LAST MAX 2 DATES

  • Hi Expert,

     

    I wanted to find out last max 2 dates from tabl but unable to do so

    i tried

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1](

    [div_id] [nchar](10) NULL,

    [customerid] [nchar](10) NULL,

    [div_status] [nchar](10) NULL,

    [logdate] [date] NULL

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

     

    Insert Data:

    INSERT INTO [dbo].[Table_1]

    ([div_id]

    ,[customerid]

    ,[div_status]

    ,[logdate])

    VALUES

    ('495','-1','1','2021-02-14'),

    ('495','-1' ,'1','2021-02-14'),

    ('495','-1' ,'1','2021-02-14'),

    ('502' ,'-1', '1','2021-02-14'),

    ('513', '-1','1','2021-02-14'),

    ('538', '-1','1','2021-02-14'),

    ('545', '-1','1','2021-02-14'),

    ('563', '-1','1','2021-02-14'),

    ('577', '-1','1','2021-02-14');

    SELECT TOP(2) * FROM TABLE_1 WHERE LOGDATE<(SELECT MAX(LOGDATE) FROM TABLE_1)

     

    but i do not want to add top2 condition any other condition for previous date

  • I am not sure I understand your question. First the log dates look like they are all '2021-02-14'.

    SELECT TOP(2) * FROM TABLE_1 WHERE LOGDATE<(SELECT MAX(LOGDATE) FROM TABLE_1)

    Since all your Log Dates are '2021-02-14' there are no records less than '2021-02-14'. Therefore nothing is returned.

    SELECT TOP(2) * FROM TABLE_1 ORDER BY LOGDATE DESC

    This will get the top 2 rows but there is no guarantee as to which two are returned if the dates are the same.

    Sorry, here is input  data for last 2 max days

    INSERT INTO [dbo].[Table_1]

    ([div_id]

    ,[customerid]

    ,[div_status]

    ,[logdate])

    VALUES

    ('563', '-1','1','2021-02-13'),

    ('577', '-1','1','2021-02-12'),

    ('577', '-1','1','2021-02-10');

  • SELECT TOP(2) * FROM TABLE_1

    WHERE LOGDATE<(SELECT MAX(LOGDATE) FROM TABLE_1)

    ORDER BY LOGDATE DESC

    Returns

    ('563', '-1','1','2021-02-13'),

    ('577', '-1','1','2021-02-12'),

     

     

  • Please do not use top(2) . i can not use in my existing query ..help me with alternatives

    Please explain why TOP (2) is not to be used.

  • can not select top2 logdate along with other columns when really not required

    That is confusing.

    Based on your sample data, please provide a screenshot of the results you would like to see.

  • here is the query

     

    SELECT Div_ID,

    CustomerID,

    Div_Status,

    LogDate ,

    LogDate

    FROM ( SELECT Div_ID,

    CustomerID,

    Div_Status,

    LogDate,

    LAG(Div_Status,1,0) OVER (PARTITION BY Div_ID ORDER BY logdate) AS PreviousValue,

    LEAD (Div_Status,0,1) OVER (PARTITION BY Div_ID ORDER BY logdate) as NextValue

    FROM dbo.Table_1

    ) AS t

    WHERE (PreviousValue = 0 AND Div_Status = 1 AND NextValue = 1 ) OR

    (PreviousValue = 0 AND Div_Status = 0 AND NextValue = 1 ) OR

    (PreviousValue = 0 AND Div_Status = 1 AND NextValue = 0 ) OR

    (PreviousValue = 1 AND Div_Status = 0 AND NextValue = 0 )

     

    condition is where the Div_Status =0. it should also take previous date where the last value was 0 . You can add some sample data in order get record with previous value is 0

  • or please share me any other query which will show  max of last 2 days

  • I don't need to see your query. What we need to see are your desired results, based on the sample data provided. You seem unwilling to do this.

    Here is required  output

    ('577', '-1','1','2021-02-14');

    ('563', '-1','1','2021-02-13')

    ('563', '-1','1','2021-02-13')

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #Table_1;

    CREATE TABLE #Table_1
    (
    div_id NCHAR(10) NULL
    ,customerid NCHAR(10) NULL
    ,div_status NCHAR(10) NULL
    ,logdate DATE NULL

    INSERT #Table_1
    (
    div_id

    ,div_status

    )
    VALUES
    ('577', '-1', '1', '2021-02-14')
    ,('563', '-1', '1', '2021-02-13')
    ,('577', '-1', '1', '2021-02-12')
    ,('577', '-1', '1', '2021-02-10');

    SELECT TOP (2)
    t.div_id
    ,t.customerid
    ,t.div_status
    ,t.logdate
    FROM #Table_1 t
    ORDER BY t.logdate DESC;

    But you already know this.

    Now, will you take the time to provide DDL and sample data in a form which highlights why you cannot use TOP (2) to produce the results you need?

  • A slightly different approach:

    WITH LastTwoDates AS (
    SELECT DISTINCT TOP(2)
    LOGDATE
    FROM #TABLE_1
    WHERE LOGDATE<(SELECT MAX(LOGDATE) FROM #TABLE_1)
    ORDER BY LOGDATE DESC
    )
    SELECT t1.*
    FROM #TABLE_1 t1
    INNER JOIN LastTwoDates l2d ON l2d.LOGDATE = t1.LOGDATE
    ORDER BY div_id

    The output is the same using your test data, but the logic is a bit different.

     

  • Btw, the same can be achieved by utilizing TOP's big brother, the FETCH filtering:

    WITH LastTwoDates AS (
    SELECT DISTINCT
    LOGDATE
    FROM #TABLE_1
    ORDER BY LOGDATE DESC
    OFFSET 1 ROWS FETCH NEXT 2 ROWS ONLY
    )
    SELECT t1.*
    FROM #TABLE_1 t1
    INNER JOIN LastTwoDates l2d ON l2d.LOGDATE = t1.LOGDATE
    ORDER BY div_id

    The OFFSET 1 can eliminate the need for the subquery, since that'll remove the latest date.
