SELECT records until new value SQL - sql

Question

I have a table
Val | Number
08 | 1
09 | 1
10 | 1
11 | 3
12 | 0
13 | 1
14 | 1
15 | 1
I need to return the last values where Number = 1 (however many that may be) until Number changes, but do not need the first instances where Number = 1. Essentially I need to select back until Number changes to 0 (15, 14, 13)
Is there a proper way to do this in MSSQL?

Answer 1

Based on following:
I need to return the last values where Number = 1
Essentially I need to select back until Number changes to 0 (15, 14,
13)
Try (Fiddle demo ):
select val, number
from T
where val > (select max(val)
from T
where number<>1)
EDIT: to address all possible combinations (Fiddle demo 2)
;with cte1 as
(
select 1 id, max(val) maxOne
from T
where number=1
),
cte2 as
(
select 1 id, isnull(max(val),0) maxOther
from T
where val < (select maxOne from cte1) and number<>1
)
select val, number
from T cross join
(select maxOne, maxOther
from cte1 join cte2 on cte1.id = cte2.id
) X
where val>maxOther and val<=maxOne

Answer 2

I think you can use window functions, something like this:
with cte as (
-- generate two row_number to enumerate distinct groups
select
Val, Number,
row_number() over(partition by Number order by Val) as rn1,
row_number() over(order by Val) as rn2
from Table1
), cte2 as (
-- get groups with Number = 1 and last group
select
Val, Number,
rn2 - rn1 as rn1, max(rn2 - rn1) over() as rn2
from cte
where Number = 1
)
select Val, Number
from cte2
where rn1 = rn2

DEMO: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/e7d54/23
DDL
create table T(val int identity(8,1), number int)
insert into T values
(1),(1),(1),(3),(0),(1),(1),(1),(0),(2)
DML
; WITH last_1 AS (
SELECT Max(val) As val
FROM t
WHERE number = 1
)
, last_non_1 AS (
SELECT Coalesce(Max(val), -937) As val
FROM t
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT val
FROM last_1
WHERE last_1.val > t.val
)
AND number <> 1
)
SELECT t.val
, t.number
FROM t
CROSS
JOIN last_1
CROSS
JOIN last_non_1
WHERE t.val <= last_1.val
AND t.val > last_non_1.val
I know it's a little verbose but I've deliberately kept it that way to illustrate the methodolgy.
Find the highest val where number=1.
For all values where the val is less than the number found in step 1, find the largest val where the number<>1
Finally, find the rows that fall within the values we uncovered in steps 1 & 2.

Answer 4

select val, count (number) from
yourtable
group by val
having count(number) > 1
The having clause is the key here, giving you all the vals that have more than one value of 1.

Answer 5

This is a common approach for getting rows until some value changes. For your specific case use desc in proper spots.
Create sample table
select * into #tmp from
(select 1 as id, 'Alpha' as value union all
select 2 as id, 'Alpha' as value union all
select 3 as id, 'Alpha' as value union all
select 4 as id, 'Beta' as value union all
select 5 as id, 'Alpha' as value union all
select 6 as id, 'Gamma' as value union all
select 7 as id, 'Alpha' as value) t
Pull top rows until value changes:
with cte as (select * from #tmp t)
select * from
(select cte.*, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by id) rn from cte) OriginTable
inner join
(
select cte.*, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by id) rn from cte
where cte.value = (select top 1 cte.value from cte order by cte.id)
) OnlyFirstValueRecords
on OriginTable.rn = OnlyFirstValueRecords.rn and OriginTable.id = OnlyFirstValueRecords.id
On the left side we put an original table. On the right side we put only rows whose value is equal to the value in first line.
Records in both tables will be same until target value changes. After line #3 row numbers will get different IDs associated because of the offset and will never be joined with original table:
LEFT RIGHT
ID Value RN ID Value RN
1 Alpha 1 | 1 Alpha 1
2 Alpha 2 | 2 Alpha 2
3 Alpha 3 | 3 Alpha 3
----------------------- result set ends here
4 Beta 4 | 5 Alpha 4
5 Alpha 5 | 7 Alpha 5
6 Gamma 6 |
7 Alpha 7 |
The ID must be unique. Ordering by this ID must be same in both ROW_NUMBER() functions.
