I have a table of travel expenses for analysis.
I would like to create a calculated column with a value for the maximum count of records with a certain category for each employee on any given day.
For example, if the category being reviewed is "dinner", we would like to know what is the maximum number of dinner transactions charged on any given day.
The following custom expression was able to count how many dinner expenses per employee:
count(If([Expense Type]="Dinner",[Expense Type],null)) over ([Employee])
But when trying to get the max count over days, I cant seem to get it to work. Here is the expression used:
Max(count(If([Expense Type]="Dinner",[Expense Type],null)) over ([Employee])) over (Intersect([Employee],[Transaction Date]))
This seems to provide the same answer as the first expression. Any idea on how to get this code to identify the value on the date with the most expenses for each employee?
If i understand your question and comments correctly, you should be able to use intersect.
count(If([Expense Type]="Dinner",[Expense Type],null)) over (Intersect([Transaction Date],[Employee]))
You may need to cast [Transaction Date] as a date if it is an actual DateTime. Otherwise you'd get one for each unique DT.

This is probably simple. But I’m at a standstill. I am using Coldfusion 2021 on a Windows PC. I am trying to Output data that has the sum of payments made by a couple of individuals. This sum of payments is subtracted from a goal number of $425. When one of our members make a payment of say $5 dollars one day, then $20 another day, the output would total their payments to date of $25. But I want that payment to date to subtract from the static number of $425 within the output which should be a balance of $400 and so on. But I’m getting some wacky results in my balance column whenever I cfoutput my query. Anyone have any ideas that may point me in the right direction? Below is the code that I used and Below that are two images, one shows the incorrect balance column and the other one shows my desired balance column.
[![Below is the code that I used and Below that are two images, one shows the incorrect balance column and the other one shows my desired balance column.]
Because you have a hard-coded activityCost and activityDeposit (or obtained from elsewhere), there's no need to send them to the database at all. Just get the SUM() of the payments, then in your single-row-per-group output, do the math there, like:
#activityCost - activityDeposit - expense.balance#
And expense query's "balance" column, you might rename it after removing the unnecessary values to just "payments" since that's really what you're grabbing from the database.
Your queries are more complicated than necessary. This will get your data:
select fname, lname, sum(buspayamount) as AmountPaid
from name join bustrip on name.foiid = bustrip.busfoiid
where whatever, maybe a date range
group by fname, lname
This will display it:
<table>
<tr> table headers go here
</tr>
<cfoutput query = "nameofquery">
<tr>
<td> #fname# #lname#</td>
<td>$#AmountPaid#</td>
<td>$425-#AmountPaid#</td>

I'm trying to make a sum iif function which checks based on an employee's hire date and the ending pay period date whether they are part of the payroll period. So my idea was sum(iif([table1].[hiredate]<=[table2].[ppend],1,0))
While it works well for some, for some employees the number it gives is ridiculous. To give you an idea, there are 200 records for ppend, but it returns for some employees especially those who are well before the earliest ppend date, a number of 400 upward to 450. I'm also attempting to have it compare relative to the current date as well so I've used sum(iif(table1.hiredate<=table2.ppend<=date(),1,0)) but it largely leads to the same result. Could anybody help. Perhaps there is a factor I've neglected.
For table 1 the column data is in this order: employee ID, name, hire date and table 2 is payroll date, pp beg, pp end.
Generate a query to count and display the number of full time and number of part time employees, the total pay of all fulltime employees and the total pay of all the part time employees.
Workings:
So I have the fields Status and Total Pay. I added the field Status and the field Status again which is a Count but it is hidden. I then added a new field called "Number of Each Status Type". I then referenced it to Status and gruped it by count.
This gave the desired first two rows of the image.
I am not sure on how to get the third though. How would I get the Total Pay by Status. Any help will be appreicated.
It has look like this
What I have for Query
When trying to manipulate and display date from ONE table, I am having difficulty coding it correctly.
I need to, from the same table, find the amount of Services done per day (Which has been done, based on the Count of ServiceId). I then need to find the OverallCharge (done) and find the min, max and avg of these overallCharge (s) per day (BasicCharge + AdditionalPartsCharge + AdditionalLabourCharge)
I need to display these charges per ServiceDate in the table
My draft is the following but is telling me that ServiceId is not part of an aggregate function.
SELECT Service.ServiceDate, Service.NumServices , Min(OverallCharge) AS MinOverallCharge, Max(OverallCharge) AS MaxOverallCharge, Avg(OverallCharge) AS AverageOverallCharge
FROM (SELECT Service.ServiceId, Sum([BasicCharges]+[AdditionalLabourCharges]+[AdditionalPartCharges]) AS OverallCharge, Service.ServiceDate, Count (Service.ServiceId) AS NumServices
FROM Service
GROUP BY Service.ServiceDate, NumServices, MinOverallCharge, MaxOverallCharge, AvgerageOverallCharge);
Thanks
I have several rows in a table, each containing a start date and an end date. The user has a checkbox for each month of the year. I need to determine which rows contain a date range that includes any of the user's chosen months.
It's easy to check the start & end months by, for example, MONTH(start_date) IN ($month_list), but this approach won't match any months between the two dates.
So I suppose what I'm asking is: is there a way of obtaining the inclusive months from a date range purely in SQL?
I assume you would want to include data rows where the date range spans or intersects with the selected periods - in which case, I'd shove the user selected periods into a table and do a fuzzy join, something like.....
SELECT DISTINCT at.*
FROM a_table at, user_periods up
WHERE at.start_date<=up.end_date
AND at.end_date>=up.start_date
AND up.trans_id=$SOME_VAR
(the trans_id just allows the table to be used for multiple operations)
To minimise the effort here, the user_periods table should have an index on start_date and end_date, and similar for a_table.
Can something like this help?
WHERE
MONTH(start_date) < MONTH_YOU_ARE_CHECKING and
MONTH() > MONTH_YOU_ARE_CHECKING
If you need to check all at once you can do a list of all the months and after delete from the list the month that the user choose, and after compare against the list. It will be better with a pseudocode example :)
MONTHS = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
USER_SELECTED_MONTHS= 1,6,8,9,12
LIST_TO CHECK = 2,3,4,5,7,10,11
so, now you can do:
MONTH(start_date) NOT IN (2,3,4,5,7,10,11)
What do you think, could it help you?
