Hello
I would like to join Stats.ClientID with Clients.ClientID using an inner
join to get hold of Clients.Client
but I cant figure out how....... (thanks to Rebecca for providing help
earlier)
SELECT
MonthAdded AS StartDate
,DATEADD(d,-1 ,DATEADD(m,1,MonthAdded)) AS EndDate
,ClientID
,Total AS Visitors
FROM
(
SELECT
CONVERT(DATETIME,CONVERT(CHAR(7),Created
,121) + '-01 23:59:59',121 ) AS
MonthAdded
,Stats.ClientID
,COUNT(*) AS Total
FROM
Stats
GROUP BY
CONVERT(DATETIME,CONVERT(CHAR(7),Created
,121) + '-01 23:59:59',121)
, Stats.ClientID
) vwResultsLike this perhaps:
SELECT
MonthAdded AS StartDate
,DATEADD(d,-1 ,DATEADD(m,1,MonthAdded)) AS EndDate
,C.ClientID
,Total AS Visitors
FROM
(...
... ) vwResults
JOIN Clients AS C
ON vwResults.client_id = C.client_id ;

Take off the time part from the convert, and take away 3ms from the EndDate.
This will give you the full scope of the month and not miss all but 3ms of
the StartDay.

I got to work now perfectly, but now I need to add another view.... that
shows for "each w
" (and works even next year) :S
Tried some but it left a mess......
is it possible to do such grouping with some modifications?
so startdate is (for this w
as an example)
2005-10-03 2005-10-09
TIA

Instead of computing things like this, why don't you build a reporting

>|||I don't understand why your first desired result has two rows for the
same month. Going by your second example this seems to be a mistake. I
think you want to GROUP BY DATEDIFF(MONTH, '/* some fixed date */,
datecreated). For the dates join to a Calendar table.
As posted your schema and data makes no sense. Why the duplicate rows?
You need a unique constraint on (person,datecreated).

since they are different w
s. nothing to do with months
