customized grouping

I have a tabular report with several groupings.
I want to customize one of the groups.
For example I have a field called country. I want to group it by
region, western and eastern. How would I do this?where does the regional information come from? you need to provide us with
more info about your fields and their data.

Custom Weeks

In CODE section below, I'm grouping the Sum of Freight by the w/year. We
have a custom year begin and end year table that the DDL section will
create. Thus, I use the t_w table to calculate our custom ws with w
1 of any year starting with the date in the w_beginyeardate field and the
last w of the year ending on the w_endyeardate date value.
Is there a way I could return the same results created by my CODE section in
Northwind except use custom ws derived from my t_w table? Also, I also
need a fix to properly sort the w/year field from start to end w/year
field.
CODE:
SELECT CAST(DATEPART(w, OrderDate) AS varchar(2)) + '-' +
CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, OrderDate) AS char(4)) AS wnum, SUM(Freight) AS
sumFreight
FROM Orders
GROUP BY CAST(DATEPART(w, OrderDate) AS varchar(2)) + '-' +
CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, OrderDate) AS char(4))
ORDER BY CAST(DATEPART(w, OrderDate) AS varchar(2)) + '-' +
CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, OrderDate) AS char(4))
DDL ****************************************
*****
USE [Northwind]
GO
CREATE TABLE [t_w] (
[w_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[w_beginyeardate] [datetime] NULL,
[w_endyeardate] [datetime] NULL,
[w_year] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into t_w (w_beginyeardate, w_endyeardate, w_year) values
('19951226', '19961230', '1996')
insert into t_w (w_beginyeardate, w_endyeardate, w_year) values
('19961231', '19971229', '1997')
insert into t_w (w_beginyeardate, w_endyeardate, w_year) values
('19971230', '19981228', '1998')
insert into t_w (w_beginyeardate, w_endyeardate, w_year) values
('19981229', '19981227', '1999')
insert into t_w (w_beginyeardate, w_endyeardate, w_year) values
('19991228', '20001225', '2000')A sub-query, like
SELECT CAST(DATEDIFF(dd, (SELECT w_beginyeardate FROM t_w WHERE
w_year=DATEPART(yyyy, o.OrderDate)), o.OrderDate)/7 +1 AS varchar(2))
would get you the custom w number for a given date, but you can't use
sub-queries in a GROUP BY clause. The solution here is to create a function.
The function below formats OrderDate into yyyy-ww
CREATE FUNCTION udfCustomWFormat (@.date datetime)
RETURNS varchar(7)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.output varchar(7)
SELECT @.output = CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, @.date) AS char(4)) + '-'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(dd, (SELECT w_beginyeardate FROM t_w
WHERE w_year=DATEPART(yyyy, @.date)), @.date) / 7 + 1 AS varchar(3)), 2)
RETURN @.output
END
You can then use the function to both group and order by
SELECT dbo.udfCustomWFormat(OrderDate), SUM(Freight) AS sumFreight
FROM Orders
GROUP BY dbo.udfCustomWFormat(OrderDate)
ORDER BY dbo.udfCustomWFormat(OrderDate)

The only thing wrong is for example at the end of 2004, your w 53 2004
should be w 1 2005. If you run my example below, you'll see no w 1
2005. otherwise, the wly sums are correct. 2004 should only have 52
ws.
I think this is happening because you aren't taking the year ending dates
into consideration.

Your example t_w table only goes to 2000, but you are running it against
a table that has dates in 2005; is the table cyclic?

I
got from your second post that you were adjusting your data to fit Northwind
so a solution could be tested (and that's appreciated!)
I noticed when I ran the query against Northwind, one of the years (1996 I
think) shows up as having 53 ws in it. The difference between the year
start date and end date for 1996 in your sample is 370 days, so that does go
beying 52 ws. However, in a "normal" year, my math shows the last day of
the year being in w 53. It needs some twing. If I have time, I'll post
an adjusted version later.

CREATE FUNCTION udfCustomWFormat (@.date datetime)
RETURNS varchar(7)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.output varchar(7)
SELECT @.output = CAST(w_year AS char(4)) + '-'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(CEILING(DATEDIFF(dd, w_beginyeardate, @.date) / 7.00)
AS
varchar(3)), 2)
FROM t_w WHERE @.date BETWEEN w_beginyeardate AND w_endyeardate
RETURN @.output
END
Now the last (364th) day of the year shows up as being in w 52. For years
that go beyond 364 days, you will still end up with a w 53 out of this
function.
