Add a summary row with totals
I know this sounds crazy and probably should not be done this way but I need something like this - I have a records from SELECT [Type], [Total Sales] From Before
I want to add an extra row at the end to show the SUM at the end of the table (After). Could this be done?
If you are on SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can use the ROLLUP()
GROUP BY function:
SELECT
Type = ISNULL(Type, 'Total'),
TotalSales = SUM(TotalSales)
FROM atable
GROUP BY ROLLUP(Type)
;
This assumes that the Type
column cannot have NULLs and so the NULL in this query would indicate the rollup row, the one with the grand total. However, if the Type
column can have NULLs of its own, the more proper type of accounting for the total row would be like in @Declan_K's answer, i.e. using the GROUPING()
function:
SELECT
Type = CASE GROUPING(Type) WHEN 1 THEN 'Total' ELSE Type END,
TotalSales = SUM(TotalSales)
FROM atable
GROUP BY ROLLUP(Type)
;
This is the more powerful grouping / rollup syntax you'll want to use in SQL Server 2008+. Always useful to specify the version you're using so we don't have to guess.
SELECT
[Type] = COALESCE([Type], 'Total'),
[Total Sales] = SUM([Total Sales])
FROM dbo.Before
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS(([Type]),());
Craig Freedman wrote a great blog post introducing GROUPING SETS
.
Try to use union all
as below
SELECT [Type], [Total Sales] From Before
union all
SELECT 'Total', Sum([Total Sales]) From Before
if you have problem with ordering, as i-one suggested try this:
select [Type], [Total Sales]
from (SELECT [Type], [Total Sales], 0 [Key]
From Before
union all
SELECT 'Total', Sum([Total Sales]), 1 From Before) sq
order by [Key], Type
You could use the ROLLUP operator
SELECT CASE
WHEN (GROUPING([Type]) = 1) THEN 'Total'
ELSE [Type] END AS [TYPE]
,SUM([Total Sales]) as Total_Sales
From Before
GROUP BY
[Type] WITH ROLLUP
