 DATEDIFF IF & Median In Minutes On Same Name

In the DATEDIFF section for "DATEDIFF(minute, Report.BeginEditDate, Report.LastPrelimDate)", I would like when there is no value in the "LastPrelimDate" column for it to instead do "DATEDIFF(minute, Report.BeginEditDate, Report.LastSignDate)". Additionally, I would also like when the LoginName is the same for the minutes in the DATEDIFF columns to add together and give the median. It sounds really hard to me, but maybe this is a piece of cake to someone else. I sure hope so!



SELECT Account.LoginName, "dbo"."Order".CreateDate, "dbo"."Order".CompleteDate,
Report.BeginEditDate, Report.LastPrelimDate,
Report.LastSignDate, Report.IsAddendum,
DATEDIFF(minute, "dbo"."Order".CreateDate, "dbo"."Order".CompleteDate), --Order created minus Study Completed
DATEDIFF(minute, "dbo"."Order".CompleteDate, Report.BeginEditDate), --Study completed minus Start Dictate
DATEDIFF(minute, Report.BeginEditDate, Report.LastPrelimDate), --Start Dictate minus Approved
DATEDIFF(minute, Report.LastPrelimDate, Report.LastSignDate) --Approved minus Sign

FROM "dbo"."Order", Report, Account

WHERE "dbo"."Order".CreateDate BETWEEN '01/01/2013 10:30:00' and '01/01/2013 10:32:00'
;

First you need to have a relationship between the three tables, joins would be nice. I also would suggest using an alias for Order table "dbo.Order Order,".

what you're doing currently is cartesian product which doesnt make much sense.

Sorry, I'm not sure what cartesian product is, but it works. I'm probably not as SQL savvy as you; I'm just happy to see the data I need show up.

Are you sure its the data you wanted? Currently it just pulls all possible combinations of data from three tables without any relationship. In business terms it doesnt make any sense. But if you're sure this is what you're looking at, then i dont have any issue

Fortunately it is the data I need. I don't need the data to be related. They're just time stamps from unrelated things that happened to the order and/or report at different time periods. I am able to match this data up with the information in our front end application.
