Running totals question

  • Hello,

    I am trying to calculate a running total that changes on a daily basis in a view. For example:

    I need to calculate the current row - the previous row (todays gallons - minus the previous days gallons to calculate the total gallons for a given day)

    I have had a difficult time finding examples of subtraction row by row.

    I was able to calculate the running totals, but the day by day values are proving to be more difficult.

    Thanks,

    Also PS I am not sure how to post tables/code to the forum. Does anyone have instructions for doing this?

  • Heyyyyy how about that i figured out how to post like a normal person. I included a shot of the table. I would invision the first row being 12900

    2nd row: 180256-129000 = 51256

    ---Thanks

    [SELECT

    IssuedDateTime,

    [Daily Reading],

    ---====Current Day - Previous Day = Daily total

    [Daily Reading] - [Daily Reading] as DailyTotal,

    RunningTotals

    FROM z_v_RunningTotals

    WHERE (SurveyRefID = 'e984c178-120b-4eab-a562-356e76d692ed') and IssuedDateTime < '5/1/2008'

    Group By IssuedDateTime, [Daily Reading], RunningTotals

    Order By IssuedDateTime
