I have a question on a SQL query and im wondering where to start. Thoughts so far include creating a table in memory with a range of dates, and joining on to it to get the sum of hours entered for a particular day.

Just to give an idea of the background of this question here is a little information.

The database is structured like so:
enter image description here

The result im trying to achieve with the query im currently writing needs to look like this:
enter image description here

The Query I have written so far:

DECLARE @Deleted AS BIT
DECLARE @WeekStartDate AS DATETIME
DECLARE @WeekEndDate AS DATETIME

SET @Deleted = 0
SET @WeekStartDate = '2011/05/01 00:00'
SET @WeekEndDate = '2011/05/07 00:00'

SELECT 
[JobSheet].[JobSheetDate],
[JobSheet].[ContractID],
[JobSheet].[ContractCode],
[JobSheet].[ContractTitle],
[JobSheet].[ProjectID],
[JobSheet].[ProjectCode],
[JobSheet].[ProjectTitle],
[JobSheet].[JobID],
[JobSheet].[JobCode],
[JobSheet].[JobTitle],
[JobSheet].[SageDatabaseID],
[JobSheetLineHours].[CostRateCode],
SUM([JobSheetLineHours].[Hours]) AS TotalCostRateHours,
'???' AS 'Mon',
'???' AS 'Tue',
'???' AS 'Wed',
'???' AS 'Thu',
'???' AS 'Fri',
'???' AS 'Sat',
'???' AS 'Sun'

FROM [JobSheet]

INNER JOIN [JobSheetLine]
ON  [JobSheetLine].[JobSheetID]
=   [JobSheet].[JobSheetID]

INNER JOIN [JobSheetLineHours]
ON  [JobSheetLineHours].[JobSheetLineID]
=   [JobSheetLine].[JobSheetLineID]

WHERE 
    [JobSheet].[Deleted]=@Deleted
AND [JobSheet].[JobSheetDate] >= @WeekStartDate
AND [JobSheet].[JobSheetDate] <= @WeekEndDate
AND [JobSheetLine].[Deleted]=@Deleted
AND [JobSheetLineHours].[Deleted]=@Deleted

GROUP BY 
    [JobSheet].[JobSheetDate],
    [JobSheet].[ContractID],
    [JobSheet].[ContractCode],
    [JobSheet].[ContractTitle],
    [JobSheet].[ProjectID],
    [JobSheet].[ProjectCode],
    [JobSheet].[ProjectTitle],
    [JobSheet].[JobID],
    [JobSheet].[JobCode],
    [JobSheet].[JobTitle],
    [JobSheet].[SageDatabaseID],
    [JobSheetLineHours].[CostRateCode]

And this outputs the result set below:
enter image description here

As you can see the result set is almost there, I just need to total the number of hours worked on that particular day, grouping on ContractID, JobID, ProjectID, CostRateCode so I can get the number of hours for each cost rate on each unique project.

Is this possible with the current table design? or by using a temporary calendar table for the dates between the two passed in to the query?

EDIT:

    END,
    CASE DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheet.JobSheetDate) WHEN 7 
    THEN     JobSheetLineHours.Hours 
    END

Updated Result Set:
enter image description here

What I’m trying to do now is remove the JobSheetDate from the result set so the Total hours for each day are not all on seperate rows eg. The values for the same contract, project etc are put in the same row, but in the Mon, Tues, Wed etc column, rather than on multiple rows with the hours for one day populated, and the rest of the days null (see screenshot)

I look into it using the sample table scheme. Hope it will help you. Never underwent such situation. Glad to learn something new today. Thanks for the Post WraithNath

create table #temp
(
    projectId int,
    ContractID int,
    CostRateCode varchar(10),
    JobSheetDate datetime,
    Hours Int   
)

I inserted few records like below

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 1, 'A', '2011-06-02 22:00:35.337', 1)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 1, 'A', '2011-06-01 22:00:35.337', 2)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 1, 'A', '2011-05-31 22:00:35.337', 3)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 1, 'A', '2011-06-03 22:00:35.337', 6)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 1, 'A', '2011-05-30 22:00:35.337', 5)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 2, 'B', '2011-05-31 22:00:35.337', 4)

Insert into #temp(projectId, ContractID, CostRateCode, JobSheetDate, Hours)
Values(1, 2, 'B', '2011-06-01 22:00:35.337', 7)

Following is the situation after insertion

enter image description here

Finally the select statement

SET DATEFIRST 1

Select projectId ,ContractID ,CostRateCode,Sum(Hours) Total,
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 1 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Mon',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 2 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Tue',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 3 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Wed',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 4 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Thu',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 5 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Fri',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 6 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Sat',
SUM(Case When DATEPART(WEEKDAY, JobSheetDate) = 7 Then Hours Else 0 End) as 'Sun'
From #temp
Group By projectId ,ContractID ,CostRateCode

Drop table #temp

ResultSet
