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

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 2

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.

Thanks to Peso, who commented on the SQL Team thread referred to in another answer.

Answer 3

For SQL Server 2012 onwards it could be easy:

SELECT id, SomeNumt, sum(SomeNumt) OVER (ORDER BY id) as CumSrome FROM @t

because ORDER BY clause for SUM by default means RANGE UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW for window frame ("General Remarks" at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189461.aspx)

Answer 4

Let's first create a table with dummy data:

Create Table CUMULATIVESUM (id tinyint , SomeValue tinyint)

Now let's insert some data into 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 answer:

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 performance):

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

Answer 5

A CTE version, just for fun:

;
WITH  abcd
        AS ( SELECT id
                   ,SomeNumt
                   ,SomeNumt AS MySum
             FROM   @t
             WHERE  id = 1
             UNION ALL
             SELECT t.id
                   ,t.SomeNumt
                   ,t.SomeNumt + a.MySum AS MySum
             FROM   @t AS t
                    JOIN abcd AS a ON a.id = t.id - 1
           )
  SELECT  *  FROM    abcd
OPTION  ( MAXRECURSION 1000 ) -- limit recursion here, or 0 for no limit.

Returns:

id          SomeNumt    MySum
----------- ----------- -----------
1           10          10
2           12          22
3           3           25
4           15          40
5           23          63

Answer 6

Late answer but showing one more possibility...

Cumulative Sum generation can be more optimized with the CROSS APPLY logic.

Works better than the INNER JOIN & OVER Clause when analyzed the actual query plan ...

/* Create table & populate data */
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TMP') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #TMP 

SELECT * INTO #TMP 
FROM (
SELECT 1 AS id
UNION 
SELECT 2 AS id
UNION 
SELECT 3 AS id
UNION 
SELECT 4 AS id
UNION 
SELECT 5 AS id
) Tab


/* Using CROSS APPLY 
Query cost relative to the batch 17%
*/    
SELECT   T1.id, 
         T2.CumSum 
FROM     #TMP T1 
         CROSS APPLY ( 
         SELECT   SUM(T2.id) AS CumSum 
         FROM     #TMP T2 
         WHERE    T1.id >= T2.id
         ) T2

/* Using INNER JOIN 
Query cost relative to the batch 46%
*/
SELECT   T1.id, 
         SUM(T2.id) CumSum
FROM     #TMP T1
         INNER JOIN #TMP T2
                 ON T1.id > = T2.id
GROUP BY T1.id

/* Using OVER clause
Query cost relative to the batch 37%
*/
SELECT   T1.id, 
         SUM(T1.id) OVER( PARTITION BY id)
FROM     #TMP T1

Output:-
  id       CumSum
-------   ------- 
   1         1
   2         3
   3         6
   4         10
   5         15

Answer 7

Select 
    *, 
    (Select Sum(SOMENUMT) 
     From @t S 
     Where S.id <= M.id)
From @t M

Answer 8

You can use this simple query for progressive calculation :

select 
   id
  ,SomeNumt
  ,sum(SomeNumt) over(order by id ROWS between UNBOUNDED PRECEDING and CURRENT ROW) as CumSrome
from @t

Answer 9

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 10

For Ex: IF you have a table with two columns one is ID and second is number and wants to find out the cumulative sum.

SELECT ID,Number,SUM(Number)OVER(ORDER BY ID) FROM T

Answer 11

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 12

Once the table is created -

select 
    A.id, A.SomeNumt, SUM(B.SomeNumt) as sum
    from @t A, @t B where A.id >= B.id
    group by A.id, A.SomeNumt

order by A.id

Answer 13

Above (Pre-SQL12) we see examples like this:-

SELECT
    T1.id, SUM(T2.id) AS CumSum
FROM 
    #TMP T1
    JOIN #TMP T2 ON T2.id < = T1.id
GROUP BY
    T1.id

More efficient...

SELECT
    T1.id, SUM(T2.id) + T1.id AS CumSum
FROM 
    #TMP T1
    JOIN #TMP T2 ON T2.id < T1.id
GROUP BY
    T1.id

Answer 14

Try this

select 
    t.id,
    t.SomeNumt, 
    sum(t.SomeNumt) Over (Order by t.id asc Rows Between Unbounded Preceding and Current Row) as cum
from 
    @t t 
group by
    t.id,
    t.SomeNumt
order by
    t.id asc;

Answer 15

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

Answer 16

Without using any type of JOIN cumulative salary for a person fetch by using follow query:

SELECT * , (
  SELECT SUM( salary ) 
  FROM  `abc` AS table1
  WHERE table1.ID <=  `abc`.ID
    AND table1.name =  `abc`.Name
) AS cum
FROM  `abc` 
ORDER BY Name
