I am trying to calculate each distinct category share of total sales. However, my calculations end up with adding the share of sales of each category to 1. I've tried both:
[Sales]/Total([Sales] for [Category])
and
CASE WHEN [Category] in ('X','Y','Z')
THEN PERCENTAGE Sales FOR [Category]
ELSE NULL END
Any advice?
BR
Percentage([Sales]) or Percentage([Sales] for report) should both work.
Sounds like the scope for the total needs to be defined
You can try "For report" and that will probably work
Try this:
[Sales]/Total([Sales] for report)

I'm a non profit lawyer trying to set up a SQL Server database for my agency. The issue I'm having is query based: I need a simple query that will aggregate the total number of rows on a table, not the sum of the cell contents.
I working with 4 columns of I to: attorney's name, client name, trial date and remedy (the last 2 are date and dollar amount, so integers].
*** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS***
SELECT TOP 100
[attorney]
,[client]
,[trial_date]
,[remedy]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
I'm trying to find a way (script, batch file, etc) that will populate a total number of cases by month (according to trial date) total number of clients, and sum the remedy column.
Sorry for the vagueness. There are privilege rules in place. Hope that helps clarify.
Thanks
Assuming that your case history spans years, not just months, try this:
SELECT
,YEAR([trial_date]) AS [Year]
,MONTH([trial_date]) AS [Month]
,COUNT(1) AS [Trial_Count]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
GROUP BY YEAR([trial_date]), MONTH([trial_date])
If you want to separate this by attorney, you would need to add that column to the SELECT list, as well as the GROUP BY clause, as such:
SELECT
[attorney]
,YEAR([trial_date]) AS [Year]
,MONTH([trial_date]) AS [Month]
,COUNT(1) AS [Trial_Count]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
GROUP BY [attorney], YEAR([trial_date]), MONTH([trial_date])
This is a very general answer to a very general question. If you want me to be more specific, I'm going to have to understand your goal a little better. Hope it helps.
There are many accountants and each of them has jobs (paid by the hour) and I need to get the accountant name of every accountant who has an average job cost higher than the overall average of job costs. How do I do this?
SELECT Accountant_Name, AVG(job_cost) as 'Average'
FROM job_view
WHERE Average > (SELECT AVG (job_cost) AS AV
FROM job_view)
GROUP BY Accountant_Name;
Everything needed is in a view named the job_view. The above code is not working any help on modifications would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This should do it for you:
SELECT Accountant_Name
, AVG(Job_Cost) as 'Average'
FROM Job_View
GROUP BY Accountant_Name
HAVING AVG(Job_Cost) > (SELECT AVG(Job_Cost) FROM Job_View)
As per your comment, the error you're getting at WHERE Average > is because the alias Average is not visible in a WHERE clause and usually requires you to put the entire contents of the column just as you defined it in the SELECT part.
But because in the SELECT part the Average column is a aggregate function, these can only go lower in the HAVING section, because HAVING handles filtering of aggregate conditions.
Why all this? Because there are rules for order of execution of statements in a query, as explained here.
You'll still need to Group by Accountant_Name
SELECT Accountant_Name, AVG(job_cost) as 'Average'
FROM job_view
GROUP BY Accountant_Name
Having AVG(job_cost) > (SELECT AVG (job_cost) FROM job_view);
I'm using a SQL Server 2008R2 Database and SSRS Report Builder 3.0
Trying to compute the sum of the amount owed for each order id (need to show the itemids)...but when I do, the amount owed is showing 400 (instead of 200 - line 4, 100 instead of 50 in line 7, line 9 is correct. As a result the Total line is way off)
=Sum(Fields!owe.Value)
The report is grouped by the campus.
I understand that ssrs is probably not the best place to do this computation but I don't know how to do outside of ssrs....I tried distinct and group by so far with no results.
Below is how I need the report to show like....
Thanks in advance.
Incorrect amounts are
Another example as it should display the subtotals
I would modify the SQL to produce an extra column just for purposes of summing the Owe on an OrderId. Use the Row Number to get the first item in each order, and only supply the Owe value for that item for each order:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY OrderId ORDER BY ItemId) AS rn
FROM MyTable
WHERE (whatever filters you use)
)
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN rn=1 THEN Owe ELSE 0 END AS OrderOwe
FROM cte
ORDER BY Campus, CustomerId, OrderId, ItemId
Then simply change the expression for the "Owe" textbox in your SubTotal row to this:
=Sum(Fields!OrderOwe.Value)
And you will get the sum of the Owe per order instead of per item.
Well if your owe is always the same for each item in the group you could add a Sum/Count of the item in the group which would give you the correct results in all the cases above.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to do something - basically I'm looking for advice before I do it the long/hard way!
I have the following model associations:
Seller hasMany Invoices
Invoice hasOne Supplier
Supplier belongsTo SupplierType
Each invoice is for a certain amount and is from a certain date. I want to be able to retrieve Sellers who have spent within a certain amount in the past 'full' month for which we have data. So, I need to get the date 1 month before the most recent invoice, find the total on all invoices for that Seller since that date, and then retrieve only those where the total lies between, say, £10000 and £27000 (or whatever range the user has set).
Secondly, I want to be able to do the same thing, but with the SupplierType included. So, the user may say that they want Sellers who have spent between £1000 & £5000 from Equipment Suppliers, and between £1000 & £7000 from Meat Suppliers.
My plan here is to do an inital search for the appropriate supplier type id, and then I can filter the invoices based on whether each one is from a supplier of an appropriate type.
I'm mainly not sure whether there is a way to work out the monthly total and then filter on it in one step. Or am I going to have to do it in several steps? I looked at Virtual Fields, but I don't think they do what I need - they seem to be mainly used to combine fields from the same record - is that correct?
(Posted on behalf of the question author).
I'm posting the eventual solution here in case it helps anyone else:
SELECT seller_id FROM
(SELECT i.seller_id, SUM(price_paid) AS totalamount FROM invoices i
JOIN
(SELECT seller_id, MAX(invoice_date) AS maxdate FROM invoices) sm
ON i.seller_id = sm.seller_id
WHERE i.invoice_date > (sm.maxdate - 30) GROUP BY seller_id) t
WHERE t.totalamount BETWEEN 0 AND 1000
This can be done in a single query that will look something like:
select * from (
select seller, sum(amount) as totalamount
from invoices i join
(select seller, max(invoicedate) as maxdate from invoices group by seller) sm
on i.seller=sm.seller
and i.invoicedate>(sm.maxdate-30)
group by seller
) t where t.totalamount between 1000 and 50000
Recently I am coming across some strange tables and data.
I have a table that looks like the below image:
I would like to calculate the total hours worked and place in a new or alias column:
I would like to calculate the red header table to look like the blue table.
I am familiar with TSQL but never seen something like this and don't know where to start.
Thanks guys!
It seems like you just want to use SUM():
select userid,
sum(hrsworked) hrsworked
from yourtable
group by userid;
The SUM() function is an aggregate function that when used along with GROUP BY will get you the total hours worked for each userId
You can start with SUM and GROUP BY
select userid, sum(hrsworked) hrsworked
from TableName
group by userid
