I'm querying imported data that has a date/time field that I can't format as date in the table.
Sample:
Ticket Name Date
INC000101 User1 9/5/2016 10:00:34AM
INC000102 User2 9/5/2016 12:02:00PM
INC000103 User1 9/7/2016 3:34:00PM
INC000104 User2 10/1/2016 9:30:23AM
INC000105 User1 10/5/2016 10:20:00AM
INC000106 USer2 10/6/2016 4:56:00PM
I'm trying to get a count of how many tickets each user has per month. Because the Date field comes from the database as a text field, I can't seem to make that format as date/time so I use "left" to filter by month. This is what I've used to get a return on a single User item for the month of October.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM 2016YTD
WHERE [Name]='User1' AND left(Date,3) = '10/';
I would like to add counts for User2 through UserX per month so that I can get a count row or column for each the quantity of tickets for each user each month in one report. Everything I've tried won't save the query due to syntax errors in one form or another. I've tried variations of the following query help post as well without success.
SELECT a.distributor_id,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable WHERE level='personal' and distributor_id = a.distributor_id) as PersonalCount,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable WHERE level='exec' and distributor_id = a.distributor_id) as ExecCount,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable WHERE distributor_id = a.distributor_id) as TotalCount
FROM myTable a ;
I'm sure the answer is staring at me, just not sure what at the moment.
Thanks for reading

This is only an answer to your first question about how to deal with dates that are stored in text fields.
To get the count for all users for every month you can do:
SELECT [Name], Format([Date],'mmmm') AS Month, COUNT(*) as Count
FROM 2016YTD
GROUP BY [Name], Format([Date],'mmmm')
A text field containing a date that is always in the same format can be treated as a date with Format() so Format([Date],'mmmm') returns the full month name for each date.
you should just need conditional aggregation. I haven't looked at access in a while but probably just something like this:
SELECT
a.distributor_id
,Format([Date],'mmmm') as Month
,SUM(IIF(level='personal',1,0)) as PersonalCount
,SUM(IIF(level='exec',1,0)) as ExecCount
,COUNT(*) as TotalCount
FROM
myTable a
GROUP BY
a.distributor_id
,Format([Date],'mmmm')

I have a sqlite3 database maintained on an AWS exchange that is regularly updated by a Python script. One of the things it tracks is when any team generates a new post for a given topic. The entries look something like this:
id
client
team
date
industry
city
895
acme industries
blueteam
2022-06-30
construction
springfield
I'm trying to create a table that shows me how many entries for construction occur each day. Right now, the entries with data populate, but they exclude dates with no entries. For example, if I search for just
SELECT date, count(id) as num_records
from mytable
WHERE industry = "construction"
group by date
order by date asc
I'll get results that looks like this:
date
num_records
2022-04-01
3
2022-04-04
1
How can I make sqlite output like this:
date
num_records
2022-04-02
3
2022-04-02
0
2022-04-03
0
2022-04-04
1
I'm trying to generate some graphs from this data and need to be able to include all dates for the target timeframe.
EDIT/UPDATE:
The table does not already include every date; it only includes dates relevant to an entry. If no team posts work on a day, the date column will jump from day 1 (e.g. 2022-04-01) to day 3 (2022-04-03).
Given that your "mytable" table contains all dates you need as an assumption, you can first select all of your dates, then apply a LEFT JOIN to your own query, and map all resulting NULL values for the "num_records" field to "0" using the COALESCE function.
WITH cte AS (
SELECT date,
COUNT(id) AS num_records
FROM mytable
WHERE industry = "construction"
GROUP BY date
ORDER BY date
)
SELECT dates.date,
COALESCE(cte.num_records, 0) AS num_records
FROM (SELECT date FROM mytable) dates
LEFT JOIN cte
ON dates.date = cte.date
i want to get the last date of each user through an user list.
For example:
I have a column of users and other column with the date (in format '20190626').
I need to get only the last date of each user.
In the following code show all users and each date more times.
EDDDIC is a name of user column
EDUUS6 is a date column
EDUARC is a table of users
SELECT EDUDI1, EDUUS6
FROM VTABDAT.EDUARC WHERE EDUUS6 IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY EDUUS6 DESC
Thanks!!
I think you just want aggregation:
SELECT EDUDI1, MAX(EDUUS6)
FROM VTABDAT.EDUARC
GROUP BY EDUDI1
ORDER BY MAX(EDUUS6) DESC;
Filtering out the NULL values is not necessary because MAX() ignores them.
I am trying to calculate the percentage change between two dates in Access.
The user inputs the start date, an end date and the desired percentage change. If the result matches the criteria it should return the name.
Please note this is the dd/mm/yy format.
This is the table I have:
Name | Payment | DateTime
John | 53.00 | 06/01/18
Mike | 23.16 | 12/07/18
Steve | 31.28 | 21/03/18
John | 58.30 | 22/04/18
For example, if the user inputs a start date of 01/01/18, an end date of 23/04/18, and a desired percentage change of 10 percent then it should return the name John.
Currently, this is the query I have:
SELECT Name
FROM UserPayments
WHERE DateTime >= '01/01/18' AND DateTime <= '23/04/18';
I would like to calculate the total percentage change for two entries. This should be the record date immediately after the first date and the date immediately before the second date.
I'm completely stuck on how to do this in Access (SQL).
I think I need to use a join, but I have not done these before.
There should be a Users table with a primary key of something like UserID, and that UserID should be used in the UserPayments table instead of the Name of the user.
Although it would by nice to use functions like First and Last, MS Access will not allow to use ORDER BY for sorting the details in a group defined by GROUP BY. Therefore, you will have to use subqueries to retrieve the two values for the percentage calculation. If you have a Users table like mentionned above and the DateTime value can be assumed to be unique per User, this could look like this:
SELECT Users.Name,
(SELECT TOP 1 Payment FROM UserPayments
WHERE UserID = Users.UserID AND DateTime Between #01/01/2018# And #04/23/2018#
ORDER BY DateTime DESC)
/
(SELECT TOP 1 Payment FROM UserPayments
WHERE UserID = Users.UserID AND DateTime Between #01/01/2018# And #04/23/2018#
ORDER BY DateTime ASC)
-1 AS PercentChange
FROM Users;
Be aware of rounding errors and format the result as a percentage.
I'm trying to answer questions like, how many POs per month do we have? Or, how many lines are there in every PO by month, etc. The original PO dates are all formatted #1/1/2013#. So my first step was to Format each PO record date into 'mmyy' so I could group and COUNT them.
This worked well but, now I cannot view the data by date... For example, I cannot ask 'How many POs after December did we get?' I think this is because SQL does not recognize mm/yy as a comparable date.
Any ideas how I could restructure this?
There are 2 queries I wrote. This is the query to format the dates. This is also the query I was trying to add the date filter to (ex: >#3/14#)
SELECT qryALL_PO.POLN, Format([PO CREATE DATE],"mm/yy") AS [Date]
FROM qryALL_PO
GROUP BY qryALL_PO.POLN, Format([PO CREATE DATE],"mm/yy");
My group and counting query is:
SELECT qryALL_PO.POLN, Sum(qryALL_PO.[LINE QUANTITY]) AS SUM_QTY_PO
FROM qryALL_PO
GROUP BY qryALL_PO.POLN;
You can still count and group dates, as long as you have a way to determine the part of the date you are looking for.
In Access you can use year and month for example to get the year and month part of the date:
select year(mydate)
, month(mydate)
, count(*)
from tableX
group
by year(mydate)
, month(mydate)
You can format it 'YYYY-MM' , and then use '>' for 'after' clause
So I have a table with a date column. I want to be able to group these dates by Item field of some type. For example I might have a column called Item and within the Item field there may be 500 entries. Item 12345 might have 5 entires, each with a price. I want to be able to pull out all of the Items, grouped by the newest date.
031126-2M1 8/10/2011 12:00:00 AM 7.8678
031126-2M1 7/22/2011 12:00:00 AM 9.5620
031126-2M1 7/15/2011 12:00:00 AM 8.8090
In this example, I want to show the item with the closest date, 7/15/2011 so I can use that Price of 8.8090. The list would then show the other items, some may have one entry, others might have many, but I want to show all of them with the closets date. Need Help!
Thanks
A MS SQL Server version...
WITH
sorted_data AS
(
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY item_id ORDER BY item_date DESC) AS row_id,
*
FROM
item_data
WHERE
item_date <= getDate()
)
SELECT * FROM sorted_data WHERE row_id = 1
selct * from table
where This = that
Group by something having This.
order by date desc.
having "THIS" should be in the query itself.
hope this helps..
Cheers
