Question

Im kinda new to SQL Server and am using the 2005 version.

What I need to be able to do is calculate the number of repeat calls that come in.

The table I have called EP_Call_Int has columns called “Daily_Dispo_Date” (datetime) , “Login” (nvarchar(35)), “Policy” (int), “Dispo” (Nvarcar(50)) and has data that looks like this:

Daily_Dispo_Date     Login    Policy  Dispo

I have all the test data in a SQL Fiddle Link http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/0de9c

What im trying to do is count the number of repeat calls our company gets. How I need to count them is by using a time range of 5 minutes to 3 days. So the firstdate will be the first time that person calls in, if they call in again it cant count as a double hit against the same person.

So what im trying to get my final result to look like is:

Daily_Dispo_Date    Dispo             Total_Calls   Total_Repeating
2012-03-01          Cancellation      2             1
2012-03-01          Payment           2             0
2012-03-01          Billing Question  3             2
2012-03-02          Payment           3             0
2012-03-02          Cancellation      1             1
2012-03-02          Billing Question  3             2
2012-03-03          Cancellation      3             0
2012-03-03          Payment           3             0

The Query I have so far looks like this:

DECLARE @Start DATETIME, @End DATETIME
SET @Start = '20120401'
SET @End = '20120403'
;With [Find_First_Call] As
(
  Select 
     [Policy]
    ,[Dispo]
    ,Min([Daily_Dispo_Date]) As [Call_Date] --need to figure out how to have reset after each call
  From [EP_Call_Int]
  Group By [Policy], [Dispo]
)
Select 
  DateAdd(dd, DateDiff(dd, 0, [Daily_Dispo_Date]), 0) As [Daily_Dispo_Date]
, [Dispo]
, Count([Dispo]) As [Total_Calls]
,(
 Select
   Count([EP_Call_Int2].[Dispo])
 From [EP_Call_Int] as [EP_Call_Int2]
   Left Join [Find_First_Call] as [Find_First_Call] On [Find_First_Call].[Policy] = [EP_Call_Int].[Policy]
   And [Find_First_Call].[Dispo] = [EP_Call_Int].[Dispo]
 Where [EP_Call_Int2].[Daily_Dispo_Date] >= DateAdd(n, 5, [Find_First_Call].[Call_Date])
   And [EP_Call_Int2].[Daily_Dispo_Date] <= DateAdd(dd, 3, [Find_First_Call].[Call_Date])
   And DateAdd(dd, 0, [EP_Call_Int].[Daily_Dispo_Date]), 0) = DateAdd(dd, 0, [EP_Call_Int2].[Daily_Dispo_Date]), 0)
) As [Total_Repeat_Calls]
From [EP_Call_Int]
Where [Daily_Dispo_Date] Between @Start And @End
And [Policy] Like '[4]____'
Group By DateAdd(dd, [Daily_Dispo_Date], 0), [Dispo]
Order By [Daily_Dispo_Date], [Total_Calls] Desc

So in short if someone calls in 3 times over the course of 3 days for the same reason it will count as 2 call backs. If they call on day 1, 2, and 3 i need it to show a repeat on day 1 and 2.

Answer 1

I’m not sure I got all the rules right, but I think this might do it:

;with Call_ordinal_no as (
  select 
    convert(date, [Daily_Dispo_Date]) as CallDate,
    [Login],
    [Dispo],
    row_number() over (
      partition by 
        convert(date, [Daily_Dispo_Date]),
        [Login],
        [Dispo]
      order by [Daily_Dispo_Date]
    ) as CallNumber
  from [EP_Call_Int]
)
select 
  CallDate as Daily_Dispo_Date,
  Dispo,
  count(*) as Total_Calls,
  sum(case when CallNumber > 1 then 1 else 0 end) as Total_Repeating
from Call_ordinal_no
group by CallDate, Dispo
order by CallDate;

Update:

After discussing the rules in more depth, I think this is the correct SQL:

;with calls as (
  select 
    DateAdd(dd, DateDiff(dd, 0, c.[Daily_Dispo_Date]), 0) as CallDate,
    c.[Login],
    c.[Dispo],
    c.[Policy],
    case 
      when first.[Login] is null then 0
      else 1 
    end as IsRepeat
  from [EP_Call_Int] c
  left join [EP_Call_Int] first
    on c.[Login] = first.[Login]
    and c.[Dispo] = first.[Dispo]
    and c.[Policy] = first.[Policy]
    and datediff(minute, first.[Daily_Dispo_Date], c.[Daily_Dispo_Date])
      between 5 and 3 * 24 * 60
)
select 
  CallDate,
  Dispo,
  count(*) as Total_Calls,
  sum(IsRepeat) as Total_Repeating
from calls
group by CallDate, Dispo
order by CallDate, Dispo
