Query calculation over a partition

    Thanks again for sharing. Modern T-SQL gives us many ways to skin a cat.

    Would be interesting to know which method you choose, there is up to 25 times difference in the execution time between these methods.

  • Apologies for the delay, been very busy. I had to solve other measure problems with this fact table. I came back to this and used the dry run query. Query executes in 3 minutes with many other calculations 😀

  • This returns 3 rows from the base table when doing the except both directions.

    ;WITH CUSTOMERS_SALE AS

    (

    SELECT

    SSF.CUST_ID

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG SSF

    WHERE SSF.SALE_VAL IS NOT NULL

    GROUP BY SSF.CUST_ID

    )

    SELECT

    SF.CUST_ID

    ,SF.WIND_ID

    ,SF.PROD_ID

    ,SF.SALE_VAL

    ,SIGN(ISNULL(CSALE.CUST_ID,0)) AS SALE_FLAG

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG SF

    LEFT OUTER JOIN CUSTOMERS_SALE CSALE

    ON SF.CUST_ID = CSALE.CUST_ID

    except

    SELECT e.CUST_ID

    ,e.WIND_ID

    ,e.PROD_ID

    ,e.SALE_VAL, CASE WHEN s.sf = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END --AS sales_flag

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG e

    OUTER APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 1 AS sf

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG e2

    WHERE e.CUST_ID = e2.CUST_ID

    AND e2.SALE_VAL IS NOT NULL) AS s

    This one has same results both ways, so we can compare their performance.

    SELECT

    SF.CUST_ID

    ,SF.WIND_ID

    ,SF.PROD_ID

    ,SF.SALE_VAL

    ,CASE WHEN COUNT(sf.SALE_VAL) OVER

    (

    PARTITION BY SF.CUST_ID

    ORDER BY SF.CUST_ID

    ) > 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END --AS FLG

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG sf

    except

    SELECT e.CUST_ID

    ,e.WIND_ID

    ,e.PROD_ID

    ,e.SALE_VAL, CASE WHEN s.sf = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END --AS sales_flag

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG e

    OUTER APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 1 AS sf

    FROM dbo.TBL_SAMPLE_SALE_FLAG e2

    WHERE e.CUST_ID = e2.CUST_ID

    AND e2.SALE_VAL IS NOT NULL) AS s

    Catch-all queries done right [/url]

  • Typically I've found that DISTINCT is faster than GROUP BY when SELECTing a single column, i.e. as below, but obviously that could vary:

    SELECT DISTINCT

    SSF.customerId

    FROM #example SSF

    WHERE SSF.sales IS NOT NULL

    --vs.

    SELECT

    SSF.customerId

    FROM #example SSF

    WHERE SSF.sales IS NOT NULL

    GROUP BY SSF.customerId
