I've been playing with this for days, and can't seem to come up with something. I have this query:
select
v.emp_name as Name
,MONTH(v.YearMonth) as m
,v.SalesTotal as Amount
from SalesTotals
Which gives me these results:
Name m Amount
Smith 1 123.50
Smith 2 40.21
Smith 3 444.21
Smith 4 23.21
Jones 1 121.00
Jones 2 499.00
Jones 3 23.23
Jones 4 41.82
etc....
What I need to do is use a JOIN or something, so that I get a NULL value for each month (1-12), for each name:
Name m Amount
Smith 1 123.50
Smith 2 40.21
Smith 3 444.21
Smith 4 23.21
Smith 5 NULL
Smith 6 NULL
Smith ... NULL
Smith 12 NULL
Jones 1 121.00
Jones 2 499.00
Jones 3 23.23
Jones 4 41.82
Jones 5 NULL
Jones ... NULL
Jones 12 NULL
etc....
I have a "Numbers" table, and have tried doing:
select
v.emp_name as Name
,MONTH(v.YearMonth) as m
,v.SalesTotal as Amount
from SalesTotals
FULL JOIN Number n on n.Number = MONTH(v.YearMonth) and n in(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12)
But that only gives me 6 additional NULL rows, where what I want is actually 6 NULL rows for each group of names. I've tried using Group By, but not sure how to use it in a JOIN statement like that, and not even sure if that's the correct route to take.
Any advice or direction is much appreciated!
