Query with History table 2

I'm trying to create a start and end date so that I can have a better idea of history.

When I run this query:

SELECT [Item Number], [Item Date], [% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM item master file history]
where [item number] like '86%9355'
And [% off marked price] is not null
order by [item number], [Item Date]

I get the following result:

Item number Item Date % off marked price
869000000009355 2006-12-18 00:00:00 70
869000000009355 2007-01-08 00:00:00 80
869000000009355 2007-02-26 00:00:00 90

what I want my data to look like is:

Item Number Start Date End Date % off marked price
869000000009355 2006-12-18 00:00:00 2007-01-07 00:00:00 70
869000000009355 2007-01-08 00:00:00 2007-02-25 00:00:00 80
869000000009355 2007-02-26 00:00:00 getdate() 90


any ideas?

And Thanks!!

 
My suggestion would be to create a table variable with an identity column. Then, insert the data in to this identity column. Then, finally, do a left self join on this table (making sure you include the item number in the join condition).

Something like:
Code:
SELECT     
	[Item Number], 
	[Item Date] AS StartDate, 
	COALESCE((SELECT MIN([Item Date]) FROM [item master file history] WHERE [Item Date] > h.[Item Date]), GETDATE()) AS EndDate,
	[% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM         item master file history] AS h
where  [item number] like '86%9355'
And [% off marked price] is not null
order by [item number], [Item Date]
 
Opps, missed the date subtraction:
Code:
SELECT     
    [Item Number], 
    [Item Date] AS StartDate, 
    COALESCE((SELECT MIN([Item Date]) FROM [item master file history] WHERE [Item Date] > h.[Item Date]) - 1, GETDATE()) AS EndDate,
    [% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM         item master file history] AS h
where  [item number] like '86%9355'
And [% off marked price] is not null
order by [item number], [Item Date]
 
Close.... here's the scenario....we can go in and increase the discount amount on product - every time we do, the day is recorded. We record inventory on different count dates - and depending on that count date has to be between the start and end dates.

So your query returns the end date as the day after it was entered. I need the end date to be the day before the next start date. The closest I've come to is:

select a.[Item Number] 'Item',b.[Item Date] 'Start',a.[% off marked price] 'Curr Dis',
a.[Item Date] 'END',b.[% off marked price] 'prev Dis'
from [item master file history] a join [item master file history] b on a.[item number] = b.[item number]
and b.[item date] <= a.[item date]
and a.[item date] in (select max([item date]) from [item master file history] group by [Item Number])
and b.[item date] in (select max([item date]) from [item master file history] where [item date] < a.[item date] group by [Item Number])

and a.[item number] like '86%9355'
and a.[% off marked price] is not null
and b.[% off marked price] is not null

From another post
 
that returns this:

869000000009355 2006-12-18 00:00:00 2006-12-18 00:00:00.000 70
869000000009355 2007-01-08 00:00:00 2007-01-08 00:00:00.000 80
869000000009355 2007-02-26 00:00:00 2007-02-26 00:00:00.000 90

the 'end date' needs to be 1 day less than the start date of the next row - so for the first row, the end date needs to be 2007-01-07, the second row - the end date needs to be 2007-02-25, and the last row the end date needs to be current date (unless there are more rows!)
 
Did you run Lamprey's second code block? It appears to return exactly what you originally requested.

Lamprey's second block returns:

869000000009355 2006-12-18 00:00:00 2006-12-18 00:00:00.000 70
869000000009355 2007-01-08 00:00:00 2007-01-08 00:00:00.000 80
869000000009355 2007-02-26 00:00:00 2007-02-26 00:00:00.000 90
 
what I want my data to look like is:

Item Number Start Date End Date % off marked price
869000000009355 2006-12-18 00:00:00 2007-01-07 00:00:00 70
869000000009355 2007-01-08 00:00:00 2007-02-25 00:00:00 80
869000000009355 2007-02-26 00:00:00 getdate() 90

Code:
--SET UP
DECLARE @ItemMasterFileHistory TABLE (ItemNumber VARCHAR(30), ItemDate DATETIME, PercentOff INT)
INSERT @ItemMasterFileHistory
SELECT '869000000009355',  '2006-12-18 00:00:00', 70    
UNION SELECT '869000000009355', '2007-01-08 00:00:00', 80    
UNION SELECT '869000000009355', '2007-02-26 00:00:00', 90   

-- Query (same as above)
SELECT     
    [ItemNumber], 
    [ItemDate] AS StartDate, 
    COALESCE((SELECT MIN([ItemDate]) FROM @ItemMasterFileHistory WHERE [ItemDate] > h.[ItemDate]) - 1, GETDATE()) AS EndDate,
    PercentOff AS [% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM 
	@ItemMasterFileHistory AS h
where  [ItemNumber] like '86%9355'
And [PercentOff] is not null
order by [ItemNumber], [ItemDate]

-- Result
ItemNumber                     StartDate               EndDate                 % OFF MARKED PRICE

Yep, works as expected..
 
I should have mentioned - my bad - that this table has more than 3 rows, and this 'item number' has more than 3 rows. Any time there is any update (on any of 20 other columns) the date is recorded. so if I remove the 'null' from the where clause:

Code:
SELECT     [Item Number], [Item Date], [% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM         [item master file history] 
where  [item number] like '86%0009355'
order by [item number], [Item Date]

I get
Code:
869000000009355	2006-11-03 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-11-03 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-11-06 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-11-10 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-11-10 00:00:00	NULL

869000000009355	2006-12-18 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-12-18 00:00:00	70    
869000000009355	2006-12-18 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2006-12-27 00:00:00	NULL
869000000009355	2007-01-08 00:00:00	80    
869000000009355	2007-02-26 00:00:00	90    
869000000009355	2007-04-17 00:00:00	NULL

my apologies to you both! I should have been clearer in my initial post!
 
Assuming you still want the same output, add the IS NULL clause to the sub-query:
Code:
SELECT     
    [ItemNumber], 
    [ItemDate] AS StartDate, 
    COALESCE((SELECT MIN([ItemDate]) FROM @ItemMasterFileHistory WHERE [ItemDate] > h.[ItemDate] [b][COLOR=red]AND [PercentOff] IS NOT NULL[/color][/b]) - 1, GETDATE()) AS EndDate,
    PercentOff AS [% OFF MARKED PRICE]
FROM 
	@ItemMasterFileHistory AS h
where  [ItemNumber] like '86%9355'
And [PercentOff] is not null
order by [ItemNumber], [ItemDate]
 
Lamprey - I'm giving you a star just for sheer persistence!

YES - Lamprey Rocks - nother star!! For some reason, nothing was giving me the same results - it obviously had something to do with something else in the table. But using your idea - I pulled it from the 'data set' that worked using your query - and now it works SAWEET!!

Thanks!!
