SQL for calc fields that sum (data is flattened) are dynamic -- based on current year
Hi there: I need help creating these calculated fields (in Beast Model) where they change based on current year. I created this in EXCEL but am still learning SQL - any help would be much appreciated!
calculated fields | |
|---|---|
cy | Sum `rtfs_amount` for each DISTINCT `Base Request ID`where `fsa_spending_year` is current year |
cy+1 | Sum `rtfs_amount` for each DISTINCT `Base Request ID`where `fsa_spending_year` is current year+1 |
cy+2 | Sum `rtfs_amount` for each DISTINCT `Base Request ID`where `fsa_spending_year` is current year + 2 |
cy+3 | Sum `rtfs_amount` for each DISTINCT `Base Request ID`where `fsa_spending_year` is current year +3 |
Here is SAMPLE data I am working with:
request_transactions_organization_payee_id | Base Request ID | rtfs_amount | fsa_spending_year |
|---|---|---|---|
700 | 1 | $22,500.00 | 2023 |
700 | 1 | $22,500.00 | 2024 |
700 | 1 | $22,500.00 | 2025 |
800 | 2 | $1,000.00 | 2023 |
800 | 2 | $1,000.00 | 2024 |
800 | 2 | $1,000.00 | 2025 |
800 | 2 | $1,000.00 | 2026 |
800 | 2 | $1,000.00 | 2027 |
900 | 3 | $200.00 | 2023 |
900 | 3 | $200.00 | 2024 |
800 | 4 | $350.00 | 2024 |
700 | 5 | $1,450.00 | 2024 |
700 | 5 | $1,450.00 | 2025 |
700 | 5 | $1,450.00 | 2026 |
700 | 5 | $1,450.00 | 2027 |

You don't need SQL. In beast mode, make a calculation such as…
CY:CASE WHEN year(`fsa_spending_year`)=year(curdate()) THEN `rfs_amount` ELSE 0 END
For previous year, subtract 365 days. Two years previous, 730 days. Etc.
PY:CASE WHEN year(`fsa_spending_year`) = year(date_sub(curdate(), interval 365 day)) THEN
rfs_amountELSE 0 END** Was this post helpful? Click Agree or Like below. **

It's because you're comparing an integer YEAR(CURDATE()) to a string (fsa_spending_year).
Try this instead
CASE WHEN CAST(`fsa_spending_year` AS INT)=year(curdate()) THEN rtfs_amount ELSE 0 END

Thanks @ArborRose - I see conceptually how it should work and I appreciate how you did that! How do I add in there that I want to SUM the rtfs_amount by fsa_spending_year for each Base Request ID. I realize I gave you too perfect of a data sample. There could be cases where the rtfs_amount exist 2-3 times in a given year so I want to add those since they represent diff sources of money within that year.

I also meant to ask: fsa_spending_year is formatted as string (abc) - do I have to convert that to integer in order to have it match to current year? Sorry, I am such a newbie.

Typically, you would do it on a date field. But I believe it will convert a string value using
YEAR(`fsa_spending_year`)
You can use aggregate functions like COUNT and SUM inside beast mode calculations. Just wrap the whole case statement in SUM(…).
It's okay to be new. I haven't been on here as long as the ancient ones. There are a lot of people here to help, just ask.** Was this post helpful? Click Agree or Like below. **

For some reason, the Beast Mode didn't work. This is the what I used:
CASE WHEN year(
fsa_spending_year)=year(curdate()) THENrtfs_amountELSE 0 ENDThis became my output. I would have expected 150000 to appear in the test(cy payments) column.
