I have been looking around for 2 days and have not been able to figure out this one. Using dataset below and SQL server 2016 I would like to get the row number of each row by 'id' and 'cat' ordered by 'date' in asc order but would like to see a reset of the sequence if a different value in the 'cat' column for the same 'id' is found(see rows in green). Any help would be appreciated.
This is a gaps and islands problem. The simplest solution in this case is probably a difference of row numbers:
select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by id, cat, seqnum - seqnum_c order by date) as row_num
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by id order by date) as seqnum,
row_number() over (partition by id, cat order by date) as seqnum_c
from t
) t;
Why this works is a bit tricky to explain. But, if you look at the sequence numbers in the subquery, you'll see that the difference defines the groups you want to define.
Note: This assumes that the date column provides a stable sort. You seem to have duplicates in the column. If there really are duplicates and you have no secondary column for sorting, then try rank() or dense_rank() instead of row_number().

I have data like below with two columns, I need an output with new column shown below
Input -
Name,Date,Value
Test1,20200901,55
Test1,20200901,100
Test1,20200901,150
Test1,20200805,25
Test1,20200805,30
Row number is based on data from column - Name and Date
Output,
Name,Date,Value, row_number
Test1,20200901,55,1
Test1,20200901,100,1
Test1,20200901,150,1
Test1,20200805,25,2
Test1,20200805,30,2
The query using Partition didn't help
select *, row_number() over (partition by Date) as Rank from Table
Can someone please help here
Thank you very much
You want dense_rank():
select *,
dense_rank() over (order by Date) as Rank
from Table;
There is something suspicious when you are using partition by without order by (even if the underlying database supports that).
Use dense_rank() - and an order by clause:
select t.*, dense_rank() over (order by Date) as rn from mytable t
This gives you a sequential number that starts at 1 on the earliest date value increments without gaps everytime date changes.
In SQL Server, I am attempting to pull the second latest NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME (items highlighted in screenshot). With the query written below it still pulls the latest date (I believe it's because of the grouping but the grouping is required to join later). What is the best method to achieve this?
SELECT
hop.ACCOUNT_ID,
MAX(hop.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME) AS latest_noteid
FROM
NOTES hop
WHERE
hop.GEN_YN IS NULL
AND hop.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME < (SELECT MAX(hope.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME)
FROM NOTES hope
WHERE hop.GEN_YN IS NULL)
GROUP BY
hop.ACCOUNT_ID
Data sample in the table:
One of the "easier" ways to get the Nth row in a group is to use a CTE and ROW_NUMBER:
WITH CTE AS(
SELECT Account_ID,
Note_Entry_Dt_Time,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY AccountID ORDER BY Note_Entry_Dt_Time DESC) AS RN
FROM dbo.YourTable)
SELECT Account_ID,
Note_Entry_Dt_Time
FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 2;
Of course, if an ACCOUNT_ID only has 1 row, then it will not be returned in the result set.
The OP's statement "The row will not always be 2." from the comments conflicts with their statement "I am attempting to pull the second latest NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME" in the question. At a best guess, this means that the OP has rows with the same date, that could be the "latest" date. If so, then would simply need to replace ROW_NUMBER with DENSE_RANK. Their sampple data, however, doesn't suggest this is the case.
You can use window functions:
select *
from (
select
n.*,
row_number() over(partition by account_id order by note_entry_dt_time desc) rn
from notes n
) t
where rn = 2
I have a table with a datetime field ("time") and an int field ("index")
Please see the query and the picture below. I want ROW_NUMBER to count from 1 when the index changes, also if the index value exists in previous rows. The red text indicates the output that I want to get from the query. How can I modify the query to give me the expected results?
The query:
select rv.[time], rv.[index], ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY rv.[index] ORDER BY rv.[time], rv.[index] ASC) AS Row#
from
tbl
This is a gaps-and-islands problem. You need to identify groups of adjacent rows. In this case, I think the simplest method is the difference of row numbers:
select rv.*,
row_number() over (partition by index, (seqnum - seqnum_2) order by time) as row_num
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (order by time) as seqnum,
row_number() over (partition by index order by time) as seqnum_2
from tbl t
) rv;
Why this works is a little tricky to explain. If you look at the results of the subquery, you will see how the difference between the two row number values identifies adjacent values that are the same.
Also, you should not use names like time and index for columns, because these a keywords in SQL. I have not escaped the names in the above query. I encourage you to give your columns and tables names that do not need to be escaped.
I have a dataset with three columns and I need to group by but keeping the "arrays" with small groups ordered by data:
Expected output:
This is a gaps-and-islands problem, most easily solved with the difference of row numbers:
select type, count(*), min(date_status), max(date_status)
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (order by date_status) as seqnum,
row_number() over (partition by type order by date_status) as seqnum_t
from t
) t
group by type, (seqnum - seqnum_t)
order by min(date_status);
Why this works is a little tricky to explain. I find that if someone looks at the results of the subquery, that person will usually see how the difference of the two row number columns identifies groups of adjacent types.
I want to use the ROW_NUMBER() to get...
To get the max(ROW_NUMBER()) --> Or i guess this would also be the count of all rows
I tried doing:
SELECT max(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId)) FROM Users
but it didn't seem to work...
To get ROW_NUMBER() using a given piece of information, ie. if I have a name and I want to know what row the name came from.
I assume it would be something similar to what I tried for #1
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
but this didn't work either...
Any Ideas?
For the first question, why not just use?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable
to get the count.
And for the second question, the primary key of the row is what should be used to identify a particular row. Don't try and use the row number for that.
If you returned Row_Number() in your main query,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber, Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM User
Then when you want to go 5 rows back then you can take the current row number and use the following query to determine the row with currentrow -5
SELECT us.Id
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Row, Id
FROM User ) us
WHERE Row = CurrentRow - 5
Though I agree with others that you could use count() to get the total number of rows, here is how you can use the row_count():
To get the total no of rows:
with temp as (
select row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select max(rownum) from temp
To get the row numbers where name is Matt:
with temp as (
select name, row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select rownum from temp where name like 'Matt'
You can further use min(rownum) or max(rownum) to get the first or last row for Matt respectively.
These were very simple implementations of row_number(). You can use it for more complex grouping. Check out my response on Advanced grouping without using a sub query
If you need to return the table's total row count, you can use an alternative way to the SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Because SELECT COUNT(*) makes a full table scan to return the row count, it can take very long time for a large table. You can use the sysindexes system table instead in this case. There is a ROWS column that contains the total row count for each table in your database. You can use the following select statement:
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
This will drastically reduce the time your query takes.
You can use this for get first record where has clause
SELECT TOP(1) * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS rownum
FROM Users
WHERE UserName = 'Joe'
ORDER BY rownum ASC
ROW_NUMBER() returns a unique number for each row starting with 1. You can easily use this by simply writing:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY 'Column_Name' DESC) as ROW_NUMBER
May not be related to the question here. But I found it could be useful when using ROW_NUMBER -
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 100)) AS Any_ID
FROM #Any_Table
select
Ml.Hid,
ml.blockid,
row_number() over (partition by ml.blockid order by Ml.Hid desc) as rownumber,
H.HNAME
from MIT_LeadBechmarkHamletwise ML
join [MT.HAMLE] h on ML.Hid=h.HID
SELECT num, UserName FROM
(SELECT UserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS num
From Users) AS numbered
WHERE UserName='Joe'
You can use Row_Number for limit query result.
Example:
SELECT * FROM (
select row_number() OVER (order by createtime desc) AS ROWINDEX,*
from TABLENAME ) TB
WHERE TB.ROWINDEX between 0 and 10
--
With above query, I will get PAGE 1 of results from TABLENAME.
If you absolutely want to use ROW_NUMBER for this (instead of count(*)) you can always use:
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id)
FROM USERS
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) DESC
Need to create virtual table by using WITH table AS, which is mention in given Query.
By using this virtual table, you can perform CRUD operation w.r.t row_number.
QUERY:
WITH table AS
-
(SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) rn, * FROM Users)
-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserName='Joe'
-
You can use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in last sentence by in spite of SELECT.
SQL Row_Number() function is to sort and assign an order number to data rows in related record set. So it is used to number rows, for example to identify the top 10 rows which have the highest order amount or identify the order of each customer which is the highest amount, etc.
If you want to sort the dataset and number each row by seperating them into categories we use Row_Number() with Partition By clause. For example, sorting orders of each customer within itself where the dataset contains all orders, etc.
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
SubTotal,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId ORDER BY SubTotal DESC) rn
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
But as I understand you want to calculate the number of rows of grouped by a column. To visualize the requirement, if you want to see the count of all orders of the related customer as a seperate column besides order info, you can use COUNT() aggregation function with Partition By clause
For example,
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) CustomerOrderCount
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
This query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
will return all rows where the UserName is 'Joe' UNLESS you have no UserName='Joe'
They will be listed in order of UserID and the row_number field will start with 1 and increment however many rows contain UserName='Joe'
If it does not work for you then your WHERE command has an issue OR there is no UserID in the table. Check spelling for both fields UserID and UserName.
