Hi,
Hopefully someone can help.
I need the difference between LastOdo (Odometer reading) for current month subtracted from previous month.
column: lastOdo
date column: fueltrandate
table: fueltran
Thanks

something like this;

Select

SUM (CASE WHEN DATEPART(m, [FuelTranDate]) = DATEPART(m,GETDATE()) THEN LastOdo ELSE '' END)

- SUM(CASE WHEN DATEPART(m, [FuelTranDate]) = DATEPART(m, DATEADD(m, -1, GETDATE())) THEN Lastodo ELSE '' END )) as [Odo]

FROM [FPNZ].[tblFuelTran]

You can also use the LEAD or LAG functions to access the next and previous row values respectively

As Kingston said, Lag/Lead, Analytic Functions (Transact-SQL), would be a much better choice.

Without knowing your full DDL or data sample, this is complete gueswork, but:

USE DevTestDB;

GO

CREATE TABLE #fueltran (ReadingID INT IDENTITY(1,1),

OdoReading INT, --No idea what an OD reading actualyl looks like,

fueltrandate datetime2(0));

INSERT INTO #fueltran (OdoReading, fueltrandate)

VALUES (12, '20-Nov-2016'),

(15, '21-Nov-2016'),

(11, '22-Nov-2016'),

(19, '23-Nov-2016'),

(7, '24-Nov-2016');

SELECT fueltrandate,

OdoReading,

LAG(OdoReading) OVER(ORDER BY fueltrandate ASC) AS LastOdo,

OdoReading - LAG(OdoReading) OVER(ORDER BY fueltrandate ASC) AS OdoChange

FROM #fueltran;

DROP TABLE #fueltran;

In the future, would you please follow forum rules and post DDL along with sample data? Depending on what your data actually looks like, you will need to use some form of lead () or lag (). Hey, if you are not going to post DDL, why should we post DML and do all this design work for you?

I think you may have to keep track of the vehicle as well?

If you dont mind doing it the old fashion way (pre Lag() and Lead() ) here is a sample that works >

CREATE TABLE #fueltran (

vehicleID INT,

OdoReading INT,

fueltrandate datetime2(0)

);

INSERT INTO #fueltran

VALUES (1,12, '20-Nov-2016'),

(1,15, '21-Nov-2016'),

(1,20, '22-Nov-2016'),

(1,29, '23-Nov-2016'),

(1, 37, '24-Nov-2016'),

(2, 77, '21-Nov-2016'),

(2, 84, '22-Nov-2016'),

(2, 93, '23-Nov-2016')

;

WITH logCTE as

(

select row_number() over (partition by vehicleID

order by fuelTranDate ASC) as dataLogNumber

,*

from #fuelTran

)

SELECT t1.vehicleID,

t1.fuelTranDate,

t1.odoReading,

t1.odoReading-t2.odoReading as MilesSinceLastLog

FROM logCTE as t1 left join logCTE as t2

Ont1.vehicleID = t2.VehicleID

andt1.dataLogNumber= t2.dataLogNumber+1

;

DROP TABLE #fueltran;

I am also assuming that the odoReading (mileage) increases with time , we are talking about vehicle miles correct?
