SQL getting a column to match multiple conditions in CASE

Question

Presented with the following snippet of SQL:

CASE
    WHEN (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 30) THEN '>= 30 (inclusive)'
    WHEN (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 20) THEN '>= 20 (inclusive)'
    WHEN (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 10) THEN '>= 10 (inclusive)'
    ELSE '< 10'
END

(The full query is below, the snippet above is just to highlight the problem)

The above current results in exclusive matches:

 (30 <= date_diff) = '>= 30'
 (20 <= date_diff <= 30) = '>= 20'
 (10 <= date_diff <= 20) = '>= 10'
 (date_diff < 10) = '< 10'

But what I need is inclusive matches:

 (30 <= date_diff <= 0) = '>= 30'
 (20 <= date_diff <= 0) = '>= 20'
 (10 <= date_diff <= 0) = '>= 10'
 (date_diff < 10) = '< 10'

So - if a record is older than 30 years, it must be categorized in in >= 10 , >= 20 as well as >= 30 , and so on.

EDIT 1

Using the suggestion by @Barmar, my query now looks like this, resulting in an error: #1248 - Every derived table must have its own alias , so I clearly implemented it wrong, so any further assistance will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Join your table with a subquery that returns all the categories, then check whether the row fits the category. Here's a simplification showing just that part of the query, I don't have time right now to fill in your entire query.

SELECT category, COUNT(*)
FROM ...
JOIN (
    SELECT '< 10' AS category
    UNION
    SELECT '>= 10'
    UNION
    SELECT '>= 20'
    UNION
    SELECT '>= 30'
) AS c ON (category = '>= 30' AND (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 30))
        OR (category = '>= 20' AND (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 20))
        OR (category = '>= 10' AND (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) >= 10))
        OR (category = '< 10' AND (YEAR('2018-12-31') - YEAR(`StartDateTCDR`) - (DATE_FORMAT('2018-12-31', '%m%d') < DATE_FORMAT(`StartDateTCDR`, '%m%d')) < 10))
GROUP BY Category, `ExistingPlanned`, `ResponsibleOrg`, `StartDateTCDR`, `EndDateTCDR`, `SpecificEndDate`, `ResponsibleOrgOut`, `StartDate`, `EndDate`, `ActualLength`, `TCDRLength`

Another way to do it would be a UNION of 4 queries, which each test for the age in their WHERE clauses.

Answer 2

In this case, the solution was not necessary to be done with a single query where the processing was done on SQL side. I opted for a broader query that got all the data at one shot, then processed the result set with PHP to get to the results I need.
