If the percentage is of all responses, not just the non-NULL responses, divide by COUNT(*) instead:

Try this: ORDER BY CASE WHEN @col=''name'' AND @sort=''asc'' THEN (RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Name, Status)) WHEN @col=''name'' AND @sort=''desc'' THEN (RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Name DESC, Status)) WHEN @col=''status'' AND @sort=''asc'' THEN (RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Status, Name)) WHEN @col=''status'' AND @sort=''desc'' THEN (RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Status DESC, Name)) WHEN @col='''' THEN (RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Name, Status)) END

@tweety

What is exactly is the order? Cities before countries? Do you have a TABLE that lists either?

To just list them,

ORDER BY
CASE PLACE
WHEN ‘Albany’ THEN 1
WHEN ‘Anchorage’ THEN 2
WHEN ‘Carbondale’ THEN 3
WHEN ‘Des Moines’ THEN 4
WHEN ‘Nashville’ THEN 5
WHEN ‘Canada’ THEN 6
WHEN ‘China’ THEN 7
WHEN ‘England / UK’ THEN 8
WHEN ‘France’ THEN 9
WHEN ‘Hong Kong’ THEN 10
WHEN ‘Mexico’ THEN 11
WHEN ‘Russia’ THEN 12
WHEN ‘Singapore’ THEN 13
END

Pinal Dave — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:04:24 +0000

Hello Tweety,

You can get the desired result by using ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY … PARTITIONED BY) clause.

I agree with Imran Mohammed also you can add the length of the firstname as I noticed you wand the shorter firstnames first:

Select FirstName
from #tbllogin
Where FirstName like ‘%SU%’
order by charindex ( ’su’, firstname ),Len(firstname)

By: Imran Mohammed

Imran Mohammed — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:39:36 +0000

@Sumit,

Use CharIndex function to location the position of ‘SU’ Character. Below is a sample code.

create table #tbllogin (firstname varchar(200))
go
insert into #tbllogin values (‘Kumarsumit’)
insert into #tbllogin values (’sumit’)
insert into #tbllogin values (‘Kumsumit’)
insert into #tbllogin values (‘Ssumit’)
go
Select FirstName from #tbllogin
go
Select FirstName
from #tbllogin
Where FirstName like ‘%SU%’
order by charindex ( ’su’, firstname )
go
drop table #tbllogin

Puneet, you can use this trick:

ORDER BY
CASE WHEN Country=’US’ OR Country=’UK’ THEN 0
ELSE 1 END
, Country

This will order the list at first by 1 for us and uk and 0 for others then reorder it by country for those with same 1 or 0
