I have store procedure which return data fine and it was developed by some one else who now not in touch.
Output now looks like

Order by ID,Ord,BM_Code,LineItem,BrokerName'
Now broker Name is not coming as alphabetical order and it is the issue.
see this line at the bottom Order by ID,Ord,BM_Code,LineItem,BrokerName
When i try to change this order by like Order by ID,Ord,BM_Code,LineItem,BrokerName IN (SELECT BrokerName FROM #Brokers ORDER BY BrokerName ASC)' then getting error like clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP, OFFSET or FOR XML is also specified.
in my order by there are many columns and data is getting order by that way but i need to show broker name in alphabetical order but i am not being able. so please some one guide me how can i customize this sql.
Here i have not attached my full store procedure code because it is very large. looking for suggestion & help. Thanks
Short version
The ORDER BY is doing what is expected - ordering first by ID, then Ord, then BM_Code, then LineItem, then BrokerName.
Within ID 76187, the next field to order by is Ord - which it sorts from 30911, to 31097.
If it previously ordered by BrokerName, it was only by chance - or that Ord was ordered the same way as BrokerName.
My initial suggestion is to re-order your sort e.g., ORDER BY ID, BM_Code, LineItem, BrokerName, Ord
Longer explanation of issue
In SQL, underlying data is treated as a set and ordering doesn't matter.
For example, if you have a variable #x and you were testing IF #x IN (1,2,3,4,5) will produce the same result as IF #x in (5,4,3,2,1).
In your example, you're putting an ORDER BY into the sub-query you're checking with the IN e.g., ORDER BY ... BrokerName IN (SELECT BrokerName FROM #Brokers ORDER BY BrokerName ASC). The order of that sub-query isn't allowed, and wouldn't do anything anyway.
The only sort that matters (other than for a few things like TOP) is the final sort - when displaying the data.
That being said, even if you removed the ORDER BY in the sub-query, it wouldn't help you with your issue
The SQL is not likely to work anyway - ORDER BY needs a value - you may have needed to make it CASE WHEN BrokerName IN (...) THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
Which also won't help, as the issue is that Ord is sorted before BrokerName anyway.
UPDATE following comment
Fundamentally, the statement that provides the actual report is
SET #sql = '
Select XX.*,'''' scale,Isnull(AllowComma,''FALSE'') AllowComma,Isnull(AllowedDecimalPlace,''0'') AllowedDecimalPlace,
Isnull(AllowPercentageSign,''FALSE'') AllowPercentageSign,Isnull(CurrencySign,'''') CurrencySign,Isnull(BM_Denominator,'''') BM_Denominator
From (<a whole lot of calculations/cpode>) XX
Left Outer Join tblLiConfig ZZ
On XX.Section=ZZ.Section And XX.LineItem=ZZ.LI And ZZ.Ticker='''+#Ticker+'''
Order by ID,Ord,BM_Code,LineItem,BrokerName'
The last line on there provides the ordering of the data coming from this procedure.
To get a different order, you need to change the order of the fields shown - moving BrokerName more towards the start of the list, and Ord towards the end.
e.g.,
SET #sql = '
Select XX.*,'''' scale,Isnull(AllowComma,''FALSE'') AllowComma,Isnull(AllowedDecimalPlace,''0'') AllowedDecimalPlace,
Isnull(AllowPercentageSign,''FALSE'') AllowPercentageSign,Isnull(CurrencySign,'''') CurrencySign,Isnull(BM_Denominator,'''') BM_Denominator
From (<a whole lot of calculations/cpode>) XX
Left Outer Join tblLiConfig ZZ
On XX.Section=ZZ.Section And XX.LineItem=ZZ.LI And ZZ.Ticker='''+#Ticker+'''
Order by ID,BrokerName,BM_Code,LineItem,Ord'
The above probably sorts by BrokerName too early - but it's up to you to determine what you need.
I have two tables, EMPL which is a historical employee table to track changes in an employee's tax rate and PAYROLL which is also a historical table filled with employee pay over a number of periods.
FROM EMPL, based upon the EMPL.effect_pd <= PAYROLL.payroll_pd, only one record should be joined from EMPL to PAYROLL.
Below are the two tables, query and result set. However, I only want 1 record for each employee per pay period, which matches the relevant employee record based upon the payroll_pd and effect_pd.
(Click image to enlarge)
first of all - welcome!
You wrote "...FROM EMPL, based upon the EMPL.effect_pd <= PAYROLL.payroll_pd ..." but you start your SQL with PAYROLL and not with EMPL.
Pls test this statement first:
SELECT
E.rec_id
,E.empl_id
,E.empl_name
,E.tax_rate
,E.effect_pd
,P.rec_id
,P.payroll_pd
,P.empl_id
,P.pd_pay
FROM
empl AS E
LEFT OUTER JOIN
payroll AS P
ON E.empl_id = P.empl_id
AND E.effect_pd < P.payroll_pd
After that you get 7 records witch are uniqe.
i think, thats it.
Best regards
After 3 days of messing around with the code, I finally arrived at the solution which is:
SELECT * FROM PAYROLL p
LEFT JOIN EMPL e on p.empl_id = e.empl_id
WHERE e.rec_id = ( SELECT TOP 1 c.rec_id
FROM EMPL c
WHERE c.empl_id = p.empl_id
AND p.payroll_pd >= c.effect_pd
ORDER BY c.effect_pd DESC );
I am trying to calculate the average of a column in Tableau, except the problem is I am trying to use a single date value (based on filter) from another data source to only calculate the average where the exam date is <= the filtered date value from the other source.
Note: Parameters will not work for me here, since new date values are being added constantly to the set.
I have tried many different approaches, but the simplest was trying to use a calculated field that pulls in the filtered exam date from the other data source.
It successfully can pull the filtered date, but the formula does not work as expected. 2 versions of the calculation are below:
IF DATE(ATTR([Exam Date])) <= DATE(ATTR([Averages (Tableau Test Scores)].[Updated])) THEN AVG([Raw Score]) END
IF DATEDIFF('day', DATE(ATTR([Exam Date])), DATE(ATTR([Averages (Tableau Test Scores)].[Updated]))) > 1 THEN AVG([Raw Score]) END
Basically, I am looking for the equivalent of this in SQL Server:
SELECT AVG([Raw Score]) WHERE ExamDate <= (Filtered Exam Date)
Below a workbook that shows an example of what I am trying to accomplish. Currently it returns all blanks, likely due to the many-to-one comparison I am trying to use in my calculation.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Tableau Test Exam Workbook
I was able to solve this by using Custom SQL to join the tables together and calculate the average based on my conditions, to get the column results I wanted.
Would still be great to have this ability directly in Tableau, but whatever gets the job done.
Edit:

,COUNT([Id]) AS [Students (N)]

,CAST(AVG(RawScore) AS DECIMAL(10,2)) AS [School Mean]

,COUNT([AdjustedScore] < 70 THEN 1 END) AS [School Failures]

I couldn't download your file to test with your data, but try reversing the order of taking the average ie
average(IF DATE(ATTR([Exam Date])) <= DATE(ATTR([Averages (Tableau Test Scores)].[Updated]) then [Raw Score]) END)
as written, I believe you'll be averaging the data before returning it from the if statement, whereas you want to return the data, then average it.
I am using SQL 2008 and trying to process the data I have in a table in batches, however, there is a catch. The data is broken into groups and, as I do my processing, I have to make sure that a group will always be contained within a batch or, in other words, that the group will never be split across different batches. It's assumed that the batch size will always be much larger than the group size. Here is the setup to illustrate what I mean (the code is using Jeff Moden's data generation logic: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Data+Generation/87901)
DECLARE #NumberOfRows INT = 1000,
#StartValue INT = 1,
#EndValue INT = 500,
#Range INT
SET #Range = #EndValue - #StartValue + 1
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#SomeTestTable','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #SomeTestTable;
SELECT TOP (#NumberOfRows)
GroupID = ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) % #Range + #StartValue
INTO #SomeTestTable
FROM sys.all_columns ac1
CROSS JOIN sys.all_columns ac2
This will create a table with about 435 groups of records containing between 1 and 7 records in each. Now, let's say I want to process these records in batches of 100 records per batch. How can I make sure that my GroupID's don't get split between different batches? I am fine if each batch is not exactly 100 records, it could be a little more or a little less.
I appreciate any suggestions!
This will result in slightly smaller batches than 100 entries, it'll remove all groups that aren't entirely in the selection;
WITH cte AS (SELECT TOP 100 * FROM (
SELECT GroupID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY GroupID ORDER BY GroupID) r
FROM #SomeTestTable) a
ORDER BY GroupID, r DESC)
SELECT c1.GroupID FROM cte c1
JOIN cte c2
ON c1.GroupID = c2.GroupID
AND c2.r = 1
It'll select the groups with the lowest GroupID's, limited to 100 entries into a common table expression along with the row number, then it'll use the row number to throw away any groups that aren't entirely in the selection (row number 1 needs to be in the selection for the group to be, since the row number is ordered descending before cutting with TOP).
In my application i have a query that do multiple joins with a table position. Just like this:
SELECT *
FROM (...) as trips
join trip as t on trips.trip_id = t.trip_id
left outer join vehicle as v on v.vehicle_id = t.trip_vehicle_id
left outer join position as start on trips.start_position_id = start.position_id and start.position_vehicle_id = v.vehicle_id
left outer join position as "end" on trips.end_position_id = "end".position_id and "end".position_vehicle_id = v.vehicle_id
left outer join position as last on trips.last_position_id = last.position_id and last.position_vehicle_id = v.vehicle_id;
My table position has 35 columns(for example position_id).
When I run the query, in result should appear the table position 3 times, start, end and last. But postgres can not distinguish between, for exemplar, start.position_id, end.position_id and last.position_id. So this 3 columns are group and appear as one, position_id.
As the data from start.position_id and end.position_id are different, the column, position_id, that appear in result, it's empty.
Without having to rename all the columns, like this: start.position_id as start_position_id.
How can i get each group of data separately, for exemple, get all columns from the table 'start'. In MYSQL i can do this operation by calling fetch_fields, and give the function an alias, like 'start'.
But i can i do this in Postgres?
Best Regards,
Nuno Oliveira
My understanding is that you can't (or find it difficult to) discern between which table each column with a shared name (such as "position_id") belongs to, but only need to see one of the sets of shared columns at any one time. If that is the case, use tablename.* in your SELECT, so SELECT trips.*, start.*... would show the columns from trips and start, but no columns from other tables involved in the join.
SELECT [...,] start.* [,...] FROM [...] atable AS start [...]
