I was just wondering if there is any way to get two separate "count" totals from a table using one query? That is, using a table similar to the following I would like to retrieve each code (distinct) and show the total number of status' NOT equal to X or D, and then have an additional column that shows the total number of status' equal to X or D and the cancel date is greater than a given date (say, the last 14 days).
Table:
Code: Status Cancel_Date ----------------------------------- AAA X 2012-02-01 AAA BBB X 2012-02-01 AAA D 2012-01-01 AAA BBB BBB D 2012-02-01 BBB X 2012-01-01
Example result (based on the above data):
Code: TotalNotXorD TotalXorD ------------------------------------ AAA 2 1 BBB 1 2
TotalNotXorD: e.g.
select code, count(*) from table where status not in('X','D') group by code
TotalXorD: e.g.
select code, count(*) from table where status in('X','D') and cancel_date >= '2012-02-01' group by code
I have looked at doing subqueries etc. but I can't seem to get the results I need.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
To count the number of different values that are stored in a given column, you simply need to designate the column you pass in to the COUNT function as DISTINCT . When given a column, COUNT returns the number of values in that column. Combining this with DISTINCT returns only the number of unique (and non-NULL) values.
Yes, you can use COUNT() and DISTINCT together to display the count of only distinct rows.
The correct syntax for using COUNT(DISTINCT) is: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Column1) FROM Table; The distinct count will be based off the column in parenthesis. The result set should only be one row, an integer/number of the column you're counting distinct values of.
SELECT a.code, COALESCE(b.totalNotXorD, 0 ) totalNotXorD, COALESCE(c.totalXorD, 0 ) totalXorD, FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Code FROM tableName) a LEFT JOIN ( select code, count(*) totalNotXorD from table where status not in('X','D') group by code ) b ON a.code = b.code LEFT JOIN ( select code, count(*) totalXorD from table where status in('X','D') and cancel_date >= '2012-02-01' group by code ) c ON a.code = c.code
or simply doing CASE
SELECT Code, SUM(CASE WHEN status NOT IN ('X','D') OR status IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) TotalNotXorD, SUM(CASE WHEN status IN ('X','D') AND cancel_date >= '2012-02-01' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) TotalXorD FROM tableName GROUP BY Code
