Hello,I have an issue with some data.. I have been working on this for some time and can't get the query to pickup the information the way I need it..Below is a sample of my data.. What I need is the start and end time of each task, but the issue is there is no unique task number to bind them together.. So for instance the task starts with 'Open-Submitted' and ends with 'Task Approved'. The issue is there can be multiple occurences in the same file number. I need to be able to split these into multiple tasks with the associated start and stop times.File ID Datetimes Task Event Status Task Event Name Task ID Event IDFile 1 6/3/13 16:33 Open-Submitted Task is retrieved TSK-123456 12345File 1 6/3/13 16:44 Open-Approved Task Approved TSK-123456 23456File 1 6/20/13 18:11 Open-Submitted Task is retrieved TSK-123456 34567File 1 6/21/13 14:42 Open-Approved Task Approved TSK-123456 45678 Thank you for the help!Thanks! |

This should get you a set of rows with Event = Open-Submitted and the next Task Approved.SELECT a.*, b.*FROM YourTable a OUTER APPLY ( SELECT TOP 1 * FROM YourTable b WHERE b.STATUS = 'Task Approved' AND b.DateTimesTask > a.DateTimesTask ORDER BY DateTimesTask ASC ) bWHERE a.EVENT = 'Open-Submitted'; |
