Find missing contact date details - sql

Question

I have the following table with Contacts details:
Table: tblContacts
CREATE TABLE tblContacts
(
Series INT,
ContacNumber INT,
CDate DATETIME
);
Sample data:
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,123456,'2019-01-01');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(3,3456,'2019-01-01');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,123560,'2019-01-02');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,123459,'2019-01-05');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(3,3446,'2019-01-02');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(3,3486,'2019-01-03');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(3,34861,'2019-01-05');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(3,34862,'2019-01-07');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,127456,'2019-01-21');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,129456,'2019-02-03');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(12,126456,'2019-02-06');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(94,941256,'2019-01-01');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(94,944356,'2019-01-03');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(94,941356,'2019-01-07');
INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES(94,943356,'2019-01-09');
I want to find those contacts who never called on those dates and 1 or 2 days before and after call.
Note: I may crease before and after calls to any level like 1,2,3,4 so on.
Expected Output: The following output for just 1 day before and after calls.
ContacNumber CDate
----------------------------------------
3486 2019-01-03
NULL 2019-01-04
34861 2019-01-05
NULL 2019-01-06
34862 2019-01-07
123560 2019-01-02
NULL 2019-01-03 - 2019-01-04
123459 2019-01-05
NULL 2019-01-06 - 2019-01-20
127456 2019-01-21
NULL 2019-01-22 - 2019-02-02
129456 2019-02-03
NULL 2019-02-04 - 2019-02-05
126456 2019-02-06
941256 2019-01-01
NULL 2019-01-02
944356 2019-01-03
NULL 2019-01-04 - 2019-01-06
941356 2019-01-07
NULL 2019-01-08
943356 2019-01-09
My try: Following query works only for 1 day before and after calls but not for other than 1.
Query:

SELECT Series,
ContacNumber,
CAST(CDate AS DATE) CDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Series ORDER BY CAST(CDate AS DATE)) rnk1,

Answer 1

You can generate numbers and then add in rows. Something like this:
select contactnumber, cdate, 1 as isvalid
from tblcontacts
union all
select c.contactnumber, dateadd(day, v.n, c.contacctdate), 0
from tblcontacts c cross join
(values (-1), (1)) v(n)
where not exists (select 1
from tblcontacts c2
where c2.contactnumber = c.contactnumber and
c2.date = dateadd(day, v.n, c.contacctdate)
);
Note: I added a new column to determine if the row is valid. It doesn't make sense to repeat NULL values in the first column, because you don't know what contact number the row applies to.

Answer 2

You could get the next date in a Series.
Which can be used to find the gaps between the dates.
Then glue those gaps to the result.
For Sql Server 2008 the data is first loaded into a temporary table.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#tmpContacts', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #tmpContacts;
CREATE TABLE #tmpContacts
(
Series INT NOT NULL,
Rn INT NOT NULL,
ContacNumber INT NOT NULL,
CDate DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Series, Rn)
);
INSERT INTO #tmpContacts (Series, ContacNumber, CDate, Rn)
SELECT Series, ContacNumber
, CAST(CDate AS DATE)
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Series ORDER BY CAST(CDate AS DATE)) Rn
FROM tblContacts
WHERE CDate >= CAST('2019-01-01' AS DATE)
AND CAST(CDate AS DATE) <= EOMONTH(EOMONTH(CAST('2019-01-01' AS DATE)))
GROUP BY Series, ContacNumber, CAST(CDate AS DATE);
WITH CTE_CONTACTS AS
(
SELECT Series, ContacNumber
, CDate
, CDate AS nextCDate
, CAST(0 AS BIT) AS IsGap
FROM #tmpContacts
UNION ALL
SELECT t1.Series, null
, DATEADD(day,1,t1.CDate)
, DATEADD(day,-1,t2.CDate)
, 1
FROM #tmpContacts t1
LEFT JOIN #tmpContacts t2
ON t2.Series = t1.Series
AND t2.Rn = t1.Rn + 1
AND t1.CDate < DATEADD(day,-1,t2.CDate)
)
SELECT c.Series, ContacNumber
, CONCAT(CONVERT(varchar,c.CDate,23),
CASE
WHEN c.IsGap=1
AND DATEDIFF(day,c.CDate,c.nextCDate) > 0
THEN ' - ' + CONVERT(varchar,c.nextCDate,23)
END) AS Cdates
FROM CTE_CONTACTS c
ORDER BY c.Series, c.CDate;

In Sql Server 2012+ the window function LEAD can be used instead.
WITH CTE_CONTACTS AS
(
SELECT Series, ContacNumber
, CAST(CDate AS DATE) AS CDate
, LEAD(CAST(CDate AS DATE)) OVER (PARTITION BY Series ORDER BY CAST(CDate AS DATE)) AS nextCDate
FROM tblContacts
WHERE CDate >= CAST('2019-01-01' AS DATE)
AND CAST(CDate AS DATE) <= EOMONTH(EOMONTH(CAST('2019-01-01' AS DATE)))
GROUP BY Series, ContacNumber, CAST(CDate AS DATE)
)
, CTE_CONTACTS2 AS
(
SELECT Series, ContacNumber
, CDate
, nextCDate
, CAST(0 AS BIT) AS IsGap
FROM CTE_CONTACTS
UNION ALL
SELECT Series, null
, DATEADD(day,1,CDate)
, DATEADD(day,-1,nextCDate)
, 1
FROM CTE_CONTACTS c
WHERE CDate < DATEADD(day,-1,nextCDate)
)
SELECT c.Series, ContacNumber
, CONCAT(CONVERT(varchar,c.CDate,23),
CASE
WHEN c.IsGap=1
AND DATEDIFF(day,c.CDate,c.nextCDate) > 0
THEN ' - ' + CONVERT(varchar,c.nextCDate,23)
END) AS Cdates
FROM CTE_CONTACTS2 c
ORDER BY c.Series, c.CDate;
