SQL 2008 - Running total partition over Company - for each grouping per Company - run total else reset

Hi, I spent a lot of time looking through a lot of results on google, but can't get exactly what I need even after changing many methods of the examples

 
Drop Table #Checks
CREATE TABLE #Checks
(
  Client VARCHAR(32),
  RowNr int,
  Amount DECIMAL(12,2)
);

INSERT #Checks(Client, RowNr, Amount)
          SELECT 'Company A', '1', 50
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '2', 75
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '3', 120
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '4', 75
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '5', 40
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '6', 200
UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '7', 90;

Open in new window


select * from #checks
I need help on getting it to (Sort by RowNumber) and reset whenever a company changes please. Thus

Company A Running Total 50
Company A Running Total 125
Company A Running Total 245
Company B Running Total 75
Company A Running Total 40
Company B Running Total 200
Company B Running Total 290

have you tried the row_number() analytic function?

Hi, Row_Number() was used previously yes, any hint on how to use it in this scenario? The RowNumbers are already generated?
this is a quick reply, using a cte to simulate the temp table - but using row_number() to re- sequence the output.
CLIENT	AMOUNT	ROWNR
Company A	50	1
Company A	75	2
Company A	120	3
Company A	40	4
Company B	75	1
Company B	200	2
Company B	90	3


with #checks (client, RowNr, Amount)  as (
                      SELECT 'Company A', '1', 50
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '2', 75
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '3', 120
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '4', 75
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company A', '5', 40
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '6', 200
            UNION ALL SELECT 'Company B', '7', 90
            ),
rechecks as (
              select
                 client
               , amount
               , row_number() over (partition by client order by rownr) as rownr
              from #checks
            )
select
*
from rechecks
order by client, RowNr
;

I hope my previous post answers this

it's really up to you, but I would suggest
row_number() over (partition by client order by RowNr) as <<something you choose>>

the 'partition by client' will re-start the numbers for each client, &
the 'order by rowNr' will leverage the wanted sequence

you can give this calculated column a different alias - i just re-used rowNr above.
Thanks, I think we missed each other on this one unfortunately. I'd like to keep the existing row numbers, and create a running total for each company, until the company changes, which then resets the running total -
e.g.

Company A (First case) Running Total 50
Company A (First case) Running Total 125
Company A (First case) Running Total 245
Company B (Second case) Running Total 75
Company A (Third case) Running Total 40
Company B (Fourth case) Running Total 200
Company B (Fourth case) Running Total 290
Oh, and you don't have to use CTEs, let's assume you continue with the temp table, then it could look like this:
select
client, amount, rowNr, rowNr2
from (
              select
                 client
               , amount
               , rowNr
               , row_number() over (partition by client order by rownr) as rownr2
              from #checks
            ) as rechecks
from rechecks
order by client, RowNr2

Open in new window

running total ....my bad ... hold on ... most sorry
this is SQL Server 2008 - is that correct? (or is it 2012?)
SQL Server 2008 yes please, thanks!
