I am new to SQL and I have some problems with the last step in a bit complicated SQL Query. I want to count how many times in the table, two different values ββare displayed in more than 1 row.
My specific scenario is that my table also stores messages / warnings and the system. These alerts are sent to several people who need to respond. I want to calculate how many of the recipients answered each alert.
I edited my request to the part I'm stuck on, here's what:
SELECT DISTINCT AlertID, count(RecipientID) - count(Distinct RecipientID) as Replies,
FROM [myDB].[dbo].[Alerts]
This query shows how many messages each notification contains, not including the original message for each recipient from the system. The problem is that if someone responds twice to one warning, he counts as two answers, since they refer to 1 (this is what I want).
I thought I could do this by counting each DISTINCT AlertID and how many times the DISTINCT recipient IDs appear with AlertID in more than 1 line. It doesnβt matter if someone answered twice, because if there are more than one, he is considered the only answer. I have problems with work.
My data is as follows:
RecipientID MsgContents SentBy AlertID
12345 Msg1 mySystem 11111
98765 Msg1 MySystem 11111
12345 1st Reply to Msg1 John Doe 11111
12345 2nd Reply to Msg1 John Doe 11111
98765 reply to Msg1 Mike Smith 11111
12345 Msg3 mySystem 33333
12345 Reply to Msg3 John Doe 33333
12345 Msg2 mySystem 99999
I would like the query result to be:
AlertID Replies
11111 2
33333 1
99999 0
