Hello!
I have to create a view called Customer_Age. I need to pick distinct birth year values from Customer table. Then using that I need to calculate Age as per today. And based on Age, I need to calculate Age group, Group Name etc. The data should look like:

How do I create a view which can generate this information?

As you have not provided any DDL or sample data, and your sample results do not appear to include a single reference to your customer data, I had to guess:

WITH Tally (n)
AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM
(
    VALUES
        (0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
       ,(0)
) a (n)
    CROSS JOIN
    (
        VALUES
            (0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
           ,(0)
    ) b (n))
    ,GroupInfo (StartAge, EndAge, AgeGroup, GroupName)
AS (SELECT *
    FROM
    (
        VALUES
            (0, 10, '0-10 years', 'Kids')
           ,(11, 12, '11-20 years', 'Kids')
           ,(13, 19, '11-20 years', 'Teenager')
           ,(20, 20, '11-20 years', 'Young Adult')
    ) GroupInfo (StartAge, EndAge, AgeGroup, GroupName) )
SELECT TOP (21)
       calcs.BirthYear
      ,Age = YEAR(GETDATE()) - calcs.BirthYear
      ,g.AgeGroup
      ,g.GroupName
FROM Tally
    CROSS APPLY
(SELECT BirthYear = n + 1921, Age = YEAR(GETDATE()) - n - 1921) calcs
    JOIN GroupInfo g
        ON calcs.Age
           BETWEEN g.StartAge AND g.EndAge
ORDER BY Tally.n DESC;

Hi @SSC Guru

I Just get a list of Distinct birth years from Customer table. So then based on that list I need to further calculate the other values

Select distinct Birth_year from Company.Customer

OK, you should easily be able to modify the query I provided to do that.

You need more than just year to accurately calculate age. Some people born in 2011 are 10 years old, but some are only 9 years old.

@Phil Parkin>

hi tried including it but then Calcs.Age cant be calculated.

CROSS APPLY(Select distinct Birth_year from Company.Customer) calcs
JOIN GroupInfo g
ON calcs.Age
BETWEEN g.StartAge AND g.EndAge
ORDER BY Tally.n DESC;

Try changing this part

(SELECT BirthYear = n + 1921, Age = YEAR(GETDATE()) - n - 1921) calcs

JOIN GroupInfo g

ON calcs.Age

BETWEEN g.StartAge AND g.EndAge

ORDER BY Tally.n DESC;

to this

(SELECT BirthYear = n + 1921, Age = YEAR(GETDATE()) - n - 1921) calcs
    JOIN GroupInfo g
        ON calcs.Age
           BETWEEN g.StartAge AND g.EndAge
WHERE calcs.BirthYear in (Select distinct Birth_year from Company.Customer)
ORDER BY Tally.n DESC;
