t1.month)+'~'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),
t2.month) as Month,
t1.subject from #tmp_h t1
left join #tmp_h t2 on t1.name=t2.name and t1.subject=t2.subject
where t1.month<>t2.month
Actual output

My psychic abilities are failing me... could you explain what your goal is? Looks like you're trying to calculate a change in grades for a single (student,course) between two time periods.

Hi pietlinden ,

I need to find the variance between month 1 and 2

For Name Guna in month 1 70 marks in science subject

For Name Guna in month 2 40 marks in science subject

so variance about month 1 and 2 is

Guna301~2science

so variance about month 2 and 1 is

Guna-302~1science

here is issue

For Name Kumar in month 1 80 marks in maths subject

For Name Kumar in month 2 have no maths subject

but i need to calculate 2 month marks as 0

80-0 =80 Marks

so variance about month 1 and 2 is

Kumar 80 1~2Maths

Can you understand now ..I need to find the variance between the month of marks

Thanks,

Chandrahasan S

You have used left join for table x and you are applying the WHERE clause.

Even your query gets the data, it will not meet the WHERE clause condition, so those rows will be removed from the result.

Try with this code

WITH DATA (Name,marks,month,subject) AS

(SELECT 'Kumar',80,1,'maths' UNION

SELECT 'Guna',70,1,'science' UNION

SELECT 'Kumar',40,2,'physics' UNION

SELECT 'Kumar',70,3,'physics' UNION

SELECT 'Guna',40,2,'science')

select t1.name,ISNULL(t1.marks,0)-ISNULL(t2.marks, 0) as Marks,

CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),ISNULL(t1.month, '')

)+'~'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),

case when t2.month is null and t1.month=2 then t1.month - 1

when t2.month is null and t1.month=1 then 2 else t2.month end) as Month,

t1.subject from DATA t1

left join DATA t2 on t1.name=t2.name and t1.subject=t2.subject

AND t1.month<>t2.month

HI parulprabu ,

Thanks for your reply .

Almost correct output

nameMarksMonthsubject

Kumar801~0maths

Guna301~2science

Kumar502~0physics

Guna-302~1science

BUT, Is possible to show the actual month 1~2 instead of 1~0

I have to validate with Month column after words

Thanks,

ParulPrabu SSCrazy Points: 2271 More actions · Answer 6

Assuming that, month 2 is having data and 1 is not having data for 2~1

and month 1 is having data and month 2 is not having data for 1~2

Hi,

I have edited the query based on the assumption mentioned above.

s.chandrahasan SSC Eights! Points: 858 More actions · Answer 8

Hi parulprabu ,

Thanks for reply again ,

Actually in month column does not has in order 1,2,3,4...

It may be some time month column M1,M2,M3,M4 .etc

so case condition not suitable for this

case when t2.month is null and t1.month=2 then t1.month - 1

when t2.month is null and t1.month=1 then 2 else t2.month end)

Is possible without hard coding ?

For your data containing 2 months

;WITH

m (Month1, Month2)

AS (

SELECT MIN(Month), MAX(Month)

FROM #tmp_h

UNION ALL

SELECT MAX(Month),MIN(Month)

FROM #tmp_h

),

n (name, subject)

AS (

SELECT name, subject

FROM #tmp_h

GROUP BY name, subject

)

SELECTn.name,

t1.Marks-ISNULL(t2.Marks,0) AS [Marks],

CAST(m.Month1 as varchar(2))+'~'+CAST(m.Month2 as varchar(2)) AS [month],

n.subject

FROMn

CROSS JOIN m

JOIN #tmp_h t1 ON t1.name = n.name AND t1.subject = n.subject AND t1.Month = m.Month1

LEFT JOIN #tmp_h t2 ON t2.name = n.name AND t2.subject = n.subject AND t2.Month = m.Month2

ORDERBY n.name ASC, m.Month1 ASC

How many months are you catering for? and are they consecutive?
