In this video we will discuss how to calculate running total in SQL Server 2012 and later versions.

(追記) (追記ここまで)

We will use the following Employees table for the examples in this video.
running total sql server

SQL Script to create Employees table
CreateTableEmployees
(
Id int primary key,
Name nvarchar(50),
Gender nvarchar(10),
Salary int
)
Go

Insert Into Employees Values (1, 'Mark', 'Male', 5000)
Insert Into Employees Values (2, 'John', 'Male', 4500)
Insert Into Employees Values (3, 'Pam', 'Female', 5500)
Insert Into Employees Values (4, 'Sara', 'Female', 4000)
Insert Into Employees Values (5, 'Todd', 'Male', 3500)
Insert Into Employees Values (6, 'Mary', 'Female', 5000)
Insert Into Employees Values (7, 'Ben', 'Male', 6500)
Insert Into Employees Values (8, 'Jodi', 'Female', 7000)
Insert Into Employees Values (9, 'Tom', 'Male', 5500)
Insert Into Employees Values (10, 'Ron', 'Male', 5000)
Go

SQL Query to compute running total without partitions
SELECT Name, Gender, Salary,
SUM(Salary) OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RunningTotal
FROMEmployees

calculate running total in SQL Server 2012

SQL Query to compute running total with partitions
SELECTName,Gender,Salary,
SUM(Salary) OVER (PARTITION BY Gender ORDER BY ID) AS RunningTotal
FROM Employees

running total column

What happens if I use order by on Salary column
If you have duplicate values in the Salary column, all the duplicate values will be added to the running total at once. In the example below notice that we have 5000 repeated 3 times. So 15000 (i.e 5000 + 5000 + 5000) is added to the running total at once.

SELECT Name, Gender, Salary,
SUM(Salary) OVER (ORDER BY Salary) AS RunningTotal
FROM Employees



So when computing running total, it is better to use a column that has unique data in the ORDER BY clause.

    1. 'D' Will be small 'd'. Look here what you initialize :- "Id int primary key"

      Delete
    2. The small 'd' isn't the one making difference (since sql server variables are case insensitive)

      BUT the version of sql server,
      I guess it is below 2012 (in which this feature was launched)

  4. In case of duplicate salary use below query

    SELECT Name, Gender, Salary,
    SUM(Salary) OVER (ORDER BY Salary Rows Between UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING and CURRENT ROW ) AS RunningTotal
    FROM Employees
