Background
I have a database that hold records of all assets in an office. Each asset have a condition, a category name and an age.
A ConditionID can be;
In use
Spare
In Circulation
CategoryID are;
Phone
PC
Laptop
and Age is just a field called AquiredDate which holds records like;
2009-04-24 15:07:51.257
Example
I've created an example of the inputs of the query to explain better what I need if possible.
NB.
Inputs are in Orange in the above example.
I've split the example into two separate queries.
Count would be the output
Question
Is this type of query and result set possible using SQL alone? And if so where do I start? Would it be easier to use Ms Excel also?
Yes it is possible, for your orange fields you can just e.g.
where CategoryID ='Phone' and ConditionID in ('In use', 'In Circulation')
For the yellow one you could do a datediff of days of accuired date to now and divide it by 365 and floor that value, to get the last one (6+ years category) you need to take the minimum of 5 and the calculated value so you get 0 for all between 0-1 year old etc. until 5 which has everything above 6 years.
When you group by that calculated column and select the additional the count you get what you desire.

I am new to SQL and Stack overflow and have a question about SQL Server syntax. i have searched online but I am not finding what I need and I would appreciate your assistance in this matter.
I have data in a source table for meal orders (each with a specific ID (e.g. 12345C) and items of each order (e.g. sandwich, drink, chips), each with an associated number starting with 1. For instance, the sandwich would have an item number of 1, the chips would be item # 2, and the drink would be item # 3 for the same orderID 12345C. The prior example would therefore have 3 rows of data in the source table for orderID 12345C.
My questions are these:
how do I use a SQL expression to determine the number of items per each order (e.g. 3 for the above example, which is also the maximum value for item number for each orderID)
and then add all of these items per order across hundreds of orders per day to determine the daily total number of items ordered.
So, if I had 3 orders in one day - one with 2 items, the second with 3 items, and the third with 4 items, I would like my final number to be 9.
This number is for use in a Sisense dashboard that allows SQL syntax in the field definition. Thank you for your help!
It is a bit difficult to explain but I am not able to use a query from a table because I am working with a dashboard in Sisense so I am adding fields in a pivot display and one of the fields I would like to include is the total count of order items per day (across several dozen orderIDs).
Here is an example of the data in the table: from the example I would like the final answer for orderID 1787588 to be 3 (there are 3 items within the order).
I have a following employee table value as below :
name | cost
john | 1000
john | -1000
john | 5000
when we add the cost column total will be 5000.
I need to print only the 3rd row in BIRT report, since the 1st and 2nd row get cancelled out each other.
I'm stuck at filtering the table for above scenario.
Couldn't you just solve this using SQL like
select name, sum(cost)
from employee
group by name
order by name
?
Or do you just want to exclude two rows if they have exactly the same cost, but with different signs? Note that this is actually something different, take for example the three rows [ john|1, john|2, john|-3 ]? In this case, a pure SQL solution can be achieved using the SQL analytic functions (at least if you are using Oracle).
Elaborate your question. Its not clear if these are columns or rows.
If These are columns:
Create a computed column in your dataset
In Expression builder of that column add/sub values using dataSetRow['col1'] and dataSetRow['col2']
Add only that computed column to your table.
If these are rows
Select rows you don't want to print
Go to properties tab
Find Visibility property and click on it
Check Hide Element option
I want something strange here. I've table names as EMP_INFO which contains few details of an employee (i.e. Name,Designation, JOIN_FROM, JOIN_TO). I am trying to figure out term for each employee on yearly basis. I've below types of data

Basically what i need is I have date range in my report and let's say From: "01-Jun-11" To "31-Dec-13". From above record set report should retrieve all records as all records contains this both dates.
I have tried by using BETWEEN syntax but i believe it will not work.
If anyone can help me in this than it would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.. And one more thing if this details is not enough to understand than let me know i will add more in details.
Modified
Query which I tried
SELECT EI.*
FROM EMP_INFO EI,
(SELECT
TO_DATE('01-JUN-2011','DD-MON-YYYY') A,
TO_DATE('31-DEC-2013','DD-MON-YYYY') B FROM DUAL) X
WHERE
(EI.JOIN_FROM IS NOT NULL AND EI.JOIN_TO IS NOT NULL)
AND (
X.A BETWEEN EI.JOIN_FROM AND EI.JOIN_TO
AND X.B BETWEEN EI.JOIN_FROM AND EI.JOIN_TO
OR (EI.JOIN_FROM >= X.B AND EI.JOIN_TO <=X.A) )
Modified Added column (Query Result) on above table which contains result for each record.
So you simply want all records where the join time is in the given time range? That would be:
SELECT *
FROM EMP_INFO
WHERE JOIN_FROM BETWEEN
TO_DATE('01-JUN-2011','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN') AND
TO_DATE('31-DEC-2013','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN')
AND JOIN_TO BETWEEN
TO_DATE('01-JUN-2011','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN') AND
TO_DATE('31-DEC-2013','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN');
EDIT: Sorry, I got it now. You are looking for all time ranges that overlap with the given range. That would be: ranges that start before and end within, ranges that start before and end after, ranges that start within and end within and ranges that start within and end after. Another way to express this is: Either the given time range start is within the other time range or the other time range start is within the given time range. Here is the according statement:
SELECT *
FROM EMP_INFO
WHERE JOIN_FROM BETWEEN
TO_DATE('01-JUN-2011','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN') AND
TO_DATE('31-DEC-2013','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN')
OR TO_DATE('01-JUN-2011','DD-MON-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN')
BETWEEN JOIN_FROM AND JOIN_TO;
And here is the SQL fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!4/b58b3/3
Convert to same format and compare. There may be a time component in the dates stored in database. Previous answer was wrong.
I have a summary report with a multiples dataset used in differents lookup, I know the lookup compare single values only, I need to compare double value in a datasets and return the value, I'm trying to using a combined source in a first parameter of lookup but I'm not sure if it will be work
dataset1
name team value
----------------
john team1 3
john team2 4
mark team1 2
jane team2 1
I want to use lookup for this dataset using name and team together to build a unique key and get the correct value like a
lookup for "john+team1" and get the value 3
Any help or idea???
Would it not be easier to compare the 2 datasets within SQL rather than trying to do it in SSRS? Temp table1 would be name etc
Write one massive query to combine all of the data, that was it's easier/ quicker to use and it can be used in one table
The problem that I have is SQL Server Reporting Services does not like Sum(First()) notation. It will only allow either Sum() or First().
The Context
I am creating a reconciliation report. ie. what sock we had a the start of a period, what was ordered and what stock we had at the end.
Dataset returns something like
Type,Product,Customer,Stock at Start(SAS), Ordered Qty, Stock At End (SAE)
Export,1,1,100,5,90
Export,1,2,100,5,90
Domestic,2,1,200,10,150
Domestic,2,2,200,20,150
Domestic,2,3,200,30,150
I group by Type, then Product and list the customers that bought that product.
I want to display the total for SAS, Ordered Qty, and SAE but if I do a Sum on the SAS or SAE I get a value of 200 and 600 for Product 1 and 2 respectively when it should have been 100 and 200 respectively.
I thought that i could do a Sum(First()) But SSRS complains that I can not have an aggregate within an aggregate.
Ideally SSRS needs a Sum(Distinct())
Solutions So Far
1. Don't show the Stock at Start and Stock At End as part of the totals.
2. Write some code directly in the report to do the calc. tried this one - didn't work as I expected.
3. Write an assembly to do the calculation. (Have not tried this one)
Edit - Problem clarification
The problem stems from the fact that this is actually two reports merged into one (as I see it). A Production Report and a sales report.
The report tried to address these criteria
the market that we sold it to (export, domestic)
how much did we have in stock,
how much was produced,
how much was sold,
who did we sell it to,
how much do we have left over.
The complicating factor is the who did we sell it to. with out that, it would have been relativly easy. But including it means that the other top line figures (stock at start and stock at end) have nothing to do with the what is sold, other than the particular product.
I had a similar issue and ended up using ROW_NUMBER in my query to provide a integer for the row value and then using SUM(IIF(myRowNumber = 1, myValue, 0)).
I'll edit this when I get to work and provide more data, but thought this might be enough to get you started. I'm curious about Adolf's solution too.
Pooh! Where's my peg?!
Have you thought about using windowing/ranking functions in the SQL for this?
This allows you to aggregate data without losing detail
e.g. Imagine for a range of values, you want the Min and Max returning, but you also wish to return the initial data (no summary of data).
Group Value Min Max
A 3 2 9
A 7 2 9
A 9 2 9
A 2 2 9
B 5 5 7
B 7 5 7
C etc..
Syntax looks odd but its just
AggregateFunctionYouWant OVER (WhatYouWantItGroupedBy, WhatYouWantItOrderedBy) as AggVal
Windowing
Ranking
you're dataset is a little weird but i think i understand where you're going.
try making the dataset return in this order:
Type, Product, SAS, SAE, Customer, Ordered Qty
what i would do is create a report with a table control. i would set up the type, product, and customer as three separate groups. i would put the sas and sae data on the same group as the product, and the quantity on the customer group. this should resemble what i believe you are trying to go for. your sas and sae should be in a first()
Write a subquery.
Ideally SSRS needs a Sum(Distinct())
Re-write your query to do this correctly.
I suspect your problem is that you're written a query that gets you the wrong results, or you have poorly designed tables. Without knowing more about what you're trying to do, I can't tell you how to fix it, but it has a bad "smell".
