SQL to SUM certain rows only


I'm trying to find a method to sum a dollar amount in a small data set, but only on certain rows. This data is extracted from another system that I cannot change. This will be used for one-time data import into SQL so pretty and efficient are low priority. I need to sum the rows where a specific person ID has made two or more payments for the same event code.

In the data, all columns (many not shown) for the person paying are the same except for AmountPaid and DatePaid. I want to SUM AmountPaid (and get MAX of DatePaid if possible).

Data looks like this:

EventCode | PersonID | DatePaid | AmountPaid
****    
EventA | Person123 |2017-01-01 | $50
EventA | Person456 |2017-02-01 | $100
EventA | Person123 |2017-02-02 | $50
EventB | Person123 |2016-01-01 | $100
EventC | Person456 |2017-07-07 | $200
EventC | Person123 |2017-08-08 | $200

What I need to do is total just the payments for EventA made by Person123 - total should $100 (50+50), so I can import this as one payment transaction.

Ideal results would like this:

EventCode | PersonID | DatePaid | AmountPaid
****    
EventA | Person456 |2017-02-01 | $100
EventA | Person123 |2017-02-02 | $100
EventB | Person123 |2016-01-01 | $100
EventC | Person456 |2017-07-07 | $200
EventC | Person123 |2017-08-08 | $200

Thanks,


Solution

  • If you have more columns in the table as you mentioned in the comment and it's one time tassk, you may try the following

    SELECT   DISTINCT
      EventCode,
      PersonID,
      DatePaid = (SELECT MAX(DatePaid) FROM YourTable t2 WHERE t1.EventCode = t2.EventCode AND t1.PersonID = t2.PersonID) ,
      AmountPaid= (SELECT SUM(AmountPaid) FROM YourTable t2 WHERE t1.EventCode = t2.EventCode AND t1.PersonID = t2.PersonID)
      //select other 100+ columns
    FROM YourTable t1
