I've created a query that I'm hoping to use to fill a table with daily budgets at the end of every day. To do this, I just need some simple maths:
monthly budget / number of days left in the month.
Then, at the end of the month, I can SUM all of the rows to calculate an accurate budget.
The query is as follows:
SELECT *,
ROUND(SAFE_DIVIDE(budget, DATETIME_DIFF(CURRENT_DATE(), LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE()), DAY)),2) AS daily_budget
FROM `mm-demo-project.marketing_hub.budget_manager`
When executing the query, my results present as negative numbers, which according to the documentation for this function, is likely caused by the result overflowing the result type.
View the results of the query.
I've made a fools guess at rounding the calculation. Needless to say that it did not work at all.
How can I stop my query from returning negative number?
use below
SELECT *,
ROUND(SAFE_DIVIDE(budget, DATETIME_DIFF(LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE()), CURRENT_DATE(), DAY)),2) AS daily_budget
FROM `mm-demo-project.marketing_hub.budget_manager`
I have an hourly (timestamp) dataset of events from the past month.
I would like to check the performance of events that occurred between certain hours, group them together and average the results.
For example: AVG income of the hours 23:00-02:00 per user:
So if I have this data set below. I'd like to summarise the coloured rows and then average them (the result should be 218).
I tried NTILE but it couldn't divide the data properly, ignoring the irrelevant hours.
Is there a good way to create these custom buckets using SQL?
dataset
From description not exactly sure how you want to aggregate. If you provide an example dataset can update answer.
However you can easily achieve this with an AVG and IF statement.
AVG(IF(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM timestamp_field) BETWEEN 0 AND 4, value, NULL) as avg_value
Using the above you can then group by either day or month to get the aggregation level you want.
In my SQL course I'm trying to answer a problem in which i'm being asked to find X% of a Total then subtracting that result from the original total to produce another result. Then putting these results (the X% of the total and the total-X% of total) in two new columns.
Example: We need to know how much money we owe Tom and Ted. We have total up sales to $1,000,000.00. We owe Tom 75% of that total. The remainder goes to Ted.
I can't seem to find anything in my readings/videos about this nor a google search that isn't an answers that produces ratios or comparing to other records in the table. Also, not sure about how to get the results into their own columns. Thanks for any advice!
Example of what I got so far:
SELECT SUM(Sale_Amount) From Order_Table
Now I have to find the % of that SUM then subtract it from the SUM and push both results to two new columns, one for the percent of the SUM(Sale_Amount) and one for the remainder.
Given it's an SQL course (and it's not 100% clear what's being asked), I'm not going to give you the total answer, but I'll give you components but you'll need to understand them to put them together.
In SQL, you can
Get totals using SUM and GROUP BY
Do normal maths e.g., SELECT 10000 * 60/100 to get percentages of totals
'Save' results by a) having columns/fields to save them in, and b) UPDATE those fields with relevant data
Note if you're not saving data, and simply reporting them, you can just add those to a SELECT statement e.g., SELECT 100000 AS Total, 100000 * 0.75 AS Toms_Share, 100000 * 0.25 AS Teds_Share.
I have a table of data with the following:
User,Platform,Dt,Activity_Flag,Total_Purchases
1,iOS,05/05/2016,1,1
1,Android,05/05/2016,1,2
2,iOS,05/05/2016,1,0
2,Android,05/05/2016,1,2
3,iOS,05/05/2016,1,1
3,Android,06/05/2016,1,3
1,iOS,06/05/2016,1,2
4,Android,06/05/2016,1,2
1,Android,06/05/2016,1,0
3,iOS,07/05/2016,1,2
2,iOS,08/05/2016,1,0
I want to do a GROUPING SETS (Platform,Dt,(Platform,Dt),()) aggregation to be able to find for each combination of Platform and Dt the following:
Total Purchases
Total Unique Users
Average Purchases per User per Day
The first two are simple as these can be achieved via a sum(Total_Purchases) and count(distinct user) respectively.
The problem I have is with the last metric. The result set should look like this but I don't know how to get the last column to be calculated correctly:
Platform,Dt,Total_Purchases,Total_Unique_Users,Average_Purchases_Per_User_Per_Day
Android,05/05/2016,4,2,2.0
iOS,05/05/2016,2,3,0.7
Android,06/05/2016,5,3,1.7
iOS,06/05/2016,2,1,2.0
iOS,07/05/2016,2,1,2.0
iOS,08/05/2016,0,1,0.0
,05/05/2016,6,3,2.0
,06/05/2016,7,3,2.3
,07/05/2016,1,1,1.0
,08/05/2016,1,1,1.0
Android,,9,4,1.8
iOS,,6,3,1.2
,,15,4,1.6
For the first ten rows we see that getting the Average purchase per user per day is a simple division of the first two columns as the dimension in these rows represent a single date only. But when we look at the final 3 rows we see that the division is not the way to achieve the desired result. This is because it needs to take an average for each day in turn to get the overall per day amount.
If this isn't clear please let me know and I'll be happy to explain better. This is my first post on this site!
Suppose ,I have a table which has all the billing records. Now I want to see the sales trend for a user given time duration group by each 3 days ...what should be the sql query regarding this?
please help,Otherwise I am gone ...
I can only give a vague suggestion as per the question, however you may want to have a derived column with a standardised date (as per MS date format, just a number per day) that you could then use a modulus (3) on so that days are equal per 3 day period. You can then group and aggregate over this column to get the values for a 3 day period. Obviously to display the date nicely you would have to multiply back and convert your column as well.
Again I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think this general idea could be achieved to get a result (may well not be the best way so it would help to add more to the question...)
