First time post here, and I've done a bunch of searches to find this but don't know the terminology to search for to begin with. I have a table in SQL Server 2012 containing timesheet data with these columns: Name, ID, ENTEREDONDTM, EVENTDATE, STARTDTM, ENDDTM, STARTREASON, ENDREASON
I'm trying to do a row_number where the value in row_number stays the same unless StartReason = 'newShift' in which case I would like for it to increase by 1.
My end goal is to find a total shift length per shift and I know how to do those calculations based on startdtm and enddtm, but there is no current column with a shiftID for me to group by.
You can use Rank () windowed function, partitioned by StartReason and add +1 (to reserve the first).
Before use this value, you can use a case to compare the value.
Exemple: case StartReason when 'newShift' then 1 else Rank () over (Partition by StartReason ) +1

How can I do a SUMIF function so that it adds up values when the value in another column is "False", but then when it hits a value that is "True", it restarts the count over again, but includes the value of the first "True" encounter in the SUM calculation? I would also like it so that it adds up the value in chronological order.
I did some research and I think I need to use an over partition and make a row number column to call all row number = "1", but I'm not sure how to do this.
Edit: the Sum should also include the "distance" value for the first "true" value it encounters
Edit 2: Ultimately, I am trying to calculate the average distance each vehicle travels before an Alert is triggered to "True" which means it needs to be taken to the shop to be fixed. Perhaps there is a better way to do this than what I was originally thinking?
Sorry for the poor phrasing...
You want to define groups. It sounds like you want the definition to be the number of "trues" up to and including a given row. Then, you can do a cumulative sum within each group. So:
select t.*,
sum(distance) over (partition by vehicleid, grp
order by date
rows between unbounded preceding and current row
)
from (select t.*,
sum(case when alert = 'True' then 1 else 0 end) over
(partition by vehicleid
order by date
rows between unbounded preceding and current row
) as grp
from t
) t;
Here is a db<>fiddle that illustrates that this code works.
You are right in thinking that you can use SUM analytical function. Something like this will do the cumulative sum for you.
For you to restart the SUM when the alert is True, you include the alert in the partition window and Order by date to achieve the order.
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN alert = 'FALSE'
THEN distance
ELSE 0
END)
OVER(PARTITION BY alert
ORDER BY date) cumm_sum
, date
, alert
FROM Table
I have a use case function that needs to returns a single row only for every end of month.
I tried using select distinct and it is showing multiple records for the same end of month
SELECT DISTINCT CASE
WHEN eff_interest_balance < 0.01 THEN trial_balance_date
WHEN date_paid < trial_balance_date THEN date_paid
END as A
, period
FROM dbo.Intpayments[enter image description here][1]
WHERE loan_number = 60023
ORDER BY period ASC
Each row should return single date for each month
Distinct is returning unique rows, not grouping them. You are looking to aggregate rows. This means using some combination of aggregate functions and group by.
What your current query is missing is some sort of logic for aggregating the rows that are in the same period. Do you want to compare the sum of these values? The min, the max?
In any case, the basic idea of aggregating and grouping would look like this - I don't think this summing is what you want, but the query shows the basic idea of aggregating and grouping:
SELECT
period
, SUM(eff_interest_balance) AS SumOfBalance
FROM dbo.Intpayments
WHERE loan_number = 60023
GROUP BY period
is there a way in SQL to find a previous value, not necessarily in the previous row, within the same SELECT statement?
See picture below. I'd like to add another column, ELAPSED, that calculates the time difference between TIMERSTART, but only when DEVICEID is the same, and I_TYPE is viewDisplayed. e.g. subtract 1 from 2, store difference in 3, store 0 in 4 because i_type is not viewDisplayed, subtract 2 from 5, store difference in 6, and so on.
It has to be a statement, I can't use a stored procedure in this case.
SELECT DEVICEID, I_TYPE, TIMERSTART,
O AS ELAPSED -- CASE WHEN <CONDITION> THEN TIMEDIFF() ELSE 0 END AS ELAPSED
FROM CLIENT_USAGE
ORDER BY TIMERSTART ASC
I'm using SAP HANA DB, but it works pretty much like the latest version of MS-SQL. So, if you know how to make it work in SQL, I can make it work in HANA.
You can make a subquery to find the last time entered previous to the row in question.
select deviceid, i_type, timerstart, (timerstart - timerlast) as elapsed.
from CLIENT_USAGE CU
join ( select top 1 timerstart as timerlast
from CLIENT_USAGE C
where (C.i_type = CU.i_type) and
(C.deviceid = CU.deviceid) and (C.timerstart < CU.timerstart)
order by C.timerstart desc
) as temp1
on temp1.i_type = CU.i_type
order by timerstart asc
This is a rough sketch of what the sql should look like I do not know what your primary key is on this table if it is i_type or i_type and deviceid. But this should help with how to atleast calculate the field. I do not think it would be necessary to store the value unless this table is very large or the hardware being used is very slow. It can be calculated rather easily each time this query is run.
SAP HANA supports window functions:
select DEVICEID,
TIMERSTART,
lag(TIMERSTART) over (partition by DEVICEID order by TIMERSTART) as previous_start
from CLIENT_USAGE
Then you can wrap this in parentheses and manipulate the data to your hearts' content
I work for a sports film analysis company. We have teams with unique team IDs and I would like to find the number of consecutive weeks they have uploaded film to our site moving backwards from today. Each upload also has its own row in a separate table that I can join on teamid and has a unique date of when it was uploaded. So far I put together a simple query that pulls each unique DATEDIFF(week) value and groups on teamid.
Select teamid, MAX(weekdiff)
(Select teamid, DATEDIFF(week, dateuploaded, GETDATE()) as weekdiff
from leroy_events
group by teamid, weekdiff)
What I am given is a list of teamIDs and unique weekly date differences. I would like to then find the max for each teamID without breaking an increment of 1. For example, if my data set is:
Team datediff
11453 0
11453 1
11453 2
11453 5
11453 7
11453 13
I would like the max value for team: 11453 to be 2.
Any ideas would be awesome.
I have simplified your example assuming that I already have a table with weekdiff column. That would be what you're doing with DATEDIFF to calculate it.
First, I'm using LAG() window function to assign previous value (in ordered set) of a weekdiff to the current row.
Then, using a WHERE condition I'm retrieving max(weekdiff) value that has a previous value which is current_value - 1 for consecutive weekdiffs.
Data:
create table leroy_events ( teamid int, weekdiff int);
insert into leroy_events values (11453,0),(11453,1),(11453,2),(11453,5),(11453,7),(11453,13);
Code:
WITH initial_data AS (
Select
teamid,
weekdiff,
lag(weekdiff,1) over (partition by teamid order by weekdiff) as lag_weekdiff
from
leroy_events
)
SELECT
teamid,
max(weekdiff) AS max_weekdiff_consecutive
FROM
initial_data
WHERE weekdiff = lag_weekdiff + 1 -- this insures retrieving max() without breaking your consecutive increment
GROUP BY 1
SQLFiddle with your sample data to see how this code works.
Result:
teamid max_weekdiff_consecutive
11453 2
You can use SQL window functions to probe relationships between rows of the table. In this case the lag() function can be used to look at the previous row relative to a given order and grouping. That way you can determine whether a given row is part of a group of consecutive rows.
You still need overall to aggregate or filter to reduce the number of rows for each group of interest (i.e. each team) to 1. It's convenient in this case to aggregate. Overall, it might look like this:
select
team,
case min(datediff)
when 0 then max(datediff)
else -1
end as max_weeks
from (
select
team,
datediff,
case
when (lag(datediff) over (partition by team order by datediff) != datediff - 1)
then 0
else 1
end as is_consec
from diffs
) cd
where is_consec = 1
group by team
The inline view just adds an is_consec column to the data, marking whether each row is part of a group of consecutive rows. The outer query filters on that column (you cannot filter directly on a window function), and chooses the maximum datediff from the remaining rows for each team.
There are a few subtleties there:
The case expression in the inline view is written as it is to exploit the fact that the lag() computed for the first row of each partition will be NULL, which does not evaluate unequal (nor equal) to any value. Thus the first row in each partition is always marked consecutive.
The case testing min(datediff) in the outer select clause picks up teams that have no record with datediff = 0, and assigns -1 to column max_weeks for them.
It would also have been possible to mark rows non-consecutive if the first in their group did not have datediff = 0, but then you would lose such teams from the results altogether.
I have a SQL statement that I am currently using to return a number of rows from a database:
SELECT
as1.AssetTagID, as1.TagID, as1.CategoryID,
as1.Description, as1.HomeLocationID, as1.ParentAssetTagID
FROM Assets AS as1
INNER JOIN AssetsReads AS ar ON as1.AssetTagID = ar.AssetTagID
WHERE
(ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint1' OR ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint2')
AND (ar.DateScanned between 'LastScan' AND 'Now')
AND as1.TagID!='000000000000000000000000'
I am wanting to do a query that will get the row with the oldest DateScanned from this query and also get another row from the database if there was one that was within a certain period of time from this row (say 5 seconds for an example). The oldest record would be relatively simple by selecting the first record in a descending sort, but how would I also get the second record if it was within a certain time period of the first?
I know I could do this process with multiple queries, but is there any way to combine this process into one query?
The database that I am using is SQL Server 2008 R2.
Also please note that the DateScanned times are just placeholders and I am taking care of that in the application that will be using this query.
Here is a fairly general way to approach it. Get the oldest scan date using min() as a window function, then use date arithmetic to get any rows you want:
select t.* -- or whatever fields you want
from (SELECT as1.AssetTagID, as1.TagID, as1.CategoryID,
as1.Description, as1.HomeLocationID, as1.ParentAssetTagID,
min(DateScanned) over () as minDateScanned, DateScanned
FROM Assets AS as1
INNER JOIN AssetsReads AS ar ON as1.AssetTagID = ar.AssetTagID
WHERE (ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint1' OR ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint2')
AND (ar.DateScanned between 'LastScan' AND 'Now')
AND as1.TagID!='000000000000000000000000'
) t
where datediff(second, minDateScanned, DateScanned) <= 5;
I am not really sure of sql server syntax, but you can do something like this
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
TOP 2
as1.AssetTagID,
as1.TagID,
as1.CategoryID,
as1.Description,
as1.HomeLocationID,
as1.ParentAssetTagID ,
ar.DateScanned,
LAG(ar.DateScanned) OVER (order by ar.DateScanned desc) AS lagging
FROM
Assets AS as1
INNER JOIN AssetsReads AS ar
ON as1.AssetTagID = ar.AssetTagID
WHERE (ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint1' OR ar.ReadPointLocationID='Readpoint2')
AND (ar.DateScanned between 'LastScan' AND 'Now')
AND as1.TagID!='000000000000000000000000'
ORDER BY
ar.DateScanned DESC
)
WHERE
lagging IS NULL or DateScanned - lagging < '5 SECONDS'
I have tried to sort the results by DateScanned desc and then just the top most 2 rows. I have then used the lag() function on DateScanned field, to get the DateScanned value for the previous row. For the topmost row the DateScanned shall be null as its the first record, but for the second one it shall be value of the first row. You can then compare both of these values to determine whether you wish to display the second row or not
