Hey Everyone . . .

I have the following Case statement:


CASE
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '00:00:00' AND '00:59:59' THEN 0
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '01:00:00' AND '01:59:59' THEN 1
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '02:00:00' AND '02:59:59' THEN 2
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '03:00:00' AND '03:59:59' THEN 3
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '04:00:00' AND '04:59:59' THEN 4
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '05:00:00' AND '05:59:59' THEN 5
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '06:00:00' AND '06:59:59' THEN 6
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '07:00:00' AND '07:59:59' THEN 7
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '08:00:00' AND '08:59:59' THEN 8
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '09:00:00' AND '09:59:59' THEN 9
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '10:00:00' AND '10:59:59' THEN 10
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '11:00:00' AND '11:59:59' THEN 11
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '12:00:00' AND '12:59:59' THEN 12
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '13:00:00' AND '13:59:59' THEN 13
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '14:00:00' AND '14:59:59' THEN 14
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '15:00:00' AND '15:59:59' THEN 15
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '16:00:00' AND '16:59:59' THEN 16
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '17:00:00' AND '17:59:59' THEN 17
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '18:00:00' AND '18:59:59' THEN 18
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '19:00:00' AND '19:59:59' THEN 19
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '20:00:00' AND '20:59:59' THEN 20
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '21:00:00' AND '21:59:59' THEN 21
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '22:00:00' AND '22:59:59' THEN 22
		WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '23:00:00' AND '23:59:59' THEN 23
	END AS 'Hours',

The purpose is to take a row and set it to the hour of the day that it occurred in. This works fine, however I would like to force it to display every hour 0-23 regardless of whether or not it has a corresponding row.

So, if no row exists for 0, display 0 with null values for the rest of the columns.

thoughts?

thanks!

You just need some sort of Number/Tally table and a LEFT OUTER JOIN. Here is a sample with an inline-tally table:

-- Sample Data
DECLARE @Foo TABLE (start_date DATETIME)

INSERT @Foo
VALUES
(SYSDATETIME())
,(DATEADD(HOUR, -2, SYSDATETIME()))
,(SYSDATETIME())
,(SYSDATETIME())
,(SYSDATETIME())
,(DATEADD(HOUR, 3, SYSDATETIME()))


-- Query
;WITH 
Tens (N)     AS (SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL
                 SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9), 
Hudreds (N)  AS (SELECT t1.N FROM Tens t1 CROSS JOIN Tens t2), 
Tally (N)    AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) FROM Hudreds)

SELECT 
	Tally.N
	,COALESCE(A.Hours, 0) AS Hours
FROM Tally
LEFT OUTER JOIN
	(
		SELECT
			CASE
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '00:00:00' AND '00:59:59' THEN 0
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '01:00:00' AND '01:59:59' THEN 1
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '02:00:00' AND '02:59:59' THEN 2
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '03:00:00' AND '03:59:59' THEN 3
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '04:00:00' AND '04:59:59' THEN 4

				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '06:00:00' AND '06:59:59' THEN 6

				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '14:00:00' AND '14:59:59' THEN 14
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '15:00:00' AND '15:59:59' THEN 15
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '16:00:00' AND '16:59:59' THEN 16
				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '17:00:00' AND '17:59:59' THEN 17

				WHEN CAST(wo.start_date AS TIME) BETWEEN '23:00:00' AND '23:59:59' THEN 23
			END AS Hours
		FROM
			@Foo AS wo
	) AS A
	ON Tally.N = A.Hours
WHERE
	Tally.N <= 24

wont this be enough?


SELECT 
	Tally.N
	,COALESCE(DATEPART(hh,t.start_date), 0) AS Hours
FROM Tally n
LEFT JOIN Table t
ON DATEPART(hh,t.start_date) = n.N
