I am struggling to work out combining a query that should give me 3 columns of Month, total_sold_products and drinks_sold_products
Query 1:
Select month(date), count(id) as total_sold_products
from Products
where date between '2022-01-01' and '2022-12-31'
Query 2
Select month(date), count(id) as drinks_sold_products
from Products where type = 'drinks' and date between '2022-01-01' and '2022-12-31'
I tried the union function but it summed count(id) twice and gave me only 2 columns
Many thanks!
>Solution :
Union is for attacking sets of data on top of each other. You need conditional aggregation or a join. See below.
SELECT MONTH(date),
COUNT(*) AS total_sold_products,
COUNT(CASE WHEN type = 'drinks' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS drinks_sold_products
FROM Products
WHERE date BETWEEN'2022-01-01' AND '2022-12-31'
GROUP BY MONTH(date)
