SQL Query - Multiple Table Join With Grouping Functions that Keep Branch Structure - sql-server

Question

I have exhausted my search for a solution and would like to post my question to see if a solution exists.
I need to write a report to show the debits and credits per branch. The report needs also show if branches have had no DBs or CRs.
For simplicity I have scaled down my tables to try highlight my issue.
My first table holds my Branch Data
BranchNo BranchName
1 Main
2 Mgorogoro
3 Arusha
My second table holds all Debit Transactions
txid Narrative Amount Date BranchNo
1 Test 1 50.00 2014/11/26 1
2 Test 2 20.00 2014/11/27 3
I've written a SQL statement that gives me the results I need:-
DECLARE #get_Dates CURSOR;
DECLARE #Date VarChar(10);
DECLARE #tbl TABLE
(
DebitOutCount int,
BranchCode VarChar(250),
TxDate VarChar(10)
)
--DECLARE #tbl TABLE(Idx1 VarChar(50), Idx8 VarChar(50), Idx3 VarChar(50))
SET #get_Dates = CURSOR FOR
Select Debits_OUT.Date FROM Debits_OUT GROUP BY Debits_OUT.Date ORDER BY Debits_OUT.Date
OPEN #get_Dates;
FETCH NEXT FROM #get_Dates into #Date;
WHILE (##FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
--INSERT INTO #tbl SELECT Idx1, Idx8, Idx3 FROM SessionDailyControl WHERE Idx1 = #sessionId
INSERT INTO #tbl
SELECT
(SELECT ISNULL(SUM(DB_OUT.Amount), 0) FROM Debits_OUT AS DB_OUT WHERE B.BranchNo = DB_OUT.BranchNo AND DB_OUT.Date = #Date) AS DebitOutValue,
CAST(B.BranchNo As VarChar(10)) + ' ' + B.BranchName As [Branch Names],
#Date
From exBranches As B
FETCH NEXT FROM #get_Dates into #Date
END
CLOSE #get_Dates
DEALLOCATE #get_Dates
SELECT * FROM #tbl
The result is in the format that I need:-
DebitOutCount BranchCode TxDate
50 1 Main 2014/11/26
0 2 Mgorogoro 2014/11/26
0 3 Arusha 2014/11/26
0 1 Main 2014/11/27
0 2 Mgorogoro 2014/11/27
20 3 Arusha 2014/11/27
However, the report tools and Views cannot work with the above. I have tried Left Joins - but the problem is the result set will not keep the branch numbers for dates where there were zero transactions. For Example:-
SELECT
ISNULL(SUM(B.Amount), 0),
CAST(A.BranchNo As VarChar(10)) + ' ' + A.BranchName As [Branch Names],
B.Date
From exBranches As A
LEFT JOIN Debits_OUT AS B ON A.BranchNo = B.BranchNo
GROUP BY B.Date, A.BranchNo, A.BranchName
ORDER BY B.Date, A.BranchNo, A.BranchName
Returns:-
DB_OUT Branch Names Date
0.00 2 Mgorogoro NULL
50.00 1 Main 2014/11/26
20.00 3 Arusha 2014/11/27
In all the JOIN combinations that I try, I cannot get the branches to show ALL the branches for each date that is in the debits table.
Is there a fundamental concept that I have completely missed? I need have a query that can be run in a view that returns the same data as the cursor statement. Is this possible?

Answer 1

The idea is to generate possible combinations of Branches and dates first:
create table exBranches(
BranchNo int,
BranchName varchar(20)
)
create table Debits_OUT(
txId int,
Narrative varchar(20),
Amount decimal (6,2),
[Date] date,
BranchNo int
)
insert into exBranches values (1, 'Main'), (2, 'Mgorogoro'), (3, 'Arusha')
insert into Debits_OUT values (1, 'Test 1', 50.00, '20141126', 1), (2, 'Test 2', 20.00, '20141127', 3);
with BranchDate as(
select
b.BranchNo,
b.BranchName,
d.Date
from exBranches b
cross join (
select distinct [Date] from Debits_OUT
)d
)
select
isnull(DebitOutCount,0),
cast(b.BranchNo as varchar(10)) + ' ' + b.BranchName as BranchName,
b.Date
from BranchDate b
left join (
select
branchNo,
[Date],
sum(Amount) as DebitOutCount
from Debits_OUT
group by
BranchNo, [Date]
)d
on d.BranchNo = b.BranchNo
and d.Date = b.Date
order by b.date, b.BranchNo asc
drop table exBranches
drop table Debits_OUT

Answer 2

Try This it's works.....
select BranchName,amount,date1,BranchNo into #temp from exBranches
cross join (select distinct date1,amount from Debits_OUT)a
select isnull(t.amount,0),a.BranchName,a.date1 from #temp a
left join Debits_OUT t on t.BNo=a.BranchNo and a.date1=t.date1
order by date1
