use fields from different tables group by date to calculate percentage
Hi, I am trying to calculate a percentage using two fields from two different tables in SQL Magic Transformation.
Table a
looks like this:
Date All Revenue 09/01/21 100 09/02/21 200
Table b
looks like this:
Date HDM Revenue 09/01/21 90 09/02/21 170
I need to build a table that would calculate the percentage of HDM Revenue, with the following formula: (`Sum HDM Revenue` * 100) / `Sum All Revenue`
The desired output is:
Date HDM Percentage 09/01/21 90 09/02/21 85
When I run the following query I have an error: `Subquery returns more than 1 row.`
SELECT `Date`, ((select `HDM Revenue` from `b`) * 100) / `All Revenue` as `dfp HDM Percentage` from `a` group by `Date`
I also tried to group the subquery by Date
. How would I indicate the corresponding rows?
Thank you! :)

Hi @user095063
You need to join your two tables together since you have one table for all your revenue and another for your HDM revenue. Try something like this:
select `a`.`Date`, SUM(`b`.`HDM Revenue`) / SUM(`a`.`All Revenue`) FROM `a` LEFT JOIN `b` ON `a`.`Date` = `b`.`Date` GROUP BY `a`.`Date`

I would not get into the habit of JOINING fact tables this will lead to heartache and row growth. if you continue down this path you tend to end up with a ton of single use datasets that only work for the card they power.
instead UNION the two tables together (usually I like to differentiate with an Activity Type column.
then you can take a nice clean sum(colA)/ sum(colB) in Analyzer.
even though it seems simple, @GrantSmith 's GROUP BY clause means that you no longer have any drill down capability. That's super limiting for your business users...

Hi @user095063, have you tried adding MAX before 'HDM Revenue'?
