GET THE RIGHT EXCHANGE RATE FROM TABLE

emi_sastra
emi_sastra used Ask the Experts™

Hi All,

I have transaction table and a exchange rate table.

I. TableA
   1. TrsId
   2. TrsDate
   3. CurcyCode

II. TableB
    1. CurcyCode
    2. ExchangeDate
    3. ExchangeRate

My problem is how to get the right exchange rate for every transaction ?

Scenario :

1. If TrsDate  = ExchangeDate  then get the ExchangeRate.
2. If TrsDate > ExchangeDate  then get the latest ExchangeDate before the TrsDate's  ExchangeRate.

How could I do it ?

Thank you.

Try this query and get back if you face any problem:

SELECT       B.ExchangeRate,
              TOP 1 CASE WHEN A.TrsDate  > B.ExchangeDate
                               THEN B.ExchangeRate
              END

Select TrsID ,Max(ExchangeDate),ExchangeRate

When we use max() should have group by.
It has double ExchangeRate.

It is very difficult to get it in a single query since one situation will fetch multiple rows and the second one a single row. The problem can be solved in two different queries as follows:

Query 1: If TrsDate  = ExchangeDate  then get the ExchangeRate.

SELECT CASE WHEN A.TrsDate  = B.ExchangeDate
                               THEN B.ExchangeRate
                                END
FROM             TableA A
INNER JOIN       TableB B
ON       A.CurcyCode = B.CurcyCode;

Query 2: If TrsDate > ExchangeDate  then get the latest ExchangeDate before the TrsDate's  ExchangeRate.

SELECT TOP 1 CASE WHEN A.TrsDate  > B.ExchangeDate
                               THEN B.ExchangeRate
                      END
FROM             TableA A
INNER JOIN       TableB B
ON       A.CurcyCode = B.CurcyCode
GROUP BY B.ExchangeRate
ORDER BY B.ExchangeDate DESC;

You can try adding more columns in both query's SELECT list if you require any.

For obtaining in a single query, you can try:

SELECT CASE WHEN A.TrsDate  = B.ExchangeDate
                               THEN B.ExchangeRate
                                END
FROM             TableA A
INNER JOIN       TableB B
ON       A.CurcyCode = B.CurcyCode
UNION
SELECT TOP 1 CASE WHEN A.TrsDate  > B.ExchangeDate
                               THEN B.ExchangeRate
                      END
FROM             TableA A
INNER JOIN       TableB B
ON       A.CurcyCode = B.CurcyCode
GROUP BY B.ExchangeRate
ORDER BY B.ExchangeDate DESC;

The SELECT list in UNION should be of same number and type of columns.

H pratima_mcs,

- inner join TableB B2 on X.TrsID = B2.TrsID
B2 has no TrsId column.

- Select TrsID ,Max(ExchangeDate)
ExchangeRate
Why Max(ExchangeDate) to ExchangeRate ?

Thank you.

Since if the ExchangeRate  same as before there will no adding data for the same rate  until its rate  change.

Try update ExchangeRate  to 0

Then run your query. What are the result ?
