How to choose max of each groups formed by Row_number

  • I have a below table as:

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Test') IS NOt NULL

    DROP TABLe #Test

    --===== Create the test table with

    create table #Test([Year] float,

    Age Int,

    )

    INSERT INTO #Test

    ([Year], Age)

    SELECT 2015, 25 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2015,26 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2015,27 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2015,28 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2015,29 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2014,30 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2014,31 UNION ALL

    SELECT 2014,32

    I queried below to get additional column

    Select *,row_number() over(partition by [Year] order by Age) as RN from #Test as

    YearAgeRN

    2014301

    2014312

    2014323

    2015251

    2015262

    2015273

    2015284

    2015295

    i want one more addtional column (Desired Output) with max of RN in each group as below"

    YearAgeRNDesired output

    20152515

    20152625

    20152735

    20152845

    20152955

    20143013

    20143123

    20143233

    Any help?

  • Here's one way:

    with rows

    as ( select * ,

    row_number() over ( partition by [Year] order by Age ) as RN

    from #Test

    )

    select rows.Year ,

    rows.Age ,

    max(rows2.RN)

    from rows

    join rows rows2 on rows2.Year = rows.Year

    group by rows.Year ,

    rows.Age;

  • The easiest way is to simply reverse the order of your ROW_NUMBER... Just sort in DESC order instead of ASC...

    I can't see how. Gives this

    How about this:

    with basedata as (

    select

    [Year],

    Age,

    row_number() over(partition by [Year] order by Age) as RN

    from

    #Test

    )

    select

    [Year],

    Age,

    RN,

    max(RN) over (partition by [Year]) as MaxRN

    from

    basedata

    order by

    [Year] desc,

    Age asc;

  • This query can be greatly simplified if you look at it with a different perspective. Instead of the MAX row number within each group, you want a COUNT within each group. Since the row numbers are by definition sequential and they start at 1, the MAX row number and the COUNT will always be the same.

    SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [Year] ORDER BY Age) AS rn,

    COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY [Year]) AS cnt

    FROM #Test

    ORDER BY [Year] DESC, Age

    As far as I can tell, this has essentially the same query plan as Lynn's much more complicated query.

  • You're right Phil... I looked at the question too fast and didn't pay close enough attention to the desired output. Mia Culpa...

    Complicated??? Looks quite simple and readable to me.
