sql update query on temporary table

Question

I have a temporary table like below :

  Date    Fund  NotAdded    Dividend
1/1/2017    A     0           0
1/2/2017    A     0           0
1/3/2017    A   100           0
1/4/2017    A     0         200
1/5/2017    A    50          50
1/1/2017    B     0           0
1/2/2017    B   100           0
1/3/2017    B     0         200
1/4/2017    B     0           0

I want to run a update query on above table in a way that I will get result like below:

Date      Fund  NotAdded    Dividend   Notional
1/1/2017    A     0           0         5000 (this value is known)
1/2/2017    A     0           0         5000
1/3/2017    A   100           0         5100
1/4/2017    A     0         200         5300
1/5/2017    A    50          50         5400
1/1/2017    B     0           0         2000
1/2/2017    B   100           0         2100  
1/3/2017    B     0         200         2300
1/4/2017    B     0           0         2300

For each fund, default Notional value is known. i.e. in above example 5000 for fund A and 2000 for fund B.

I tried but not able to get the desired output. Any help!!!

What does "(this value is known)" mean? It seems invented out of thin air. — Gordon Linoff, Jun 23 '17 at 11:17
Where is this new column coming from ? Is it the expected result to add a new column ? — Hybris95, Jun 23 '17 at 11:18
@GordonLinoff that value came from another query result. You can take it as example for now. :) — techV, Jun 23 '17 at 11:20
Can you add the query that recovers the Notional value for each line or do we have to guess it ? — Hybris95, Jun 23 '17 at 11:21
Is the initial value for each Fund stored in a particular table ? — Hybris95, Jun 23 '17 at 11:24
@vivek, you have two options: either calculate it on the run or alter the structure of temporary table. which one suits your needs ? — Doruk, Jun 23 '17 at 11:24
I have edited my question. default value is knows for each fund (that would be value Notional column for first entry of that fund) — techV, Jun 23 '17 at 11:24

You seem to want a cumulative sum of NotAdded and Dividend plus some random number. That latter I can't help with.

In SQL Server 2012+, you would use the cumulative sum function. In SQL Server 2008, you can use a later join (apply) or correlated subquery:

select t.*,
       (select sum(t2.NotAdded) + sum(t2.Dividend)
        from #temp t2
        where t2.fund = t.fund and
              t2.date <= t.date
       ) as Cumulative
from #temp t;

You can add the "known" value to cumulative to get the final value.

If you want this as an update:

update t
    set notional = notional + 
                   (select sum(t2.NotAdded) + sum(t2.Dividend)
                    from #temp t2
                    where t2.fund = t.fund and
                          t2.date <= t.date
                   )
    from #temp t;

This assumes that notional starts with the value in question.

You may use a COMPUTED column with a LAG function to SUM your columns considering the preceding row value..

Just OVER against your Fund and Date columns. The use of a primary key would be preferred, but if you've got none I guess it'll do the job for now.

Assuming that this is once off issue and not a permanent issue. I have come up with the following solution based on the following link :

How to get cumulative sum

I will do brief explanation of what I have done and then you can look at the code below.

First I created a temp table to imitate your temp table with one change, I insert an identity(1,1). This is required for the calculation part.

Then I inserted the data you had with the "known value" for the first row with fund type a (5000) and the first fund type b (2000).

Then there is two inserts into a temp table where the first main table joins onto itself and adds its NotAdded + Dividend + Notional values together from the second higher id (identity field) to the lower id.

After that all that is left to do is update your original table where the id's match. Please see code below.

--create temp table
DECLARE @TEMP TABLE 
(
    [id] INT IDENTITY(1,1), 
    [DATE] [datetime] NULL,
    [Fund] [varchar](1) NULL,
    [NotAdded] [int] NULL,
    [Dividend] [int] NULL,
    [Notional] [int] NULL   
)


--insert into temp table with first known value
INSERT INTO @TEMP ([DATE], [Fund], [NotAdded], [Dividend], Notional)
VALUES  ('1/1/2017','A',0,0,5000), --First value of A is known
        ('1/2/2017','A',0,0,0),
        ('1/3/2017','A',100,0,0),
        ('1/4/2017','A',0,200,0),
        ('1/5/2017','A',50,50,0),
        ('1/1/2017','B',0,0,2000), --First value of B is known
        ('1/2/2017','B',100,0,0),
        ('1/3/2017','B',0,200,0),
        ('1/4/2017','B',0,0,0)

--select into temp table for type a so that we can update the @temp table later 
SELECT T.id, T.Fund, T.NotAdded, T.Dividend, SUM(T2.NotAdded + T2.Dividend + T2.Notional)  AS Notional_Sum
INTO #TEMP_A
FROM @TEMP T 
    INNER JOIN @TEMP t2 on T.id >= t2.id
                        AND T2.Fund = T.Fund
WHERE 1=1
    AND T.Fund = 'A'
GROUP BY T.id, T.Fund,T.NotAdded, T.Dividend
ORDER BY T.id

--select into temp table for type b so that we can update the @temp table later 
SELECT T.id, T.Fund, T.NotAdded, T.Dividend, SUM(T2.NotAdded + T2.Dividend + T2.Notional)  AS Notional_Sum
INTO #TEMP_B
FROM @TEMP T 
    INNER JOIN @TEMP t2 on T.id >= t2.id
                        AND T2.Fund = T.Fund
WHERE 1=1
    AND T.Fund = 'B'
GROUP BY T.id, T.Fund,T.NotAdded, T.Dividend
ORDER BY T.id

--finally do updates
UPDATE T
SET T.Notional = TTS.Notional_Sum
FROM @TEMP T
        INNER JOIN #TEMP_A TTS ON TTS.id = T.id
WHERE 1=1

UPDATE T
SET T.Notional = TTS.Notional_Sum
FROM @TEMP T
        INNER JOIN #TEMP_B TTS ON TTS.id = T.id
WHERE 1=1


--select to view
SELECT  * FROM @TEMP

--drop temp tables
DROP TABLE #TEMP_A, #TEMP_B
