DATEDIFF in Group by causing error - sql

I am posting it a new question as previous question has changed a bit. I am using this query:
SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND,servicestart,CheckinTime) abondendedTime FROM Location L INNER JOIN
Interaction I
ON L.Id = I.IdLocation
WHERE ServiceEnd = '00:00:00.000'
GROUP BY L.Id, L.Description,DATEDIFF(SECOND,servicestart,CheckinTime)
and it is returning 700 rows where as I don't need this part
DATEDIFF(SECOND,servicestart,CheckinTime) in GROUP BY but If I don't put it in GROUP BY, I get error:
Column 'Interaction.ServiceStart' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
I want this result set
http://prntscr.com/f993xe
I need to do these calculations.
http://prntscr.com/f995dk
I have done this part
SELECT L.Id,
L.Description AS 'Location',
COUNT(L.Id) Interactions,
SUM(CASE WHEN I.ServiceEnd = '00:00:00.000' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) Abandoned,
(SUM(CASE WHEN I.ServiceEnd = '00:00:00.000' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) *100)/COUNT(I.Id) AbandonedPercent
FROM Location L
INNER JOIN Interaction I
ON L.Id = I.IdLocation
GROUP BY L.Id,L.Description
and need to calculate
Average Abandon Time,Members,Repeat Members,Repeat Visits,Repeat/Interaction,Average Wait,Average Service
Above first query is for Average Abandon Time

I think this is what you want:
SELECT L.Id, L.Description,
SUM(DATEDIFF(SECOND, servicestart, CheckinTime)) as abondendedTime
FROM Location L INNER JOIN
Interaction I
ON L.Id = I.IdLocation
WHERE ServiceEnd = '00:00:00.000'
GROUP BY L.Id, L.Description;
Unlike your previous question, the column in the WHERE is different from the column used for the DATEDIFF().

Query is returning to rows instead of just one

I have a a query to return the dimensions of a package in M2 (square metres) and UN (unity's). With the current query it is returning two different lines, because I am using a CASE WHEN. This is the query:
SELECT DISTINCT(C.Package) 'Package',
CASE S.Unity WHEN 'M2' THEN SUM(L.Qt*S.ConvEst) ELSE NULL END 'M2',
CASE S.Unity WHEN 'UN' THEN SUM(L.Qt) ELSE NULL END 'UN'
FROM
PackageTable AS C
INNER JOIN
PackageTableRows L ON L.Package = C.Package
INNER JOIN
Products S ON S.Product = L.Product
WHERE
C.Package = '587496'
GROUP BY
C.Package, S.Unity
This result:
But what I really want is the query to return is something like this:
With only one line. I know for that I am not using CASE WHEN correctly and that is why I need your help.
You have several problems here. Firstly, DISTINCT is not a function it's an operator. DISTINCT affects the entire dataset and causes only distinct rows to be returned. It's not DISTINCT ({Column Name}) it's SELECT DISTINCT {Columns}.
Next, you have both DISTINCT and GROUP BY; this is a flaw. A GROUP BY clause already causes your data to be returned in distinct groups, so a DISTINCT is both redundant and unneeded overhead. Get rid of the DISTINCT. If you are getting different results when you have a DISTINCT with a GROUP BY this is a strong indication that your GROUP BY clause is wrong and needs addressing (most likely you have too many columns in the clause).
Finally, when performing conditional aggregation the aggregate function should be around the entire CASE expression, not an expression in the THEN. Then also means that you then need to remove the column in your WHEN clause from the GROUP BY as I suspect the only reason you have it there is because you had to:
This results in:
SELECT C.Package AS Package,
SUM(CASE S.Unity WHEN 'M2' THEN L.Qt * S.ConvEst END) AS M2,
SUM(CASE S.Unity WHEN 'UN' THEN L.Qt END) AS UN
FROM dbo.PackageTable C
INNER JOIN dbo.PackageTableRows L ON L.Package = C.Package
INNER JOIN dbo.Products S ON S.Product = L.Product
WHERE C.Package = '587496'
GROUP BY C.Package;
It's mostly correct. You need to GROUP BY only on C.Package to bring it into a single line. For this it should return 0 for case else conditions and aggregation should be on the full case conditions rather than only on the measure.
So it will look like this.
SELECT C.Package 'Package',
SUM(CASE S.Unity WHEN 'M2' THEN (L.Qt*S.ConvEst) ELSE 0 END ) as 'M2',
SUM(CASE S.Unity WHEN 'UN' THEN SL.Qt ELSE 0 END) AS 'UN'
FROM PackageTable AS C
INNER JOIN PackageTableRows L ON L.Package=C.Package
INNER JOIN Products S ON S.Product=L.Product
WHERE C.Package='587496'
GROUP BY C.Package

SQL add a column with COUNT(*) to my query

I need to add a column with the content of this query :
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM account_subscriptiongroups WHERE account_subscriptiongroups.active = true AND account_subscriptiongroups.user_id = account_user.id
to this query :
SELECT
account_user.id as user_id, account_user.email, account_user.first_name, account_user.last_name, account_user.phone,
account_subscriptiongroup.id as sub_group_id,
account_adminaction.description,
account_adminaction.id as admin_action_id,
account_adminaction.created_on as subscription_ended_on
FROM
account_adminaction
LEFT JOIN
account_user ON account_user.id = account_adminaction.user_id
LEFT JOIN
account_subscriptiongroup ON account_adminaction.sub_group_id = account_subscriptiongroup.id
WHERE
account_adminaction.created_on >= '2021-04-07' AND account_adminaction.created_on <= '2021-04-13' AND
((account_adminaction.description LIKE 'Arrêt de l''abonnement%') OR (account_adminaction.description LIKE 'L''utilisateur a arrêté%'))
ORDER BY
subscription_ended_on
I tried adding a LEFT JOIN like that:
LEFT JOIN
account_subscriptiongroup all_sg ON account_user.id = account_subscriptiongroup.user_id
with this line in my WHERE statement :
AND all_sg.active = true
and this line in my SELECT :
COUNT(all_sg.id)
but I get an error :
ERROR: column "account_user.id" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 2: account_user.id as user_id, account_user.email, account_us...
^
I don't understand how I could perform this action properly
To count something, you need to specify a group where that count applies.
So every column that you select (and is not used in an aggregate function, like COUNT or SUM), you need to mention in the GROUP BY clause.
Or to put it the other way around: the non-aggregate columns must apply to all rows that are contained in that particular COUNT.
So between the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses, add a GROUP BY clause:
GROUP BY account_user.id, account_user.email, account_user.first_name, account_user.last_name, account_user.phone,
account_subscriptiongroup.id,
account_adminaction.description,
account_adminaction.id,
account_adminaction.created_on
If, on the other hand, you want a count from a different table, you can add a sub-select:
SELECT
account_user.id as user_id, account_user.email, account_user.first_name, account_user.last_name, account_user.phone,
account_subscriptiongroup.id as sub_group_id,
account_adminaction.description,
account_adminaction.id as admin_action_id,
account_adminaction.created_on as subscription_ended_on,
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM account_subscriptiongroups
WHERE account_subscriptiongroups.active = true
AND account_subscriptiongroups.user_id = account_user.id) AS groupcount
FROM
account_adminaction
LEFT JOIN
account_user ON account_user.id = account_adminaction.user_id
You can left join to to a derived table that does the grouping and counting:
SELECT au.id as user_id, au.email, au.first_name, au.last_name, au.phone,
asg.id as sub_group_id,
ad.description,
ad.id as admin_action_id,
ad.created_on as subscription_ended_on,
asgc.num_groups
FROM account_adminaction ad
LEFT JOIN account_user au ON au.id = ad.user_id
LEFT JOIN account_subscriptiongroups asg on ON ad.sub_group_id = asg.id
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT user_id, count(*) as num_groups
FROM account_subscriptiongroups ag
WHERE ag.active
GROUP by user_id
) asgc on asgc.user_id = au.id
WHERE ad.created_on >= '2021-04-07'
AND ad.created_on <= '2021-04-13'
AND ((ad.description LIKE 'Arrêt de l''abonnement%') OR (ad.description LIKE 'L''utilisateur a arrêté%'))
ORDER BY subscription_ended_on
It's not entirely clear to me, what you are trying to count, but another option (most probably slower) could be to use a window function combined with a filter clause:
count(*) filter (where asg.active) over (partition by asg.user_id) as num_groups
EDIT: my answer is the same as submitted by a_horse_with_no_name
Two answers, a literal one just solving the problem you posed, and then another one questioning whether what you asked for is really what you want.
Simple answer: modify your desired query to add user_id to the Select and remove user_id from the Where clause. Now you have a table that can be left-joined to the rest of your larger query.
...
Left Join (Select user_id, count(*) as total_count
From account_subscriptiongroup
Where account_subscriptiongroups.active = true
Group By user_id) Z
On Z.user_id=account_user.id
I question whether this count is what you really want here. This counts every account_subscriptiongroup entry for all time but only the active ones. Your larger query brings back inactive as well as active records, so if your goal is to create a denominator for a percentage, you are mixing 'apples and oranges' here.
If you decide you want a total by user of the records in your query instead, then you can add one more element to your larger query without adding any more tables. Use a windowing function like this:
Select ..., Sum(Case When account_subscriptiongroup.active Then 1 else 0 End) Over (Group By account_user.id) as total count
This just counts the records within the date range and having the desired actions.

Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric CASE statement

I am trying to write a query that returns an "Estimated Annual Value", and for this, I am using a Case statement. There are two inner joins involved in the query.
So, the query and gives me result when I am running this piece:
select Users.Id, Name, PhoneNumber, Email, Currency, count(*) as TotalOrders, sum(TotalCustomerAmount) as TotalOrderValue, avg(TotalCustomerAmount) as AverageOrderValue, TsCreate as RegistrationDate, max(TsOrderPlaced) as LastOrderDate, min(TsOrderPlaced) as FirstOrderDate,
CASE
When PromotionsEnabled = 0 then 'Y'
When PromotionsEnabled = 1 then 'n'
else 'undefined'
end as Promotions,
/*CASE
When ((DATEDIFF(day, max(TsOrderPlaced), min(TsOrderPlaced)) >= 6) AND (count(*) > 3)) then ((sum(TotalCustomerAmount)/(DATEDIFF(day, max(TsOrderPlaced), min(TsOrderPlaced))))*365)
Else '-'
end as EstimatedAnnualValue*/
from AspNetUsers with (nolock)
inner join Orders with (nolock) on Orders.UserId = AspNetUsers.Id and Orders.WhiteLabelConfigId = #WhiteLabelConfigId
and Orders.OrderState in (2,3,4,12)
inner join UserWhiteLabelConfigs with (nolock) on UserWhiteLabelConfigs.UserId = AspNetUsers.Id and Orders.WhiteLabelConfigId = #WhiteLabelConfigId
where AspNetUsers.Discriminator = 'ApplicationUser'
group by Users.Id, Name, Number, Currency, Email, TsCreate, PromotionsEnabled
But the problem comes when I am running this with the second CSAE statement, is it because I cannot use the aggregate function before GROUP BY? I am also thinking of using a Subquery
Looking fr some help!!
You need to use aggregation functions. For instance, if you want 'Y' only when all values are 0 or NULL:
(case when max(PromotionsEnabled) = 0 then 'Y'
when max(PromotionsEnabled) = 1 then 'N'
else 'undefined'
end) as Promotions,
I'm not sure if this is the logic you want (because that detail is not in the question). However, this shows that you can use aggregation functions in a case expression.

Look carefully. That giant derived table (a - nice meaningful name btw) has the same group by clause as the outermost query. So that means that [a] has a single row per ItemCode and datename(month, ad.applicationdate). Therefore, there is nothing to sum in your outer query since it is grouping by the same columns.
You also have the expression:
DateOfInspection = ''
which is highly suspicious based on the name of the column. What datatype is the DateOfInspection column? Doesn't sound like it should be string-based.
And lastly, the error message you posted sounds like it comes from SSRS and not sql server. Is that the case? Does your query run correctly from SSMS? Then the problem is in your report - and it would seem that you attempt to manipulate or interpret the Year column as a date (perhaps for sorting?). It also seems a bit short-sighted in your report design that your "Year" column is actually the name of a month and that your resultset does not include the year in some fashion. What happens when your data spans more than twelve months? And how do you intend to sort your report when you have month name but not month number?

SQL add Sum to existing query (Cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an aggregate or a subquery.)

I have a existing working SQL query I would like to now GroupBy but am getting the error: Cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an aggregate or a subquery.
Explanation of my scenario:
My main table (dbo.DataLog) contains 3 columns, TimestampUTC, MeterTagId, Data.
Data typically comes in at 15 minute intervals and I have many meters (MeterTagId) for each
TimestampUTC. The Data column is a float and this is a totalised value. i.e. to get the actual value for a meter period I need to subtract the last value from the current one. Before now I have successfully been querying individual meters but now I am trying to group by time and show a sum/total of all meters for that time.
Original working non summed query:
SELECT
l.TimestampUTC
-- Get this value minus the last value
,(SELECT (l.[Data] -
( SELECT TOP 1 l2.Data
FROM [DataLog] l2
WHERE l2.MeterTagId = l.MeterTagId
AND l2.TimestampUTC < l.TimestampUTC
ORDER BY l2.TimestampUTC DESC)
)
) AS Actual_Value
FROM [dbo].[DataLog] l
INNER JOIN [dbo].MeterTags t on t.MeterTagId = l.MeterTagId
INNER JOIN [dbo].Meters m on m.MeterId = t.MeterId
INNER JOIN [dbo].GroupsMeters gm on gm.MeterId = m.MeterId
INNER JOIN [dbo].Groups g on g.GroupId = gm.GroupId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units u on u.UnitId = t.UnitId
WHERE (#MeterId is null OR M.MeterId in (#MeterId))
AND (#MeterTagId is null OR t.MeterTagId in (#MeterTagId))
AND (#StartDate is null OR l.TimestampUTC >= #StartDate)
AND (#EndDate is null OR l.TimestampUTC <= #EndDate)
AND (#GroupId is null OR g.GroupId in (#GroupId))
.
My attempt to to get the summary:
SELECT
l.TimestampUTC
-- Get this value minus the last value
, (SELECT SUM(l.[Data] -
( SELECT TOP 1 l2.Data
FROM [DataLog] l2
WHERE l2.MeterTagId = l.MeterTagId
AND l2.TimestampUTC < l.TimestampUTC
ORDER BY l2.TimestampUTC DESC)
)
)AS Actual_Value
FROM [dbo].[DataLog] l
INNER JOIN [dbo].MeterTags t on t.MeterTagId = l.MeterTagId
INNER JOIN [dbo].Meters m on m.MeterId = t.MeterId
INNER JOIN [dbo].GroupsMeters gm on gm.MeterId = m.MeterId
INNER JOIN [dbo].Groups g on g.GroupId = gm.GroupId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units u on u.UnitId = t.UnitId
WHERE (#MeterId is null OR M.MeterId in (#MeterId))
AND (#MeterTagId is null OR t.MeterTagId in (#MeterTagId))
AND (#StartDate is null OR l.TimestampUTC >= #StartDate)
AND (#EndDate is null OR l.TimestampUTC <= #EndDate)
AND (#GroupId is null OR g.GroupId in (#GroupId))
AND t.Name ='Real Energy Net'
GROUP BY l.TimestampUTC
I have read other posts on here but can't get my head around the logic required, I imagine/hope this is something sql dev's come across regularly? Thanks!
OK, I worked it out, it's simple really. Hopefully this explanation helps someone else with the same issue in the future.
