SQL Server - Nested Aggregation Functions - sql-server

I want to do a nested aggregation, is this possible? SQL Server 2012 is returning an error when I try to do the following:
SELECT SUM(COUNT(memberID)) FROM table
The situation I have is the following:
I have members who have the same member ids as their dependents in the same table. I want to get the count of the the members and their dependents based on the memberID, however, I want the count in a column next to the main enrollee which is identified by another column as an e.
SELECT memberID, memberName, COUNT(memberID)
FROM table
WHERE memberRole = 'e'
The above would return 1 for all results, so I was thinking if I count the memberIds, then sum them would work but that returned an error, Am I doing something wrong? What is the best way to reach this porblem

Your original query was correct, with a slight change:
SELECT MemberID, MemberName, (SELECT COUNT(MemberID) FROM table WHERE MemberID = M.MemberID GROUP BY MemberID) AS MemberCount
FROM table M
WHERE M.MemberRole = 'E'

try this:
SELECT memberID, memberName, Sum(CNT) From
(
SELECT memberID, memberName, COUNT(memberID) CNt
FROM table
WHERE memberRole = 'e'
) t
group by memberID, memberName

SQL In Select Statement show values from the same table but different records

I have a "Students" table with two columns "UserID" and "Name".
Next I have a table named "TestResults" with three columns, UserID, TestID, and TestScore.
I would like to run a single query that shows for each User, on ONE row, their test scores, for tests that have the TestID equal to 1A or 2A.
What approach is the best, I'm wondering if Pivot is the best way or is there another that is more advisable. Thanks.
Guessing on your comment, you can use conditional aggregation with max and case to get the results on a single row:
select s.userid, s.name,
max(case when t.testid = '1a' then t.testscore end) as 1ascore,
max(case when t.testid = '2a' then t.testscore end) as 2ascore
from students s
join testresults t on s.userid = t.userid
group by s.userid, s.name
Try this -
SELECT
UserID,
TestScore
FROM
TestResults
WHERE
(TestID = 1A)
OR (TESTID = 2A)

SQL Server : return value in specific table2 column based on value in table1

I have a query that gets data from 2 tables.
Transaction table contains week_id, customer_id, upc12, sales_dollars
Products table contains upc12, column_1, column_2, column_3
I want my query to return the value in products table, based on what the customer_id is in the transaction table. customer_id = 1 should return column_1, customer_id = 2 should return column_3, etc.
SELECT
t.week_id,
customer_id,
upc12,
p.___________ sum(t.sales_dollars)
FROM
transaction t, products p
WHERE
t.upc_12 = p.upc_12
GROUP BY
t.week_id, customer_id, upc12, p.___________
Sorry if this makes no sense, but my research hasn't been very good, as I don't know how to correctly formulate my question. You probably guessed I'm new to SQL.
Thanks!
Here is one way to do it:
;WITH cte as
(
SELECT
t.week_id,
customer_id,
upc12,
CASE customer_id
WHEN 1 THEN p.Column_1
WHEN 2 THEN p.Column_2
WHEN 3 THEN p.Column_3
END As ColByCustomer,
t.sales_dollars
FROM transaction t
INNER JOIN products p on t.upc_12 = p.upc_12
)
SELECT week_id, customer_id, upc12, ColByCustomer, SUM(sales_dollars)
FROM cte
GROUP BY week_id, customer_id, upc12, ColByCustomer

Need to return all columns from a table when using GROUP BY

I have a table let's say it has four columns
Id, Name, Cell_no, Cat_id.
I need to return all columns whose count of Cat_id is greater than 1.
The group should be done on Cell_no and Name.
What i have done so far..
select Cell_no, COUNT(Cat_id)
from TableName
group by Cell_Number
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
But what i need is some thing like this.
select *
from TableName
group by Cell_Number
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
Pratik's answer is good but rather than using the IN operator (which only works for single values) you will need to JOIN back to the result set like this
SELECT t.*
FROM tableName t
INNER JOIN
(SELECT Cell_no, Name
FROM TableName
GROUP BY Cell_no , Name
HAVING COUNT(Cat_id) > 1) filter
ON t.Cell_no = filter.Cell_no AND t.Name = filter.Name
you just need to modify your query like below --
select * from tableName where (Cell_no, Name) in (
select Cell_no, Name from TableName
Group by Cell_no , Name
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
)
as asked in question you want to group by Cell_no and Name.. if so you need to change your query for group by columns and select part also.. as I have mentioned
This version requires only one pass over the data:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT a.*
,COUNT(cat_id) OVER (PARTITION BY cell_no)
AS count_cat_id_not_null
FROM TableName a)
WHERE count_cat_id_not_null > 1;

SQL Server - Insert into with select and union - duplicates being inserted

When I execute my "select union select", I get the correct number or rows (156)
Executed independently, select #1 returns 65 rows and select #2 returns 138 rows.
When I use this "select union select" with an Insert into, I get 203 rows (65+138) with duplicates.
I would like to know if it is my code structure that is causing this issue ?
INSERT INTO dpapm_MediaObjectValidation (mediaobject_id, username, checked_date, expiration_date, notified)
(SELECT FKMediaObjectId, CreatedBy,#checkdate,dateadd(ww,2,#checkdate),0
FROM dbo.gs_MediaObjectMetadata
LEFT JOIN gs_MediaObject mo
ON gs_MediaObjectMetadata.FKMediaObjectId = mo.MediaObjectId
WHERE UPPER([Description]) IN ('CAPTION','TITLE','AUTHOR','DATE PHOTO TAKEN','KEYWORDS')
AND FKMediaObjectId >=
(SELECT TOP 1 MediaObjectId
FROM dbo.gs_MediaObject
WHERE DateAdded > #lastcheck
ORDER BY MediaObjectId)
GROUP BY FKMediaObjectId, CreatedBy
HAVING count(*) < 5
UNION
SELECT FKMediaObjectId, CreatedBy,getdate(),dateadd(ww,2,getdate()),0
FROM gs_MediaObjectMetadata yt
LEFT JOIN gs_MediaObject mo
ON yt.FKMediaObjectId = mo.MediaObjectId
WHERE UPPER([Description]) = 'KEYWORDS'
AND FKMediaObjectId >=
(SELECT TOP 1 MediaObjectId
FROM dbo.gs_MediaObject
WHERE DateAdded > #lastcheck
ORDER BY MediaObjectId)
AND NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM dbo.fnSplit(Replace(yt.Value, '''', ''''''), ',') split
WHERE split.item in (SELECT KeywordEn FROM gs_Keywords) or split.item in (SELECT KeywordFr FROM gs_Keywords)
)
)
I would appreciate any clues into resolving this problem ...
Thank you !
The UNION keyword should only return distinct records between the two queries. However, if I recall correctly, this is only true if the datatypes are the same. The date variables might be throwing that off. Depending on the collation type, whitespace might be handled differently as well. You might want to do a SELECT DISTINCT on the dpapm_MediaObjectValidation table after doing your insert, but be sure to trim whitespace from both sides in your comparison. Another approach is to do your first insert, then on your second insert, forgo the UNION altogether and do a manual EXISTS check to see if the items to be inserted already exist.

SQL Server Comparing Subsequent Rows for Duplicates

I am trying to write a SQL Server query but have had no luck and was wondering if anyone may have any ideas on how to achieve my query.
What i'm trying to do:
I have a table with several columns naming the ones that i am dealing with TaskID, StatusCode, Timestamp. Now this table just holds tasks for one of our systems that run throughout the day and when something runs it gets a timestamp and the statuscode depending on the status for that task.
Sometimes what happens is the task table will be updated with a new timestamp but the statusCode will not have changed since the last update of the task so for two or more consecutive rows of a given task the statusCode can be the same. When i say consecutive rows i mean with regards to timestamp.
So example task 88 could have twenty rows at statusCode 2 after which the status code changes to something else.
Now what i am trying to do with no luck at the moment is to retrieve a list from this table of all the tasks and the statuscodes and the timestamps but in the case where i have more than one consecutive row for a task with the same statuscode i just want to take the first row with the lowest timestamp and ignore the rest of the row until the statuscode for that task changes.
To make it simpler in this case you can assume that i have a taskid which i am filtering on so i am just looking at a single task.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how i can do this or perhaps something that i coudl probably read to help me?
Thanks
Irfan.
This are a couple ways of getting what you want:
SELECT
T1.task_id,
T1.status_code,
T1.status_timestamp
FROM
My_Table T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN My_Table T2 ON
T2.task_id = T1.task_id AND
T2.status_timestamp < T1.status_timestamp
LEFT OUTER JOIN My_Table T3 ON
T3.task_id = T1.task_id AND
T3.status_timestamp < T1.status_timestamp AND
T3.status_timestamp > T2.status_timestamp
WHERE
T3.task_id IS NULL AND
(T2.status_code IS NULL OR T2.status_code <> T1.status_code)
ORDER BY
T1.status_timestamp
or
SELECT
T1.task_id,
T1.status_code,
T1.status_timestamp
FROM
My_Table T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN My_Table T2 ON
T2.task_id = T1.task_id AND
T2.status_timestamp = (
SELECT
MAX(status_timestamp)
FROM
My_Table T3
WHERE
T3.task_id = T1.task_id AND
T3.status_timestamp < T1.status_timestamp)
WHERE
(T2.status_code IS NULL OR T2.status_code <> T1.status_code)
ORDER BY
T1.status_timestamp
Both methods rely on there being no exact matches of the status_timestamp values (two rows can't have the same exact status_timestamp for a given task_id.)
Something like
select TaskID,StatusCode,Min(TimeStamp)
from table
group by TaskID,StatusCode
order by 1,2
Note that is statuscode can duplicate, you will need an additional field, but hopefully this can point you in the right direction...
Something like the following should get you in the right direction....
CREATE TABLE #T
(
TaskId INT
,StatusCode INT
,StatusTimeStamp DATETIME
)
INSERT INTO #T
SELECT 1, 1, '2009-12-01 14:20'
UNION SELECT 1, 2, '2009-12-01 16:20'
UNION SELECT 1, 2, '2009-12-02 09:15'
UNION SELECT 1, 2, '2009-12-02 12:15'
UNION SELECT 1, 3, '2009-12-02 18:15'
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT TaskId
,StatusCode
,StatusTimeStamp
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY TaskId, StatusCode ORDER BY TaskId, StatusTimeStamp DESC) AS RNUM
FROM #T
)
SELECT TaskId
,StatusCode
,StatusTimeStamp
FROM CTE
WHERE RNUM = 1
DROP TABLE #T
