I am trying to run a query that calculate with a countif function but I am having trouble with it. I have used the count and the iif functions in the builder but I think something weird is going on. I am trying to count the number of times a certain value occurs in a column so I do not want a specific value to equal to if that's possible?
Thanks!
To count the number of times a value appears you can use something like.
If you want to know how many times each value appears just omit the WHERE clause (without a sample of data I've used a table in the database I'm working on).
SELECT ProcessID,
COUNT(ProcessID)
FROM tbl_PrimaryData_Step1
WHERE ProcessID = 4
GROUP BY ProcessID
if you need just the value you can use:
SELECT COUNT(ProcessID)
FROM tbl_PrimaryData_Step1
WHERE ProcessID = 4
GROUP BY ProcessID
Another way is:
SELECT DCOUNT("ProcessID","tbl_PrimaryData_Step1","ProcessID = 4")
Edit:
In reply to your comment on your original post this SQL will give the result you're after:
SELECT Concatenate,
COUNT(Concatenate)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY Concatenate

i'm having trouble creating a query that'll group together responses from multiple rows that share a similar name and count the specific response record in them.
the datatable i currently have looks like this
test_control
values
test
selected
control
selected
test us
not selected
control us
selected
test mom
not selected
control mom
selected
what i'd like, is an output like the below that only counts the number of "selected" responses and groups together the rows that have either "control" or "test" in the name"
test_control
values
test
3
control
1
The query i have below is wrong as it doesn't give me an output of anything. The group by section is where im lost as i'm not sure how to do this. tried to google but couldn't seem to find anything. appreciate any help in advance!!!
SELECT distinct(test_control), values FROM `total_union`
where test_control="%test%" and values="selected"
group by test_control, values
use below
SELECT
REGEXP_EXTRACT(test_control, r'^(TEST|CONTROL) ') AS test_control,
COUNTIF(values = 'selected') AS values
FROM `total_union`
GROUP BY 1
As mentioned by #Mikhail Berlyant, you can use REGEX_EXTRACT to match the expression and COUNTIF to get the count of the total number of matching expressions according to the given condition. Try below code to get the expected output :
Code
SELECT
REGEXP_EXTRACT(test_control, r'^(test|control)') AS test_control,
COUNTIF(values = "selected") AS values
FROM `project.dataset.testvalues`
group by 1
Output

How can I SELECT rows with MAX(Column value), PARTITION by another column in MYSQL?
(22 answers)
Closed 11 months ago.
I am trying to get data from my database.
Query upon sub-query upon another sub-query - and as the intermediate result I get looks like this:
item
quantity
pen
34
pencil
42
notebook
42
eraser
12
I need to build another query upon this result set to get the rows where item_quantity has it's maximal value (42 in the example above). The rows with pencils and notebooks. However, I have found out that the task is a bit trickier than I expected it to be.
SELECT * FROM sub_query_result HAVING quantity = MAX(quantity)
always returns an empty result set
SELECT * FROM sub_query_result HAVING quantity = 42
is pointless since I need to know the exact max quantity in advance
SELECT * FROM sub_query_result WHERE quantity = MAX(quantity)
simply works not ("Invalid use of group function")
I can see solutions that work but that I do not like -- due to extra actions I need to take on my back-end code that executes this sql request, or due to their inefficiency:
I can create a temporary table, get max. quantity from it and place to a variable. Then I can use this variable inside the query to that temporary table and get the data I need.
I can do
SELECT * FROM query_result HAVING quantity = (SELECT MAX(quantity) FROM
<Query upon sub-query upon another sub-query that shall return query_result>)
but that way I request the very same data twice! which in general is not a good approach.
So... Anything I missed? Any simple and elegant solutions that can solve my problem?
Order by quantity descending to get the max values first. Only select the first row, i.e. the one having the max values. ANSI SQL version:
SELECT * FROM query_result
ORDER BY quantity DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW WITH TIES
WITH TIES means you can get several rows, if there are several rows having the same maximum quantity.
I have a matrix in ssrs2008 like below:
GroupName Zone CompletedVolume
Cancer 1 7
Tunnel 1 10
Surgery 1 64
ComplatedVolume value is coming by a specific expression <<expr>>, which is equal to: [Max(CVolume)]
This matrix is filled by a stored procedure that I am not supposed to change if possible. What I need to do is that not to show the data whose CompletedVolume is <= 50. I tried to go to tablix properties and add a filter like [Max(Q9Volume)] >= 50, but when I try to run the report it says that aggregate functions cannot be used in dataset filters or data region filters. How can I fix this as easy as possible?
Note that adding a where clause in sql query would not solve this issue since there are many other tables use the same SP and they need the data where CompletedVolume <= 50. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I am trying to have the max(Q9Volume) value on SP, but something happening I have never seen before. The query is like:
Select r.* from (select * from results1 union select * from results2) r
left outer join procedures p on r.pid = p.id
The interesting this is there are some columns I see that does not included by neither results1/results2 nor procedures tables when I run the query. For example, there is no column like Q9Volume in the tables (result1, result2 and procedures), however when I run the query I see the columns on the output! How is that possible?
You can set the Row hidden property to True when [Max(CVolume)] is less or equal than 50.
Select the row and go to Row Visibility
Select Show or Hide based on an expression option and use this expression:
=IIF(
Max(Fields!Q9Volume.Value)<=50,
True,False
)
It will show something like this:
Note maximum value for Cancer and Tunnel are 7 and 10 respectively, so
they will be hidden if you apply the above expression.
Let me know if this helps.
I have a table with following structure
ID FirstName LastName CollectedNumbers
1 A B 10,11,15,55
2 C D 101,132,111
I want a boolean value based on CollectedNumber Range. e.g. If CollectedNumbers are between 1 and 100 then True if Over 100 then False. Can anyone Suggest what would be best way to accomplish this. Collected Numbers won't be sorted always.
It so happens that you have a pretty simple way to see if values are 100 or over in the list. If such a value exists, then there are at least three characters between the commas. If the numbers are never more than 999, you could do:
select (case when ','+CollectedNumbers+',' not like '%,[0-9][0-9][0-9]%' then 1
else 0
end) as booleanflag
This happens to work for the break point of 100. It is obviously not a general solution. The best solution would be to use a junction table with one row per id and CollectedNumber.
Just make a function, which will return true/False, in the database which will convert the string values(10,11,15,55) into a table and call that function in the Selection of the Query like this
Select
ID, FirstName, LastName,
dbo.fncCollectedNumbersResult(stringvalue) as Result
from yourTableName
I think the easiest you can do is build a C# function and use the builtin sqlclr to load it as a custom function you can then call.
Inside the C# function, you can then sort your numbers and make simple logic to return your true/false.
I am writing reports using Report Builder 3, and I need some help with an sql query to get unique values.
Using the following sample data:
I need to be able to get one single value for feeBudRec returned for each feeRef. The value of each feeBudRec is always the same for each individual feeRef (eg for every data row for feeRef LR01 will have a feeBudRec of 1177).
The reason why I need to get a single feeBudRec value for each feeRef is that I need to be able to total the feeBudRec value for each feeRef in a feePin (eg for feePin LEE, I need to total the feeBudRec values for LR01 and PS01, which should be 1177 + 1957 to get a total of 3134; but if I don't have unique values for feeBudRec, it will add the values for each row, which would bring back a total of 11756 for the 8 LEE rows).
My experience with writing SQL queries is very limited, but from searching the internet, it looks like I'll need to put in a subquery into my SQL query in order to get a single unique feeBudRec figure for each feeRef, and that a subquery that gets a minimum feeBudRec value for each feeRef should work for me.
Based on examples I've found, I think the following subquery should work:
SELECT a.feeRef, a.feeBudRec
FROM (
SELECT uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef, Min(uvw_EarnerInfo.feeBudRec) as AvailableTime
FROM uvw_EarnerInfo
GROUP BY
uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef
) as x INNER JOIN uvw_EarnerInfo as a ON a.feeRef = x.feeRef AND a.feeBudRec = x.AvailableTime;
The problem is that I have no idea how to insert that subquery into the query I'm using to produce the report (as follows):
SELECT
uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef
,uvw_EarnerInfo.PersonName
,uvw_EarnerInfo.PersonSurname
,uvw_EarnerInfo.feePin
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.matRef
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeTypeCode
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeCharge
,uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeElapsed
,uvw_WoffTimeByTime.WoffMins
,uvw_WoffTimeByTime.WoffCharge
,uvw_EarnerInfo.feeBudRec
,uvw_EarnerInfo.personOccupation
FROM
uvw_RB_TimeLedger
LEFT OUTER JOIN uvw_WoffTimeByTime
ON uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeId = uvw_WoffTimeByTime.TimeId
RIGHT OUTER JOIN uvw_EarnerInfo
ON uvw_EarnerInfo.feeRef = uvw_RB_TimeLedger.feeRef
WHERE
uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate >= #TimeDate
AND uvw_RB_TimeLedger.TimeDate <= #TimeDate2
If that subquery will get the correct results, can anyone please help me with inserting it into my report query. Otherwise, can anyone let me know what I will need to do to get a unique feeBudRec value for each feeRef?
Depends on the exact schema, but assuming the uvw_EarnerInfo lists the Pin, Ref, and Rec without duplicates, try adding an extra column (after personOccupation) on the end of your query such as :
feeBudRecSum = (Select SUM(FeeBudRec) From uvw_EarnerInfo x
where x.feePin = uvw_EarnerInfo.feePin
Group By x.FeePin)
Note that you would not Sum these values in your report. This column should have the total you are looking for.
The key to Report Builder is to get your query correct from the offset and let the wizard then structure your report for you. It takes all the hard work out of structuring your report manually.
I haven't used Report Builder for a while now but in the query builder of the report displaying the graphical representation of your query you should be able to drag and drop columns in and out of the query set. Dragging a column upwards and out of the box (showing your columns) would have the effect of causing your report to break on this column.
If you restructure this way you will probably have to run the report generator again to regenerate the report and restructure it.
Once you are happy with the structure you can then begin to add the summary columns.
