I have this table :

TBL_ENERGII
ID    | DateTime                | [CM1-Ea]
16431 | 2020-09-22 06:00:00.000 | 2627123.9
16432 | 2020-09-22 14:00:00.000 | 2627900.0
16433 | 2020-09-22 22:00:00.000 | 2628547.0
16434 | 2020-09-23 06:00:00.000 | 2629204.0
16435 | 2020-09-23 14:00:00.000 | 2629899.9
16436 | 2020-09-23 22:00:00.000 | 2630600.5

I want to subtract the first value of the table from last value from the table. Yes this not the all data that this table has. The values are from @DataStart to @DataStop.

What I have tried:

I've tried :

SELECT	
		(p2.[CM1-Ea]-p1.[CM1-Ea]) AS Diff
	FROM 
		[DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p1,
		[DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p2
	WHERE p1.DateTime IN (SELECT TOP 1 p.DateTime
							FROM [DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p
							WHERE p.DateTime BETWEEN @DataStart AND @DataStop )
		AND p2.DateTime = (SELECT TOP 1 p.DateTime
							FROM [DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p
							ORDER BY p.DateTime DESC)

If you're using SQL Server 2016 or later, you can use the FIRST_VALUE[^] and LAST_VALUE[^] functions. Depending on your indexes, this may be slightly more efficient.

SQL

SELECT TOP 1
    FIRST_VALUE([CM1-Ea]) OVER (ORDER BY [DateTime])
    - LAST_VALUE([CM1-Ea]) OVER (ORDER BY [DateTime] RANGE BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)
    As Diff
FROM
    [DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII]
WHERE
    [DateTime] Between @DataStart And @DataStop
;

NB: The RANGE BETWEEN clause is required on the LAST_VALUE call, otherwise the function will not take any rows after the first row into account.

Solution 1

Try:

SQL

SELECT  b.[CM1-Ea] - a.[CM1-Ea] FROM 
   (SELECT TOP 1 [DateTime], [CM1-Ea] FROM TBL_ENERGII ORDER BY DateTime ASC) a,
   (SELECT TOP 1 [DateTime], [CM1-Ea] FROM TBL_ENERGII ORDER BY DateTime DESC) b

Paul, why to use subquery if there's a MIN and MAX function? Take a look at my answer.

OriginalGriff 28-Sep-20 6:26am

Because it's not the max or min CM1-Ea values he wants to subtract, it's the CM1-Ea values associated with the max and min DateTime values he's interested in.

Yes @OriginalGriff is right, sorry if it was not that obvious

I figure it out on my own, istead of using p1.DateTime and p2.DateTime I used p.ID and p2.ID and it does provide the data I wanted.

SELECT	
		(p2.[CM1-Ea]-p1.[CM1-Ea]) AS Diff
	FROM 
		[DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p1,
		[DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p2
	WHERE p1.ID IN (SELECT TOP 1 p.ID
							FROM [DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p
							WHERE p.DateTime BETWEEN @DataStart AND @DataStop )
		AND p2.ID = (SELECT TOP 1 p.ID
							FROM [DBScadaCloudPrutulLogger].[dbo].[TBL_ENERGII] p
							WHERE p.DateTime BETWEEN @DataStart AND @DataStop
							ORDER BY p.DateTime DESC)
