Hi, please do give me your expert advise and opinon on this matter:
I have a table name PerformaceRecords with a few columns, one of which is performance banding.
i.e.
PerformanceBanding
------------
Outstanding
Good
Average
Good
Poor
When I use a group by clause, i.e. Select PerformanceBanding, Count(PerformanceBanding) as ResultCount from PerformanceRecords group by PerformanceBanding
I got the result as
PerformanceBanding ResultCount
---------------------------------
Good 2
Poor 1
Average 1
Outstanding 1
What I want to get is the PerformanceBanding as columns and the Result as rows
i.e.
Good Poor Average Outstanding
----------------------------------
2 1 1 1
how do I go about modifying my SQL select statement to achieve this result?
I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' Â values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) Â must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName          Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
Lets say I have a list of customers, order date, and an item they ordered. I want to grab the MIN order date by customer, and the associated product. If I do:
Code: SELECT customer,min(order date),item FROM mytable GROUP BY customer
I get an error because item is not aggregated. But I don't want to group on it and i don't want to select a min/max of it. i just want it to carry over the item that is associated with that min order date.
I'm having a fight with Reporting Services at the minute when trying to compute an average at the row group level for a value summed in a column group.I have the following column groups:
Year Month Date
And the following row groups:
Region Product SubType (hidden, data at the date level is summed to Product)
At the moment I'm computing the average for SubType for each Date at the Product level (giving a decimal value), so for each day I end up with a nice average, that works. However I am unable to average that average over the whole Year for a Product. The issue being that I'm trying to combine Row Groups (Product) and Column Groups (Date/Year)
I have two issues I'm trying to deal with in my code.
1. I'm trying to group by first and last name, which are in two different columns 2. I'm trying to take an average of pay per miles.
Neither of these is working well. Actually, neither is working at all.
This is the code!
SELECT OD.DriverID, (W.FirstName + W.LastName AS 'Driver'), DATEADD(dd,(DATEDIFF(dd,0,O.ReadyTimeFrom)),0) AS Date, DATENAME(dw,O.ReadyTimeFrom) AS DayOfTheWeek, Count(OD.OrderID) AS 'Total Orders', SUM(O.Distance) AS OrderMiles,
I'd like to have all distinct recordIDs with relevant text associated with them. Each record has 3 text boxes in different languages. Each text in different language is defined by an AttributeDefinitionID. This is my query:
Select a.entryID, g.GroupName, c.CategoryName as ExperienceType, e.AttributeValue as EnglishWording, e1.AttributeValue as GermanWording, e2.AttributeValue as RussianWording, From Entry as a inner join entrycategory as b on b.entryid = a.entryid
[Code] ....
but in the results I get additional rows for each record even if the record doesnt have all three text boxes populated and there is only EnglishText for example.
EntryID GrouPName EnglishWording GermanWording RussianWording 1586 Red abc NULL NULL 1586 Red NULL NULL NULL 3566 Yellow NULL Hallo Welt NULL 3566 Yellow NULL NULL NULL 3566 Yellow Hello world NULL NULL 3566 Yellow Hello world Hallo Welt NULL
1586 should only return the first line with English wording. 3566 should return the last line that shows both English and German wording populated
Hi All,In Oracle, I can easily make this query :UPDATE t1 SET (f1,f2)=(SELECT AVG(f3),SUM(f4)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'I cannot seem to be able to do the same thing with MS-SQL. There areonly 2 ways I've figured out, and I fear performance cost in both cases,which are these :1)UPDATE t1 SET f1=(SELECT AVG(f3)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'and then the same statement but with f2, and2)UPDATE t1 SET f1=(SELECT AVG(f3)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6),f2=(SELECT SUM(f4)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'Is there a way with MS-SQL to do the Oracle equivalent in this case ?Thanks,Michel
I have an exisitng report that lists unit name, provider, runday, shift, patient. The report groups by unit name and there is a page break after each unit name. So in the current environment the report prints one page per unit that contains all of the providers, rundays, shifts, and patients for that unit name its grouping on. So the report would like like this when it prints:
Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit B............(repeat data from page 1) PAGE BREAK Unit C............(repeat data from page 1
The end user would like the ability to keep the report as is but would like to also be able to print the report as one page per each unit name, provider, runday and shift. so it would look like this
Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit A Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2
So I created a boolean parameter with a prompt of Page break by Unit, Provider, Runday & Shift? My thought is if the users sets this to False, the report will group on just Unit Name (the first example). If the user sets this to True, the report will group on Unit Name, Provider, Runday & Shift.
I set the grouping expression for this data table as: =iif(Parameters!Grouping.Value = "False", Fields!unit_Name.Value,(Fields!unit_Name.Value,Fields!Lname.Value,Fields!Rundays.ValueFields!Shift.Value))
Within the expression editor window it displays a syntax error and the report will not run.
I am looking to sum the dollar amounts spent by customer for their last five visits (actually looking for avg. spend in the last five trips).
So we are dealing with three fields: CustID, Date, Cost
I've had to do it the HARD way -- Crystal Report with running total fields numbering the five most recent trips (essentially rowID by group) and summing the $ figure; export to Access the entire report (1,000,000 records), and delete every record where the running rowID <> 5
There has to be a straightforward way to do this.
Any Top N query I've seen doesn't seem to be able to return a field other than the one sorting on. This is most annoying.
INNER JOIN F1ADR_ADDRESS ON (GLF_CHART_ACCT.CHART_NAME = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY1) AND (GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY2)
GROUP BY GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR2, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR3, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_CITY, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_STATE, F1ADR_ADDRESS.POST_CODE, F1ADR_ADDRESS.PHONE_NBR, F1ADR_ADDRESS.FAX_NBR, F1ADR_ADDRESS.EMAIL_ADDR_NAME, F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_NAME, GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI, F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_TITLE, GLF_CHART_ACCT.CHART_NAME, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_UNIQUE_NBR, GLF_CHART_ACCT.SELN_TYPE1_CODE
HAVING CHART_NAME='ARCHART' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 <> '' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.SELN_TYPE1_CODE = 'Trade' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 LIKE '%" + Search + "%' ORDER BY GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1;
I get errors if not all the fields are included in the group by clause.
what i dont get is why i have to create seperate groups for this query...or am i reading it wrong??
I've just written a query that successfully brings back the data from one table based on the information from another. Basically we have been given a table of information and need to update certain fields in our user_group table with the new info.
Here is the SELECT statement SELECT user_group.id, user_group.name, user_group.description, Consultants.description AS Expr10, user_group.btype, user_group.rootmenu, user_group.intra_user, user_group.primary_g_id, user_group.fname, user_group.lname, user_group.ntlogon, user_group.lang_id, user_group.[external], user_group.title, user_group.work_tel, user_group.work_fax, user_group.work_ext, user_group.mobile, user_group.sex, user_group.add2, user_group.add3, user_group.town, user_group.county, user_group.pcode, user_group.private_flag,
[code]....
We want to update the 'description' on the user_group table with the 'description' from the 'consultants' table. To test this, we only want to write the UPDATE so that it changes the description where the name is 'Adam Froth. The UPDATE statement that we've written is
UPDATE user_group SET user_group.description = Consultants.description FROM user_group INNER JOIN Consultants ON user_group.description = consultants.description WHERE name like 'Adam Froth%'
but it keeps erroring and saying that it could 'Not be bound'.
How to identify different fields with in a group of records?
Example: create table #test (ID int, Text varchar(10)) insert into #test select 1, 'ab' union all select 1, 'ab'
[Code] ...
I want to show additional field as Matched as ID 1 has same Text field on both the records, and for the ID 2 I want to show Unmatched as the Text fields are different but with the same ID.
i dont't know how to select row with max column value group by another column. I have T-SQL

Hi, We have a "Change Table" in SQL Server 2005, that contains the following information:
ChangeGUID (ID) ChangeAction (Update or Insert flag) ObjectType (Business Object Affected) ChangeDateTime ObjectContent (XML Column with the new version of the changed / inserted record)
This table is populated by triggers and it records data changes to tables we are interested in. The first 4 fields are meta data, while the 5th is an XML column that contains the changed record.
What I need to do is read this table using SSIS, then access the fields within the XML column so that they can be transformed / converted etc for insert into Oracle RDB, via ODBC.
So, How do I go about accessing the data within an XML column? The only XML handling component I can find deals with XML files, and not columns.
Hope I've explained the issue clearly. Thanks, Jason.
I have an existing table which has about 70 columns with 3 million rows in it. I was asked to add additional 50 new columns into the table. I have tried to add them in through the Enterprise manager design table but experiencing some problems. The adding process seemed never going to be end. Is there any good efficient way to do it??? I appreciate the help!
I am stuck at a problem, not sure on how to go about writing a query that will return as a percentage the number of fields in a row that are null.
For instance, a row from my table: Row1 : field1 field2 field3
If field3 is empty or null, my query should return 67%.
So far I have gotten the number of fields: select count(1) from information_schema.columns where table_name='myTable'
I could loop through the fields but I am sure there is a simpler way of doing it, I have seen something simpler in the past with some builtin SQL functions. I am using MS SQL 2005.
I have some columns of data in SQL server that are of NVARCHAR(420)format but they are dates. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. I want tobe able to convert them to our accounting system format which isYYYYMMDD. I know the format is strange but it will make things easierin the long run if all of the dates are the same when working betweenthe 2 different databases. Basically, I need to take a look at theyear portion (with a SUBSTRING function maybe) to see if it is greaterthan 50 (there will not be any dates that are less than 1950) and ifit is concatenate 19 with it (ex. 65 = 1965). Then, concatenate themonth and day from the rest to form the date we need in NUMERIC(8).So, a date of January 17, 2003 (currently in the format of 17/01/03)would become 20030117. In VB, the function I would write is somethinglike the following:/*Dim sCurrentDate as StringDim sMon as stringDim sDay as StringDim sYear as StringDim sNewDate as StringsCurrentDate = "17/01/03"sMon = Mid(sCurrentDate, 4, 2)sDay = Mid(sCurrentDate, 1, 2)sYear = Mid(sCurrentDate, 7, 2)If sYear < 50 ThensYear = "20" & sYearElseIf sYear > 50 ThensYear = "19" & sYearEnd ifsNewDate = sYear & sMon & sDay*/I was thinking of doing this in a Stored Procedure but am really rustywith SQL (it's been since college).The datatype would end up being NUMERIC(8). How I would write it if Inew how to write it would be: grab the column name prior to theprocedure, create a temp column, format the values, place them intothe temp column, delete the old column, and then rename the tempcolumn to the name of the column that I grabbed in the beginning ofthe procedure. Most likely this is the only way to do it but I have noidea how to go about it.
If I group by ColA with the select statement as follows:
SELECT ColA, MAX(ColB), FROM Tabl1 GROUP BY ColA If for example for a1 the MAX(ColB) is b2, THEN I would like to include ColC in the select statement such that for a1 the resulting row would be:
While working with a vast variety of support projects, i find a sql design where all the fields in a single form (say about 100 fields which are dump data as they are not related to any reports and searching criteria) are dumped in a sql database column in a XML format. See below an example
I have the following result set but I want to stack or transpose the 3 fields into a single column. I may add more fields later, but right now I want to know what's the best and simplest way.

A: Id Reason Amount Subject RecordNo 1 Gift 100 first 11 2 Gift Reason 200 second 12 3 Gift Reason 100 first 11
The result that I want is :
Reason Amount Subject ALL 200 first i used the following query
select case when Grouping(B.Subject) <> '' then 'ALL' else B.Subject End as Subject , case when Grouping(B.reason) <> '' then 'ALL' else B.Reason END as Reason, SUM(B.amount) as amount from B where B.RecordNo = 11 group by grouping sets (B.Reason,B.Subject)
but it's giving me 3 rows in return.
I want only one summation row. How can i get that?
This is not really a question, maybe a start of discussion if this could be a feature in coming versions...
Let's say I have a table like this: id text1 text2 int varchar varchar
1 abc ghi 2 abc ghi 3 def ghi
and I want to query using group by, I would write SELECT text1, text2 FROM table GROUP BY text1, text2
This is not too bad, but imagine I got several columns of text I need to query, then I need to put them in both places, SELECT and GROUP BY. If I do use functions like SUBSTRING or concatenation on the columns, I need to repeat these in the GROUP BY as well.
It would be nice if I could say "GROUP BY id", and since id is unique on the table it is obvious that all columns taken from this table are already grouped and can be queried without having to have them in group as well. For functions this is of course only possible if all parts only refer to columns from this table, or absolute entries, like LEFT(varchar ,3) or int+1 or such.
With this example, the benefit is not visible: if I added the id to the GROUP BY, I get every single row of course. GROUP on unique is useless... It does make sense if you query another table and join in this one as a lookup, and the id gets "multiple" this way.
As I said, just an idea to make the GROUP BY section more transparent and avoid repeating sections!
I have the following 2 fields that are sourced from an Excel spreadsheet
DocNumber - a 10 digit number PostingRow - a number between 1 and 999
I would like to produce a new column that is a concatenation of these two fields, but the PostingRow needs to be a 3 digit number eg. 1000256153-001 ....
But the problem i have is i need to filter the records based on Date joined, but i cant include the DateJoined in my Group by clause ( i am making the Groupby As View) and since my view dont contain the date i couldnt use that as view to use in my application.
