The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Nested SQL Query (Group By)

Asked by feesu in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , ,

Experts,

I've got a table called "Trade" that includes the following fields:
CompanyID (int)
Order_Type (nvarchar)
Price (float)
QTY (int)
Investor_Number (nvarchar)
ValueDate (smalldatetime)

I need to create a query of each investor that consolidates his trade for a range of dates (valueDate BETWEEN @startingDate AND @endingDate).
The query has to split the result into the two Order_Type values (Purchase/Sale).
The query has to output the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Purchases                        |                        Sales                              |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CompanyID      Average of Price      Sum of QTY      (Price * QTY) AS Amount      | CompanyID      Average of Price      Sum of QTY      (Price * QTY) AS Amount      |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Note: The best thing I managed to do was to create two different views having the aggregates that I want. One is filtered by Order_Type='Sale' and the other one is filtered by 'Purchase'. It worked fine with a single date. But, the problem I faced was with a range of dates; it grouped by dates and did not consolidate them.
The query has to consolidate all company IDs together and group by only Company IDs, but not dates. I was obliged to choose to show the valueDate field in the view to be able to inner join both views so that I read relevant information. But again, that resulted in not consolidating all dates chosen for the same companyID.
