Here's some sample data from my table:
day_number daily_users_count
1 1
3 1
6 1
7 1
9 2
10 2
I need all day_number values, from 1 to max(day_number), and I want daily_users_count to be zero if it isn't mentioned in this table.
It should look something like this:
day_number daily_users_count
1 1
2 0
3 1
4 0
5 0
6 1
7 1
8 0
9 2
10 2
I think a left join with a table which has a number column with all integers from 1 to max(day_number) would work, if I put a default value for daily_users_count as 0.
What I don't get is how to create such a table where all integers within a certain range are present. Any alternate solutions or any ways to do this would be much appreciated.
You can do it with a recursive CTE
which will return all the day_number
s including the missing ones and then a LEFT
join to the table:
with cte as (
select min(day_number) day_number from tablename
union all
select day_number + 1 from cte
where day_number < (select max(day_number) from tablename)
)
select c.day_number,
coalesce(t.daily_users_count, 0) daily_users_count
from cte c left join tablename t
on t.day_number = c.day_number
See the demo.
Results:
| day_number | daily_users_count |
| ---------- | ----------------- |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 0 |
| 5 | 0 |
| 6 | 1 |
| 7 | 1 |
| 8 | 0 |
| 9 | 2 |
| 10 | 2 |
