How can you display zero in a row using year and month dynamics in an interval?
I am trying to create a query to show count when SET YEAR and MONTH are 12 months apart (year and month are dynamic values - the interval is static value 12 months).
For example: given month = 12 and year = 2013
This will count from 2013-12-01 to 2014-11-30
Another example: set month = 1 and year = 2014
This will count from 2014-01-01 to 2014-12-31
I created this demo but also want to show 0 when the number of rows is not listed in the table, here I used COALESCE
SET @var_year = '2013';
SET @var_month = '12';
SET @from = STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(@var_year, '/', @var_month, '/01'), '%Y/%m/%d');
SET @to = DATE_ADD(@from, INTERVAL 12 MONTH);
SELECT COALESCE(count(created_at), 0) AS count_all,
year(created_at) as actual_year,
month(created_at)as actual_month
FROM creations
WHERE created_at BETWEEN @from AND @to
GROUP BY month(created_at),year(created_at)
ORDER BY year(created_at),month(created_at) ASC
But, unfortunately, this result came out:
count_all actual_year actual_month
1 2013 12
3 2014 1
2 2014 2
1 2014 3
1 2014 4
1 2014 5
1 2014 6
2 2014 8
1 2014 9
1 2014 10
1 2014 11
I am expecting this result:
count_all actual_year actual_month
1 2013 12
3 2014 1
2 2014 2
1 2014 3
1 2014 4
1 2014 5
1 2014 6
0 2014 7 <------ HERE I WANT 0 WHEN IS NOT IN DB
2 2014 8
1 2014 9
1 2014 10
1 2014 11
I created this live demo using month = 12 and year = 2013 , it does work, but after testing and changing the month or summer values, I got bad bills , so the query does not work correctly, for example this demo using month = 1 and year = 2013 does not work correctly
SET @var_year = '2014';
SET @var_month = '1';
SET @from = STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(@var_year, '/', @var_month, '/01'), '%Y/%m/%d');
SET @to = DATE_ADD(@from, INTERVAL 12 MONTH);
SELECT IFNULL(counter,0) as counter, literals.y AS actual_year, literals.m AS actual_month
FROM (
SELECT @var_month AS m, @var_year + 0 AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 1) % 12, (@var_month + 1) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 1) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 2) % 12, (@var_month + 2) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 2) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 3) % 12, (@var_month + 3) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 3) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 4) % 12, (@var_month + 4) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 4) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 5) % 12, (@var_month + 5) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 5) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 6) % 12, (@var_month + 6) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 6) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 7) % 12, (@var_month + 7) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 7) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 8) % 12, (@var_month + 8) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 8) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month + 9) % 12, (@var_month + 9) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month + 9) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month +10) % 12, (@var_month +10) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month +10) DIV 12) AS y
UNION SELECT IF((@var_month +11) % 12, (@var_month +11) % 12, 12) AS m, @var_year + ((@var_month +11) DIV 12) AS y)
AS literals
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT count(*) as counter, year(created_at) y, month(created_at) as m
FROM creations WHERE created_at BETWEEN @from AND @to GROUP BY month(created_at),year(created_at)
ORDER BY year(created_at),month(created_at) ASC
) AS counts
ON literals.m = counts.m AND literals.y = counts.y;
I've spent months searching for information on how to deal with this problem.
If someone can help me, is it not possible to resolve either another trick or request?
Nice puzzle :)
You can create a table that contains the year and month required for a 12 month interval, and then do an outer join:
SET @var_year = '2013'
SET @var_month = '12'
SELECT @row := @row + (case when right(@row,2) = "12" then 89 else 1 end) as YearMonth
FROM
(select 0 union all select 1 union all select 3 union all
select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
select 6 union all select 7 union all select 8 union all
select 9 union all select 10 union all select 11) t,
(SELECT @row:=CONCAT(@var_year,right(concat('0',(@var_month-1)),2))) r
Gives:
| YearMonth |
|-----------|
| 201312 |
| 201401 |
| 201402 |
| 201403 |
| 201404 |
| 201405 |
| 201406 |
| 201407 |
| 201408 |
| 201409 |
| 201410 |
| 201411 |
So try this (example from 2014 as year and 1 month):

EDITED:
You can also create a table instead of generating it in a subquery every time:

Setting up MySQL 5.5 schema :
CREATE TABLE YearMonthTable(`tblYear` int, `tblMonth` int)
;
INSERT INTO YearMonthTable

(2014,1),
(2014,2),
(2014,3),
(2014,4),
(2014,5),
(2014,6),
(2014,7),
