How to create a column of months from date and display sum of the corresponding column wherein you find duplicate dates?


For this can use DATE_FORMAT() in MySQL. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> PurchaseDate date,
   -> Amount int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-10-12',500);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-10-12',1000);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-01-10',600);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-10-12',600);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-11-10',800);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+--------+
| PurchaseDate | Amount |
+--------------+--------+
|   2019-10-12 |    500 |
|   2018-10-12 |   1000 |
|   2019-01-10 |    600 |
|   2018-10-12 |    600 |
|   2018-11-10 |    800 |
+--------------+--------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to create a column of months from the date and display some of the corresponding columns wherein you find duplicate dates −

mysql> select sum(Amount) as Amount,date_format(PurchaseDate,'%b') AS Month from DemoTable
   -> group by date_format(PurchaseDate,'%Y-%m');

This will produce the following output −

+--------+-------+
| Amount | Month |
+--------+-------+
|    500 |   Oct |
|   1600 |   Oct |
|    600 |   Jan |
|    800 |   Nov |
+--------+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
