How can retrieve that data:
Name Title Profit
Peter CEO 2
Robert A.D 3
Michael Vice 5
Peter CEO 4
Robert Admin 5
Robert CEO 13
Adrin Promotion 8
Michael Vice 21
Peter CEO 3
Robert Admin 15
to get this:
Peter........4
Robert.......15
Michael......21
Adrin........8
I want to get the highest profit value from each name.
If there are multiple equal names always take the highest value.
select name,max(profit) from table group by name
Since this type of request almost always follows with "now can I include the title?" - here is a query that gets the highest profit for each name but can include all the other columns without grouping or applying arbitrary aggregates to those other columns:
;WITH x AS
(
SELECT Name, Title, Profit, rn = ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY Name ORDER BY Profit DESC)
FROM dbo.table
)
SELECT Name, Title, Profit
FROM x
WHERE rn = 1;

i'm introducing you the problem with DISTINCT values by column condition i have dealt with and can't provide
any idea how i can solve it.
So. The problem is i have two Stephen here declared , but i don't want duplicates:
**
The problem:
**
id vehicle_id worker_id user_type user_fullname
9 1 NULL external_users John Dalton
10 1 16 employees Mike
11 1 1 employees Stephen
12 2 173 employee Nicholas
13 2 1 employee Stephen
14 1 NULL external_users Peter
**
The desired output:**
id vehicle_id worker_id user_type user_fullname
9 1 NULL external_users John Dalton
10 1 16 employees Mike
12 2 173 employee Nicholas
13 2 1 employee Stephen
14 1 NULL external_users Peter
I have tried CASE statements but without success. When i group by it by worker_id,
it removes another duplicates, so i figured out it needs to be grouped by some special condition?
If anyone can provide me some hint how i can solve this problem , i will be very grateful.
Thank's!
There are no duplicate rows in this table. Just because Stephen appears twice doesn't make them duplicates because the ID, VEHICLE_ID, and USER_TYPE are different.
What you need to do is decide how you want to identify the Stephen record you wish to see in the output. Is it the one with the highest VEHICLE_ID? The "latest" record, i.e. the one with the highest ID?
You will use that rule in a window function to order the rows within your criteria, and then use that row number to filter down to the results you want. Something like this:
select id, vehicle_id, worker_id, user_type, user_fullname
from (
select id, vehicle_id, worker_id, user_type, user_fullname,
row_number() over (partition by worker_id, user_fullname order by id desc) n
from user_vehicle
) t
where t.n = 1

Assume that I have one table looking like this:
ID
ClientID
Name
Country
1
JX100
John
Canada
2
JX100
John
Japan
3
JX690
Rob
EUA
4
PX301
Alice
France
And My query:
SELECT DISTINCT ClientID,Name,Country FROM CLIENTS
OUTPUT:
ClientID
Name
Country
JX100
John
Canada
JX100
John
Japan
JX690
Rob
EUA
PX301
Alice
France
I want to take that:
DESIRED:
ClientID
Name
Country
JX100
John
Canada
JX690
Rob
EUA
PX301
Alice
France
TL;DR
I just want to select one country for all Clients, I don't want to get repeated rows.
You can use row_number()over() with common table expression like below:
with cte as (
SELECT DISTINCT ClientID,Name,Country,row_number()over(partition by ClientID ,Name order by Country) rownumber FROM CLIENTS)
select * from cte where rownumber=1
Row_number()over(partition by ClientID ,Name order by Country) will generate a sequence for contries starting from 1 against each clientid and name. So when you will select rownumber=1 this query will select one country for a single clientid,name combination.
Table A has ID and date and name. Each time the record is changed the first 11 digits of the Id remain the same but the final digit would increase by 1. For example
123456789110 01-01-2020 John smith
119876543210 01-01-2020 Peter Griffin
119876543211 05-01-2020 Peter Griffin
How could I write a statement that shows The iD associated with John smith as well as the most recent Id of Peter Griffin? Thanks
Yet another option is using WITH TIES
Select top 1 with ties *
From YourTable
Order by row_number() over (partition by left(id,11) order by date desc)
Why not just use max()?
select name, max(id)
from t
group by name;
I have a query that creates a result set like this:
Rank Name
1 Fred
1 John
2 Mary
2 Fred
2 Betty
3 John
4 Betty
4 Frank
I need to then select the lowest rank for each name, e.g.:
Rank Name
1 Fred
1 John
2 Mary
2 Betty
4 Frank
Can this be done within TSQL?
SELECT MIN(Rank) AS Rank, Name
FROM TableName
GROUP BY Name
yes
select name, min(rank)
from nameTable
group by name
As Paul + Kevin have pointed out, simple cases of returning a value from an aggregate can be extracted using MIN / MAX etc (just note that RANK is a reserved word)
In a more general / complicated case, e.g. where you need to find the second / Nth highest rank, you can use PARTITIONs with ROW_NUMBER() to do ranking and then filter by the rank.
SELECT [Rank], [Name]
FROM
(
SELECT [RANK], [Name],
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Name] ORDER BY [Rank]) as [RowRank]
FROM [MyTable]
) AS [MyTableReRanked]
WHERE [RowRank] = #N
ORDER BY [Rank];
I am facing a very common issue regarding "Selecting top N rows for each group in a table".
Consider a table with id, name, hair_colour, score columns.
I want a resultset such that, for each hair colour, get me top 3 scorer names.
To solve this i got exactly what i need on Rick Osborne's blogpost "sql-getting-top-n-rows-for-a-grouped-query"
That solution doesn't work as expected when my scores are equal.
In above example the result as follow.
id name hair score ranknum
---------------------------------
12 Kit Blonde 10 1
9 Becca Blonde 9 2
8 Katie Blonde 8 3
3 Sarah Brunette 10 1
4 Deborah Brunette 9 2 - ------- - - > if
1 Kim Brunette 8 3
Consider the row 4 Deborah Brunette 9 2. If this also has same score (10) same as Sarah, then ranknum will be 2,2,3 for "Brunette" type of hair.
What's the solution to this?
If you're using SQL Server 2005 or newer, you can use the ranking functions and a CTE to achieve this:
;WITH HairColors AS
(SELECT id, name, hair, score,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY hair ORDER BY score DESC) as 'RowNum'
)
SELECT id, name, hair, score
FROM HairColors
WHERE RowNum <= 3
This CTE will "partition" your data by the value of the hair column, and each partition is then order by score (descending) and gets a row number; the highest score for each partition is 1, then 2 etc.
So if you want to the TOP 3 of each group, select only those rows from the CTE that have a RowNum of 3 or less (1, 2, 3) --> there you go!
The way the algorithm comes up with the rank, is to count the number of rows in the cross-product with a score equal to or greater than the girl in question, in order to generate rank. Hence in the problem case you're talking about, Sarah's grid would look like
a.name | a.score | b.name | b.score
-------+---------+---------+--------
Sarah | 9 | Sarah | 9
Sarah | 9 | Deborah | 9
and similarly for Deborah, which is why both girls get a rank of 2 here.
The problem is that when there's a tie, all girls take the lowest value in the tied range due to this count, when you'd want them to take the highest value instead. I think a simple change can fix this:
Instead of a greater-than-or-equal comparison, use a strict greater-than comparison to count the number of girls who are strictly better. Then, add one to that and you have your rank (which will deal with ties as appropriate). So the inner select would be:
SELECT a.id, COUNT(*) + 1 AS ranknum
FROM girl AS a
INNER JOIN girl AS b ON (a.hair = b.hair) AND (a.score < b.score)
GROUP BY a.id
HAVING COUNT(*) <= 3
Can anyone see any problems with this approach that have escaped my notice?
Use this compound select which handles OP problem properly
SELECT g.* FROM girls as g
WHERE g.score > IFNULL( (SELECT g2.score FROM girls as g2
WHERE g.hair=g2.hair ORDER BY g2.score DESC LIMIT 3,1), 0)
Note that you need to use IFNULL here to handle case when table girls has less rows for some type of hair then we want to see in sql answer (in OP case it is 3 items).
