Question

Can anyone help me with query, I have table
vendorid, agreementid, sales
12001 1004 700
5291 1004 20576
7596 1004 1908
45 103 345
41 103 9087

when agreemtneid >1 then show me data when sales is the highest
vendorid agreementid sales
5291 1004 20576
41 103 9087
Any ideas ?
Thx

Answer 1

Well you could try using a CTE and ROW_NUMBER something like
;WITH Vals AS (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY AgreementID ORDER BY Sales DESC) RowID
FROM MyTable
WHERE AgreementID > 1
)
SELECT *
FROM Vals
WHERE RowID = 1
This will avoid you returning multiple records with the same sale.
If that was OK you could try something like
SELECT *
FROM MyTable mt INNER JOIN
(
SELECT AgreementID, MAX(Sales) MaxSales
FROM MyTable
WHERE AgreementID > 1
) MaxVals ON mt.AgreementID = MaxVals.AgreementID AND mt.Sales = MaxVals.MaxSales

SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES *
FROM MyTable
ORDER BY DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY agreementid ORDER BY SIGN (SIGN (agreementid - 2) + 1) * sales DESC)
Explanation
We break table MyTable into partitions by agreementid.
For each partition we construct a ranking or its rows.
If agreementid is greater than 1 ranking will be equal to ORDER BY sales DESC.
Otherwise ranking for every single row in partition will be the same: ORDER BY 0 DESC.
See how it looks like:
SELECT *
, SIGN (SIGN (agreementid - 2) + 1) * sales AS x
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY agreementid ORDER BY SIGN (SIGN (agreementid - 2) + 1) * sales DESC) AS rnk
FROM MyTable
+----------+-------------+-------+-------+-----+
| vendorid | agreementid | sales | x | rnk |
+----------|-------------|-------+-------+-----+
| 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 |
| -1 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 1 |
| -1 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 1 |
| 41 | 103 | 9087 | 9087 | 1 |
| 45 | 103 | 345 | 345 | 2 |
| 5291 | 1004 | 20576 | 20576 | 1 |
| 7596 | 1004 | 1908 | 1908 | 2 |
| 12001 | 1004 | 700 | 700 | 3 |
+----------+-------------+-------+-------+-----+
Then using TOP 1 WITH TIES construction we leave only rows where rnk equals 1.

Answer 3

you can try like this.
SELECT TOP 1 sales FROM MyTable WHERE agreemtneid > 1 ORDER BY sales DESC

Answer 4

I really do not know the business logic behind agreement_id > 1. It looks to me you want the max sales (with ties) by agreement id regardless of vendor_id.
First, lets create a simple sample database.
-- Sample table
create table #sales
(
vendor_id int,
agreement_id int,
sales_amt money
);
-- Sample data
insert into #sales values
(12001, 1004, 700),
(5291, 1004, 20576),
(7596, 1004, 1908),
(45, 103, 345),
(41, 103, 9087);
Second, let's solve this problem using a common table expression to get a result set that has each row paired with the max sales by agreement id.
The select statement just applies the business logic to filter the data to get your answer.
-- CTE = max sales for each agreement id
;
with cte_sales as
(
select
vendor_id,
agreement_id,
sales_amt,
max(sales_amt) OVER(PARTITION BY agreement_id) AS max_sales
from
#sales
)
-- Filter by your business logic
select * from cte_sales where sales_amt = max_sales and agreement_id > 1;
The screen shot below shows the exact result you wanted.
