SQL Server Inserting a previous value into the new column -
i have these 2 tables:
table1: customername billdate
city - beautification lm 2013-05-30 00:00:00.000 city - beautification lm 2013-06-28 00:00:00.000 city - parks/rt 66 2012-07-12 00:00:00.000 city - parks/rt 66 2012-07-12 00:00:00.000
and on...
table2 has field: cyclestartdate
i want insert data table1 table2 following: each unique customername, cyclestartdate billdate previous record. if previous record not exist, replace null 2013-07-1 00:00:00.000.
is possible can that?
if have sql server less 2012, try this
select t.customername, isnull(tp.billdate, '20130701') cyclestartdate table1 t outer apply ( select top 1 t2.billdate table1 t2 t2.customername = t.customername , t2.billdate < t.billdate order t2.billdate desc ) tp
