I have the current data and fields for "2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau" & "2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau" is there a way to calculate this information and populate the appropriate fields?
Cheers Chris

Hi Chris,

If what you are trying to do is...

Hi Chris,

I'll try that again...
If what you are trying to do is...

  1. Sum the sales of chateau for 2004
  2. Sum the sales of chateau for 2005
  3. Calculate (sales for 2005)-(sales for 2004) / (sales for 2004) * 100
    then the best way may be to do it in your mysql query.

    I have used...
    SUM(IF (`fieldname1`=somevalue,1,0)) AS `totaloffieldname1`
    to total up the number of entries where `fieldname1` has been set equal to somevalue.
    Now I'm assuming you have a table for sales in which their are fields that record year of purchase and qty purchased...If so then you may be able to use:

    (SUM(IF(`year`="2005",qty,0)-SUM(IF(`year`="2004",qty,0))/SUM(IF(`year`="2004",qty,0) as `myanswer`
    Got the idea from this mysql item...http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html

    Scan down until you see the the first user comment...
    Hope this helps.
    Giles.

Thanks Giles,
Perhaps I should be a bit clearer in my explaation.
But getting the data entered first then running a MySql query to populate the required values does seem to make the most sense.
The site is to aid users choose and buy wine.
So "2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau"

= 2005 price - 2004 price expressed as a percentage of 2004 price
& "2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau"

= 2005 price - 2000 price expressed as a percentage of 2000 price
2005 price UK increase 2005 over 2004 increase 2005 over 2000

Margaux Margaux £4,000 338% 192%

Latour Pauillac £4,000 289% 192%

Lafite Rothschild Pauillac £3,700 275% 150%
Margaux 2005 Margaux 4000.00 900.00 1,800.00

Lafite Rothschild 2005 Pauillac 3700.00 900.00 1,800.00

Latour 2005 Pauillac 4000.00 900.00 1,800.00

Chris,
here is the code for the calculated fields you can use in your SQL query:

select

...

(price2005/price2004 - 1)100 as increasefrom2004,

(price2005/price2000 - 1)100 as increasefrom2000,

...

(('Release Price GBP'/'2004 primeur price GBP') - 1)100 as '2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau',

(('Release Price GBP'/'2000 primeur price GBP') - 1)100 as '2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau',
The figures are as follows
Chateau - Vintage - 2005 en primeur GBP - 2004 en primeur GBP - 2000 en primeur GBP

Mouton Rothschild - 2005 - 3500.00 - 900.00 - 1,800.00

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron - 2005 - 740 - 340 - 360
3500/900 = 3.88888 - 1 = 2.8888

3500/1800 = 1.944444444 -1 = .944444
740/340 = 2.176470588 -1 = 1.176470588

740/360 = 2.055555556 -1 = 1.055555556
Even with values in the table each value shows as -100%


('Release Price GBP'/'2004 primeur price GBP' - 1) as '2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau',

('Release Price GBP'/'2000 primeur price GBP' - 1) as '2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau',



`2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau`,

`2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau`,

This is perfect but only if manually calculated in advance!


('Release Price GBP'/'2004 primeur price GBP' - 1) as `2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau`,

`2005 over 2000 - increase ex chateau`,
Another failed attempt from by bubling experiments.

('Release Price GBP'/'2004 primeur price GBP' - 1) as `2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau`,
I have noticed the ` and the ' seem to be critical!

Use tickles (`) around the field names.

Here is the correct expression:
(`Release Price GBP`/`2004 primeur price GBP` - 1) as `2005 over 2004 - increase ex chateau`,
