Select data from tables, if certain criteria is true then select max date for the records that are true












0















I am using tableau 10.5 custom Sql pulling from an Oracle DB and would like to query off of the five tables in the picture. I have seen posts on here about pulling data based on max date if two values are the same but what I'm looking for is a little different. I want to select:



mnemonic,
problem_id,
create_date,
env_name


but when mnemonic, problem_id, and env_name are all the same I would like to only pull the record with the latest create_date. In my actual scenario there are other values I want selected but I left those out of this post to simplify it. 1



I would greatly appreciate any help or points in the right direction!



Thanks,
Alex

If I understand correctly, then you want to select those columns:




  • MNEMONIC from TABLE4

  • PROBLEM_ID from TABLE3

  • biggest CREATE_DATE from CREATE_DATE when other columns are the same

  • ENV_NAME from TABLE2


Simply using LEFT JOIN and GROUP BY to get what you want:



SELECT TABLE4.MNEMONIC,
TABLE3.PROBLEM_ID,
MAX(TABLE1.CREATE_DATE) CREATE_DATE,
TABLE2.ENV_NAME
FROM TABLE1
LEFT JOIN TABLE2
ON (TABLE1.ENVIRONMENT_ID = TABLE2.ID)
LEFT JOIN TABLE3
ON (TABLE1.PROBLEM_ID = TABLE3.ID)
LEFT JOIN TABLE4
ON (TABLE1.MNEMONIC = TABLE4.ID)
GROUP BY TABLE4.MNEMONIC,
TABLE3.PROBLEM_ID,
TABLE2.ENV_NAME;


P/s: You should review your table design. The column's name makes the viewer a little bit confuse. If I understand incorrect, then you got the idea to join and get information from multi tables.
