I'm trying to create a query which allows to categorize the average percentage for specific data per month.
Here's how my dataset presents itself:
Date
Name
Group
Percent
2022-01-21
name1
gr1
5.2
2022-01-22
name1
gr1
6.1
2022-01-26
name1
gr1
4.9
2022-02-01
name1
gr1
3.2
2022-02-03
name1
gr1
8.1
2022-01-22
name2
gr1
36.1
2022-01-25
name2
gr1
32.1
2022-02-10
name2
gr1
35.8
...
...
...
...
And here's what I want to obtain with my query (based on what I showed of the table):
Month
<=25%
25<_<=50%
50<_<=75%
75<_<=100%
01
1
1
0
0
02
1
1
0
0
...
...
...
...
...
The result needs to:
Be ordered by month
Have the average use for each name counted and categorized
So far I know how to get the average of the Percent value per Name:
SELECT Name,
AVG(Percent)
from `table`
where Group = 'gr1'
group by Name
and how to count iterations of Percent in the categories created for the query:
SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH FROM Date) as Month,
COUNT(CASE WHEN Percent <= 25 AND Group = 'gr1' THEN Name END) `_25`,
COUNT(CASE WHEN Percent > 25 AND Percent <= 50 AND Group = 'gr1' THEN Name END) `_50`,
COUNT(CASE WHEN Percent > 50 AND Percent <= 75 AND Group = 'gr1' THEN Name END) `_75`,
COUNT(CASE WHEN Percent > 75 AND Percent <= 100 AND Group = 'gr1' THEN Name END) `_100`,
FROM `table`
GROUP BY Month
ORDER BY Month
but this counts all iterations of every name where I want the average of those values.
I've been struggling to figure out how to combine the two queries or to create a new one that answers my need.
I'm working with the BigQuery service from Google Cloud
This query produces the needed result, based on your example. So basically this combines your 2 queries using subquery, where the subquery is responsible to calculate AVG grouped by Name, Month and Group, and the outer query is for COUNT and "categorization"
SELECT
Month,
COUNT(CASE
WHEN avg <= 25 THEN Name
END) AS _25,
COUNT(CASE
WHEN avg > 25
AND avg <= 50 THEN Name
END) AS _50,
COUNT(CASE
WHEN avg > 50
AND avg <= 75 THEN Name
END) AS _75,
COUNT(CASE
WHEN avg > 75
AND avg <= 100 THEN Name
END) AS _100
FROM
(
SELECT
EXTRACT(MONTH from Date) AS Month,
Name,
AVG(Percent) AS avg
FROM
table1
GROUP BY Month, Name, Group
HAVING Group = 'gr1'
) AS namegr
GROUP BY Month
This is the result:
Month
_25
_50
_75
_100
1
1
1
0
0
2
1
1
0
0
See also Fiddle (BUT on MySql) - http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/16c5882/9
You can use this query to Group By Month and each Name
SELECT CONCAT(EXTRACT(MONTH FROM Date), ', ', Name) AS DateAndName,
CASE
WHEN AVG(Percent) <= 25 THEN '1'
ELSE '0'
END AS '<=25%',
CASE
WHEN AVG(Percent) > 25 AND AVG(Percent) <= 50 THEN '1'
ELSE '0'
END AS '25<_<=50%',
CASE
WHEN AVG(Percent) > 50 AND AVG(Percent) <= 75 THEN '1'
ELSE '0'
END AS '50<_<=75%',
CASE
WHEN AVG(Percent) > 75 AND AVG(Percent) <= 100 THEN '1'
ELSE '0'
END AS '75<_<=100%'
from DataTable /*change to your table name*/
group by EXTRACT(MONTH FROM Date), Name
order by DateAndName
It gives the following result:
DateAndName
<=25%
25<_<=50%
50<_<=75%
75<_<=100%
1, name1

I want to count the distinct amount of users over the last 60 days, and then, count the distinct amount of users over the last 59 days, and so on and so forth.
Ideally, the output would look like this (TARGET OUTPUT)
Day Distinct Users
60 200
59 200
58 188
57 185
56 180
[...] [...]
where 60 days is the max total possible distinct users, and then 59 would have a little less and so on and so forth.
my query looks like this.
select
count(distinct (case when datediff(day,DATE,current_date) <= 60 then USER_ID end)) as day_60,
count(distinct (case when datediff(day,DATE,current_date) <= 59 then USER_ID end)) as day_59,
count(distinct (case when datediff(day,DATE,current_date) <= 58 then USER_ID end)) as day_58
FROM Table
The issue with my query is that This outputs the data by column instead of by rows (like shown below) AND, most importantly, I have to write out this logic 60x for each of the 60 days.
Current Output:
Day_60 Day_59 Day_58
209 207 207
Is it possible to write the SQL in a way that creates the target as shown initially above?
Using below data in CTE format -
with data_cte(dates,userid) as

If you need to prefix 'day' to each date diff count, you can
add and outer query to previously fetched data-set and add the needed prefix to the date diff column as following -
I am using CTE syntax, but you may use sub-query given you will select from table -
,cte_1 as (
select datediff(day,dates,current_date()) ddiff,
count(userid) cnt,
count(distinct userid) cnt_d
from data_cte
group by dates
having ddiff<=43)
select 'day_'||to_char(ddiff) days,
cnt,
cnt_d
from cte_1;

Updated the answer to get distinct user count for number of days range.
A clause can be included in the final query to limit to number of days needed.

You can do unpivot after getting your current output.
sample one.
select
*
from (
select
209 Day_60,
207 Day_59,
207 Day_58
)unpivot ( cnt for days in (Day_60,Day_59,Day_58));
I have a table with the columns Age, Period and Year. The column Age always starts with 0 and doesn't have a fixed maximum value (I used 'Age' 0 to 30 in this example but the range could also be 0 to 100 etc.), the values Period and Year only appear in certain rows at certain ages.
However at what Age the values for Period and Year appear, changes and the solution should therefore be dynamic. What is the best way to fill in the NULL values with correct Period and Year?
I am using SQL Server.
Age Period Year
-----------------
0 NULL NULL
1 NULL NULL
2 NULL NULL
3 NULL NULL
4 NULL NULL
5 NULL NULL
6 NULL NULL
7 NULL NULL
8 NULL NULL
9 NULL NULL
10 NULL NULL
11 NULL NULL
12 NULL NULL
13 NULL NULL
14 NULL NULL
15 NULL NULL
16 NULL NULL
17 NULL NULL
18 NULL NULL
19 NULL NULL
20 NULL NULL
21 46 2065
22 NULL NULL
23 NULL NULL
24 NULL NULL
25 NULL NULL
26 51 2070
27 NULL NULL
28 NULL NULL
29 NULL NULL
30 NULL NULL
The result should look like this, the numbers for Period and Year should be increased and/or decrease from the last known values for Period and Year.
Age Period Year

Here is an UPDATE to my question as I didn't specify my requirement detailed enough:
The solution should be able to handle different combinations of Age, Period and Year. My start point will always be a known Age, Period and Year combination. However, the combination Age = 21, Period = 46 and Year = 2065 (or 26|51|2070 as the second combination) in my example is not static. The value at Age = 21 could be anything e.g. Period = 2 and Year = 2021. Whatever the combination (Age, Period, Year) is, the solution should fill in the gaps and finish the sequence counting up and down from the known values for Period and Year. If a Period value sequence becomes negative the solutions should return NULL values, if possible.
Seem you have always the same increment for age and year
so
select age, isnull(period,age +25) Period, isnull(year,age+44) year
from yourtable
or the standard function coalesce (as suggested by Gordon Linoff)
select age, coalesce(period,age +25) Period, coalesce(year,age+44) year
from yourtable
Tabel creation code
create table yourtable ( AGE int , Period int, Year int )
insert into yourtable
Select 0 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 1 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 2 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 3 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 4 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 5 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 6 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 7 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 8 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 9 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 10 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 11 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 12 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 13 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 14 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 15 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 16 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 17 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 18 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 19 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 20 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 21 AS AGE ,46 As Period ,2065 As Year UNION all
Select 22 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 23 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 24 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 25 AS AGE , 51 As Period ,2070 As Year UNION all
Select 26 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 27 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 28 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 29 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year UNION all
Select 30 AS AGE , null As Period , null As Year
**Steps **
We need to get one row with non null value for Period and year.
Using age get first value for both the column .
Now just add respective age column value and fill full table .
Code to fix the serial
;with tmp as
(select top 1 * from yourtable where Period is not null and year is not null)
update yourtable
set Period = (tmp.Period - tmp.age) + yourtable.age
, year = (tmp.year - tmp.age) + yourtable.age
from yourtable , tmp
OR
Declare #age int ,#Year int ,#Period int
select #age = age , #Year = year - (age +1) ,#Period = Period- (AGE +1)
from yourtable where Period is not null and year is not null
update yourtable
set Period =#Period + age
,Year =#year + age
from yourtable
You finally want three sequences with different start values. Then you simply need to calculate an offset and add it to age:
with cte as
(
select age
,max(period - age) over () + age as period -- adjusted period
,max(yr - age) over () + age as yr -- adjusted yr
from #yourtable
)
select age
-- If a Period value sequence becomes negative the solutions should return NULL
,case when period >0 then period end as period
,yr
from cte
See fiddle
-- hope you can manage the syntax error. but some logic like given below should work in this case where we can make period an origin to calculate other missing values. good luck!
declare #knownperiod int;
declare #knownperiodage int;
declare #agetop int;
declare #agebottom int;
#knownperiod = select top 1 period from table1 where period is not null
#knownperiodage = select top 1 age from table1 where period is not null
while(#knownperiodage >= 0)
begin
#knownperiod = #knownperiod -1 ;
#knownperiodage = #knownperiodage -1;
update table1 set period = #knownperiod, year = YEAR(GetDate())+#knownperiod-1 where age = #knownperiodage
end
-- now for bottom age
#knownperiod = select top 1 period from table1 where period is null or year is null
#knownperiodage = select top 1 age from table1 where period is null or year is null
while(#knownperiodage <= (Select max(age) from table1))
begin
#knownperiod = #knownperiod +1 ;
#knownperiodage = #knownperiodage +1;
update table1 set period = #knownperiod, year = YEAR(GetDate())+#knownperiod-1 where age = #knownperiodage
end
Is the process to first calculate the increments (age -> period and age -> year) then simply add those increments to the age values?
This assumes the differences between age and period, and age and year, are consistent across rows (just not filled in sometimes).
As such, you could use the following to first calculate the increments (PeriodInc, YrInc) and then select the values with the increments added (noting that if period goes negative, it gets NULL).
; WITH PeriodInc AS (SELECT TOP 1 Period - Age AS PeriodInc FROM #yourtable WHERE Period IS NOT NULL),
YrInc AS (SELECT TOP 1 Yr - Age AS YrInc FROM #yourtable WHERE Yr IS NOT NULL)
SELECT Age,
CASE WHEN (Age + PeriodInc) >= 0 THEN (Age + PeriodInc) ELSE NULL END AS Period,
Age + YrInc AS Yr
FROM #yourtable
CROSS JOIN PeriodInc
CROSS JOIN YrInc
Here is a DB_Fiddle with the code
This solution takes 4 inputs:
#list_length -- (integer) the number of rows to generate (up to 12^5=248,832)
#start_age -- (integer) beginning age
#start_period -- (integer) beginning period
#start_year -- (integer) beginning year
For any combination of inputs this code generates the requested output. If either the Age or Year is calculated to be negative then it is converted to NULL. The current limit to the list length could be increased to whatever is necessary. The technique of creating a row_number using cross applied rows is known to be very fast when generating large sequences. Above about 500 rows it's always faster than a recursion based CTE. At small row numbers there's little to no performance difference between the two techniques.
Here are the code and output to match the example data.
Inputs
declare
#list_length int=31,
#start_age int=21,
#start_period int=46,
#start_year int=2065;
Code
with
n(n) as (select * from (values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9),(10),(11),(12)) v(n)),
tally_cte(n) as (
select row_number() over (order by (select null))
from n n1 cross join n n2 cross join n n3 cross join n n4 cross join n n5)
select p.Age,
case when p.[Period]<0 then null else p.[Period] end [Period],
case when p.[Year]<0 then null else p.[Year] end [Year]
from tally_cte t
cross apply
(select (t.n-1) [Age], (t.n-1)+(#start_period-#start_age) [Period],
(t.n-1)+(#start_year-#start_age) [Year]) p
where n<=#list_length;

Imo this is a flexible and efficient way to meet all of the requirements. Please let me know if there are any issues.
This reads like a gaps-and-islands problem, where "empty" rows are the gaps and non-empty rows are the islands.
You want to fill the gaps. Your question is a bit tricky, because you do not clearly describe how to proceed when a gap row has both preceding and following islands - and what to do if they are not consistent.
Let me assume that you want to derive the value from the following island if there is one available, and fall back of the precedng island.
Here is an approach using lateral joins to retrieve the next and preceding non-empty row:
select t.age,
coalesce(t.period, n.period - n.diff, p.period - p.diff) period,
coalesce(t.year, n.year - n.diff, p.year - p.diff) year
from mytable t
outer apply (
select top (1) t1.*, t1.age - t.age diff
from mytable t1
where t1.age > t.age and t1.period is not null and t1.year is not null
order by t1.age
) n
outer apply (
select top (1) t1.*, t1.age - t.age diff
from mytable t1
where t1.age < t.age and t1.period is not null and t1.year is not null
order by t1.age desc
) p
order by t.age
Actually, this would probably be more efficiently performed with window functions. We can implement the very same logic by building groups of records with window counts, then doing the computation within the groups:
select
age,
coalesce(
period,
max(period) over(partition by grp2) - max(age) over(partition by grp2) + age,
max(period) over(partition by grp1) - min(age) over(partition by grp1) + age
) period,
coalesce(
year,
max(year) over(partition by grp2) - max(age) over(partition by grp2) + age,
max(year) over(partition by grp1) - min(age) over(partition by grp1) + age
) year
from (
select t.*,
count(period) over(order by age) grp1,
count(period) over(order by age desc) grp2
from mytable t
) t
order by age
Demo on DB Fiddle - both queries yield:
age | period | year
--: | -----: | ---:
0 | 25 | 2044
1 | 26 | 2045
2 | 27 | 2046

Also you can use recursive CTE (it can handle any variation of data in the table except only one that has no populated period and year at all):
WITH cte AS ( -- get any filled period and year
SELECT TOP 1 period - age delta,
[year]-period start_year
FROM tablename
WHERE period is not null and [year] is not null
), seq AS ( --get min and max age values
SELECT MIN(age) as min_age, MAX(age) as max_age
FROM tablename
), go_recursive AS (
SELECT min_age age,
min_age+delta period ,
start_year+min_age+delta year,
max_age
FROM seq
CROSS JOIN cte --That will generate the initial first row
UNION ALL
SELECT age + 1,
period +1,
year + 1,
max_age
FROM go_recursive
WHERE age < max_age --This part increments the data from first row
)
SELECT age,
period,
[year]
FROM go_recursive
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
-- If you know there are some limit of rows in that kind of tables
--use this row count instead 0
I have a table say (TimeValue) something like this
Time Value Owner
======================
1 10 A
2 20 B
3 30 C
4 40 A
5 50 B
6 60 C
7 70 A
8 80 B
Now I have three sql statement like the followings
select owner, value as 'First sql' from TimeValue where time >= 1 and time <= 3 group by owner
select owner, value as 'Second sql' from TimeValue where time >= 4 and time <= 6 group by owner
select owner, value as 'Third sql' from TimeValue where time >= 7 and time <= 9 group by owner
Now these are the result of the above sql
1.
Value Owner
=================
10 A
20 B
30 C
2.
Value Owner
=================
40 A
50 B
60 C
3
Value Owner
===============
70 A
80 B
90 C
My question, what would be the sql statement if I want the following result??
Owner First SQL Second SQL Third SQL
==================================================
A 10 40 70
B 20 50 80
C 30 60 90
Thank you in advance
One way is to use a CASE statement, like this:
SELECT
owner
, MAX(CASE WHEN time >= 1 AND time <= 3 THEN value ELSE NULL END) AS FIRST
, MAX(CASE WHEN time >= 4 AND time <= 6 THEN value ELSE NULL END) AS SECOND
, MAX(CASE WHEN time >= 7 AND time <= 9 THEN value ELSE NULL END) AS THIRD
FROM TimeValue
GROUP BY owner
Note that you need an aggregating function, such as MAX, around value. In fact, many RDBMS engines would not even take SQL without an aggregating function around it.
SQL FIDDLE
select owner,
SUM(case when (time >= 1 and time <= 3) then value end) as 'FirstSQL',
SUM(case when (time >= 4 and time <= 6) then value end) as 'SecondSQL',
SUM(case when (time >= 7 and time <= 9) then value end) as 'ThirdSQL'
from TimeValue
group by owner
base on your example you should use SUM instead of MAX
The same idea with dasblinkenlight but different approach and I agree on aggregating function, such as MAX or SUM
SELECT
owner,
MAX(IF(time between 1 and 3, value,NULL) ) as first,
MAX(IF(time between 4 and 6, value,NULL) ) as sec,
MAX(IF(time between 7 and 9, value,NULL) ) as third
FROM TimeValue
GROUP BY owner
you can also use self-joins:
select
tv0.owner
, tv0.value sql1
, tv1.value sql2
, tv2.value sql3
from timevalue tv0
inner join timevalue tv1 on tv1.owner = tv0.owner
inner join timevalue tv2 on tv2.owner = tv0.owner
where tv0.time between 1 and 3
and tv1.time between 4 and 6
and tv2.time between 7 and 9
I am using sql server and this is my table structure
start end interval
1 3 1
9 12 1
16 20 2
100 120 5
expected result
1
2
3
9
10
11
12
16
18
20
100
105
110
115
120
i tried this before posting here
select start as result,end1,interval
from table
union
select result+1,interval,end1,interval
from table
This is a perfect place to use a CTE. The following code should give you the answer you're looking for:
;WITH IntervalCTE AS
(
SELECT [start] AS Value, [end], [interval]
FROM T
UNION ALL
SELECT [Value] + [interval], [end], [interval]
FROM IntervalCTE
WHERE [Value] < [end]
)
SELECT Value FROM IntervalCTE ORDER BY Value
I've also created a SQL Fiddle that you can look at.
