I am looking for a way to add up averages in SQL. Here is an example of the data I have:
product avg_price
phone 104.28
car 1000.00
And I'm looking to build something like this:
product avg_price
[all] 544.27
phone 104.28
car 1000.00
The way I'm currently doing it is to store the count and sum in two different columns, such as:
product cnt total
phone 203 20,304.32
car 404 304,323.30
And from that get the average. However, I was wondering if it is possible in SQL to just 'keep the fraction' and be able to add them as needed. For example:
product avg_price
[all] [add the fractions]
phone 20,304.32 / 203
car 304,323.30 / 404
Or do I need to use two columns in order to get an average of multiple aggregated rows?
You don't need 2 columns to get the average, but if you want to display as a fraction then you will need both numbers. They don't need to be in 2 columns though.
select product, sum(total) ||'/'||sum(count)
from table a
join table b on a.product=b.product
union
select product, total ||'/'||count
from table a
join table b on a.product=b.product;

I have two tables Medication and Inventory. I'm trying to SELECT all the below details from both tables but there are multiple listings of medication ids with different BRANCH_NO also in the INVENTORY table (the primary key in INVENTORY is actually BRANCH_NO, MEDICATION_ID composite key)
I need to total up the various medication_IDs and also join the tables in one SELECT command and display all the infomation for each med (there are 5) with a total sum of each med at the end of each row. But im getting all muddled trying Group by and Sum and at one point partition. Help please I'm new to this.
Below is the latest non working version - but it doesn't display
Medication Name
Medication Desc
Manufacturer
Pack Size
like i chanced it might.
SELECT I.MEDICATION_ID,
SUM(I.STOCK_LEVEL)
FROM INVENTORY I
INNER JOIN (SELECT MEDICATION_NAME, SUBSTR(MEDICATION_DESC,1,20) "Medication Description",
MANUFACTURER, PACK_SIZE FROM MEDICATION) M ON MEDICATION_ID=I.MEDICATION_ID
GROUP BY I.MEDICATION_ID;
For the data imagine I want this sort of output:
MEDICATION_ID MEDICATION_NAME STOCK_LEVEL OtherColumns.....
1 Alpha 10
2 Bravo 20
3 Charlie 20
1 Alpha 30
4 Delta 10
5 Echo 20
5 Echo 40
2 Bravo 10
grouping and totalling into this:
MEDICATION_ID MEDICATION_NAME STOCK_LEVEL OtherColumns.....
1 Alpha 40
2 Bravo 30
3 Charlie 20
4 Delta 10
5 Echo 60
I can get this when its just one table but when Im trying to join tables and also SELECT things its just not working.
Thanks in advance guys. I appreciate it may be a simple solution, but it will be a big help.
You need to write explicitly all non-aggregated columns into both SELECT and GROUP BY lists ( Btw, no need to use a nested query, and if it's the case MEDICATION_ID column is missing in it ) :
SELECT I.MEDICATION_ID, M.MEDICATION_NAME, SUM(I.STOCK_LEVEL) AS STOCK_LEVEL,
SUBSTR(M.MEDICATION_DESC,1,20) "Medication Description", M.MANUFACTURER, M.PACK_SIZE
FROM INVENTORY I
JOIN MEDICATION M ON M.MEDICATION_ID = I.MEDICATION_ID
GROUP BY I.MEDICATION_ID, M.MEDICATION_NAME, SUBSTR(M.MEDICATION_DESC,1,20),
M.MANUFACTURER, M.PACK_SIZE;
This way, you'll be able to return all the listed columns.
I am stuck on something, which I have never used in my 10 years of SQL. I thought it would be useful if there was someway of doing this. Firstly I am running SQL Server Express (latest free version) on Windows. To talk to the database I am using SSMS.
There are three tables/queries.
1 table (A) has one data value I want to pull through.
2 tables (B)/(C) have multiple values.
Column common to all tables is CAMPAIGN NAME
Column common to (B)/(C) is PRODUCT NAME
This is an example of the data:
OUTPUT GOAL
I have tried the following:
UNION ALL (but this does not assist when I want to calculate AMOUNT - MARKETING - TOTAL INVESTMENT
I tried PARTITION (but I simple could now get it to work.
If I use joins, it brings through a head count / total investment and marketing cost per product, which when using SUM brings through the incorrect values for head count / total investment and marketing cost vs total amount, quantity.
I tried splitting the costs based on Quantity / Total Quantity or Amount / Total Amount, but the cost associated with the product is not correct or directly relating to the product this way.
Am I trying to do something impossible, or is there a way to do this in SQL?
The following comes pretty close to what you want:
select . . . -- select the columns you want here
from a join
b
on b.campaign_name = a.campaign_name join
c
on c.campaign_name = b.campaign_name and
c.product_name = b.product_name;
This produces a result set with a separate row for each campaign/product.
I have a need to create a stock report, where I have article number in one stock table and Invoice number under which they were sold in another table.
Stock Table:
Select * from StockTable
result:
artno opening_Stock stock_received
30271472 1 50
Invoice Table:
Select * from InvoiceTable
result:
itemno invoicenumber QTYSold invoicedate
30271472 Inv_123 10 2018-10-06T00:00:00
30271472 Inv_234 20 2018-10-06T00:00:00
30271472 Inv_345 10 2018-10-06T00:00:00
30271472 Inv_567 10 2018-10-06T00:00:00
The Problem is that in Stock Table StockReceived is 50. Now this 50 Quantity can be sold to difference customers in multiple invoices.
My Objective is to show data in most presentation way and then query for that: a) Some option I can think of is to show all invoice numbers in comma saperated, Using XML Path or COALESCE..
b) Second option is to join two table and for each invoice number generate a new row, but in this case Opening_Stoc and Stock Received value will also repeat for each row.
c) Third is to generate dynamic columns for each invoice. Not even sure how to achive this..
Really confused, can somebody help me suggested the best possible way to present this to business and query to achive the same

I want the equivalent SUM and Group By as in t-SQL. But I haven't found the answer on the web.
My MDX return has some records that have the same name. I want to show the distinct name with the measure summed up just like Group by feature in SQL.
It seems like it's a common feature. Thanks.
When you define a measure in AS you can set it several different ways including count and sum.
Let's assume you have a product dimension and a fact of sales. A simple query to get the total sales by product would look like the following.
SELECT {[Measures].[ItemCount], [Measures].[SalesDollars]} ON 0,
[Products].[Products].children ON 1
FROM [CUBE]
This would give you sample output like
Product Item Count Sales Dollars
Bike 10 1000
Tire 3 650
I have 4 tables with diagram below
I want to summary query for the Institution table. where I want to get result of only,
InstitutionType ProductName Quantity
For example. sample data of institution table
Id Name Address InstitionTypeId
1 aaa ny132 1001
2 bbb dx23 1001
3 ccc bn33 1002
And the InstitionProduct is like that
Id ProductId Quantity InstitionId
1 1000 120 1
2 1000 100 2
3 1000 50 3
Then I want a query result to output total quantity of a given product by Instition Type wise. The sample output will look like this.
InstitutionTypeId productId quantity
1001 1000 220
1002 1000 50
So I want to group the institution by type and aggregate the product quantity of all institution type group.
I tried to use the group by clause, but with the product quantity not as a grouping element it results in error.
SELECT
Institution.InstitutionTypeID,
InstitutionProduct.ProductID,
SUM(InstitutionProduct.Quantity)
FROM
Institution
LEFT JOIN
InstitutionProduct
ON InstitutionProduct.InstitutionID = Institution.ID
GROUP BY
Institution.InstitutionTypeID,
InstitutionProduct.ProductID
If you are querying with group by you need to use either aggregate functions or group by all included fields. The reason is, that the 'group by' returns exactly one row per 'group by' value, so if you introduce an ungrouped field, this would conflict if the field has more than one value per grouping constraint. Even though this might not be the case for your dataset, the query engine cannot know this, and raises an error.
The solution is to introduce aggregates for all non-grouping field with aggregates being (among others): average (avg), summarize (sum), minimum (min) and maximum (max). This would lead to something like
SELECT i.InstitutionTypeID, i.Institution.ID, SUM(ip.Quantity)
FROM Institution I LEFT JOIN InstitutionProduct IP
ON IP.InstituationID = I.ID
GROUP BY i.InstitutionTypeID, i.Institution.ID
