I have these results:
PersonID SUM(PA.Total) ------------------------- 1 75 2 75 3 15 4 15 5 60 6 60
With the table like:
PersonID Total ------------------ 1 50 2 50 3 10 4 10 5 40 6 40 1 25 2 25 3 5 4 5 5 20 6 20
These are grouped by the person. Now I’m looking to add a column with the percentages for each person calculated from the total of all of their sums.
For example: the total sum is 300, and hence I need a result like this:
PersonID SUM(PA.Total) Percentage -------------------------------------- 1 75 25% 2 75 25% 3 15 5% 4 15 5% 5 60 20% 6 60 20%
I have looked at code online and I have come up with a fix such as this:
SELECT P.PersonID, SUM(PA.Total) SUM(PA.Total) * 100 / [p] AS 'Percentage' FROM Person P JOIN Package PA ON P.PersonID = PA.PackageFK CROSS JOIN (SELECT SUM(PA.[Total]) AS [p] FROM Package PA) t GROUP BY P.PersonID
But I’m unsure how to incorporate the cross join into the join as well as the already group/sum section. Or whether this is along the right lines altogether.
Any help would be appreciated – SQL fiddle http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/80f91/2

You don’t need a cross join
. Just use window functions:
SELECT P.PersonID, SUM(PA.Total), SUM(PA.Total) * 100.0 / SUM(SUM(PA.Total)) OVER () AS Percentage FROM Person P JOIN Package PA ON P.PersonID = PA.PackageFK GROUP BY P.PersonID;
Note that you do not need the JOIN
for this query:
SELECT PA.PersonID, SUM(PA.Total), SUM(PA.Total) * 100.0 / SUM(SUM(PA.Total)) OVER () AS Percentage FROM Package PA GROUP BY PA.PersonID;
SQL Server does integer division. I do such calculations using decimal numbers so they make more sense.
Here is a SQL Fiddle, with two changes:
- The database is changed to SQL Server.
- The total is stored as a number rather than a string.
