I have a dataset that includes a bunch of stay data (at a hotel). Each row contains a start date and an end date, but no duration field. I need to get a sum of the durations.
Sample Data:
| Stay ID | Client ID | Start Date | End Date |
| 1 | 38 | 01/01/2018 | 01/31/2019 |
| 2 | 16 | 01/03/2019 | 01/07/2019 |
| 3 | 27 | 01/10/2019 | 01/12/2019 |
| 4 | 27 | 05/15/2019 | NULL |
| 5 | 38 | 05/17/2019 | NULL |
There are some added complications:
I am using Crystal Reports and this is a SQL Expression, which obeys slightly different rules. Basically, it returns a single scalar value. Here is some more info: http://www.cogniza.com/wordpress/2005/11/07/crystal-reports-using-sql-expression-fields/
Sometimes, the end date field is blank (they haven't booked out yet). If blank, I would like to replace it with the current timestamp.
I only want to count nights that have occurred in the past year. If the start date of a given stay is more than a year ago, I need to adjust it.
I need to get a sum by Client ID
I'm not actually any good at SQL so all I have is guesswork.
The proper syntax for a Crystal Reports SQL Expression is something like this:
(
SELECT (CASE
WHEN StayDateStart < DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) THEN DATEDIFF(day,DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
ELSE DATEDIFF(day,StayDateStart,ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
END)
)
And that's giving me the correct value for a single row, if I wanted to do this:
| Stay ID | Client ID | Start Date | End Date | Duration |
| 1 | 38 | 01/01/2018 | 01/31/2019 | 210 | // only days since June 4 2018 are counted
| 2 | 16 | 01/03/2019 | 01/07/2019 | 4 |
| 3 | 27 | 01/10/2019 | 01/12/2019 | 2 |
| 4 | 27 | 05/15/2019 | NULL | 21 |
| 5 | 38 | 05/17/2019 | NULL | 19 |
But I want to get the SUM of Duration per client, so I want this:
| Stay ID | Client ID | Start Date | End Date | Duration |
| 1 | 38 | 01/01/2018 | 01/31/2019 | 229 | // 210+19
| 2 | 16 | 01/03/2019 | 01/07/2019 | 4 |
| 3 | 27 | 01/10/2019 | 01/12/2019 | 23 | // 2+21
| 4 | 27 | 05/15/2019 | NULL | 23 |
| 5 | 38 | 05/17/2019 | NULL | 229 |
I've tried to just wrap a SUM() around my CASE but that doesn't work:
(
SELECT SUM(CASE
WHEN StayDateStart < DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) THEN DATEDIFF(day,DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
ELSE DATEDIFF(day,StayDateStart,ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
END)
)
It gives me an error that the StayDateEnd is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause. But I don't even know what that means, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot, or where to go from here. And then the next step is to get the SUM by Client ID.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Although the explanation and data set are almost impossible to match, I think this is an approximation to what you want.
declare #your_data table (StayId int, ClientId int, StartDate date, EndDate date)
insert into #your_data values
(1,38,'2018-01-01','2019-01-31'),
(2,16,'2019-01-03','2019-01-07'),
(3,27,'2019-01-10','2019-01-12'),
(4,27,'2019-05-15',NULL),
(5,38,'2019-05-17',NULL)
;with data as (
select *,
datediff(day,
case
when datediff(day,StartDate,getdate())>365 then dateadd(year,-1,getdate())
else StartDate
end,
isnull(EndDate,getdate())
) days
from #your_data
)
select *,
sum(days) over (partition by ClientId)
from data

You need a subquery for sum based on group by client_id and a join between you table the subquery eg:
select Stay_id, client_id, Start_date, End_date, t.sum_duration
from your_table
inner join (
select Client_id,
SUM(CASE
WHEN StayDateStart < DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) THEN DATEDIFF(day,DATEADD(year,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
ELSE DATEDIFF(day,StayDateStart,ISNULL(StayDateEnd,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
END) sum_duration
from your_table
group by Client_id
) t on t.Client_id = your_table.client_id
For a Table T1
+----------+-----------+-----------------+
| PersonID | Date | Employment |
+----------+-----------+-----------------+
| 1 | 2/28/2017 | Stayed the same |
| 1 | 4/21/2017 | Stayed the same |
| 1 | 5/18/2017 | Stayed the same |
| 2 | 3/7/2017 | Improved |
| 2 | 4/1/2017 | Stayed the same |
| 2 | 6/1/2017 | Stayed the same |
| 3 | 3/28/2016 | Improved |
| 3 | 5/4/2016 | Improved |
| 3 | 4/19/2017 | Worsened |
| 4 | 5/19/2016 | Worsened |
| 4 | 2/16/2017 | Improved |
+----------+-----------+-----------------+
I'm trying to calculate a Final Result field partitioning on Employment/PersonID fields, based on the latest result/person relative to prior results. What I mean by that is explained in the logic behind Final Result:
For every Person,
If all results/person are Stayed the same, then only should final
result for that person be "Stayed the same"
If Worsened/Improved
are in the result set for a person, the final result should be the
latest Worsened/Improved result for that person, irrespective of "Stayed the same" after a W/I result.
Eg:
Person 1 Final result -> Stayed the same, as per (1)
Person 2 Final result -> Improved, as per (2)
Person 3 Final result -> Worsened, as per (2)
Person 4 Final result -> Improved, as per (2)
Desired Result:
+----------+-----------------+
| PersonID | Final Result |
+----------+-----------------+
| 1 | Stayed the same |
| 2 | Improved |
| 3 | Worsened |
| 4 | Improved |
+----------+-----------------+
I know this might involve Window functions or Sub-queries but I'm struggling to code this.
Hmmm. This is a prioritization query. That sounds like row_number() is called for:
select t1.personid, t1.employment
from (select t1.*,
row_number() over (partition by personid
order by (case when employment <> 'Stayed the same' then 1 else 2 end),
date desc
) as seqnum
from t1
) t1
where seqnum = 1;
This should be a simple one, but say I have a table with data like this:
| ID | Date | Value |
| 1 | 01/01/2013 | 40 |
| 2 | 03/01/2013 | 20 |
| 3 | 10/01/2013 | 30 |
| 4 | 14/02/2013 | 60 |
| 5 | 15/03/2013 | 10 |
| 6 | 27/03/2013 | 70 |
| 7 | 01/04/2013 | 60 |
| 8 | 01/06/2013 | 20 |
What I want is the sum of values per week of the year, showing ALL weeks.. (for use in an excel graph)
What my query gives me, is only the weeks that are actually in the database.
With SQL you cannot return rows that don't exist in some table. To get the effect you want you could create a table called WeeksInYear with only one field WeekNumber that is an Int. Populate the table with all the week numbers. Then JOIN that table to this one.
The query would then look something like the following:
SELECT w.WeekNumber, SUM(m.Value)
FROM MyTable as m
RIGHT OUTER JOIN WeeksInYear AS w
ON DATEPART(wk, m.date) = w.WeekNumber
GROUP BY w.WeekNumber
The missing weeks will not have any data in MyTable and show a 0.
I have two MS Access tables sharing a one to many relationship. Their structures are like the following:
tbl_Persons
+----------+------------+-----------+
| PersonID | PersonName | OtherData |
+----------+------------+-----------+
| 1 | PersonA | etc. |
| 2 | PersonB | |
| 3 | PersonC | |
tbl_Visits
+----------+------------+------------+-----------------------
| VisitID | PersonID | VisitDate | dozens of other fields
+----------+------------+------------+-----------
| 1 | 1 | 09/01/13 |
| 2 | 1 | 09/02/13 |
| 3 | 2 | 09/03/13 |
| 4 | 2 | 09/04/13 | etc...
I wish to create a new table based on the VisitDate field, the column headings of which are Visit-n where n is 1 to the number of visits, Visit-n-Data1, Visit-n-Data2, Visit-n-Data3 etc.
MergedTable
+----------+----------+---------------+-----------------+----------+----------------+
| PersonID | Visit1 | Visit1Data1 | Visit1Data2... | Visit2 | Visit2Data1... |
+----------+----------+---------------+-----------
| 1 | 09/01/13 | | | 09/02/13 |
| 2 | 09/03/13 | | | 09/04/13 |
| 3 | etc. | |
I am really not sure how to do this. Whether SQL query or using DAO then looping through records and columns. It is essential that there is only 1 PersonID per row and all his data appears chronologically into columns.
Start of by ranking the visits with something like
SELECT PersonID, VisitID,
(SELECT COUNT(VisitID) FROM tbl_Visits AS C
WHERE C.PersonID = tbl_Visits.PersonID
AND C.VisitDate < tbl_Visits.VisitDate) AS RankNumber
FROM tbl_Visits
Use this query as a base for the 'pivot'
Since you seem to have some visits of persons on the same day (visit 1 and 2) the WHERE clause needs to be a bit more sophisticated. But I hope you get the basic concept.
Pivoting can be done with multiple LEFT JOINs.
I question if my solution will have a high performance, since I did not test it. It is easier in SQL Server than in MS Access to accomplish.
I'm trying to display all rows from one table and also SUM/AVG the results in one column, which is the result of a where clause. That probably doesn't make much sense, so let me explain.
I need to display a report of all employees...
SELECT Employees.Name, Employees.Extension
FROM Employees;
--------------
| Name | Ext |
--------------
| Joe | 123 |
| Jane | 124 |
| John | 125 |
--------------
...and join some information from the PhoneCalls table...
--------------------------------------------------------------
| PhoneCalls Table |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Ext | StartTime | EndTime | Duration |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| 123 | 2010-09-05 10:54:22 | 2010-09-05 10:58:22 | 240 |
--------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT Employees.Name,
Employees.Extension,
Count(PhoneCalls.*) AS CallCount,
AVG(PhoneCalls.Duration) AS AverageCallTime,
SUM(PhoneCalls.Duration) AS TotalCallTime
FROM Employees
LEFT JOIN PhoneCalls ON Employees.Extension = PhoneCalls.Extension
GROUP BY Employees.Extension;
------------------------------------------------------------
| Name | Ext | CallCount | AverageCallTime | TotalCallTime |
------------------------------------------------------------
| Joe | 123 | 10 | 200 | 2000 |
| Jane | 124 | 20 | 250 | 5000 |
| John | 125 | 3 | 100 | 300 |
------------------------------------------------------------
Now I want to filter out some of the rows that are included in the SUM and AVG calculations...
WHERE PhoneCalls.StartTime BETWEEN "2010-09-12 09:30:00" AND NOW()
...which will ideally result in a table looking something like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
| Name | Ext | CallCount | AverageCallTime | TotalCallTime |
------------------------------------------------------------
| Joe | 123 | 5 | 200 | 1000 |
| Jane | 124 | 10 | 250 | 2500 |
| John | 125 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
------------------------------------------------------------
Note that John has not made any calls in this date range, so his total CallCount is zero, but he is still in the list of results. I can't seem to figure out how to keep records like John's in the list. When I add the WHERE clause, those records are filtered out.
How can I create a select statement that displays all of the Employees and only SUMs/AVGs the values returned from the WHERE clause?
Use:
SELECT e.Name,
e.Extension,
Count(pc.*) AS CallCount,
AVG(pc.Duration) AS AverageCallTime,
SUM(pc.Duration) AS TotalCallTime
FROM Employees e
LEFT JOIN PhoneCalls pc ON pc.extension = e.extension
AND pc.StartTime BETWEEN "2010-09-12 09:30:00" AND NOW()
GROUP BY e.Name, e.Extension
The issue is when using an OUTER JOIN, specifying criteria in the JOIN section is applied before the JOIN takes place--like a derived table or inline view. The WHERE clause is applied after the OUTER JOIN, which is why when you specified the WHERE clause on the table being LEFT OUTER JOIN'd to that the rows you still wanted to see are being filtered out.
