SQL with while loop to DAX conversion - sql

Trying to convert the SQL with while loop code into DAX. Trying to build this query without using temp tables as access is an issue on the database and only have views to work with. I believe best option for me is to code it in DAX. Could someone help with it.
DECLARE #sd DATETIME
DECLARE #ed DATETIME
SELECT #sd = CONVERT(DATETIME, '2021-01-31')
SELECT #ed = GETDATE()
DECLARE #date DATETIME = EOMONTH(#sd)
WHILE ( (#date) <= #ed )
BEGIN
SELECT MONTH(#date) as Month, YEAR(#date) as Year, DAY(#date) as Day, A.*
FROM [people] A
WHERE A.effective_date = (SELECT MAX(B.effective_date)
FROM [people] B
WHERE B.employee_id = A.employee_id
AND B.record_id = A.record_id
AND B.effective_date <= #date)
AND A.effective_sequence = (SELECT MAX(C.effective_sequence)
FROM [people] C
WHERE C.employee_id = A.employee_id
AND C.record_id = A.record_id
AND C.effective_date = A.effective_date)
ORDER BY A.employee_id;
SET #date = EOMONTH(DATEADD(MONTH,1,#date))
END

While you could do this as a view, you would either have to hard-code the start and end dates, or filter them afterwards (which is likely to be inefficient). Instead you can do this as an inline Table Valued Function.
We can use a virtual tally-table (generated with a couple cross-joins) to generate a row for each month
We can use row-numbering instead of the two subqueries
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetData (#sd DATETIME, #ed DATETIME)
RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN
WITH L0 AS (
SELECT *
FROM (VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) v(n)
),
L1 AS (
SELECT 1 n FROM L0 a CROSS JOIN L0 b
)
SELECT
MONTH(m.Month) as Month,
YEAR(m.Month) as Year,
DAY(m.Month) as Day,
p.* -- specify columns
FROM (
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.Month, p.employee_id, p.record_id ORDER BY p.effective_date, p.effective_sequence) AS rn
FROM [people] p
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(month, #sd, #ed) + 1)
DATEADD(month, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) - 1, EOMONTH(#sd)) AS Month
FROM L1
) m
WHERE p.effective_date <= m.Month
) p
WHERE p.rn = 1
;
Then in PowerBI you can just do for example
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GetData ('2021-01-31', GETDATE()) d
ORDER BY
d.employee_id
Note that you cannot put the ORDER BY within the function, it doesn't work.

Delete the records repeated by date, and keep the oldest

I have this query, and it returns the following result, I need to delete the records repeated by date, and keep the oldest, how could I do this?
select
a.EMP_ID, a.EMP_DATE,
from
EMPLOYES a
inner join
TABLE2 b on a.table2ID = b.table2ID and b.ID_TYPE = 'E'
where
a.ID = 'VJAHAJHSJHDAJHSJDH'
and year(a.DATE) = 2021
and month(a.DATE) = 1
and a.ID <> 31
order by
a.DATE;
Additionally, I would like to fill in the missing days of the month ... and put them empty if I don't have that data, can this be done?
I would appreciate if you could guide me to solve this problem
Thank you!
The other answers miss some of the requirement..
Initial step - do this once only. Make a calendar table. This will come in handy for all sorts of things over the time:
DECLARE #Year INT = '2000';
DECLARE #YearCnt INT = 50 ;
DECLARE #StartDate DATE = DATEFROMPARTS(#Year, '01','01')
DECLARE #EndDate DATE = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(YEAR, #YearCnt, #StartDate));
;WITH Cal(n) AS
(
SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT n + 1 FROM Cal
WHERE n < DATEDIFF(DAY, #StartDate, #EndDate)
),
FnlDt(d, n) AS
(
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, n, #StartDate), n FROM Cal
),
FinalCte AS
(
SELECT
[D] = CONVERT(DATE,d),
[Dy] = DATEPART(DAY, d),
[Mo] = DATENAME(MONTH, d),
[Yr] = DATEPART(YEAR, d),
[DN] = DATENAME(WEEKDAY, d),
[N] = n
FROM FnlDt
)
SELECT * INTO Cal FROM finalCte
ORDER BY [Date]
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0);

Now we can write some simple query to stick your data (with one small addition) onto it:
--your query, minus the date bits in the WHERE, and with a ROW_NUMBER
WITH yourQuery AS(
SELECT a.emp_id, a.emp_date,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY CAST(a.emp_date AS DATE) ORDER BY a.emp_date) rn
FROM EMPLOYES a
INNER JOIN TABLE2 b on a.table2ID = b.table2ID
WHERE a.emp_id = 'VJAHAJHSJHDAJHSJDH' AND a.id <> 31 AND b.id_type = 'E'
)
--your query, left joined onto the cal table so that you get a row for every day even if there is no emp data for that day
SELECT c.d, yq.*
FROM
Cal c
LEFT JOIN yourQuery yq
ON
c.d = CAST(yq.emp_date AS DATE) AND --cut the time off
yq.rn = 1 --keep only the earliest time per day
WHERE
c.d BETWEEN '2021-01-01' AND EOMONTH('2021-01-01')
We add a rownumbering to your table, it restarts every time the date changes and counts up in order of time. We make this into a CTE (or a subquery, CTE is cleaner) then we simply left join it to the calendar table. This means that for any date you don't have data, you still have the calendar date. For any days you do have data, the rownumber rn being a condition of the join means that only the first datetime from each day is present in the results
Note: something is wonky about your question . You said you SELECT a.emp_id and your results show 'VJAHAJHSJHDAJHSJDH' is the emp id, but your where clause says a.id twice, once as a string and once as a number - this can't be right, so I've guessed at fixing it but I suspect you have translated your query into something for SO, perhaps to hide real column names.. Also your SELECT has a dangling comma that is a syntax error.
If you have translated/obscured your real query, make absolutely sure you understand any answer here when translating it back. It's very frustrating when someone is coming back and saying "hi your query doesn't work" then it turns out that they damaged it trying to translate it back to their own db, because they hid the real column names in the question..
FInally, do not use functions on table data in a where clause; it generally kills indexing. Always try and find a way of leaving table data alone. Want all of january? Do like I did, and say table.datecolumn BETWEEN firstofjan AND endofjan etc - SQLserver at least stands a chance of using an index for this, rather than calling a function on every date in the table, every time the query is run
You can use ROW_NUMBER
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT a.EMP_ID, a.EMP_DATE,
RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY a.EMP_ID, CAST(a.DATE as Date) ORDER BY a.DATE ASC)
from EMPLOYES a INNER JOIN TABLE2 b
on a.table2ID = b.table2ID
and b.ID_TYPE = 'E'
where a.ID = 'VJAHAJHSJHDAJHSJDH'
and year(a.DATE) = 2021
and MONTH(a.DATE) = 1
and a.ID <> 31
)
SELECT * FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 1
Try with an aggregate function MAX or MIN
create table #tmp(dt datetime, val numeric(4,2))
insert into #tmp values ('2021-01-01 10:30:35', 1)
insert into #tmp values ('2021-01-02 10:30:35', 2)
insert into #tmp values ('2021-01-02 11:30:35', 3)
insert into #tmp values ('2021-01-03 10:35:35', 4)
select * from #tmp
select tmp.*
from #tmp tmp
inner join
(select max(dt) as dt, cast(dt as date) as dt_aux from #tmp group by cast(dt as date)) compressed_rows on
tmp.dt = compressed_rows.dt

Showing list of all 24 hours in sql server if there is no data also

I have a query where I need to show 24 hour calls for each day.
But I am getting the hours which I have calls only.
My requirement is I need to get all the hours split and 0 if there are no calls.
Please suggest
Below is my code.
select #TrendStartDate
,isd.Name
,isd.Call_ID
,isd.callType
,DATEPART(HOUR,isd.ArrivalTime)
from [PHONE_CALLS] ISD WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE CallType = 'Incoming'
and Name not in ('DefaultQueue')
and CAST(ArrivalTime as DATe) between #TrendStartDate and #TrendEndDate
The basic idea is that you use a table containing numbers from 0 to 23, and left join that to your data table:
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT TOP 24 ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ##SPID) - 1 As TheHour
FROM sys.objects
)
SELECT #TrendStartDate
,isd.Name
,isd.Call_ID
,isd.callType
,TheHour
FROM CTE
LEFT JOIN [PHONE_CALLS] ISD WITH (NOLOCK)
ON DATEPART(HOUR,isd.ArrivalTime) = TheHour
AND CallType = 'Incoming'
AND Name NOT IN ('DefaultQueue')
AND CAST(ArrivalTime as DATe) BETWEEN #TrendStartDate AND #TrendEndDate
If you have a tally table, you should use that. If not, the cte will provide you with numbers from 0 to 23.
If you have a numbers table you can use a query like the following:
SELECT d.Date,
h.Hour,
Calls = COUNT(pc.Call_ID)
FROM ( SELECT [Hour] = Number
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE Number >= 0
AND Number < 24
) AS h
CROSS JOIN
( SELECT Date = DATEADD(DAY, Number, #TrendStartDate)
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE Number <= DATEDIFF(DAY, #TrendStartDate, #TrendEndDate)
) AS d
LEFT JOIN [PHONE_CALLS] AS pc
ON pc.CallType = 'Incoming'
AND pc.Name NOT IN ('DefaultQueue')
AND CAST(pc.ArrivalTime AS DATE) = d.Date
AND DATEPART(HOUR, pc.ArrivalTime) = h.Hour
GROUP BY d.Date, h.Hour
ORDER BY d.Date, h.Hour;
The key is to get all the hours you need:
SELECT [Hour] = Number
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE Number >= 0
AND Number < 24
And all the days that you need in your range:
SELECT Date = DATEADD(DAY, Number, #TrendStartDate)
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE Number < DATEDIFF(DAY, #TrendStartDate, #TrendEndDate)
Then cross join the two, so that you are guaranteed to have all 24 hours for each day you want. Finally, you can left join to your call table to get the count of calls.
Example on DB<>Fiddle
You can use SQL SERVER recursivity with CTE to generate the hours between 0 and 23 and then a left outer join with the call table
You also use any other Method mentioned in this link to generate numbers from 0 to 23
Link to SQLFiddle
set dateformat ymd
declare #calls as table(date date,hour int,calls int)
insert into #calls values('2020-01-02',0,66),('2020-01-02',1,888),
('2020-01-02',2,5),('2020-01-02',3,8),
('2020-01-02',4,9),('2020-01-02',5,55),('2020-01-02',6,44),('2020-01-02',7,87),('2020-01-02',8,90),
('2020-01-02',9,34),('2020-01-02',10,22),('2020-01-02',11,65),('2020-01-02',12,54),('2020-01-02',13,78),
('2020-01-02',23,99);
with cte as (select 0 n,date from #calls union all select 1+n,date from cte where 1+n <24)
select distinct(cte.date),cte.n [Hour],isnull(ca.calls,0) calls from cte left outer join #calls ca on cte.n=ca.hour and cte.date=ca.date

Aggregate for each day over time series, without using non-equijoin logic

Initial Question
Given the following dataset paired with a dates table:
MembershipId | ValidFromDate | ValidToDate
==========================================
0001 | 1997-01-01 | 2006-05-09
0002 | 1997-01-01 | 2017-05-12
0003 | 2005-06-02 | 2009-02-07
How many Memberships were open on any given day or timeseries of days?
Initial Answer
Following this question being asked here, this answer provided the necessary functionality:
select d.[Date]
,count(m.MembershipID) as MembershipCount
from DIM.[Date] as d
left join Memberships as m
on(d.[Date] between m.ValidFromDateKey and m.ValidToDateKey)
where d.CalendarYear = 2016
group by d.[Date]
order by d.[Date];
though a commenter remarked that There are other approaches when the non-equijoin takes too long.
Followup
As such, what would the equijoin only logic look like to replicate the output of the query above?
Progress So Far
From the answers provided so far I have come up with the below, which outperforms on the hardware I am working with across 3.2 million Membership records:
declare #s date = '20160101';
declare #e date = getdate();
with s as
(
select d.[Date] as d
,count(s.MembershipID) as s
from dbo.Dates as d
join dbo.Memberships as s
on d.[Date] = s.ValidFromDateKey
group by d.[Date]
)
,e as
(
select d.[Date] as d
,count(e.MembershipID) as e
from dbo.Dates as d
join dbo.Memberships as e
on d.[Date] = e.ValidToDateKey
group by d.[Date]
),c as
(
select isnull(s.d,e.d) as d
,sum(isnull(s.s,0) - isnull(e.e,0)) over (order by isnull(s.d,e.d)) as c
from s
full join e
on s.d = e.d
)
select d.[Date]
,c.c
from dbo.Dates as d
left join c
on d.[Date] = c.d
where d.[Date] between #s and #e
order by d.[Date]
;
Following on from that, to split this aggregate into constituent groups per day I have the following, which is also performing well:
declare #s date = '20160101';
declare #e date = getdate();
with s as
(
select d.[Date] as d
,s.MembershipGrouping as g
,count(s.MembershipID) as s
from dbo.Dates as d
join dbo.Memberships as s
on d.[Date] = s.ValidFromDateKey
group by d.[Date]
,s.MembershipGrouping
)
,e as
(
select d.[Date] as d
,e..MembershipGrouping as g
,count(e.MembershipID) as e
from dbo.Dates as d
join dbo.Memberships as e
on d.[Date] = e.ValidToDateKey
group by d.[Date]
,e.MembershipGrouping
),c as
(
select isnull(s.d,e.d) as d
,isnull(s.g,e.g) as g
,sum(isnull(s.s,0) - isnull(e.e,0)) over (partition by isnull(s.g,e.g) order by isnull(s.d,e.d)) as c
from s
full join e
on s.d = e.d
and s.g = e.g
)
select d.[Date]
,c.g
,c.c
from dbo.Dates as d
left join c
on d.[Date] = c.d
where d.[Date] between #s and #e
order by d.[Date]
,c.g
;
Can anyone improve on the above?
If most of your membership validity intervals are longer than few days, have a look at an answer by Martin Smith. That approach is likely to be faster.
When you take calendar table (DIM.[Date]) and left join it with Memberships, you may end up scanning the Memberships table for each date of the range. Even if there is an index on (ValidFromDate, ValidToDate), it may not be super useful.
It is easy to turn it around.
Scan the Memberships table only once and for each membership find those dates that are valid using CROSS APPLY.
Sample data
DECLARE #T TABLE (MembershipId int, ValidFromDate date, ValidToDate date);
INSERT INTO #T VALUES
(1, '1997-01-01', '2006-05-09'),
(2, '1997-01-01', '2017-05-12'),
(3, '2005-06-02', '2009-02-07');
DECLARE #RangeFrom date = '2006-01-01';
DECLARE #RangeTo date = '2006-12-31';
Query 1
SELECT
CA.dt
,COUNT(*) AS MembershipCount
FROM
#T AS Memberships
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT dbo.Calendar.dt
FROM dbo.Calendar
WHERE
dbo.Calendar.dt >= Memberships.ValidFromDate
AND dbo.Calendar.dt <= Memberships.ValidToDate
AND dbo.Calendar.dt >= #RangeFrom
AND dbo.Calendar.dt <= #RangeTo
) AS CA
GROUP BY
CA.dt
ORDER BY
CA.dt
OPTION(RECOMPILE);
OPTION(RECOMPILE) is not really needed, I include it in all queries when I compare execution plans to be sure that I'm getting the latest plan when I play with the queries.
When I looked at the plan of this query I saw that the seek in the Calendar.dt table was using only ValidFromDate and ValidToDate, the #RangeFrom and #RangeTo were pushed to the residue predicate. It is not ideal. The optimiser is not smart enough to calculate maximum of two dates (ValidFromDate and #RangeFrom) and use that date as a starting point of the seek.
It is easy to help the optimiser:
Query 2
SELECT
CA.dt
,COUNT(*) AS MembershipCount
FROM
#T AS Memberships
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT dbo.Calendar.dt
FROM dbo.Calendar
WHERE
dbo.Calendar.dt >=
CASE WHEN Memberships.ValidFromDate > #RangeFrom
THEN Memberships.ValidFromDate
ELSE #RangeFrom END
AND dbo.Calendar.dt <=
CASE WHEN Memberships.ValidToDate < #RangeTo
THEN Memberships.ValidToDate
ELSE #RangeTo END
) AS CA
GROUP BY
CA.dt
ORDER BY
CA.dt
OPTION(RECOMPILE)
;
In this query the seek is optimal and doesn't read dates that may be discarded later.
Finally, you may not need to scan the whole Memberships table.
We need only those rows where the given range of dates intersects with the valid range of the membership.
Query 3
SELECT
CA.dt
,COUNT(*) AS MembershipCount
FROM
#T AS Memberships
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT dbo.Calendar.dt
FROM dbo.Calendar
WHERE
dbo.Calendar.dt >=
CASE WHEN Memberships.ValidFromDate > #RangeFrom
THEN Memberships.ValidFromDate
ELSE #RangeFrom END
AND dbo.Calendar.dt <=
CASE WHEN Memberships.ValidToDate < #RangeTo
THEN Memberships.ValidToDate
ELSE #RangeTo END
) AS CA
WHERE
Memberships.ValidToDate >= #RangeFrom
AND Memberships.ValidFromDate <= #RangeTo
GROUP BY
CA.dt
ORDER BY
CA.dt
OPTION(RECOMPILE)
;
Two intervals [a1;a2] and [b1;b2] intersect when
a2 >= b1 and a1 <= b2
These queries assume that Calendar table has an index on dt.
You should try and see what indexes are better for the Memberships table.
For the last query, if the table is rather large, most likely two separate indexes on ValidFromDate and on ValidToDate would be better than one index on (ValidFromDate, ValidToDate).
You should try different queries and measure their performance on the real hardware with real data. Performance may depend on the data distribution, how many memberships there are, what are their valid dates, how wide or narrow is the given range, etc.
I recommend to use a great tool called SQL Sentry Plan Explorer to analyse and compare execution plans. It is free. It shows a lot of useful stats, such as execution time and number of reads for each query. The screenshots above are from this tool.
On the assumption your date dimension contains all dates contained in all membership periods you can use something like the following.
The join is an equi join so can use hash join or merge join not just nested loops (which will execute the inside sub tree once for each outer row).
Assuming index on (ValidToDate) include(ValidFromDate) or reverse this can use a single seek against Memberships and a single scan of the date dimension. The below has an elapsed time of less than a second for me to return the results for a year against a table with 3.2 million members and general active membership of 1.4 million (script)
DECLARE #StartDate DATE = '2016-01-01',
#EndDate DATE = '2016-12-31';
WITH MD
AS (SELECT Date,
SUM(Adj) AS MemberDelta
FROM Memberships
CROSS APPLY (VALUES ( ValidFromDate, +1),
--Membership count decremented day after the ValidToDate
(DATEADD(DAY, 1, ValidToDate), -1) ) V(Date, Adj)
WHERE
--Members already expired before the time range of interest can be ignored
ValidToDate >= #StartDate
AND
--Members whose membership starts after the time range of interest can be ignored
ValidFromDate <= #EndDate
GROUP BY Date),
MC
AS (SELECT DD.DateKey,
SUM(MemberDelta) OVER (ORDER BY DD.DateKey ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) AS CountOfNonIgnoredMembers
FROM DIM_DATE DD
LEFT JOIN MD
ON MD.Date = DD.DateKey)
SELECT DateKey,
CountOfNonIgnoredMembers AS MembershipCount
FROM MC
WHERE DateKey BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
ORDER BY DateKey
Demo (uses extended period as the calendar year of 2016 isn't very interesting with the example data)
One approach is to first use an INNER JOIN to find the set of matches and COUNT() to project MemberCount GROUPed BY DateKey, then UNION ALL with the same set of dates, with a 0 on that projection for the count of members for each date. The last step is to SUM() the MemberCount of this union, and GROUP BY DateKey. As requested, this avoids LEFT JOIN and NOT EXISTS. As another member pointed out, this is not an equi-join, because we need to use a range, but I think it does what you intend.
This will serve up 1 year's worth of data with around 100k logical reads. On an ordinary laptop with a spinning disk, from cold cache, it serves 1 month in under a second (with correct counts).
Here is an example that creates 3.3 million rows of random duration. The query at the bottom returns one month's worth of data.

Here's how I'd solve this problem with equijoin:
--data generation
declare #Membership table (MembershipId varchar(10), ValidFromDate date, ValidToDate date)
insert into #Membership values
('0001', '1997-01-01', '2006-05-09'),
('0002', '1997-01-01', '2017-05-12'),
('0003', '2005-06-02', '2009-02-07')
declare #startDate date, #endDate date
select #startDate = MIN(ValidFromDate), #endDate = max(ValidToDate) from #Membership
--in order to use equijoin I need all days between min date and max date from Membership table (both columns)
;with cte as (
select #startDate [date]
union all
select DATEADD(day, 1, [date]) from cte
where [date] < #endDate
)
--in this query, we will assign value to each day:
--one, if project started on that day
--minus one, if project ended on that day
--then, it's enough to (cumulative) sum all this values to get how many projects were ongoing on particular day
select [date],
sum(case when [DATE] = ValidFromDate then 1 else 0 end +
case when [DATE] = ValidToDate then -1 else 0 end)
over (order by [date] rows between unbounded preceding and current row)
from cte [c]
left join #Membership [m]
on [c].[date] = [m].ValidFromDate or [c].[date] = [m].ValidToDate
option (maxrecursion 0)
Here's another solution:
--data generation
declare #Membership table (MembershipId varchar(10), ValidFromDate date, ValidToDate date)
insert into #Membership values

Pay attention, I think #PittsburghDBA is right when it says that current query return wrong result.
The last day of membership is not counted and so final sum is lower than it should be.
I have corrected it in this version.
This should improve a bit your actual progress:
declare #s date = '20160101';
declare #e date = getdate();
with
x as (
select d, sum(c) c
from (
select ValidFromDateKey d, count(MembershipID) c
from Memberships
group by ValidFromDateKey
union all
-- dateadd needed to count last day of membership too!!
select dateadd(dd, 1, ValidToDateKey) d, -count(MembershipID) c
from Memberships
group by ValidToDateKey
)x
group by d
),
c as
(
select d, sum(x.c) over (order by d) as c
from x
)
select d.day, c cnt
from calendar d
left join c on d.day = c.d
where d.day between #s and #e
order by d.day;
First of all, your query yields '1' as MembershipCount even if no active membership exists for the given date.
You should return SUM(CASE WHEN m.MembershipID IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS MembershipCount.
For optimal performance create an index on Memberships(ValidFromDateKey, ValidToDateKey, MembershipId) and another on DIM.[Date](CalendarYear, DateKey).
With that done, the optimal query shall be:
DECLARE #CalendarYear INT = 2000
SELECT dim.DateKey, SUM(CASE WHEN con.MembershipID IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS MembershipCount
FROM
DIM.[Date] dim
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT ValidFromDateKey, ValidToDateKey, MembershipID
FROM Memberships
WHERE
ValidFromDateKey <= CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(VARCHAR, #CalendarYear) + '1231')
AND ValidToDateKey >= CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(VARCHAR, #CalendarYear) + '0101')
) con
ON dim.DateKey BETWEEN con.ValidFromDateKey AND con.ValidToDateKey
WHERE dim.CalendarYear = #CalendarYear
GROUP BY dim.DateKey
ORDER BY dim.DateKey
Now, for your last question, what would be the equijoin equivalent query.
There is NO WAY you can rewrite this as a non-equijoin!
Equijoin doesn't imply using join sintax. Equijoin implies using an equals predicate, whatever the sintax.
Your query yields a range comparison, hence equals doesn't apply: a between or similar is required.

combining two CTE in a single query

Here i have two CTE and i need to select values from these two CTE as a single query. I can able to select values from a single CTE at a time but i dont know like how to merge these two CTE and select values from both CTE.
Here int the below query i can able to select values from second CTE
DECLARE #now DateTime;
DECLARE #Firstweekstart DateTime;
DECLARE #FirstweekEnd DateTime;
SET #now = CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(date,getdate()));
SET #Firstweekstart = DATEADD(
DD,
-(DATEPART(DW, #now - 7) - 1),
#now - 7);
SET #Firstweekstart = dateadd(ms, -1, #Firstweekstart)
SET #Firstweekend = DATEADD(
DD,
7 - (DATEPART(DW, #now - 7)),
#now - 7);
SET #Firstweekend = dateadd(ms, -3, #Firstweekend+1)
;WITH CTE1 AS
(
SELECT CHINFO.CHILDID,CHINFO.CONSUMERID,
DATEADD(DD, -(DATEPART(DW, CHINFO.Adddate)-1), CHINFO.Adddate) AS APPLICATIONUSAGESTARTDATE,
DATEDIFF(WW,CHINFO.Adddate,#now) AS WEEKNUMBER,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(PARTITION BY CHINFO.CHILDID ORDER BY CHINFO.Adddate ASC) AS RN
FROM BKA.CHILDINFORMATION CHINFO
LEFT OUTER JOIN BKA.CHILDEVENTS CHE
ON CHE.CHILDID = CHINFO.CHILDID
GROUP BY CHINFO.CHILDID,CHINFO.CONSUMERID,CHINFO.Adddate
)
,CTE2 as
(SELECT Distinct CHINFO.CHILDID ,CHE.TIMESTAMP
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CHINFO.CHILDID ORDER BY CHE.TIMESTAMP) row
FROM BKA.CHILDINFORMATION CHINFO
JOIN BKA.CHILDEVENTS CHE
ON CHE.CHILDID = CHINFO.CHILDID
WHERE CHE.TYPE = 'pottybreak'
AND CHE.ADDDATE BETWEEN #Firstweekstart AND #Firstweekend
GROUP BY CHINFO.CHILDID,CHE.TIMESTAMP
)
SELECT
a.CHILDID ,
AVG(CONVERT(DECIMAl,DATEDIFF ( minute , b.TIMESTAMP , a.TIMESTAMP))) as CURRENTWEEKTIMERRESTART
FROM
CTE2 a
LEFT JOIN CTE2 b
on a.CHILDID = b.CHILDID
and a.row = b.row+1
group by a.childid
I need to merge the below query with the above one
SELECT CTE1.CONSUMERID,
CTE1.CHILDID,
CTE1.APPLICATIONUSAGESTARTDATE,
CTE1.WEEKNUMBER
FROM CTE1
WHERE RN = 1 ORDER BY CTE1.CHILDID ASC
Any suggestion?
If you are joining values from CTE1 and CTE2 based on CHILDID column then you can write as:
SELECT
CTE1.CONSUMERID,
CTE1.CHILDID,
CTE1.APPLICATIONUSAGESTARTDATE,
CTE1.WEEKNUMBER,
-- a.CHILDID ,
AVG(CONVERT(DECIMAl,DATEDIFF ( minute , b.TIMESTAMP , a.TIMESTAMP)))
as CURRENTWEEKTIMERRESTART
FROM
CTE2 a
LEFT JOIN CTE2 b on a.CHILDID = b.CHILDID and a.row = b.row+1
LEFT JOIN CTE1 on CTE1.CHILDID = a.CHILDID and CTE1.RN = 1
group by CTE1.CONSUMERID,CTE1.CHILDID,CTE1.APPLICATIONUSAGESTARTDATE,CTE1.WEEKNUMBER
ORDER BY CTE1.CHILDID ASC

SQL grouping and running total of open items for a date range

I have a table of items that, for sake of simplicity, contains the ItemID, the StartDate, and the EndDate for a list of items.
ItemID StartDate EndDate
1 1/1/2011 1/15/2011
2 1/2/2011 1/14/2011
3 1/5/2011 1/17/2011
...
My goal is to be able to join this table to a table with a sequential list of dates,
and say both how many items are open on a particular date, and also how many items are cumulatively open.
Date ItemsOpened CumulativeItemsOpen
1/1/2011 1 1
1/2/2011 1 2
...
I can see how this would be done with a WHILE loop,
but that has performance implications. I'm wondering how
this could be done with a set-based approach?
SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN d.CheckDate = i.StartDate THEN 1 ELSE NULL END)
AS ItemsOpened
, COUNT(i.StartDate)
AS ItemsOpenedCumulative
FROM Dates AS d
LEFT JOIN Items AS i
ON d.CheckDate BETWEEN i.StartDate AND i.EndDate
GROUP BY d.CheckDate
This may give you what you want
SELECT DATE,
SUM(ItemOpened) AS ItemsOpened,
COUNT(StartDate) AS ItemsOpenedCumulative
FROM
(
SELECT d.Date, i.startdate, i.enddate,
CASE WHEN i.StartDate = d.Date THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS ItemOpened
FROM Dates d
LEFT OUTER JOIN Items i ON d.Date BETWEEN i.StartDate AND i.EndDate
) AS x
GROUP BY DATE
ORDER BY DATE
This assumes that your date values are DATE data type. Or, the dates are DATETIME with no time values.
You may find this useful. The recusive part can be replaced with a table. To demonstrate it works I had to populate some sort of date table. As you can see, the actual sql is short and simple.
DECLARE #i table (itemid INT, startdate DATE, enddate DATE)
INSERT #i VALUES (1,'1/1/2011', '1/15/2011')
INSERT #i VALUES (2,'1/2/2011', '1/14/2011')
INSERT #i VALUES (3,'1/5/2011', '1/17/2011')
DECLARE #from DATE
DECLARE #to DATE
SET #from = '1/1/2011'
SET #to = '1/18/2011'
-- the recusive sql is strictly to make a datelist between #from and #to
;WITH cte(Date)
AS (
SELECT #from DATE
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(day, 1, DATE)
FROM cte ch
WHERE DATE < #to
)
SELECT cte.Date, sum(case when cte.Date=i.startdate then 1 else 0 end) ItemsOpened, count(i.itemid) ItemsOpenedCumulative
FROM cte
left join #i i on cte.Date between i.startdate and i.enddate
GROUP BY cte.Date
OPTION( MAXRECURSION 0)
If you are on SQL Server 2005+, you could use a recursive CTE to obtain running totals, with the additional help of the ranking function ROW_NUMBER(), like this:
WITH grouped AS (
SELECT
d.Date,
ItemsOpened = COUNT(i.ItemID),
rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY d.Date)
FROM Dates d
LEFT JOIN Items i ON d.Date BETWEEN i.StartDate AND i.EndDate
GROUP BY d.Date
WHERE d.Date BETWEEN #FilterStartDate AND #FilterEndDate
),
cumulative AS (
SELECT
Date,
ItemsOpened,
ItemsOpenedCumulative = ItemsOpened
FROM grouped
WHERE rn = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT
g.Date,
g.ItemsOpened,
ItemsOpenedCumulative = g.ItemsOpenedCumulative + c.ItemsOpened
FROM grouped g
INNER JOIN cumulative c ON g.Date = DATEADD(day, 1, c.Date)
)
SELECT *
FROM cumulative
