SUM of CASE in Beast Mode
Hi,
I am trying to sum a column based on date value output from another case statement, but i dont see anything getting calculated when i check the formula.
there are no formula validation issues.
SUM((CASE when (CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%d')=1
then
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=1
then 'Open Month' else
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=4
then 'Open Month' else
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=7
then 'Open Month' else
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=10
then 'Open Month' else '' end)
end)
end)
end)
else
(CASE when LAST_DAY(`Date`)=`Date`
then
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=6
then 'Close Month' else
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=9
then 'Close Month' else
(CASE when DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m')=12
then 'Close Month' else '' end)
end)
end)
else
(CASE when CURRENT_DATE()=`Date`
then 'Close Month' else '' end)
end)
end)='Open Month' then `Total_HC_Opening` end))

You're just trying to sum up Total_HC_Opening for the first day of certain months?
I think you could really simplify this:
SUM(CASE WHEN DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%d') = 1 AND DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m') IN (1,4,7,10) THEN `Total_HC_Opening` END)
Does this work?

When using DATE_FORMAT, the result is not a value, but a string. You need to use single quotes and they need to be two characters long. Something like this:
sum(case when DATE_FORMAT(`Date of Invoice`,'%d')='01' and DATE_FORMAT(`Date of Invoice`,'%m')='02' then `Sales at constant Exchange Rate` end)

I had the same thought as @ST_-Superman-_ but it actually works for me as-is.
SUM(CASE WHEN DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%d') = 1 AND DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m') IN (1,4,7,10) THEN `Value1` END)
See attached table sum file.
Also from this site the other attachment with format explanation.

When i use only month from date format it is showing the calculation but when i add date as 1 it shows nothing, infact i tried with all possible date but comes up nothing.
