How to calculate moving sum with reset based on condition in teradata SQL?

Question

I have this data and I want to sum the field USAGE_FLAG but reset when it drops to 0 or moves to a new ID keeping the dataset ordered by SU_ID and WEEK:

SU_ID   WEEK    USAGE_FLAG
100        1    0
100        2    7
100        3    7
100        4    0
101        1    0
101        2    7
101        3    0
101        4    7
102        1    7
102        2    7
102        3    7
102        4    0

So I want to create this table:

SU_ID   WEEK    USAGE_FLAG    SUM
100        1    0             0
100        2    7             7
100        3    7             14
100        4    0             0
101        1    0             0
101        2    7             7
101        3    0             0
101        4    7             7
102        1    7             7
102        2    7             14
102        3    7             21
102        4    0             0

I have tried the MSUM() function using GROUP BY but it won't keep the order I want above. It groups the 7's and the week numbers together which I don't want.

Anyone know if this is possible to do? I'm using teradata

Answer 1

In standard SQL a running sum can be done using a windowing function:

select su_id,
       week,
       usage_flag, 
       sum(usage_flag) over (partition by su_id order by week) as running_sum
from the_table;

I know Teradata supports windowing functions, I just don't know whether it also supports an order by in the window definition.

Resetting the sum is a bit more complicated. You first need to create "group IDs" that change each time the usage_flag goes to 0. The following works in PostgreSQL, I don't know if this works in Teradata as well:

select su_id,
       week,
       usage_flag,
       sum(usage_flag) over (partition by su_id, group_nr order by week) as running_sum
from (
  select t1.*,
         sum(group_flag) over (partition by su_id order by week) as group_nr
  from (
      select *,
             case
                when usage_flag = 0 then 1
                else 0
              end as group_flag
      from the_table
  ) t1
) t2
order by su_id, week;

Answer 2

Try below code, with use of RESET function it is working fine.

select su_id,
       week,
       usage_flag, 
       SUM(usage_flag) OVER (
        PARTITION BY su_id
        ORDER BY week
        RESET WHEN usage_flag < /* preceding row */ SUM(usage_flag) OVER (
             PARTITION BY su_id ORDER BY week
             ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 PRECEDING)
        ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
   )
from emp_su;

Answer 3

Please try below SQL:

select su_id,
       week,
       usage_flag, 
       SUM(usage_flag) OVER (PARTITION BY su_id ORDER BY week
        RESET WHEN usage_flag = 0 
        ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
   )
from emp_su;

Here RESET WHEN usage_flag = 0 will reset sum whenever sum usage_flag drops to 0
