Union of two views count distinct patient ID

Brian Smith shared this question 18 months ago
Completed

This is easily done using a custom query but I am trying to use tables for better performance (hopefully). First view has patientID and date and same with second view. when I put them together I get duplicate years and distinct count for each year.

Example:

2022 5,280

2022 38,555

I need a distinct count of the patientID for the whole year between both views for 2022.

The only way that I can think of that I have not tried is creating a third NULL view using that as the first view and join the two other views upon it. But They have to be aggregated as I have 200,000+ records for patientIDs and would like to run for 3 years prior to current year to current YTD.

Any ideas are welcome.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for reaching out to Yellowfin support.

Could you please let us know the exact version and build of Yellowfin you are currently using it would be great if you can provide the info.jsp page?

It would be great if you can share the screen recording of the process you are doing and upload it into our ftp server?

Sri,

Before I upload items I have talked to our team here and we see no way to be able to do a distinct count from two data sources utilizing 2 views in a union in yellowfin as it aggregates distinct counts for each view before applying the union.

So if I could get this question asked: Is it possible to do a distinct count using a union from 2 different data sources (2 views)?

If this is possible I will gladly upload the required items/files.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Brian,

I hope you are doing well.

We have some feedback on this case from our development team and wanted to clarify a few things, as below.

  1. The first view has patientID and date, and the same with the second view. We wanted to know if these two different views were created from different data sources?
  2. If the views are created from the same database, the client could create a view using freehand SQL, which will make the distinct count. It would help to know how the views are created and how many data sources the client is using.
  3. Also, would that be a fair ask if could provide the "custom SQL" that you are using to achieve the desired outcome?
  4. Can you also share sample data of the views that you have in Yellowfin and the required output so that we can try them in our instances?
  5. Also, are you specifically talking about database views? or YF views? If YF views, are you trying to use the union query in the report (advanced union query) or is it something else?
