Access 2010 Sum wrong result - ms-access

This is my issue.
First step.
I sum the column HH (alias SUM_Original_values) and I get 419. This result is correct. (see the pic below)
Second step.
I want take only INT values of the HH column's, and I get 417. This result is correct. (see the pic below)
Third step.
I want to create a column Global_Int_Sum_HH (416), but this value is different from Int_Sum_HH (417)
Why the results are differents ?
This is the query
SELECT
Year,
Month,
Customer,
User,
Int(Sum(HH)) AS Int_Sum_HH,
(
SELECT (int(sum(int(HH)))) AS Global_Int_Sum_HH
FROM T_Att
HAVING (((Year)="2016") AND ((month)="03") AND ((Customer)="FC"));
) AS Global_Int_Sum_HH,
Customer + Str(Global_Int_Sum_HH) AS [KEY]
FROM T_Att
GROUP BY Year, Month, Customer, User
HAVING (((Year)="2016") AND ((Month)="03") AND ((Customer)="FC"));

It looks to me like there's an inconsistency in your order of operations.
In one instance you int the sum, and in the second instance you sum the int.
SELECT
Year,
Month,
Customer,
User,
Sum(Int(HH)) AS Int_Sum_HH,
-- ^ changed order of events to match sub-query
(
-- v removed redundant int()
SELECT sum(int(HH)) AS Global_Int_Sum_HH
FROM T_Att
HAVING (((Year)="2016") AND ((month)="03") AND ((Customer)="FC"));
) AS Global_Int_Sum_HH,
Customer + Str(Global_Int_Sum_HH) AS [KEY]
FROM T_Att
GROUP BY Year, Month, Customer, User
HAVING (((Year)="2016") AND ((Month)="03") AND ((Customer)="FC"));
The above adjustment will make the "right" answer = 416 for both values. If you were to change your order of operations to both be Int(Sum(HH)), then the Global_Int_Sum_HH value would equal 419 and your Int_Sum_HH column would be 417 instead.

SSRS Sorting by Year group total

I have a tablix that has Customer as the row group and Month and Year as Column Groups. Sales amount is in the data area. I would like to sort the customers in descending order by the Year total sales.
I tried the following (psuedo code)
SELECT
Period (a CONCAT of YEAR(date) and MONTH(Date),
SUM(Amount),
Company
FROM [tables]
Group by Period and Company
ORDER BY Sum(Amount) Desc
I did it this way thinking that if I sorted in the query it would come through in the order I want, but obviously it's showing the customer with the highest single month sales first, not the highest year.
Thinking more about it, if I want the report to be able to span multiple years, then I have to figure out which Year to total on, but I'd be happy to restrict the report to a single Year (identified by a parameter).
When I try to sort the tablix or customer group on Sum(Fields!Amount.value, "xYear") I get the error that aggregates can include groups.
I switched from Tablix to Matrix and now sorting the Customer Group by SUM(Fields!Amount.Value) works.... kind of.
It sorts by the grand total as opposed to a given year, but I can live with that for now. Maybe I'll add a parameter that defaults to the current year and try to figure out how to use that to enforce the sort. I'm thinking I may have to get the total YTD sales by customer in a separate dataset (that doesn't display in the report).
You could do it two ways.. (not tested... it's midnight here...) assuming you have a parameter to select the sort year and the Period is a date - adjust to suit...
You could sort by an expression something like
=SUM(
IIF(
YEAR(Fields!Period.Value) = Parameters!pSortYear.Value,
Fields!Amount.Value,
0),
"myDataSetName")
NOte The dataset name must match your dataset name exactly (case sensitive) and be enclosed in double quotes.
Or.. what I normally do is do it in SQL
SELECT Period, Company, SUM(Amount) AS Amount
INTO #data
FROM myTable
GROUP BY Period, Company
SELECT d.*, s.SortOrder
FROM #data d
JOIN (
SELECT Company, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Amount DESC) as SortOrder
FROM #data
WHERE Period = #pSortYear
) s on d.Company = s.Company
Then in your report you can simply sort by SortOrder
This is done off he top of my head so there could be some basic errors but hopefully close enough for you to follow.

how can I calculate the SUM in 4days buckets over all dates

I have a MySQL DB where one column is the DATE and the other column is the SIGNAL. Now I would like to calculate the SUM over Signal for 4 days each.
f.e.
SUM(signal over DATE1,DATE2,DATE3,DATE4)
SUM(signal over DATE5,DATE6,DATE7,DATE8)
...
whereas Date_N = successor of DATE_N-1 but need not to be the day before
Moreless the algo should be variable in the days group. 4 ist just an example.
Can anyone here give me an advice how to perform this in MySQL?
I have found this here group by with count, maybe this could be helpful for my issue?
Thanks
Edit: One important note: My date ranges have gaps in it. you see this in the picture below, in the column count(DISTINCT(TradeDate)). It should be always 4 when I have no gaps. But I DO have gaps. But when I sort the date descending, I would like to group the dates together always 4 days, f.e. Group1: 2017-08-22 + 2017-08-21 + 2017-08-20 + 2017-08-19, Group2: 2017-08-18 + 2017-08-17+2017-08-15+2017-08-14, ...
maybe I could map the decending dateranges into a decending integer autoincrement number, then I would have a number without gaps. number1="2017-08-17" number2="2017-08-15" and so on ..
Edit2:
As I see the result from my table with this Query: I might I have double entries for one and the same date. How Can I distinct this date-doubles into only one reprensentative?
SELECT SUM(CondN1),count(id),count(DISTINCT(TradeDate)),min(TradeDate),max(TradeDate) ,min(TO_DAYS(DATE(TradeDate))),id FROM marketstat where Stockplace like '%' GROUP BY TO_DAYS(DATE(TradeDate)) DIV 4 order by TO_DAYS(DATE(TradeDate))
SUM() is a grouping function, so you need to GROUP BY something. That something should change only every four days. Let's start by grouping by one day:
SELECT SUM(signal)
FROM tableName
GROUP BY date
date should really be of type DATE, like you mentioned, not DATETIME or anything else. You could use DATE(date) to convert other date types to dates. Now we need to group by four dates:
SELECT SUM(signal)
FROM tableName
GROUP BY TO_DAYS(date) DIV 4
Note that this will create an arbitary group of four days, if you want control over that you can add a term like this:
SELECT SUM(signal)
FROM tableName
GROUP BY (TO_DAYS(date)+2) DIV 4
In the meantime and with help of KIKO I have found the solution:
I make a temp table with
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE if not EXISTS tradedatemaptmp (id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY) SELECT Tradedate AS Tradedate, CondN1, CondN2 FROM marketstat WHERE marketstat.Stockplace like 'US' GROUP BY TradeDate ORDER BY TradeDate asc;
and use instead the originate tradedate the now created id in the temp table. So I could manage that - even when I have gaps in the tradedate range, the id in the tmp table has no gaps. And with this I can DIV 4 and get the always the corresponding 4 dates together.

Generating complex sql tables

I currently have an employee logging sql table that has 3 columns
fromState: String,
toState: String,
timestamp: DateTime
fromState is either In or Out. In means employee came in and Out means employee went out. Each row can only transition from In to Out or Out to In.
I'd like to generate a temporary table in sql to keep track during a given hour (hour by hour), how many employees are there in the company. Aka, resulting table has columns HourBucket, NumEmployees.
In non-SQL code I can do this by initializing the numEmployees as 0 and go through the table row by row (sorted by timestamp) and add (employee came in) or subtract (went out) to numEmployees (bucketed by timestamp hour).
I'm clueless as how to do this in SQL. Any clues?
Use a COUNT ... GROUP BY query. Can't see what you're using toState from your description though! Also, assuming you have an employeeID field.
E.g.
SELECT fromState AS 'Status', COUNT(*) AS 'Number'
FROM StaffinBuildingTable
INNER JOIN (SELECT employeeID AS 'empID', MAX(timestamp) AS 'latest' FROM StaffinBuildingTable GROUP BY employeeID) AS LastEntry ON StaffinBuildingTable.employeeID = LastEntry.empID
GROUP BY fromState
The LastEntry subquery will produce a list of employeeIDs limited to the last timestamp for each employee.
The INNER JOIN will limit the main table to just the employeeIDs that match both sides.
The outer GROUP BY produces the count.
SELECT HOUR(SBT.timestamp) AS 'Hour', SBT.fromState AS 'Status', COUNT(*) AS 'Number'
FROM StaffinBuildingTable AS SBT
INNER JOIN (
SELECT SBIJ.employeeID AS 'empID', MAX(timestamp) AS 'latest'
FROM StaffinBuildingTable AS SBIJ
WHERE DATE(SBIJ.timestamp) = CURDATE()
GROUP BY SBIJ.employeeID) AS LastEntry ON SBT.employeeID = LastEntry.empID
GROUP BY SBT.fromState, HOUR(SBT.timestamp)
Replace CURDATE() with whatever date you are interested in.
Note this is non-optimal as it calculates the HOUR twice - once for the data and once for the group.
Again you are using the INNER JOIN to limit the number of returned row, this time to the last timestamp on a given day.
To me your description of the FromState and ToState seem the wrong way round, I'd expect to doing this based on the ToState. But assuming I'm wrong on that the following should point you in the right direction:
First, I create a "Numbers" table containing 24 rows one for each hour of the day:
create table tblHours
(Number int);
insert into tblHours values
(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),
(8),(9),(10),(11),(12),(13),(14),(15),
(16),(17),(18),(19),(20),(21),(22),(23);
Then for each date in your employee logging table, I create a row in another new table to contain your counts:
create table tblDailyHours
(
HourBucket datetime,
NumEmployees int
);
insert into tblDailyHours (HourBucket, NumEmployees)
select distinct
date_add(date(t.timeStamp), interval h.Number HOUR) as HourBucket,
0 as NumEmployees
from
tblEmployeeLogging t
CROSS JOIN tblHours h;
Then I update this table to contain all the relevant counts:
update tblDailyHours h
join
(select
h2.HourBucket,
sum(case when el.fromState = 'In' then 1 else -1 end) as cnt
from
tblDailyHours h2
join tblEmployeeLogging el on
h2.HourBucket >= el.timeStamp
group by h2.HourBucket
) cnt ON
h.HourBucket = cnt.HourBucket
set NumEmployees = cnt.cnt;
You can now retrieve the counts with
select *
from tblDailyHours
order by HourBucket;
The counts give the number on site at each of the times displayed, if you want during the hour in question, we'd need to tweak this a little.
There is a working version of this code (using not very realistic data in the logging table) here: rextester.com/DYOR23344
Original Answer (Based on a single over all count)
If you're happy to search over all rows, and want the current "head count" you can use this:
select
sum(case when t.FromState = 'In' then 1 else -1) as Heads
from
MyTable t
But if you know that there will always be no-one there at midnight, you can add a where clause to prevent it looking at more rows than it needs to:
where
date(t.timestamp) = curdate()
Again, on the assumption that the head count reaches zero at midnight, you can generalise that method to get a headcount at any time as follows:
where
date(t.timestamp) = "CENSUS DATE" AND
t.timestamp <= "CENSUS DATETIME"
Obviously you'd need to replace my quoted strings with code which returned the date and datetime of interest. If the headcount doesn't return to zero at midnight, you can achieve the same by removing the first line of the where clause.

How to return zero values if nothing was written in time interval?

I am using the Graph Reports for the select below. The MySQL database only has the active records in the database, so if no records are in the database from X hours till Y hours that select does not return anything. So in my case, I need that select return Paypal zero values as well even the no activity was in the database. And I do not understand how to use the UNION function or re-create select in order to get the zero values if nothing was recorded in the database in time interval. Could you please help?
select STR_TO_DATE ( DATE_FORMAT(`acctstarttime`,'%y-%m-%d %H'),'%y-%m-%d %H')
as '#date', count(*) as `Active Paid Accounts`
from radacct_history where `paymentmethod` = 'PayPal'
group by DATE_FORMAT(`#date`,'%y-%m-%d %H')
When I run the select the output is:
Current Output
But I need if there are no values between 2016-07-27 07:00:00 and 2016-07-28 11:00:00, then in every hour it should show zero active accounts Like that:
Needed output with no values every hour
I have created such select below , but it not put to every hour the zero value like i need. showing the big gap between the 12 Sep and 13 Sep anyway, but there should be the zero values every hour
(select STR_TO_DATE ( DATE_FORMAT(acctstarttime,'%y-%m-%d %H'),'%y-%m-%d %H')
as '#date', count(paymentmethod) as Active Paid Accounts
from radacct_history where paymentmethod <> 'PayPal'
group by DATE_FORMAT(#date,'%y-%m-%d %H'))
union ALL
(select STR_TO_DATE ( DATE_FORMAT(acctstarttime,'%y-%m-%d %H'),'%y-%m-%d %H')
as '#date', 0 as Active Paid Accounts
from radacct_history where paymentmethod <> 'PayPal'
group by DATE_FORMAT(#date,'%y-%m-%d %H')) ;
I guess, you want to return 0 if there is no matching rows in MySQL. Here is an example:
(SELECT Col1,Col2,Col3 FROM ExampleTable WHERE ID='1234')
UNION (SELECT 'Def Val' AS Col1,'none' AS Col2,'' AS Col3) LIMIT 1;
Updated the post: You are trying to retrieve data that aren't present in the table, I guess in reference to the output provided. So in this case, you have to maintain a date table to show the date that aren't in the table. Please refer to this and it's little bit tricky - SQL query that returns all dates not used in a table
You need an artificial table with all necessary time intervals. E.g. if you need daily data create a table and add all day dates e.g. start from 1970 till 2100.
Then you can use the table and LEFT JOIN your radacct_history. So for each desired interval you will have group item (group by should be based on the intervals table.

Select average value X of SQL table column while not grouping by X

For the purposes of my question, I have a database in a MySQL server with info on many taxi rides (it is comprised of two tables, history_trips and trip_info).
In history_trips, each row's useful data is comprised of a unique alphanumeric ID, ride_id, the name of the rider, rider, and the time the ride ended, finishTime as a Y-m-d string.
In trip_info, each row's useful data similarly contains ride_id and rider, but also contains an integer, value (calculated in the back end from other data).
What I need to do is create a query that can find the average of all the maximum 'values' from all riders in a given time period. The riders included in this average are only considered if they completed less than X (let's say 3) rides within the aforementioned time period.
So far, I have a query that creates a grouped table containing the name of the rider, the finishTime of their highest 'value' ride, the value of said ride, and the number of rides, num_rides, they have taken in that time period. The AVG(b.value) column, however, gives me the same values as b.value, which is unexpected. I would like to find some way to return the average of the b.value column.
SELECT a.rider, a.finishTime, b.value, AVG(b.value), COUNT(a.rider) as num_rides
FROM history_trips as a, trip_info as b
WHERE a.finishTime > 'arbitrary_start_date_str' and a.ride_id = b.ride_id
and b.value = (SELECT MAX(value)
from trip_info where rider = b.rider and ride_id = b.ride_id)
GROUP BY a.rider
HAVING COUNT(a.rider) < 3
I am a novice in SQL but have read on some other forums that when using the AVG function on a value you must also GROUP BY that value. I was wondering if there is a way around that or if I am thinking of this problem incorrectly. Thanks in advance for any advice / solutions you might have!
The following worked for me:
SELECT AVG(ridergroups.maxvalues) avgmaxvalues FROM
(SELECT MAX(trip_info.value) maxvalues FROM trip_info
INNER JOIN history_trips
ON trip_info.rideid = history_trips.ride_id
WHERE history_trips.finishTime > '2010-06-20'
GROUP BY trip_info.rider
HAVING COUNT(trip_info.rider) < 3) ridergroups;
The subquery groups the maximum values by rider after filtering by date and rider count. The containing query calculates the average of the maximum values.
