Getting Row numbers for each people group

  • Hi,

    I have a set of rows in a table like for example

    Client ID Client Name Date Score

    1 Smith 12/31/2014 25

    1 Smith 10/15/2014 45

    2 John 08/11/2014 55

    2 John 06/18/2014 15

    3 Rose 04/15/2014 12

    4 Mike 07/23/2014 28

    5 Mary 01/5/2014 56

    6 Lisa 08/1/2014 54

    6 Lisa 05/10/2014 34

    Now I want to use Row Number function or any way where I can get the result as below

    Client ID Client Name Date Score RowNo

    1 Smith 12/31/2014 25 1

    1 Smith 10/15/2014 45 2

    2 John 08/11/2014 55 1

    2 John 06/18/2014 15 2

    3 Rose 04/15/2014 12 1

    4 Mike 07/23/2014 28 1

    5 Mary 01/5/2014 56 1

    6 Lisa 08/1/2014 54 1

    6 Lisa 05/10/2014 34 2

    Thanks In Advance!

  • What is your logic when there are ties?

    For example, you have two records for Smith. It looks like the row number is assigned from the lowest score to the highest score.

    But with John it is the other way around.

  • assuming Koens assumption on Score,

    :

    ;WITH MyCTE([ClientID],[ClientName],[Date],[Score])

    AS

    (

    SELECT '1','Smith','12/31/2014','25' UNION ALL

    SELECT '1','Smith','10/15/2014','45' UNION ALL

    SELECT '2','John','08/11/2014','55' UNION ALL

    SELECT '2','John','06/18/2014','15' UNION ALL

    SELECT '3','Rose','04/15/2014','12' UNION ALL

    SELECT '4','Mike','07/23/2014','28' UNION ALL

    SELECT '5','Mary','01/5/2014','56' UNION ALL

    SELECT '6','Lisa','08/1/2014','54' UNION ALL

    SELECT '6','Lisa','05/10/2014','34'

    )

    SELECT *, row_number() over (partition by [ClientID] ORDER BY [Score]) As RowNo FROM MyCTE;
