SQL - Grouping by Last Day of Quarter - sql

I currently have a query running to average survey scores for agents. We use the date range of the LastDayOfTheQuarter and 180 days back to calculate these scores. I ran into an issue for this current quarter.
One of my agents hasn't received any surveys in 2020 which is causing the query to not pull the current lastdayofquarter and 180 days back of results.
The code I am using:
SELECT
Agent,
U.Position,
U.BranchDescription,
(ADDDATE(LastDayOfQuarter, -180)) AS MinDate,
(LastDayOfQuarter) AS MaxDate,
COUNT(DISTINCT Response ID) as SurveyCount,
AVG(CASE WHEN Question ID = Q1_2 THEN Answer Value END) AS EngagedScore,
AVG(CASE WHEN Question ID = Q1_3 THEN Answer Value END) AS KnowledgableScore,
AVG(CASE WHEN Question ID = Q1_6 THEN Answer Value END) AS ValuedScore
FROM qualtrics_responses
LEFT JOIN date D
ON (D.`Date`) = (DATE(`End Date`))
LEFT JOIN `users` U
ON U.`UserID` = `Agent ID`
WHERE `Agent` IS NOT NULL
AND DATE(`End Date`) <= (`LastDayOfQuarter`)
AND DATE(`End Date`) >= (ADDDATE(`LastDayOfQuarter`, -180))
GROUP BY `Agent`, (ADDDATE(`LastDayOfQuarter`, -180))
i know the issue is due to the way I am joining the dates and since he doesn't have a result in this current year, the end date to date join isn't grabbing the desired date range. I can't seem to come up with any alternatives. Any help is appreciated.

I make the assumption that table date in your query is a calendar table, that stores the starts and ends of the quarters (most likely with one row per date in the quarter).
If so, you can solve this problem by rearranging the joins: first cross join the users and the calendar table to generate all possible combinations, then bring in the surveys table with a left join:
SELECT
U.UserID,
U.Position,
U.BranchDescription,
D.LastDayOfQuarter - interval 180 day AS MinDate,
D.LastDayOfQuarter AS MaxDate,
COUNT(DISTINCT Q.ResponseID) as SurveyCount,
AVG(CASE WHEN Q.QuestionID = 'Q1_2' THEN Q.Answer Value END) AS EngagedScore,
AVG(CASE WHEN Q.QuestionID = 'Q1_3' THEN Q.Answer Value END) AS KnowledgableScore,
AVG(CASE WHEN Q.QuestionID = 'Q1_6' THEN Q.Answer Value END) AS ValuedScore
FROM date D
CROSS JOIN users U
LEFT JOIN qualtrics_responses Q
ON Q.EndDate >= D.Date
AND Q.EndDate < D.Date + interval 1 day
AND U.UserID = Q.AgentID
AND Q.Agent IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
U.UserID,
U.Position,
U.BranchDescription,
D.LastDayOfQuarter
Notes:
I adapted the date arithmetics - this assumes that you are using MySQL, as the syntax of the query suggests
You should really qualify all the columns in the query, by prefixing them with the alias of the table they belong to; this makes the query so much easier to understand. I gave a tried at it, you might need to review that.
All non-aggregated columns should appear in the group by clause (also see the comment from Eric); this is a a requirement in most databaseses, and good practice anywhere

Calculate rolling year totals in sql

I am gathering something that is essentially am "enrollment date" for users. The "enrollment date" is not stored in the database (for a reason too long to explain here), so I have to deduce it from the data. I then want to reuse this CTE in numerous places throughout another query to gather values such as "total orders 1 year before enrollment" and "total orders 1 year after enrollment".
I haven't gotten this code to run, as it's much more complex in my actual data set (this code is paraphrased from the actual code) and I have a feeling it's not the best way to do this. As you can see, my date conditionals are mostly just placeholders, but I think it should be obvious what I am trying to do.
That said, I think this would mostly work. My question is, is there a better way to do this? Additionally, could I combine the rolling year before and rolling year after into one table somehow? (maybe window functions)? This is part of a much bigger query, so the more consolidation I could do, the better it would seem.
For what it's worth, the subquery to derive the "enrollment date" is also more complex than shown here.
With enroll as (Select
user_id,
MIN(date) as e_date
FROM `orders` o
WHERE (subscribed = True)
group by user_id
)
Select*
from users
left join (select
user_id,
SUM(total_paid)
from orders where date > (select enroll.e_date where user_id = user_id) AND date < (select enroll.e_date where user_id = user_id + 365 days)
and order_type = 'special'
group by user_id
) as rolling_year_after on rolling_year_after.user_id = users.user_id
left join (select
user_id,
SUM(total_paid)
from orders where date < (select enroll.e_date where user_id = user_id) and date > (select enroll.e_date where user_id = user_id - 365 days)
and order_type = 'special'
group by user_id
) as rolling_year_before on rolling_year_before.user_id = users.user_id
Maybe something like this, not sure if its more performant, but looks a bit cleaner:
With enroll as (Select
user_id,
MIN(date) as e_date
FROM `orders` o
WHERE (subscribed = True)
group by user_id
)
, rolling_year as (
select
user_id,
SUM(CASE WHEN date between enroll.edate and enroll.edate + 365 days then (total_paid) else 0 end) as rolling_year_after,
SUM(CASE WHEN date between enroll.edate - 365 days and enroll.edate then (total_paid) else 0 end) as rolling_year_before
from orders
left join enroll
on order.user_id = enroll.user_id
where order_type = 'special'
group by user_id
)
Select *
from users
left join rolling_year
on users.user_id = rolling_year.user_id

How to solve a nested aggregate function in SQL?

I'm trying to use a nested aggregate function. I know that SQL does not support it, but I really need to do something like the below query. Basically, I want to count the number of users for each day. But I want to only count the users that haven't completed an order within a 15 days window (relative to a specific day) and that have completed any order within a 30 days window (relative to a specific day). I already know that it is not possible to solve this problem using a regular subquery (it does not allow to change subquery values for each date). The "id" and the "state" attributes are related to the orders. Also, I'm using Fivetran with Snowflake.
SELECT
db.created_at::date as Date,
count(case when
(count(case when (db.state = 'finished')
and (db.created_at::date between dateadd(day,-15,Date) and dateadd(day,-1,Date)) then db.id end)
= 0) and
(count(case when (db.state = 'finished')
and (db.created_at::date between dateadd(day,-30,Date) and dateadd(day,-16,Date)) then db.id end)
> 0) then db.user end)
FROM
data_base as db
WHERE
db.created_at::date between '2020-01-01' and dateadd(day,-1,current_date)
GROUP BY Date
In other words, I want to transform the below query in a way that the "current_date" changes for each date.
WITH completed_15_days_before AS (
select
db.user as User,
count(case when db.state = 'finished' then db.id end) as Completed
from
data_base as db
where
db.created_at::date between dateadd(day,-15,current_date) and dateadd(day,-1,current_date)
group by User
),
completed_16_days_before AS (
select
db.user as User,
count(case when db.state = 'finished' then db.id end) as Completed
from
data_base as db
where
db.created_at::date between dateadd(day,-30,current_date) and dateadd(day,-16,current_date)
group by User
)
SELECT
date(db.created_at) as Date,
count(distinct case when comp_15.completadas = 0 and comp_16.completadas > 0 then comp_15.user end) as "Total Users Churn",
count(distinct case when comp_15.completadas > 0 then comp_15.user end) as "Total Users Active",
week(Date) as Week
FROM
data_base as db
left join completadas_15_days_before as comp_15 on comp_15.user = db.user
left join completadas_16_days_before as comp_16 on comp_16.user = db.user
WHERE
db.created_at::date between '2020-01-01' and dateadd(day,-1,current_date)
GROUP BY Date
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this puzzle? Thank you very much!
The following should give you roughly what you want - difficult to test without sample data but should be a good enough starting point for you to then amend it to give you exactly what you want.
I've commented to the code to hopefully explain what each section is doing.
-- set parameter for the first date you want to generate the resultset for
set start_date = TO_DATE('2020-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD');
-- calculate the number of days between the start_date and the current date
set num_days = (Select datediff(day, $start_date , current_date()+1));
--generate a list of all the dates from the start date to the current date
-- i.e. every date that needs to appear in the resultset
WITH date_list as (
select
dateadd(
day,
'-' || row_number() over (order by null),
dateadd(day, '+1', current_date())
) as date_item
from table (generator(rowcount => ($num_days)))
)
--Create a list of all the orders that are in scope
-- i.e. 30 days before the start_date up to the current date
-- amend WHERE clause to in/exclude records as appropriate
,order_list as (
SELECT created_at, rt_id
from data_base
where created_at between dateadd(day,-30,$start_date) and current_date()
and state = 'finished'
)
SELECT dl.date_item
,COUNT (DISTINCT ol30.RT_ID) AS USER_COUNT
,COUNT (ol30.RT_ID) as ORDER_COUNT
FROM date_list dl
-- get all orders between -30 and -16 days of each date in date_list
left outer join order_list ol30 on ol30.created_at between dateadd(day,-30,dl.date_item) and dateadd(day,-16,dl.date_item)
-- exclude records that have the same RT_ID as in the ol30 dataset but have a date between 0 amd -15 of the date in date_list
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT ol15.RT_ID
FROM order_list ol15
WHERE ol30.RT_ID = ol15.RT_ID
AND ol15.created_at between dateadd(day,-15,dl.date_item) and dl.date_item)
GROUP BY dl.date_item
ORDER BY dl.date_item;

Access SQL statement: if no entries are valid, return the last one

I am trying to get a SQL statement which solves the following issue.
I have a table "calendar" which includes only one column "date". This table has 12 entries for each month in 2019 (01.31.2019, 02.28.2019 and so on). The second table "values" (which I get from an ERP system) has three columns, "from", "to" and "amount" (e.g. 01.01.2019, 06.30.2019, 50 and 08.01.2019, 08.31.2019, 100).
I have this simple statement which checks which entry is valid on the specific date:
SELECT Calendar.Date, Values.From, Values.To, Values.Amount
FROM Calendar, [Values]
WHERE Calendar.Date >= Values.From
AND Calendar.Date <= Values.To;
There is no valid entry (in the table "values") for July, September, October, November and December.
In the case there is no valid entry the last entry should be used. In July it would be 50 and for September, October ... it would be 100.
I tried subquery and left joins, but I never got the wanted result.
Has anybody an idea or better a solution for this issue. I appreciate any support
I think that you are looking for an additional join on the Values table, that will return the last entry before the current date. When the first (LEFT) JOIN does not succeed, you can use the result returned by the second one.
To locate the last entry before the current date, we can use a NOT EXISTS condition with a correlated subquery.
SELECT
c.Date,
Nz(v.From, v1.From) AS [From],
Nz(v.To, v1.To) AS [To],
Nz(v.Amount, v1.Amount) AS [Amount]
FROM Calendar AS c
LEFT JOIN [Values] AS v
ON c.Date >= v.From AND c.Date <= v.To
LEFT JOIN [Values] AS v1
ON v1.To < c.Date
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM [Values] v2 WHERE v2.To < c.Date AND v2.To > v1.To
)
PS : it's been a good practice for a long time in SQL to avoid old-school, implicit JOINs, and always use explicit JOINs.
You can do it with a LEFT JOIN and a subquery to get the last amount:
SELECT c.Date, v.From, v.To,
Nz(
v.Amount,
(SELECT MAX([Values].Amount) FROM [Values] WHERE [Values].From =
(SELECT MAX([Values].From) FROM [Values] WHERE [Values].From <= c.Date))
) AS Amount
FROM Calendar AS c LEFT JOIN [Values] AS v
ON c.Date>=v.From AND c.Date<=v.To;

Creating average for specific timeframe

I'm setting up a time series with each row = 1 hr.
The input data has sometimes multiple values per hour. This can vary.
Right now the specific code looks like this:
select
patientunitstayid
, generate_series(ceil(min(nursingchartoffset)/60.0),
ceil(max(nursingchartoffset)/60.0)) as hr
, avg(case when nibp_systolic >= 1 and nibp_systolic <= 250 then
nibp_systolic else null end) as nibp_systolic_avg
from nc
group by patientunitstayid
order by patientunitstayid asc;
and generates this data:
It takes the average of the entire time series for each patient instead of taking it for each hour. How can I fix this?
I'm expecting something like this:
select nc.patientunitstayid, gs.hr,
avg(case when nc.nibp_systolic >= 1 and nc.nibp_systolic <= 250
then nibp_systolic
end) as nibp_systolic_avg
from (select nc.*,
min(nursingchartoffset) over (partition by patientunitstayid) as min_nursingchartoffset,
max(nursingchartoffset) over (partition by patientunitstayid) as max_nursingchartoffset
from nc
) nc cross join lateral
generate_series(ceil(min_nursingchartoffset/60.0),
ceil(max_nursingchartoffset/60.0)
) as gs(hr)
group by nc.patientunitstayid, hr
order by nc.patientunitstayid asc, hr asc;
That is, you need to be aggregating by hr. I put this into the from clause, to highlight that this generates rows. If you are using an older version of Postgres, then you might not have lateral joins. If so, just use a subquery in the from clause.
EDIT:
You can also try:
from (select nc.*,
generate_series(ceil(min(nursingchartoffset) over (partition by patientunitstayid) / 60.0),
ceil(max(nursingchartoffset) over (partition by patientunitstayid)/ 60.0)
) hr
from nc
) nc
And adjust the references to hr in the outer query.

Teradata spool space issue on running a sub query with Count

I am using below query to calculate business days between two dates for all the order numbers. Business days are already available in the teradata table Common_WorkingCalendar. But, i'm also facing spool space issue while i execute the query. I have ample space available in my data lab. Need to optimize the query. Appreciate any inputs.
SELECT
tx."OrderNumber",
(SELECT COUNT(1) FROM Common_WorkingCalendar
WHERE CalDate between Cast(tx."TimeStamp" as date) and Cast(mf.ShipDate as date)) as BusDays
from StoreFulfillment ff
inner join StoreTransmission tx
on tx.OrderNumber = ff.OrderNumber
inner join StoreMerchandiseFulfillment mf
on mf.OrderNumber = ff.OrderNumber
This is a very inefficient way to get this count which results in a product join.
The recommended approach is adding a sequential number to your calendar which increases only on business days (calculated using SUM(CASE WHEN businessDay THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) OVER (ORDER BY CalDate ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)), then it's two joins, for the start date and the end date.
If this calculation is needed a lot you better add a new column, otherwise you can do it on the fly:
WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CalDate,
-- as this table only contains business days you can use this instead
row_number(*) Over (ORDER BY CalDate) AS DayNo
FROM Common_WorkingCalendar
)
SELECT
tx."OrderNumber",
to_dt.DayNo - from_dt.DayNo AS BusDays
FROM StoreFulfillment ff
INNER JOIN StoreTransmission tx
ON tx.OrderNumber = ff.OrderNumber
INNER JOIN StoreMerchandiseFulfillment mf
ON mf.OrderNumber = ff.OrderNumber
JOIN cte AS from_dt
ON from_dt.CalDate = Cast(tx."TimeStamp" AS DATE)
JOIN cte AS to_dt
ON to_dt.CalDate = Cast(mf.ShipDate AS DATE)
