#376372

Guys, Is there a way to do the following. Temp data and expected results included:
The oldest 2 results based on 'Attempt' by each 'DescR' based on the oldest Cont_Date. I hope this makes sense.
So out of the temp data the expected results would be as per the expected results below. Which shows the oldest two 'DescR' for each 'Attempt' based on the oldest Cont_Date

There is a problem with the way your script inserts the dates. It just enters them as text so they are not sortable by date, the same applies to the "Ref" column, which is stored as text not an int. But you can use this query get the data you want (provided your dates and 'Ref' sort correctly).
;WITH CTE AS (SELECT DISTINCT l.Dealer, l.DescR, l.Attempt FROM #Log l) SELECT CTE.Dealer, CTE.DescR, CTE.Attempt, l.Ref, l.Salute,l.Updated_Date, l.Cont_date, l.Compcode FROM CTE CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP(2) * FROM #Log l WHERE l.Dealer = CTE.Dealer AND l.DescR = CTE.DescR AND l.Attempt = CTE.Attempt ORDER BY Cont_Date) l ORDER BY l.Ref

Amazing thank you very much

Jonathan AC Roberts SSCoach Points: 18352 More actions · Answer 3

An alternative is to use windowed functions:
;WITH l AS ( SELECT l.Dealer, l.DescR, l.Attempt, l.Ref, l.Salute,l.Updated_Date, l.Cont_date, l.Compcode, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY l.Dealer, l.DescR, l.Attempt ORDER BY l.Cont_date) RowNum FROM #Log l ) SELECT l.Dealer, l.DescR, l.Attempt, l.Ref, l.Salute,l.Updated_Date, l.Cont_date, l.Compcode FROM l WHERE l.RowNum <=2 ORDER BY l.Ref

Thanks so much for this Jon. I've have a few joins in the live data is there a way to incorporate what you did above into the below 'Query 1'. Many thanks

Can you list the columns you want in "QUERY 1"? There is currently more than one "dealer" column output.

Sorry please see below

SELECT c.Dealer, c.ContCode, cp.description, CG.Description AS [Attempt], c.RegNo, c.Salute, c.Updated, c.ContDate, c.CompleteCode

Sorry please see below
SELECT c.Dealer, c.ContCode, cp.description, CG.Description AS [Attempt], c.RegNo, c.Salute, c.Updated, c.ContDate, c.CompleteCode

There is no cp.description in QUERY1

apologies don't worry about that one just use:

SELECT c.Dealer, c.ContCode, CG.Description AS [Attempt], c.RegNo, c.Salute, c.Updated, c.ContDate, c.CompleteCode

In this instance you might find the following code faster:
;WITH CTE AS ( SELECT c.Dealer, c.ContCode, CG.Description AS [Attempt], c.RegNo, c.Salute, c.Updated, c.ContDate, c.CompleteCode, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY c.Dealer, /* c.DescR, */ CG.Description ORDER BY c.ContDate) RowNum from #Contacts c JOIN #Dealers2 AS d WITH(NOLOCK) ON d.Dealer = c.Dealer JOIN #ContactGroups CG WITH(NOLOCK) ON C.Dealer = CG.Dealer AND C.Grop = CG.Code WHERE ISNULL(C.Complete, '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000') = '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' AND ISNULL(C.InUse, 0) = 0 AND (ISNULL(C.Follcode,'') <> 'CRC' OR C.OpNum = 0) AND C.FollDate <= getdate() AND C.dealer in ('BAA') AND C.contcode not in ('CSI', 'HCR', 'HEA', 'LAP', 'EVC', 'NFL', 'TYI', 'NCP', 'NTA') ) SELECT Dealer, ContCode, Attempt, RegNo, Salute, Updated, ContDate, CompleteCode FROM CTE WHERE RowNum <=2 ORDER BY RegNo
