Sometimes you want to know what the percentage is of null values in a table for a Column
Or you might want to know what the percentage of all values in a Column is grouped by value
You can get these answers by running the code below
First create this table
CREATE TABLE #perc ( Column1 INT,Column2 INT,Column3 INT)
INSERT INTO #perc
SELECT NULL,1,1
UNION ALL
SELECT 1,1,1
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL,NULL,1
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL,1,NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL,1,1
UNION ALL
SELECT 1,1,NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL,1,1
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,1,2
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,1,1
Get the percentage of nulls in all the Columns in my table
SELECT 100.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Column1 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Column1Percent,
100.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Column2 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Column2Percent,
100.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Column3 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS Column3Percent
FROM #perc
Output
Column1Percent Column2Percent Column3Percent 55.555555555555 11.111111111111 22.222222222222
Get the values and the percentage of all values for a Column
SELECT Column3 AS Value,COUNT(*) AS ValueCount,
100.0 * COUNT(coalesce(Column3,0))/(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #perc ) AS Percentage
FROM #perc
GROUP BY Column3
ORDER BY Percentage DESC
Output
Value ValueCount Percentage 1 6 66.666666666666 NULL 2 22.222222222222 2 1 11.111111111111
