yes, all my output data can be text. any help please
I was hoping you would say no. It is much easier to do date math with actual dates.
I know this isn't a complete solution but here is a way to get most of it by using a tally table. You can read about tally tables here. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/62867/[/url]
if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#company') is not null
drop table #company
create table #company
(
Name varchar(20),
DaysInLate int
)
insert #company
select 'microsoft' as Name, 15 as daysinlate union all
select 'nokia' as name, 10 as daysinlate union all
select 'Google' as name, 13 as daysinlate
if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#data') is not null
drop table #data
create table #data
(
Name varchar(20),
DataReceived datetime,
RecordsCount int
)
insert #data
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-01' as datareceived, 1000 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-02' as datareceived, 1001 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-03' as datareceived, 1002 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-04' as datareceived, 1003 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-05' as datareceived, 1005 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-06' as datareceived, 1005 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-07' as datareceived, 1006 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-08' as datareceived, 1007 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-09' as datareceived, 1004 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-10' as datareceived, 1033 as recordscount union all
select 'microsoft' as Name, '2013-08-11' as datareceived, 1020 as recordscount;
;
with MyDates as
(
select N, DATEADD(DAY, N - 1, '2013-08-01') as MyDate
from tally t
where t.N <= 31
)
select *, case when DataReceived IS not null then DataReceived else (select top 1 DATEADD(DAY, c.DaysInLate, md.MyDate) from #data d2 join #company c on d2.Name = c.Name where c.Name = 'microsoft') end as MyNewValue
from MyDates md
left join #data d on d.DataReceived = md.MyDate
