Filtering a query

  • Hi all; I have a report that lists the total sum of fees done in a specific date range.

    SELECT Customer.Number, Customer.Name, sum(InvoicedFeeView.Fees) AS TotalFees, Staff.Username, Staff.StaffID

    FROM InvoicedFeeView INNER JOIN

    Customer ON InvoicedFeeView.CustomerID = Customer.CustomerID INNER JOIN

    Staff ON Customer.SalesRepStaffID = Staff.StaffID

    WHERE (InvoicedFeeView.InvoiceDate BETWEEN dbo.dateonly(@Start) AND DBO.DATEONLY(@End)) AND (Staff.StaffID = @Staff)

    GROUP BY Customer.Number, Customer.Name, Staff.Username, Staff.StaffID

    I need to filter this out more by excluding any customers that have placed an order prior to the start date (InvoicedFeeView.InvoiceDate < @Start).

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Thank you so much in advance for your help.

  • If u dont need data that are between start and end and also < @Start, why not put, < @End only in your query ??

  • Basically, I am trying to get a list of the customers that have done work with us, where their FIRST ORDER was done within the specified date range.

    I hope that explains it a bit better?

  • i can get the scope of it; but if u could provide some sample data along with a snapshot of the expected output, we will be all set to launch into the code 🙂

  • Thank you.

    some examples:

    DECLARE @Staff INT, @Start datetime, @End datetime

    SELECT @Staff = 183, @Start = '3/1/2010', @End = '2/28/2011'

    cNumber Name TotalAmount Staff StaffID FIRST ORDER DATE Should Be Listed

    406 JOHNNY'S PIZZA $2,343.50 jsmith 183 3/5/2010 Yes

    49 D&B $438.00 jsmith 183 11/1/2010 Yes

    524 SULLIVAN $1,006.60 jsmith 183 1/1/2011 Yes

    500 SWEET TOOTH $518.00 jsmith 183 2/1/2009 No

    This list shows that there were orders placed by this group of customers within the date range specified, the first three rows has there first order placed within the date range, and the last one had their first order outside of the parameters (even though there was results from within that date range).

    As you can probably see, I'm not really knowledgeable and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • You need to think of this in steps. First you need to find the first order in your system for each customer. This involves a MIN() and a group by on the customerId.

    Using that as a subquery, you then filter the remaining customer list by only those customers who have a MinDate after your check date.

    If you check out the first link in my signature for sample data and ddl setup, we can probably help you out with explicit code.

  • Thanks for your responses!

    I got a solution and that was putting the date range parameter into a having clause and adding "Min(InvoiceDate) between...". That seems to have worked!
