Calculating Year-to-Date Amounts in SQL: A Step-by-Step Guide Using UNION ALL and Window Functions
SELECT * , ( CASE WHEN AMOUNT = 0 THEN 0 ELSE sum(AMOUNT) OVER (PARTITION BY FISCAL_YEAR, GL_ACCOUNT, WORKCENTRE_CODE, UNIT_OF_MEASURE ORDER BY FISCAL_MONTH) END ) as YTD_AMOUNT FROM ( SELECT * FROM query1 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM query2 ) t; This SQL query will first combine the two queries into one using a union operator. It then uses a case statement to check if the AMOUNT is 0, and if so, it returns 0 for the YTD amount.
