Get the MAX value of the first price

  • Hi,

    I have the following thing:

    In my DWH I have a Table FACTTicket and a Table called DimRate, I can join it on customerID but get to much rates, so the solution:

    Jointable

    You see that the 2478063548 has 3 value:

    2005-10-01

    2012-01-01

    2018-01-01

    The ticket is on 2018-09-25.

    That means that the startdaterate will be:

    2018-01-01

  • What's the question and expected result? Don't use the title to provide info, ask a question.

  • The question is: How can I get to the closest startdaterate with customerdateticket?

    I just find out datediff but I dont think you can fixed with MIN/MAX

    select datediff(DAY, CustomerDateTicketas,StartRatedate) as diffdate, StartRatedate, CustomerDateTicket, FactKey 
    from
    [dbo].[Rates] a
    inner join [dbo].[Fact_Ticket] b
    on b.[CustomerCode] = a.Customercode

    FilterOn821Key

    The result must be here the first one because its the closest to the startRateDate.

    Other Example:

    FilterOn1370439657Key

    The result must be here the second one because its the closest to the startratedate.

     

    I hope this is better, the fact is 15mil rows big.

     

    What I need is only the values that comes closest to the startratedate with customerdateticket.

     

     

  • A CTE with ROW_NUMBER() would do it.

    With testCTE as (
    Select row_number() over (partition by factkey order by StartRateDate DESC) RN, *
    from factview
    where StartRateDate=<CustomerDateTicket)
    Select * from testCTE wehre rn=1

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • I like Matt's solution. Once you decide on ordering and know what item you want, row_number() gives you a value that you can use in the WHERE clause.

  • Depends on what you mean by "closest".  If it doesn't matter if it's over or under, you could use

    ABS(DATEDIFF(...))
