I have a query in which I need to do some filtering. I can do it in a subcube, but I am wondering if I could do this in a WHERE clause without subcube. I think this solution would be faster/cleaner. I need to filter out product models with IB>0 in last month, this is my solution so far (only part of a query):
SELECT {[Measures].[AFR],[Measures].[IB]} ON COLUMNS,
([dim_ProductModel].[ODM].children)*[Dim_Date].[Date Full].children ON ROWS
FROM
(
SELECT
FILTER([dim_ProductModel].[Product Model].children,
([Measures].[IB]*[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&[2014-04-01]>0)) ON COLUMNS FROM
[cub_dashboard_spares]
)
however, I would prefer to have it in one query without subquery something like this (its not working though):
SELECT {[Measures].[AFR],[Measures].[IB]} ON COLUMNS,
([dim_ProductModel].[ODM].children)*[Dim_Date].[Date Full].children ON ROWS
FROM
[cub_dashboard_spares]
WHERE FILTER([dim_ProductModel].[Product Model].children,
([Measures].[IB]*[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&[2014-04-01]>0))
I get some error message kind of:
he MDX function CURRENTMEMBER failed because the coordinate for the ... contains a set..
I basically understand why is he not accepting is as in an WHERE clause I should be more specific but I wonder if there is some possibility to rewrite it so that it works.
I don't want that ProductModel appears in the results set.
SELECT {[Measures].[AFR],[Measures].[IB]} ON COLUMNS,
([dim_ProductModel].[ODM].children)*[Dim_Date].[Date Full].children ON ROWS
FROM
[cub_dashboard_spares]
WHERE
({[dim_ProductModel].[Product Model].children},
[Measures].[IB],
PERIODSTODATE(
[Dim_Date].[Date Full], //<<needs to be a level from your Dim_date
[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&[2014-04-01]) //<<needs to be a member from the levelyou have used in above argument
)

I want to group by two columns, however MS Access won't let me do it.
Here is the code I wrote:
SELECT
tbl_Produktion.Datum, tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter,
tbl_Produktion.ProduktionsID, tbl_Produktion.Linie,
tbl_Produktion.Schicht, tbl_Produktion.Anzahl_Schichten_P,
tbl_Produktion.Schichtteam, tbl_Produktion.Von, tbl_Produktion.Bis,
tbl_Produktion.Pause, tbl_Produktion.Kunde, tbl_Produktion.TeileNr,
tbl_Produktion.FormNr, tbl_Produktion.LabyNr,
SUM(tbl_Produktion.Stueckzahl_Prod),
tbl_Produktion.Stueckzahl_Ausschuss, tbl_Produktion.Ausschussgrund,
tbl_Produktion.Kommentar, tbl_Produktion.StvSchichtleiter,
tbl_Produktion.Von2, tbl_Produktion.Bis2, tbl_Produktion.Pause2,
tbl_Produktion.Arbeiter3, tbl_Produktion.Von3, tbl_Produktion.Bis3,
tbl_Produktion.Pause3, tbl_Produktion.Arbeiter4,
tbl_Produktion.Von4, tbl_Produktion.Bis4, tbl_Produktion.Pause4,
tbl_Produktion.Leiharbeiter5, tbl_Produktion.Von5,
tbl_Produktion.Bis5, tbl_Produktion.Pause5,
tbl_Produktion.Leiharbeiter6, tbl_Produktion.Von6,
tbl_Produktion.Bis6, tbl_Produktion.Pause6, tbl_Produktion.Muster
FROM
tbl_Personal
INNER JOIN
tbl_Produktion ON tbl_Personal.PersID = tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter
GROUP BY
tbl_Produktion.Datum, tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter;
It works when I group it by all the columns, but not like this.
The error message say that the rest of the columns aren't part of the aggregation-function (translated from german to english as best as I could).
PS.: I also need the sum of "tbl_Produktion.Stueckzahl_Prod" therefore I tried using the SUM function (couldn't try it yet).
Have you tried something along these lines?
SELECT
tbl_Produktion.Datum, tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter,
MAX(tbl_Produktion.ProduktionsID), MAX(tbl_Produktion.Linie),
MAX(tbl_Produktion.Schicht), MAX(tbl_Produktion.Anzahl_Schichten_P),
MAX(tbl_Produktion.Schichtteam), MAX(tbl_Produktion.Von), MAX(tbl_Produktion.Bis),
SUM(tbl_Produktion.Stueckzahl_Prod)
FROM
tbl_Personal
INNER JOIN
tbl_Produktion ON tbl_Personal.PersID = tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter
GROUP BY
tbl_Produktion.Datum, tbl_Produktion.Schichtleiter;
I have used the MAX function for all the data except the two items you specify in the GROUP BY and the one where you desire the SUM. I took the liberty of leaving out mush of your data just to get started.
Using the MAX function turns out to be a convenient workaround when the data item is known to be unique within each group. We cannot know your data or your itent, so we cannot tell you whether MAX will yield the results you need.
If you use an aggregation function in the select clause, you must group by every column that you're selecting that's not an aggregation. If you don't want to do that for some reason (perhaps it changes the output of the aggregation in way that you don't intend) you either must think of an aggregate to use (pick a value. Average? Max? Min?) or just do two selects, one for the aggregate, and one for the non-aggregates. But, then, you have to decide how to get the non-aggregated fields that make sense for the aggregate (or show them all in a table, I suppose?)
I'm stuck in an (apparently) extremely trivial task that I can't make work , and I really feel no chance than to ask for advice.
I used to deal with PHP/MySQL more than 10 years ago and I might be quite rusty now that I'm dealing with an SQLite DB using Qt5.
Basically I'm selecting some records while wanting to make some math operations on the fetched columns. I recall (and re-read some documentation and examples) that the keyword "AS" is going to conveniently rename (alias) a value.
So for example I have this query, where "X" is an integer number that I render into this big Qt string before executing it with a QSqlQuery. This query lets me select all the electronic components used in a Project and calculate how many of them to order (rounding to the nearest multiple of 5) and the total price per component.
SELECT Inventory.id, UsedItems.pid, UsedItems.RefDes, Inventory.name, Inventory.category,
Inventory.type, Inventory.package, Inventory.value, Inventory.manufacturer,
Inventory.price, UsedItems.qty_used as used_qty,
UsedItems.qty_used*X AS To_Order,
ROUND((UsedItems.qty_used*X/5)+0.5)*5*CAST((X > 0) AS INT) AS Nearest5,
Inventory.price*Nearest5 AS TotPrice
FROM Inventory
LEFT JOIN UsedItems ON Inventory.id=UsedItems.cid
WHERE UsedItems.pid='1'
ORDER BY RefDes, value ASC
So, for example, I aliased UsedItems.qty_used as used_qty. At first I tried to use it in the next field, multiplying it by X, writing "used_qty*X AS To_Order" ... Query failed. Well, no worries, I had just put the original tab.field name and it worked.
Going further, I have a complex calculation and I want to use its result on the next field, but the same issue popped out: if I alias "ROUND(...)" AS Nearest5, and then try to use this value by multiplying it in the next field, the query will fail.
Please note: the query WORKS, but ONLY if I don't use aliases in the following fields, namely if I don't use the alias Nearest5 in the TotPrice field. I just want to avoid re-writing the whole ROUND(...) thing for the TotPrice field.
What am I missing/doing wrong? Either SQLite does not support aliases on the same query or I am using a wrong syntax and I am just too stuck/confused to see the mistake (which I'm sure it has to be really stupid).
Column aliases defined in a SELECT cannot be used:
For other expressions in the same SELECT.
For filtering in the WHERE.
For conditions in the FROM clause.
Many databases also restrict their use in GROUP BY and HAVING.
All databases support them in ORDER BY.
This is how SQL works. The issue is two things:
The logic order of processing clauses in the query (i.e. how they are compiled). This affects the scoping of parameters.
The order of processing expressions in the SELECT. This is indeterminate. There is no requirement for the ordering of parameters.
For a simple example, what should x refer to in this example?
select x as a, y as x
from t
where x = 2;
By not allowing duplicates, SQL engines do not have to make a choice. The value is always t.x.
You can try with nested queries.
A SELECT query can be nested in another SELECT query within the FROM clause;
multiple queries can be nested, for example by following the following pattern:
SELECT *,[your last Expression] AS LastExp From (SELECT *,[your Middle Expression] AS MidExp FROM (SELECT *,[your first Expression] AS FirstExp FROM yourTables));
Obviously, respecting the order that the expressions of the innermost select query can be used by subsequent select queries:
the first expressions can be used by all other queries, but the other intermediate expressions can only be used by queries that are further upstream.
For your case, your query may be:
SELECT *, PRC*Nearest5 AS TotPrice FROM (SELECT *, ROUND((UsedItems.qty_used*X/5)+0.5)*5*CAST((X > 0) AS INT) AS Nearest5 FROM (SELECT Inventory.id, UsedItems.pid, UsedItems.RefDes, Inventory.name, Inventory.category, Inventory.type, Inventory.package, Inventory.value, Inventory.manufacturer, Inventory.price AS PRC, UsedItems.qty_used*X AS To_Order FROM Inventory LEFT JOIN UsedItems ON Inventory.id=UsedItems.cid WHERE UsedItems.pid='1' ORDER BY RefDes, value ASC))
I am new to MDX Querying and am trying to create a query that utilizes Except. I currently have one that works when i do a filter with a bunch of OR's but it is very slow.
What i want to do is count the distinct back order lines (where that doesn't equal 0) except when 2 aging codes are set. (050 and 060).
This query seems to work but is extremely slow (not using except)
DISTINCTCOUNT(filter([Product].[Segment - Line - Types].[Product].members,
(([Measures].[BackOrderLineCount], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[005] ) OR
([Measures].[BackOrderLineCount], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[010] )OR
([Measures].[BackOrderLineCount], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[020] )OR
([Measures].[BackOrderLineCount], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[030] )OR
([Measures].[BackOrderLineCount], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[040] ))))
I was hoping if i switched it to "EXCEPT" it would speed it up...
Any help would be appreciated i've been searching all day for this.
You don't really need to use a FILTER function for this requirement. Also, the minus operator is as good as EXCEPT while being more handy.
You should be looking at obtaining tuples of products and aging code which have a value for back order line.
DISTINCTCOUNT([Product].[Segment - Line - Types].[Product].members *
NonEmpty(
([Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].CHILDREN - {[Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[50], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[60]}),
[Measures].[BackOrderLineCount])
)
The NonEmpty function returns those aging codes which have back order lines.
If you had to use EXCEPT, the code would look like below:
EXCEPT
(
[Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].CHILDREN, {[Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[50], [Aging].[AgingCode].[Aging].&[60]}
)
I've just started to learn MDX and i want to do a query like that:
filter data by the cost ( i've already made that query but without the sum) like that:
SELECT [Measures].[SumOfSelled] ON 0,
FILTER ([From].[From].[City].members, [Measures].[SumOfSelled]>7000) ON 1
FROM [BI-Avia]
It's working
and it is OK
BUT!!!
I need also to show the sum of filtered elements under this filtered result by cities
I know how to find it separately:
with member [Measures].FilteredSum as sum(filter([From].From].City].members,Measures].SunOfSelled]>7000),Measures].[SumOfSelled])
select{SumOfSelled} on 0
from [BI-AVIA]
But i have to show this together!! The SUM under Filtered! two in one! I need youe help! I think it's very clear for you!!!
Just define the calculated member on the [From].[From] hierarchy and then combine both queries, using a union of sets (abbreviated with + in MDX):
with member [From].[From].FilteredSum as
sum(filter([From].[From].City].members, Measures].SumOfSelled]>7000))
SELECT [Measures].[SumOfSelled]
ON 0,
FILTER ([From].[From].[City].members, [Measures].[SumOfSelled]>7000)
+
{ [From].[From].FilteredSum }
ON 1
FROM [BI-Avia]
You could possibly define the filter as a set in the WITH clause, which would avoid that Analysis Services evaluates it twice.
So I got this statement, which works fine:
SELECT MAX(patient_history_date_bio) AS med_date, medication_name
FROM biological
WHERE patient_id = 12)
GROUP BY medication_name
But, I would like to have the corresponding medication_dose also. So I type this up
SELECT MAX(patient_history_date_bio) AS med_date, medication_name, medication_dose
FROM biological
WHERE (patient_id = 12)
GROUP BY medication_name
But, it gives me an error saying:
"coumn 'biological.medication_dose' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.".
So I try adding medication_dose to the GROUP BY clause, but then it gives me extra rows that I don't want.
I would like to get the latest row for each medication in my table. (The latest row is determined by the max function, getting the latest date).
How do I fix this problem?
Use:
SELECT b.medication_name,
b.patient_history_date_bio AS med_date,
b.medication_dose
FROM BIOLOGICAL b
JOIN (SELECT y.medication_name,
MAX(y.patient_history_date_bio) AS max_date
FROM BIOLOGICAL y
GROUP BY y.medication_name) x ON x.medication_name = b.medication_name
AND x.max_date = b.patient_history_date_bio
WHERE b.patient_id = ?
If you really have to, as one quick workaround, you can apply an aggregate function to your medication_dose such as MAX(medication_dose).
However note that this is normally an indication that you are either building the query incorrectly, or that you need to refactor/normalize your database schema. In your case, it looks like you are tackling the query incorrectly. The correct approach should the one suggested by OMG Poinies in another answer.
You may be interested in checking out the following interesting article which describes the reasons behind this error:
But WHY Must That Column Be Contained in an Aggregate Function or the GROUP BY clause?
You need to put max(medication_dose) in your select. Group by returns a result set that contains distinct values for fields in your group by clause, so apparently you have multiple records that have the same medication_name, but different doses, so you are getting two results.
By putting in max(medication_dose) it will return the maximum dose value for each medication_name. You can use any aggregate function on dose (max, min, avg, sum, etc.)
