Insert missing dates between two rows, but use quantity/value from previous date to populate those 'in between' dates.

I closed this, but it is me again...I didn't notice, but in this code the dates between the changedates should be picking up the blocked rooms from the changedate before.  
Another data sample may help:

changedate      change_alldates      roomdate      blockedrooms
2011-02-22      2011-02-22      2011-05-16      70
2011-02-22      2011-02-22      2011-05-17      70
2011-02-24      2011-02-23      2011-05-15      40
2011-02-24      2011-02-23      2011-05-16      55
2011-02-24      2011-02-23      2011-05-17      60
2011-02-24      2011-02-23      2011-05-18      3
2011-02-24      2011-02-24      2011-05-15      40
2011-02-24      2011-02-24      2011-05-16      55
2011-02-24      2011-02-24      2011-05-17      60
2011-02-24      2011-02-24      2011-05-18      3
2011-03-08       2011-02-25      2011-05-15      44
2011-03-08       2011-02-25      2011-05-16      63

change_alldates represents the 'dates between' change dates...which is working perfect.  Problem is that the blocked rooms should repeat up from the previous change_date up to when the date actually changes.  So...would look like this:

changedate      change_alldates roomdate                           blockedrooms
2011-02-22      2011-02-22            2011-05-16      70
2011-02-22      2011-02-22            2011-05-17      70
2011-02-24      2011-02-23            2011-05-15      70
2011-02-24      2011-02-23            2011-05-16      70
2011-02-24      2011-02-24            2011-05-15      40
2011-02-24      2011-02-24            2011-05-16      55
2011-02-24      2011-02-24            2011-05-17      60
2011-02-24      2011-02-24            2011-05-18      3
2011-03-08       2011-02-25            2011-05-15      40
2011-03-08       2011-02-25            2011-05-16      55
2011-03-08       2011-02-25            2011-05-17      60
2011-03-08       2011-02-25            2011-05-18      3
2011-03-08      2011-02-26            2011-05-15      40
2011-03-08      2011-02-26            2011-05-16      55
2011-03-08      2011-02-26            2011-05-17      60

It wouldn't be until change_alldates was 2011-03-08 and changedate = 2011-03-08 as well that the blocked rooms would change to:
2011-03-08      2011-03-08            2011-05-15      43
2011-03-08      2011-03-08            2011-05-16      63
2011-03-08      2011-03-08            2011-05-17      63
2011-03-08      2011-03-08            2011-05-18      3

The code I'm using:
with numbers as (select row_number() over (order by name) - 1 as n from sys.all_objects)
select   propertypid, bookingid, postas, changedate, changedate - isnull(n, 0) as change_alldates, roomdate, blockedrooms, ispickupcomplete, pickupdate, statusid    
	from
     (select   propertypid, bookingid, postas, changedate, roomdate, blockedrooms, ispickupcomplete, pickupdate, statusid, isnull(max(prevdate), changedate) as prevdate /*anjj*/
                  from (select a.propertypid, a.bookingid, a.postas, a.changedate, a.roomdate, a.blockedrooms, a.ispickupcomplete, a.pickupdate, a.statusid
							, b.changedate as prevdate 
							from #guestroominfo as a
                               left outer join #guestroominfo as b on a.propertypid = b.propertypid and a.changedate > b.changedate and a.bookingid = b.bookingid
							) as x
              group by propertypid, bookingid, postas, changedate, roomdate, blockedrooms, ispickupcomplete, pickupdate, statusid
		) as a
         left join numbers on numbers.n < datediff(d, prevdate, changedate)
order by propertypid, change_alldates, changedate, roomdate

Open in new window


I don't understand how to get it to enter the dates between, but use the rooms from the prevdate.  Do I need to do this in two steps?  One to gather the dates between and another to assign the blockedrooms for the date?

also...I need the change_alldates to extend to today's date...

so last date whenever I run would be getdate() and have the blockedroom count from the most recent changedate.  Does that make sense?

Thank you!

Hi,

create a numbers table or tally table that has more rows than the maximum date range in days. I note that you are using row_number() function.

do a left outer join and insert blank missing rows.

Use the "quirky update" to copy the values down into the new blank rows.

Regards

What will be the performance of hit if I use the quirky update (which I had to lookup... http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/T-SQL/68467/ ...is it the same you're talking about?).  This is just one 'client'...I've got @50000 'clients' I need to go through to split their individual transaction history into day by day transactions.

I'm working on updating to use quirky update once I get this morning's weekend 'fires' under control...thanks.
