Sample Solution:
-- This SQL query retrieves information about employee counts grouped by department and job title,
-- with additional logic for displaying total counts at various levels.
SELECT D.Name -- Selecting the department name.
,CASE
WHEN GROUPING(D.Name, E.JobTitle) = 0 THEN E.JobTitle -- When not grouping by department or job title, display the job title.
WHEN GROUPING(D.Name, E.JobTitle) = 1 THEN CONCAT('Total :', D.Name) -- When grouping by department but not by job title, display the total count for the department.
WHEN GROUPING(D.Name, E.JobTitle) = 3 THEN 'Company Total:' -- When grouping by neither department nor job title, display the total count for the company.
ELSE 'Unknown' -- Display 'Unknown' for other cases.
END AS "Job Title" -- Alias for the computed column.
,COUNT(E.BusinessEntityID) AS "Employee Count" -- Counting the number of employees in each group.
FROM HumanResources.Employee E -- Main table: Employee
INNER JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory DH -- Joining with EmployeeDepartmentHistory table.
ON E.BusinessEntityID = DH.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN HumanResources.Department D -- Joining with Department table.
ON D.DepartmentID = DH.DepartmentID
WHERE DH.EndDate IS NULL -- Filtering to include only active employees.
AND D.DepartmentID IN (12,14) -- Filtering departments by DepartmentID.
GROUP BY ROLLUP(D.Name, E.JobTitle); -- Using ROLLUP for grouping, which generates subtotals.
Explanation:
- The query retrieves employee counts grouped by department and job title.
- It includes logic to display subtotals and total counts at different levels of grouping.
- The CASE statement determines the content of the "Job Title" column based on the grouping level.
- COUNT(E.BusinessEntityID) calculates the number of employees in each group.
- The ROLLUP function generates subtotals for different levels of grouping.
Sample Output:
name |Job Title |Employee Count|

Document Control |Control Specialist | 2|
