A bit of mathematics...

  • Hi all,

    I'm just doing some work on my own bank statements imported from CSV.   Two salient columns, MoneyIn (int), MoneyOut (Int).

    This is the formula I'm trying to calculate:

    ((Revenue - Outgoings) * .81) - Dividends Paid = Result

    I've been able to

    Select

    (Select Sum ([Money In]) As 'Revenue'

    from SmytheData.dbo.Transactions3)

    -

    (Select  Sum ([ Money Out]) As 'Outgoings'

    from SmytheData.dbo.Transactions3

    Where Reference not like '%Div%')

    However, I need to multiply the result by 0.81 (to allow for 19% tax), THEN subtract

    (Select  Sum ([ Money Out]) As 'Outgoings'

    from SmytheData.dbo.Transactions3

    Where Reference like '%Div%')

    TIA

  • Something like this (untested, because you did not provide DDL etc)?

    WITH Sums
    AS (SELECT Revenue = SUM([Money In])
    ,Outgoings = SUM(IIF(Reference NOT LIKE '%Div%', [Money Out], 0))
    ,Dividends = SUM(IIF(Reference LIKE '%Div%', [Money Out], 0))
    FROM SmytheData.dbo.Transactions3)
    SELECT Result = ((Sums.Revenue - Sums.Outgoings) * 0.81) - Sums.Dividends
    FROM Sums;

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

  • The result is quite correct, cheers Phil !

    Sum IIF....very nifty 🙂

  • Perfect.

    IIF makes it easy 🙂
