Query with One Column Changing by Month

  • Hello all, I "inherited" the following code as part of a query for a report:

    -- January

    if @MonthUnits = 1 begin

    insert into #tmpJDEnbrunits

    select '000' + ltrim(MCMCU), GBAN01/100, mcdl02

    from [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0902,

    [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0006

    where GBMCU = MCMCU and

    GBFY = @fy and GBLT = 'AU' and

    GBOBJ = '9900' and GBSUB = '006' and

    MCSTYL in ('R') AND MCMCU<' 999' AND

    MCRP22<>'X'

    end

    -- February

    if @MonthUnits = 2 begin

    insert into #tmpJDEnbrunits

    select '000' + ltrim(MCMCU), GBAN02/100, mcdl02

    from [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0902,

    [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0006

    where GBMCU = MCMCU and

    GBFY = @fy and GBLT = 'AU' and

    GBOBJ = '9900' and GBSUB = '006' and

    MCSTYL in ('R') AND MCMCU<' 999' AND

    MCRP22<>'X'

    end

    And so on through December.

    As you can see, the only thing changing for each month is the two digits at the end of the "GBAN" field (GBAN01 for January, GBAN02 for February, etc.) based on the value of @MonthUnits (again, 1 for Jan, 2 for Feb and so on). I think there has to be a more efficient way of coding this, can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

  • there area couple of other ways to accomplish this but I dont think either will be more efficient. you can use a case statement or dynamic sql.

    here is an example using IF, CASE, and dynamic

    CREATE TABLE #temp(a01 INT, a02 INT, a03 INT)

    GO

    INSERT INTO #temp

    VALUES(1,2,3)

    GO 10

    DECLARE @i INT,

    @C NCHAR(3),

    @sql NVARCHAR(100)

    SET @i = 2

    SELECT CASE WHEN @i = 1 THEN a01

    WHEN @i = 2 THEN a02

    WHEN @i = 3 THEN a03

    END AS a

    FROM #temp;

    SET @C = 'a'+RIGHT('00'+CAST(@i AS NCHAR(1)),2)

    PRINT @C

    SET @sql = 'select '+@c+' from #temp;'

    PRINT @sql

    EXEC (@sql);

    IF @i = 1

    BEGIN

    SELECT a01 FROM #temp

    END

    IF @i = 2

    BEGIN

    SELECT a02 FROM #temp

    END

    IF @i = 3

    BEGIN

    SELECT a03 FROM #temp

    END

    DROP TABLE #temp

  • Thanks Bob. Maybe "efficient" is the wrong word - it just kills me to see that block of code repeated twelve times.

    Me too.:-)

    First, I would be remiss in not saying that whatever table or view that the GBANxx columns are in is in pretty bad shape insofar as normalizing. Assuming that you can't actually do anything to correct that problem, I have a couple of questions to try to arrive at a single query but still flexible solution.

    1. What is the datatype of the @MonthUnits variable?

    2. What is the datatype of the @FY variable?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • It's definitely not properly normalized and no, I can't do anything about it right now, unfortunately.

    Both those variables are declared as char(2) - here's the code that declares and sets them:

    declare @FY1 char(4)

    set @FY1 = (DATEPART(yy,DATEADD(m,-2,GETDATE()) ))

    declare @fy char(2)

    set @fy = SUBSTRING(@fy1,3,2)

    declare @MonthUnits char (2)

    set @MonthUnits = datepart(mm, dateadd(mm, -2, getdate()))

  • INSERT INTO #tmpJDEnbrunits

    SELECT

    '000' + ltrim(MCMCU),

    CASE @MonthUnits WHEN 1 THEN GBAN01 WHEN 2 THEN GBAN02 WHEN 3 THEN GBAN03 --...

    END,

    mcdl02

    FROM [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0902,

    [JDEPSQL1\JDEProd].JDE_PRODUCTION.PRODDTA.F0006

    WHERE

    GBMCU = MCMCU and

    GBFY = @fy and GBLT = 'AU' and

    GBOBJ = '9900' and GBSUB = '006' and

    MCSTYL in ('R') AND MCMCU<' 999' AND

    MCRP22<>'X'

  • Aaand now it's blindingly obvious. Brilliant. Thanks!
