In my database I have a table with two columns. The first column contains dates and the second is a count variable. I was wondering if it is possible to compute the average counts for each weekday based on the dates and counts.
In the following a small example:
Table:
Date Count
02/01/2005 100
02/02/2005 200
02/03/2005 300
... ...
Output:
Days Average
Monday 120.5
Tuesday 200.2
Wednesday 300.5
解决方案
You could a series of avg calls on case expression extracting the day's name:
SELECT AVG(CASE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) WHEN 2 THEN `count` ELSE NULL END) AS Monday,
AVG(CASE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) WHEN 3 THEN `count` ELSE NULL END) AS Tuesday,
AVG(CASE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) WHEN 4 THEN `count` ELSE NULL END) AS Wednesday,
AVG(CASE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) WHEN 5 THEN `count` ELSE NULL END) AS Thursday,
AVG(CASE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) WHEN 6 THEN `count` ELSE NULL END) AS Friday
FROM mytable
EDIT:
Given the updated expected output in the edited post, it's much easier to do - just group by the dayname:
SELECT DAYNAME(`date`), AVG(`count`)
FROM mytable
WHERE DAYOFWEEK(`date`) BETWEEN 2 AND 6
GROUP BY DAYNAME(`date`)
