Table A has ID and date and name. Each time the record is changed the first 11 digits of the Id remain the same but the final digit would increase by 1. For example
123456789110 01-01-2020 John smith
119876543210 01-01-2020 Peter Griffin
119876543211 05-01-2020 Peter Griffin
How could I write a statement that shows The iD associated with John smith as well as the most recent Id of Peter Griffin? Thanks
Yet another option is using WITH TIES
Select top 1 with ties *
From YourTable
Order by row_number() over (partition by left(id,11) order by date desc)
Why not just use max()?
select name, max(id)
from t
group by name;

I'm trying to get the SUM(Values) for each Acct, but my issue is trying to get at least one entire row for a DISTINCT Acct with the SUM(Values).
I have some sample data for example:
Acct Values Name Street
123456789 100.20 John 66 Main Street
123456789 200.80 John 22 Main Avenue
222222222 50.25 Jane 1 Blvd
333333333 25.00 Joe 55 Test Ave
333333333 50.00 Joe 8 Douglas Road
555555555 75.00 Tim 12 Clark Ave
666666666 500.00 Tim 12 Clark Street
666666666 500.00 Tim 3 Main Rd.
My query consisted of:
SELECT DISTINCT Acct, SUM(Value) AS [TOTAL]
FROM TABLE_NAME
GROUP BY Acct
The above query gets me close to what I need, but I need the entire row.
Example below of what I am looking for:
Acct Total Name Addr1
123456789 301.00 John 66 Main Street
222222222 50.25 Jane 1 Blvd
333333333 75.00 Joe 55 Test Ave
555555555 75.00 Tim 12 Clark Ave
666666666 1000.00 Tim 12 Clark Street
Thanks.
If it does not matter what address you return, then you can apply and aggregate to the other columns:
SELECT Acct,
SUM(Value) AS [TOTAL],
max(name) name,
max(Street) addr1
FROM TABLE_NAME
GROUP BY Acct;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
You can do this using window functions such as row_number() in most databases:
select acct, total, name, addr1
from (select t.*, row_number() over (partition by acct order by acct) as seqnum,
sum(value) over (partition by acct) as Total
from table_name
) t
where seqnum = 1;
I would use Windowing Functions (the OVER clause) to solve this.
SELECT DISTINCT
Acct
,SUM([Values]) OVER (PARTITION BY Acct) AS 'Total'
,Name
,FIRST_VALUE(Street) OVER (PARTITION BY Acct ORDER BY Street DESC) AS 'Addr1'
FROM TABLE_NAME
;
The nice thing about Windowing Functions is that you do not add things to a grouping that you do not need in your functions (e.g. SUM), instead you can focus on describing what you are looking for.
In the SQL above, we are saying we want the SUM of Values grouped by (or PARTITION BY as it is called in the OVER clause) Acct. The FIRST_VALUE allows use to return the first value of the street address. The same did not have a DATETIME column so it is hard to say what the order should be for the first value. There is also a LAST_VALUE windowing function. Assuming you do have a DATETIME column you would want to ORDER BY that column value, if not you can just pick some value like I did with Street (MAX might also be a good option then too, but having some type of DATETIME value would be the best way to do it).
Check out this SQL Fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!6/a474c/8

I have a table which fills up with lots of transactions monthly, like below.
Name ID Date OtherColumn
_________________________________________________
John Smith 11111 2012-11-29 Somevalue
John Smith 11111 2012-11-30 Somevalue
Adam Gray 22222 2012-12-11 Somevalue
Tim Blue 33333 2012-12-15 Somevalue
John NewName 11111 2013-01-01 Somevalue
Adam Gray 22222 2013-01-02 Somevalue
From this table i want to create a dimension table with the unique names and id's. The problem is that a person can change his/her name, like "John" in the example above. The Id's are otherwise always unique. In those cases I want to only use the newest name (the one with the latest date).
So that I end up with a table like this:
Name ID
______________________
John NewName 11111
Adam Gray 22222
Tim Blue 33333
How do I go about achieving this?
Can I do it in a single query?
Use a CTE for this. It simplifies ranking and window functions.
;WITH CTE as
(SELECT
RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY [Date] DESC),
ID,
Name
FROM
YourTable)
SELECT
Name,
ID
FROM
CTE
WHERE
RN = 1
I think creating a table is a bad idea, but this is how you get the most recent name.
select name
from yourtable yt join
(select id, max(date) maxdate
from yourtable
group by id ) temp on temp.id = yt.id and yt.date = maxdate
JNK's CTE solution is an equivalent of the following.
SELECT
Name,
ID
FROM (
SELECT
RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY [Date] DESC),
Name,
ID
FROM theTable
)
WHERE RN = 1
Trying to think a way to get rid of the partition function without introducing the possible duplicates.
If I have the table "members" (shown below), how would I go about getting the record of the first occurrence of a membership_id (Oracle).
Expected results
123 John Doe A P
313 Michael Casey A A
113 Luke Skywalker A P
Table - members
membership_id first_name last_name status type
123 John Doe A P
313 Michael Casey A A
113 Luke Skywalker A P
123 Bob Dole A A
313 Lucas Smith A A
SELECT membership_id,
first_name,
last_name,
status,
type
FROM( SELECT membership_id,
first_name,
last_name,
status,
type,
rank() over (partition by membership_id
order by type desc) rnk
FROM members )
WHERE rnk = 1
will work for your sample data set. If you can have ties-- that is, multiple rows with the same membership_id and the same maximum type-- this query will return all those rows. If you only want to return one of the rows where there is a tie, you would either need to add additional criteria to the order by to ensure that all ties are broken or you would need to use the row_number function rather than rank which will arbitrarily break ties.
Select A.*
FROM Members AS A inner join
(Select membership_id, first(first_name) AS FN, first(last_name) AS LN
From Members
Group by membership_id) AS B
ON A.membership_id=B.membership_id and A.first_name=B.FN and A.last_name=B.LN
Hope that helps!
select *
from members
where rowid in (
select min(rowid)
from members
group by membership_id
)
How can retrieve that data:
Name Title Profit
Peter CEO 2
Robert A.D 3
Michael Vice 5
Peter CEO 4
Robert Admin 5
Robert CEO 13
Adrin Promotion 8
Michael Vice 21
Peter CEO 3
Robert Admin 15
to get this:
Peter........4
Robert.......15
Michael......21
Adrin........8
I want to get the highest profit value from each name.
If there are multiple equal names always take the highest value.
select name,max(profit) from table group by name
Since this type of request almost always follows with "now can I include the title?" - here is a query that gets the highest profit for each name but can include all the other columns without grouping or applying arbitrary aggregates to those other columns:
;WITH x AS
(
SELECT Name, Title, Profit, rn = ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY Name ORDER BY Profit DESC)
FROM dbo.table
)
SELECT Name, Title, Profit
FROM x
WHERE rn = 1;
I have a query that creates a result set like this:
Rank Name
1 Fred
1 John
2 Mary
2 Fred
2 Betty
3 John
4 Betty
4 Frank
I need to then select the lowest rank for each name, e.g.:
Rank Name
1 Fred
1 John
2 Mary
2 Betty
4 Frank
Can this be done within TSQL?
SELECT MIN(Rank) AS Rank, Name
FROM TableName
GROUP BY Name
yes
select name, min(rank)
from nameTable
group by name
As Paul + Kevin have pointed out, simple cases of returning a value from an aggregate can be extracted using MIN / MAX etc (just note that RANK is a reserved word)
In a more general / complicated case, e.g. where you need to find the second / Nth highest rank, you can use PARTITIONs with ROW_NUMBER() to do ranking and then filter by the rank.
SELECT [Rank], [Name]
FROM
(
SELECT [RANK], [Name],
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Name] ORDER BY [Rank]) as [RowRank]
FROM [MyTable]
) AS [MyTableReRanked]
WHERE [RowRank] = #N
ORDER BY [Rank];
