Group by in Date field

Date group by If can use group by command in our date field to display total number of records for a day. Say we have records of last ten days; we want to display total records of each day of last ten days. Here we can apply group by command on our date field. Along with the group by command we can use count command to count total number of records in each day. We will discuss some SQL examples using some examples.

We will display in combination of year-month ( as explained above ) along with part of the month data in 15 days bundle like 1-15th and from 16th to end of the month.

We used IF condition here . We will add the output of IF to CONCAT.

THEN CONCAT(YEAR(payment_dt), '-',YEAR(payment_dt)+1)
ELSE concat(YEAR(payment_dt)-1,'-',YEAR(payment_dt))

Financial Year and Quarter

Each financial year is divided in 4 quarters. We can display records based on financial year and then on each quarter. Here is the query
SELECT CONCAT(YEAR(payment_dt), '-Q',quarter(payment_dt)) as qt_year ,
COUNT(*) as Nos,SUM(amount) as total,AVG(amount) as average 
FROM `plus2_bills` GROUP BY qt_year
QUARTER: to get data on different Quarters of Financial years
