Hello, everyone,
I'm running CF server connecting to an Oracle (11g) db.
I have a table that keeps track of projects (past, present, future) and need a way to sum the days for each project, for each month, that have happened.
For example.
ID - Name - Start - Stop - Employees 001 Project A 01-Oct-14 31-Dec-14 8 002 Project B 06-Feb-15 21-Feb-15 9 003 Project C 30-Oct-14 29-Nov-14 3 004 Project D 26-Dec-14 16-Apr-15 21
I'm trying to create an overview where the display will have the months of a Fiscal Year go across the page, indicating the number of employee days for each project that have elapsed. (NOT counting the current day). New requirement: To make matters even more complex, there is a related table for the employees showing what dates they actually started and stopped (not every employee starts on day 1 and ends on the last day.. some start a day or two after the project start, etc.)
I'm not wrapping my head around this, for some reason. Mental block. Any ideas?
Someone in another forum suggested a PIVOT. That's above my paygrade (I have never used PIVOT, don't understand how it works, etc.)
V/r,
^_^

This may be a good start. Display by Month Year the Average and Sum Dates between Start and Stop by Project.
SELECT CAST (
(CAST(MONTH(Start) AS varchar(2)) + '/01/' + CAST(YEAR(Start) AS varchar(4)))
AS DateTime
)
AS DatePeriod,
AVG(DateDiff(day, Start, Stop)) AS AverageDaysToClose,
SUM(DateDiff(day, Start, Stop)) AS SumTotalDaysToClose,
Name
FROM Projects
GROUP BY CAST (
(CAST(MONTH(Start) AS varchar(2)) + '/01/' + CAST(YEAR(Start) AS varchar(4)))
AS DateTime
),
Name
ORDER BY DatePeriod, Name

Hi, FirstSavings,
Thanks for replying! I'll give that a shot as a starting point, and let you know.
Much appreciated,
