How to get cumulative sum

Question

declare  @t table
    (
        id int,
        SomeNumt int
    )

insert into @t
select 1,10
union
select 2,12
union
select 3,3
union
select 4,15
union
select 5,23


select * from @t

the above select returns me the following.

id  SomeNumt
1   10
2   12
3   3
4   15
5   23

How do i get the following

id  srome   CumSrome
1   10  10
2   12  22
3   3   25
4   15  40
5   23  63

Answer 1

The latest version of SQL Server (2012) permits the following.

SELECT 
    RowID, 
    Col1,
    SUM(Col1) OVER(ORDER BY RowId ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Col2
FROM tablehh
ORDER BY RowId

or

SELECT 
    GroupID, 
    RowID, 
    Col1,
    SUM(Col1) OVER(PARTITION BY GroupID ORDER BY RowId ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Col2
FROM tablehh
ORDER BY RowId

This is even faster. Partitioned version completes in 34 seconds over 5 million rows for me.

Answer 2

Lets first create a table with dummy data -->

Create Table CUMULATIVESUM (id tinyint , SomeValue tinyint)

**Now let put some data in the table**

Insert Into CUMULATIVESUM

Select 1, 10 union 
Select 2, 2  union
Select 3, 6  union
Select 4, 10 

here i am joining same table (SELF Joining)

Select c1.ID, c1.SomeValue, c2.SomeValue
From CumulativeSum c1,  CumulativeSum c2
Where c1.id >= c2.ID
Order By c1.id Asc

RESULT :

ID  SomeValue   SomeValue
1   10          10
2   2           10
2   2            2
3   6           10
3   6            2
3   6            6
4   10          10
4   10           2
4   10           6
4   10          10

here we go now just sum the Somevalue of t2 and we`ll get the ans

Select c1.ID, c1.SomeValue, Sum(c2.SomeValue) CumulativeSumValue
From CumulativeSum c1,  CumulativeSum c2
Where c1.id >= c2.ID
Group By c1.ID, c1.SomeValue
Order By c1.id Asc

FOR SQL SERVER 2012 and above(Much better perform)

Select c1.ID, c1.SomeValue, 
SUM (SomeValue) OVER (ORDER BY c1.ID )
From CumulativeSum c1
Order By c1.id Asc

Desired Result

ID  SomeValue   CumlativeSumValue
1   10          10
2   2           12
3   6           18
4   10          28

Drop Table CumulativeSum

Clear the dummytable

Answer 3

There is a much faster CTE implementation available in this excellent post: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/archive/2009/07/28/SQL-Server-2005-Fast-Running-Totals.aspx

The problem in this thread can be expressed like this:

    DECLARE @RT INT
    SELECT @RT = 0

    ;
    WITH  abcd
            AS ( SELECT TOP 100 percent
                        id
                       ,SomeNumt
                       ,MySum
                       order by id
               )
      update abcd
      set @RT = MySum = @RT + SomeNumt
      output inserted.*

Answer 4

The SQL solution wich combines "ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW" and "SUM" did exactly what i wanted to achieve. Thank you so much!

If it can help anyone, here was my case. I wanted to cumulate +1 in a column whenever a maker is found as "Some Maker" (example). If not, no increment but show previous increment result.

So this piece of SQL:

SUM( CASE [rmaker] WHEN 'Some Maker' THEN  1 ELSE 0 END) 
OVER 
(PARTITION BY UserID ORDER BY UserID,[rrank] ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Cumul_CNT

Allowed me to get something like this:

User 1  Rank1   MakerA      0  
User 1  Rank2   MakerB      0  
User 1  Rank3   Some Maker  1  
User 1  Rank4   Some Maker  2  
User 1  Rank5   MakerC      2
User 1  Rank6   Some Maker  3  
User 2  Rank1   MakerA      0  
User 2  Rank2   SomeMaker   1  

Explanation of above: It starts the count of "some maker" with 0, Some Maker is found and we do +1. For User 1, MakerC is found so we dont do +1 but instead vertical count of Some Maker is stuck to 2 until next row. Partitioning is by User so when we change user, cumulative count is back to zero.

I am at work, I dont want any merit on this answer, just say thank you and show my example in case someone is in the same situation. I was trying to combine SUM and PARTITION but the amazing syntax "ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW" completed the task.

Thanks! Groaker

Answer 5

select t1.id, t1.SomeNumt, SUM(t2.SomeNumt) as sum
from @t t1
inner join @t t2 on t1.id >= t2.id
group by t1.id, t1.SomeNumt
order by t1.id

SQL Fiddle example

Output

| ID | SOMENUMT | SUM |
-----------------------
|  1 |       10 |  10 |
|  2 |       12 |  22 |
|  3 |        3 |  25 |
|  4 |       15 |  40 |
|  5 |       23 |  63 |

Edit: this is a generalized solution that will work across most db platforms. When there is a better solution available for your specific platform (e.g., gareth's), use it!

Answer 6

Try this:

CREATE TABLE #t(
 [name] varchar NULL,
 [val] [int] NULL,
 [ID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

insert into #t (id,name,val) values
 (1,'A',10), (2,'B',20), (3,'C',30)

select t1.id, t1.val, SUM(t2.val) as cumSum
 from #t t1 inner join #t t2 on t1.id >= t2.id
 group by t1.id, t1.val order by t1.id
