Calculating percentages with GROUP BY query

Question

I have a table with 3 columns which looks like this:

File    User     Rating (1-5)
------------------------------
00001    1        3
00002    1        4
000         


        

Answer 1

WITH data AS 
 (SELECT User, Rating, Count(*) AS Count 
  FROM Results
  GROUP BY User, Rating)
SELECT User, Rating, Count, 
       (0.0+n)/(SUM(Count) OVER (PARTITION BY User))
FROM data;

Answer 2

In TSQL this should work

SELECT
    User,
    Rating,
    Count(*), SUM(COUNT(*)) OVER (PARTITION BY User, Rating ORDER BY User, Rating) AS Total,
Count(*)/(SUM(COUNT(*)) OVER (PARTITION BY User, Rating ORDER BY User, Rating)) AS Percentage
FROM
    Results
GROUP BY
    User, Rating
ORDER BY
    User, Rating

Answer 3

WITH t1 AS 
 (SELECT User, Rating, Count(*) AS n 
  FROM your_table
  GROUP BY User, Rating)
SELECT User, Rating, n, 
       (0.0+n)/(COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY User)) -- no integer divide!
FROM t1;

Or

SELECT User, Rating, Count(*) OVER w_user_rating AS n, 
        (0.0+Count(*) OVER w_user_rating)/(Count(*) OVER (PARTITION BY User)) AS pct
FROM your_table
WINDOW w_user_rating AS (PARTITION BY User, Rating);

I would see if one of these or the other yields a better query plan with the appropriate tool for your RDBMS.

Answer 4

The best way to do this would be with window functions.

Answer 5

Alternatively, you can do the old-school way — arguably easier to grok:

select usr.User                   as User   ,
       usr.Rating                 as Rating ,
       usr.N                      as N      ,
       (100.0 * item.N) / total.N as Pct
from ( select User, Rating , count(*) as N
       from Results
       group by User , Rating
     ) usr
join ( select User , count(*) as N
       from Results
       group by User
     ) total on total.User = usr.User
order by usr.User, usr.Rating

Cheers!
