Grouping by month with null months

  • Either of the following will return the results you want. The second is the way I would do it and it has a much better execution plan cost.

    ;with calendar as

    (select distinct calendarmonth, calendarYear, fiscalYear, fiscalMonth

    from #calendar)

    select c.calendarMonth,SUM(v.ChangeAmount)

    from calendar c

    LEFT JOIN #values v

    on c.calendarMonth = v.Month and v.FiscalYear = @fiscalYear and v.type = @typeid

    --WHERE v.FiscalYear = @fiscalYear

    -- AND v.type = @typeID

    group by c.calendarMonth, c.fiscalMonth

    order by c.fiscalMonth

    ;with calendar as

    (select calendarmonth, calendarYear, fiscalYear, fiscalMonth

    from #calendar WHERE calendarDay = 1)

    select c.calendarMonth,SUM(v.ChangeAmount)

    from calendar c

    LEFT JOIN #values v

    on c.calendarMonth = v.Month and v.FiscalYear = @fiscalYear and v.type = @typeid

    group by c.calendarMonth, c.fiscalMonth

    order by c.fiscalMonth

    I only included the first so you could easily see where you were going wrong.


    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.

  • Just move the Where clause conditions into the join conditions, should do it.

    ;with calendar as

    (select distinct calendarmonth, calendarYear, fiscalYear, fiscalMonth

    from #calendar)

    select

    c.calendarMonth,

    SUM(v.ChangeAmount)

    from calendar c

    LEFT JOIN #values v

    on c.calendarMonth = v.Month

    AND v.FiscalYear = @fiscalYear

    AND v.type = @typeID

    group by c.calendarMonth, c.fiscalMonth

    order by c.fiscalMonth
