Stepped table not sorting - reporting-services

I'm trying to create a stepped table report using SQL report builder 3.0. The stepped report contains Groups/devices/users along with associated totals for each group/device/user.
I want the entire report to be sorted by these totals along with each individual step sorted this way also.
Currently users are sorted by their totals, but not devices or groups.
Is there a way to sort the other steps?

You can just do this in SQL using some nested queries. Let's assume you have the following tables: Transaction, User, Device, and Group. The transaction table records the transactions of the User on a Device and has an Amount field to sum. A user belongs to a Group.
So you need to sum the Amount for the User, for the Groups and for the Devices used within a Group which will give you SQL that looks like this:
SELECT G.Description AS [Group], D.Description AS Device, U.Description AS UserName, MAX(GT.GroupTotal) AS GroupTotal, MAX(GDT.GroupDeviceTotal) AS GroupDeviceTotal, SUM(T.Amount) AS UserTotal
FROM Transaction AS T
INNER JOIN User AS U ON L.UserId = F.UserId
INNER JOIN Group AS G ON G.GroupId = L.GroupId
INNER JOIN Device AS D ON T.DeviceId = L.DeviceId
INNER JOIN
(SELECT GroupId, SUM(Amount) AS GroupTotal
FROM Transaction
INNER JOIN User ON User.UserId = Transaction.UserId
WHERE (Transaction.TxDate >= '2011-01-01')
GROUP BY User.GroupId) AS GT ON GT.GroupId = U.GroupId
INNER JOIN
(SELECT GroupId, DeviceId, SUM(Amount) AS GroupDeviceTotal
FROM Transaction
INNER JOIN User ON User.UserId = Transaction.UserId
WHERE (TxDate >= '2011-01-01')
GROUP BY GroupId, DeviceId) AS GDT ON GDT.GroupId = U.GroupId AND GDT.DeviceId = T.DeviceId
WHERE (T.TxDate >= '2011-01-01')
GROUP BY G.GroupId, D.DeviceId, U.UserId
ORDER BY GroupTotal DESC, GroupDeviceTotal DESC, UserTotal DESC
Note that the where clause you use has to be the same in the main query and each nested query (this is the "WHERE (T.TxDate >= '2011-01-01')" bit).

You can try going to the Row/Column groups area... then for each group you have, double click the group, select "Sorting" and then add as many sorting fields as you need for the info contained at that group level.
If you have other sorts applied on the data... such as to the tablix/matrix, sometimes SSRS can get confused, so If my suggestion does help you with the effect you're going for but there are some issues, try removing all other sorting you've applied to the data elsewhere in the report besides on those groups... And I would start with the innermost and work out, trying not to repeat a field that is in a lower group's data. (if that makes sense).
edit:
So, let's say we have a report for a vet's office that shows client information, and we want to group by personID, petID and visitID. The tablix as a whole would be sorted by the person's name (or last name, then first name... or whatever). Then your first group would group on the personID and be sorted by the petName. The second, lower group would group on the petID and be sorted by the visitDate. The third level would group on the visitID, and... this doesn't really need to be sorted unless by visitTime if its not included in visitDate.

Mysql count same values and group by max

I write a report system so users can report any content by choosing some specific reasons.
I have reports table and one of the columns named "reason" it is enum.
I'm trying to list reported posts on moderation page, according to the column (reason) content with highest number in the table.
The reports table:
Reports
"violation" is 2. Others are single. So on top of post there should be written "violence".
The posts table:
Posts
What I try:
SELECT * FROM reports r
INNER JOIN posts p
ON r.contentid=p.id
WHERE r.type=:type
AND (SELECT reason, count(*)
AS NUM FROM reports
GROUP BY reason)
GROUP BY p.id
I have no any data on the moderation page, help pls.
GROUPING should have all columns that are not in the GROUP BY should be in a aggregation function
But i think you want only want an ORDER BY i9nstead of a GROUP BY
SELECT r.*,p.*,NUM
FROM reports r
INNER JOIN posts p
ON r.contentid=p.id
INNER JOIN (SELECT reason, count(*)
AS NUM FROM reports
GROUP BY reason) t1
ON t1.reason = r.reason
WHERE r.type=:type
ORDER BY NUM DESC
LIMIT 10

Wrong use of inner join function / group function?

I have the following problem with my query:
I have two tables:
Customer
Subscriber
linked together by customer.id=subscriber.customer_id
in the subscriber table, I have records with id_customer=0 (these are email records, that do not have a full customer account)
Now i want to show how many customers I have per day, and how many subscribers with id_customer, and how many subscribers WITH id_customer=0 (emailonlies i call them)
Somehow, i cannot manage to get those emailonlies.
Perhaps it has something to do with not using the right join type.
When i use left join, i get the right amount of customers, but not the right amount of emailonlies. When I use inner join i get the wrong amount of customers. Am i using the group function correctly? i think it has something to do with that.
THIS IS MY QUERY:
` SELECT DATE(c.date_register),
COUNT(DISTINCT c.id) AS newcustomers,
COUNT(DISTINCT s.customer_id) AS newsubscribedcustomers,
COUNT(DISTINCT s.subscriber_id AND s.customer_id=0) AS emailonlies
FROM customer c
LEFT JOIN subscriber s ON s.customer_id=c.id
GROUP BY DATE(c.date_register)
ORDER BY DATE(c.date_register) DESC
LIMIT 10
;`
I'm not entirely sure, but I think in DISTINCT s.subscriber_id AND s.customer_id=0, it runs the AND before the DISTINCT, so the DISTINCT only ever sees true and false.
Why don't you just take
COUNT(DISTINCT s.subscriber_id) - (COUNT(DISTINCT s.customer_id) - 1)?
(The -1 is there because DISTINCT s.customer_id will count 0.)
Got it, only risk is that i get no email onlies if there are no customers on this day, becuase of the left join. But this one works:
SELECT customers.regdatum,customers.customersqty,subscribers.emailonlies
FROM (
(SELECT DATE(c.date_register) AS regdatum,COUNT(DISTINCT c.id) AS customersqty
FROM customer c
GROUP BY DATE(c.date_register)
) AS customers
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT DATE(s.added) AS voegdatum,COUNT(DISTINCT s.subscriber_id) AS emailonlies
FROM subscriber s
WHERE s.customer_id=0
GROUP BY DATE(s.added)
) AS subscribers
ON customers.regdatum=subscribers.voegdatum
)
ORDER BY customers.regdatum DESC
;

MySQL - 3 tables, is this complex join even possible?

I have three tables: users, groups and relation.
Table users with fields: usrID, usrName, usrPass, usrPts
Table groups with fields: grpID, grpName, grpMinPts
Table relation with fields: uID, gID
User can be placed in group in two ways:
if collect group minimal number of points (users.usrPts > group.grpMinPts ORDER BY group.grpMinPts DSC LIMIT 1)
if his relation to the group is manually added in relation tables (user ID provided as uID, as well as group ID provided as gID in table named relation)
Can I create one single query, to determine for every user (or one specific), which group he belongs, but, manual relation (using relation table) should have higher priority than usrPts compared to grpMinPts? Also, I do not want to have one user shown twice (to show his real group by points, but related group also)...
Thanks in advance! :) I tried:
SELECT * FROM users LEFT JOIN (relation LEFT JOIN groups ON (relation.gID = groups.grpID) ON users.usrID = relation.uID
Using this I managed to extract specified relations (from relation table), but, I have no idea how to include user points, respecting above mentioned priority (specified first). I know how to do this in a few separated queries in php, that is simple, but I am curious, can it be done using one single query?
EDIT TO ADD:
Thanks to really educational technique using coalesce #GordonLinoff provided, I managed to make this query to work as I expected. So, here it goes:
SELECT o.usrID, o.usrName, o.usrPass, o.usrPts, t.grpID, t.grpName
FROM (
SELECT u.*, COALESCE(relationgroupid,groupid) AS thegroupid
FROM (
SELECT u.*, (
SELECT grpID
FROM groups g
WHERE u.usrPts > g.grpMinPts
ORDER BY g.grpMinPts DESC
LIMIT 1
) AS groupid, (
SELECT grpUID
FROM relation r
WHERE r.userUID = u.usrID
) AS relationgroupid
FROM users u
)u
)o
JOIN groups t ON t.grpID = o.thegroupid
Also, if you are wondering, like I did, is this approach faster or slower than doing three queries and processing in php, the answer is that this is slightly faster way. Average time of this query execution and showing results on a webpage is 14 ms. Three simple queries, processing in php and showing results on a webpage took 21 ms. Average is based on 10 cases, average execution time was, really, a constant time.
Here is an approach that uses correlated subqueries to get each of the values. It then chooses the appropriate one using the precedence rule that if the relations exist use that one, otherwise use the one from the groups table:
select u.*,
coalesce(relationgroupid, groupid) as thegroupid
from (select u.*,
(select grpid from groups g where u.usrPts > g.grpMinPts order by g.grpMinPts desc limit 1
) as groupid,
(select gid from relations r where r.userId = u.userId
) as relationgroupid
from users u
) u
Try something like this
select user.name, group.name
from group
join relation on relation.gid = group.gid
join user on user.uid = relation.uid
union
select user.name, g1.name
from group g1
join group g2 on g2.minpts > g1.minpts
join user on user.pts between g1.minpts and g2.minpts

SQL Join returns only one record

I'm writing a query whereby I'm trying to count the total number of records in report and assignment table, whiles at the same time retrieving information from the main table group. Group has a primary key id which is saved in the other tables as gid. This is the query:
SELECT `group`.`id` AS `gid`
, `group`.`name` AS `g_name`
, COUNT(`report`.`id`) AS `reports`
FROM `group`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `report` ON `report`.`gid` = `group`.`id`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `assignment` ON `assignment`.`gid` = `group`.`id`
WHERE `group`.`active` = 0
ORDER BY
`group`.`name`;
My problem is whenever I execute this only one record is returned even if theirs multiple groups.
Thanks in advance.
Well, your query is far from correct :) First of all, you should not have aggregated functions (in this case count) without a group by clause. Now, even if you have that clause the query will summarize information and you want both: the detail and a summary in the same query. I'd recommend 2 separate queries to retrieve this information, but if you want information mixed in only one query (the detail and also the "total number of records in report and assignment table") try the following query:
SELECT
`group`.id AS gid,
`group`.name AS g_name,
(SELECT COUNT(*) from report) as ReportTotalCount,
(SELECT COUNT(*) from assignment) as AssignmentTotalCount,
FROM `group`
WHERE `group`.`active` = 0
LEFT OUTER JOIN report ON report.gid = `group`.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN assignment ON assignment.gid = `group`.id
ORDER BY `group`.name;
I whish I could understand exactly what you're looking for but this might give you an idea on how to get the result you expect.
Can't see anything obvious in your query that would limit it to returning one record.
You are going to have to break it up to see where the problem is against your existing data.
So how many groups where acitive = 0, ahow many with a corresponding assignment record, etc.
maybe it will help:
SELECT
groupid,
groupname,
reports,
assignments,
FROM
(SELECT group.id, group.name, COUNT(*) AS reports from group
INNER JOIN report ON (report.gid = group.id)
WHERE group.active = 0
GROUP BY group.id ) AS ReportForGroup
CROSS JOIN
(SELECT group.id AS groupid, group.name AS groupname, COUNT(*) AS assignments from group
INNER JOIN assignmentON (assignment.gid = group.id)
WHERE group.active = 0
GROUP BY group.id ) AS AssignmentForGroup
ON (ReportForGroup.groupid = AssignmentForGroup.groupid)
ORDER BY groupname;
I'm can't check it so if LEFT JOIN returns to COUNT(*) 0 or 1. if it returns 0 just change the INNERs to LEFTs and use INNER JOIN between the two queries

join on sub query returns fails

Trying to join a table "fab_qouta.qoutatype" to at value inside a sub query "fab_status_members.statustype" but it returns nothing.
If I join the 2 tables directly in a query the result is correct.
Like this:
select statustype, takst
from
fab_status_members AS sm
join fab_quota as fq
ON fq.quotatype = sm.statustype
So I must be doing something wrong, here the sub query code, any help appreciated
select
ju.id,
name,
statustype,
takst
from jos_users AS ju
join
( SELECT sm.Members AS MemberId, MaxDate , st.statustype
FROM fab_status_type AS st
JOIN fab_status_members AS sm
ON (st.id = sm.statustype) -- tabels are joined
JOIN
( SELECT members, MAX(pr_dato) AS MaxDate -- choose members and Maxdate from
FROM fab_status_members
WHERE pr_dato <= '2011-07-01'
GROUP BY members
)
AS sq
ON (sm.members = sq.members AND sm.pr_dato = sq.MaxDate)
) as TT
ON ju.id = TT.Memberid
join fab_quota as fq
ON fq.quotatype = TT.statustype
GROUP BY id
Guess the problem is in the line: join fab_quota as fq ON fq.quotatype = TT.statustype
But I can't seem to look through it :-(
Best regards

It looks like you are joining down to the lowest combination of per member with their respective maximum pr_dato value for given date. I would pull THIS to the FIRST query position instead of being buried, then re-join it to the rest...
select STRAIGHT_JOIN
ju.id,
ju.name,
fst.statustype,
takst
from
( SELECT
members,
MAX(pr_dato) AS MaxDate
FROM
fab_status_members
WHERE
pr_dato <= '2011-07-01'
GROUP BY
members ) MaxDatePerMember
JOIN jos_users ju
on MaxDatePerMember.members = ju.ID
JOIN fab_status_members fsm
on MaxDatePerMember.members = fsm.members
AND MaxDatePerMember.MaxDate = fsm.pr_dato
JOIN fab_status_type fst
on fsm.statustype = fst.id
JOIN fab_quota as fq
on fst.statusType = fq.quotaType
I THINK I have all of what you want, and let me reiterate in simple words what I think you want. Each member can have multiple status entries (via Fab_Status_Members). You are looking for all members and what their MOST RECENT Status is as of a particular date. This is the first query.
From that, whatever users qualify, I'm joining to the user table to get their name info (first join).
Now, back to the complex part. From the first query that determined the most recent date status activity, re-join back to that same table (fab_status_members) and get the actual status code SPECIFIC to the last status date for that member (second join).
From the result of getting the correct STATUS per Member on the max date, you need to get the TYPE of status that code represented (third join to fab_status_type).
And finally, from knowing the fab_status_type, what is its quota type.
You shouldn't need the group by since the first query is grouped by the members ID and will return a single entry per person (UNLESS... its possible to have multiple status types in the same day in the fab_status_members table... unless that is a full date/time field, then you are ok)
Not sure of the "takst" column which table that comes from, but I try to completely qualify the table names (or aliases) they are coming from, buy my guess is its coming from the QuotaType table.
... EDIT from comment...
Sorry, yeah, FQ for the last join. As for it not returning any rows, I would try them one at a time and see where the break is... I would start one at a time... how many from the maxdate query, then add the join to users to make sure same record count returned. Then add the FSM (re-join) for specific member / date activity, THEN into the status type... somewhere along the chain its missing, and the only thing I can think of is a miss on the status type as any member status would have to be associated with one of the users, and it should find back to itself as that's where the max date originated from. I'm GUESSING its somewhere on the join to the status type or the quota.
