I have a table orders and I need to get the sum of order_sum for each month. That is easy using group. But then I also need to get the average sum per day for each month. I am using joins so I can sort the results later. (I'm using MySQL version 5.6)
I am getting an error:
Unknown column 'orders.month' in 'on clause'
Here is my orders table:
+----+-----------+---------------------+
| id | order_sum | created_at |
+----+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | 25.13 | 2020-01-05 08:02:17 |
| 2 | 1.01 | 2020-01-25 20:13:20 |
| 3 | 5.04 | 2020-01-29 16:11:56 |
| 4 | 39.57 | 2020-02-17 15:14:09 |
| 5 | 63.01 | 2020-02-28 17:13:55 |
| 6 | 7 | 2020-03-02 07:10:02 |
+----+-----------+---------------------+
Here is my query:
select
MONTH(created_at) as month,
sum(order_sum) as order_sum,
second_table.avg_order_sum as average_per_day
from
orders
inner join (
select
month(created_at) as month,
avg(order_sum) as avg_order_sum
from
orders
) as second_table on orders.month = second_table.month
group by
month;
This is the result that I am trying to get
+-------+-----------+-----------------+
| month | order_sum | average_per_day |
+-------+-----------+-----------------+
| 1 | 31.18 | 10.39 |
| 2 | 102.58 | 51.29 |
| 3 | 7 | 7 |
+-------+-----------+-----------------+
I know that I can easily get the average per day using this simple query but I'm unable to merge this into one query using inner join...
select month(created_at) as month, avg(order_sum) as average_per_day from orders group by month
And here is the schema
CREATE TABLE orders(
id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
order_sum NUMERIC(11,2) NOT NULL,
created_at VARCHAR(21) NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO orders(id, order_sum, created_at) VALUES
(1, 25.13, '2020-01-05 08:02:17'),
(2, 1.01, '2020-01-25 20:13:20'),
(3, 5.04, '2020-01-29 16:11:56'),
(4, 39.57, '2020-02-17 15:14:09'),
(5, 63.01, '2020-02-28 17:13:55'),
(6, 7.00, '2020-03-02 07:10:02');
Here is a fiddle with schema: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/b6b15/10
You can simply try like:
SELECT month(created_at) AS month
,sum(order_sum) AS Order_Sum
,avg(order_sum) AS average_per_day
FROM orders
GROUP BY month
