' Then 'HS'
So I'm thinking if I can have multiple statements within the CASE-THEN..or do I have to CASE out each individually? Kind of like this....
CASE WHEN [AddressType] = 'M' THEN [MailingAddress].[Address1] [MailingAddress].[Address2] [MailingAddress].[City] [MailingAddress].[State] [MailingAddress].[Zipcode] WHEN [AddressType] = 'D' THEN [DefaultAddress].[Address1] [DefaultAddress].[Address2] [DefaultAddress].[City] [DefaultAddress].[State] [DefaultAddress].[Zipcode]
