Question

I’m using sql server 2008. I’m doing a query which is going to be used by a SSIS.

I have this data on a select:

  Master_Code   Jan 
    1            4
    2            5

I would like to add a total on the last row like this:

  Master_Code   Jan 
    1            4
    2            5
    Total        9

Is good practice to do this from sql or should I do this total from SSIS?

Answer 1

You can easily do this with a UNION ALL. The key is that that master_code field must be the same data type as the string total so you will have to convert it:

select cast(master_code as varchar(10)) master_code, jan
from yourtable
union all
select 'Total', sum(jan)
from yourtable

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

Or you can use GROUP BY with ROLLUP:

select 
  case 
    when master_code is not null 
    then cast(master_code as varchar(10)) else 'total' end master_code, 
  sum(jan) Jan
from yourtable
group by master_code with rollup
