I am using SSRS 2005 using SQL Server.
I have 2 tables:
Order - contains open (unshipped) orders
Order_History - contains closed (shipped and invoiced) orders
I am using a UNION ALL to get data from both tables. However, I would like to add 1 multivalue parameter OrderType with "open", "closed", "both" for the values so the user can say they ONLY want open, ONLY want closed, or BOTH.
Is there a way in the the dataset query (that the table uses) to put an IF or CASE so that the query runs only one select statement depending on what's chosen?
IN other words, something like:
"IF (#OrderType) = 'OPEN' select field a,b from Order;
ELSEIF (#OrderType) = 'CLOSED' then select field a,b from Order_History;
Else select field a,b from Order UNION ALL select field a,b from Order_History".
You could add a column to both selects in the UNION with 'open' and 'closed' respectively and then do an outer query around it to select only the values that you want with a case statement on the #orderType:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, 'open' AS STATUS
FROM order
UNION ALL
SELECT *, 'closed'
FROM Order_History
) a
WHERE STATUS = CASE
WHEN #OrderType = 'both' THEN STATUS
ELSE #OrderType
END;

Here is my query with the output below the syntax.
SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN id = 'RUS0261431' THEN value END AS sr_type,
COUNT(CASE WHEN id in ('RUS0290788') AND value in ('1','2','3','4') THEN respondentid END) AS sub_ces,
COUNT(CASE WHEN id IN ('RUS0290788') AND value in ('5','6','7') THEN respondentid END) AS pos_ces,
COUNT(*) as total_ces
FROM `some_table`
WHERE id in ( 'RUS0261431') AND id <> '' AND value IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY 1
As you can see with the attached table I'm unable to group the values based on Id RUS0290788 with the distinct values that map to RUS0261431. Is there anyway to pivot with altering my case when statements so I can group sub_ces and pos_ces by sr_type. Thanks in advanceenter image description here
You can simplify your WHERE condition to WHERE id = ('RUS0261431'). Only records with this value will be selected so you do not have to repeat this in the CASE statements.
I need to verify that each order has been acknowledged. The problem is that each order can have multiple codes. The query I had (utilizing a CASE statement) would check for blank fields or fields with the string "None" to verify the order has not been acknowledged. It would return the appropriate result, but multiple rows (once for each possible response) and I only need (1).
I'm attempting to create a temp table that will return the appropriate result and join (via an order unique ID) the two tables together hoping to correct the multiple row issue. Here is the code:
DROP TABLE staging_TABLE;
CREATE TEMP TABLE staging_TABLE(
ORDERID varchar(256) ,
CODE varchar(256) );
/*Keeping data types consistent with the real table*/
INSERT INTO staging_TABLE
SELECT ORDERID,
CASE CODE
WHEN 'None' THEN 'No'
WHEN '' THEN 'No'
ELSE 'Yes'
END
FROM ORDERS
WHERE UTCDATE > SYSDATE - 10
AND CODE IS NOT NULL;
SELECT R.QUESTION,
R.ORDERNAME,
T.CODE
FROM ORDERS R
INNER JOIN staging_TABLE T
ON R.ORDERID= T.ORDERID
WHERE R.UTCDATE > SYSDATE - 10
AND R.CODE IS NOT NULL
AND R.CATEGORY IS NOT NULL
AND R.UTCDATE IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
R.ORDER,
T.CODE,
R.ORDERNAME,
R.CODE
ORDER BY
R.ORDERNAME,
R.ORDER;
Am I doing this correctly? Or is this even the right approach?

No. You don't need a temp table for this. Your query might look like this:
SELECT question, ordername
, CASE WHEN code IN ('None', '') THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END AS code
FROM orders
WHERE utcdate > sysdate - 10
AND code IS NOT NULL
AND category IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY question, ordername, 3, "order"
ORDER BY ordername, "order";
ORDER is a reserved word. It's not possible to use it as column name unless double quoted. There is something wrong there.
AND R.UTCDATE IS NOT NULL is redundant. It can't be NULL anyway with WHERE R.UTCDATE > SYSDATE - 10
3 in my GROUP BY clause is a positional reference to the CASE expression. Alternatively you can spell it out again:
....
GROUP BY question, ordername
, CASE WHEN code IN ('None', '') THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END
, "order"
You can use the DISTINCT keyword as follows so you will not need a temp table:
SELECT DISTINCT QUESTION,
ORDERNAME,
CASE CODE
WHEN 'None' THEN 'No'
WHEN '' THEN 'No'
ELSE 'Yes'
FROM ORDERS
WHERE UTCDATE > SYSDATE - 10
AND CODE IS NOT NULL
AND CATEGORY IS NOT NULL
AND UTCDATE IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY 2,3;
I have a SQL Server table with a column called Category. In my user interface, I have a dropdown list of the category. User can select a category and click on a Search button to filter the results by the category. In the dropdown, the first option is blank. Means if the user wants to see all records from all categories, he can select blank.
In my SQL Select I have 2 statements for this
IF #Catg IS NULL
Begin
Select *
From Table
End
Else
Begin
Select *
From Table
Where Catg = #Catg
End
The Catg column in the table will have either a NULL or a category. Is this possible to do in a single SQL statement?
You can use an OR statement to join the clauses together:
Select *
From Table
Where Catg = #Catg OR #Catg IS NULL
How about
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE (Catg = #Catg) OR (Catg IS NULL)
might be ISNULL solve your problem this will check if values is NULL then '' else your VALUE
select * from tblName
where ISNULL(Catg , '')= ISNULL(#Catg, ISNULL(Catg , ''))
I have a table with several rows, and several columns. It looks like this:
Name Description
X PASS
X PASS
X FAIL
I want it to return only one row. If all of them are PASS, return PASS.
If one or more of them are FAIL, then return FAIL.
What's the best way to go about achieving this in SQL Server 2008?
EDIT: The values in the name column will always be the same.
Depending on the database indexes, and assuming you want one row returned per unique name, I would look at the performance of
select
name,
min([description]) as description
from
tableA
group by
name
compared to the other solutions
SELECT TOP 1 CASE Description WHEN 'FAIL' THEN 'FAIL' ELSE 'PASS' END
FROM DaTable
ORDER BY Description
OP: Is it possible that the table is empty? In that case this query won't return any rows, obviously.
EDIT
According to aquinas's comment I created a modified query without ordering:
SELECT CASE COUNT(Description) WHEN 0 THEN 'FAIL' ELSE 'PASS' END
FROM DaTable
WHERE Description = 'FAIL'
This query will return PASS if DaTable is empty.
This is the simplest solution you will find:
SELECT MIN(Description) FROM tbl
If there's at least one FAIL, then our result column will contain FAIL, otherwise, it will contain PASS.
You can use EXISTS to get the existance of a row containing "FAIL".
You could also try something like:
SELECT TOP 1 COALESCE(tFail.Description,t.Description)
FROM myTable AS t
LEFT JOIN myTable AS tFail ON tFail.Name = t.Name AND tFail.Description = 'FAIL'
WHERE t.Name = 'x'
Here is the query:
--DROP TABLE result
CREATE TABLE result(Name varchar(10),Description varchar(20))
--select * from result
INSERT INTO result
VALUES('X','PASS'),('X','PASS'),('X','FAIL')
;WITH CTE(descp,cnt) as (SELECT [description],COUNT(*) as cnt FROM result group by [description])
SELECT CASE WHEN COUNT(*) > 1 then 'FAIL' when COUNT(*)=1 then MAX(descp) else 'PASS' END FROM CTE
I have a sub query that returns one column, showing as GroupType, I then want to do a CASE function on this result within the main query, however I get an invalid column name when using the CASE statement.
Can i do this in SQL to do I have to refer to it by a different name
SELECT CASE
WHEN
(
SELECT column
FROM othertable
) = 1
THEN '1'
ELSE '2'
END
FROM mytable
To reuse the subquery result:
SELECT subvalue, CASE subvalue WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 2 END
FROM (
SELECT (
SELECT column
FROM othertable
) AS subvalue
FROM mytable
) q
