l want to get by student_id all the subjects and rank based on subject

for example a student wrote subject 7112 l want rank of that particular subject for that student and how many wrote that subject as out of

Example 1 . Ranking for subject code 7112

enter image description here

Example 2 . Ranking for subject 6118

enter image description here

Example 3 . Ranking for subject 2076

enter image description here

NB: a student can write one subject but can write many different but not writing twice per subject

What l want to achieve is grab subjects based on student id and get rank for each subject like when getting for a specific student report

enter image description here

or

enter image description here

What l tried 

SELECT stu.* , 
(
SELECT TOP 1 + 
DENSE_RANK () OVER (PARTITION BY [tbl_result].score order by  
                [tbl_result].score DESC ) as ranking
  FROM
[dbo].[tbl_result]
Where [dbo].[tbl_result].[student_id] = stu.[student_id]
) As Rank 
FROM [dbo].[tbl_result] stu
Where stu.[student_id] = 'R135722F'

What l also assume/ think

l can use a cursor but l still new to them and dont want slow perfomance just by writting bad sql due to less knowledge

Why am getting wrong results

if l rank for subject getting all students l get the rank as 

SELECT *  ,
    DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY [tbl_result].score  DESC ) as ranking
      FROM
    [dbo].[tbl_result] 
    Where subject_id = 7112

but when getting for student and the subjects he / she wrote with their rank am failing to do

Edit 1 Example 3 rank last two rows had rame rank of 2 for score 45 enter image description here

  • Why in Example 3 . Ranking for subject 2076 R135722 have rank 2 and R137634H have rank 3? why not backward?

Try something like

WITH cte AS (
SELECT student_id, subject, score, 
CAST(RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY subject ORDER BY score DESC) AS CHAR(3))
    + ' out of ' +
    CAST(COUNT(student_id) OVER (PARTITION BY subject) AS CHAR(3)) AS [rank]
FROM table
-- ORDER BY student, subject
)
SELECT * /* subject, score, rank */
FROM cte
WHERE student_id = 'R135722F'

  • thanks for the answer sir , it ranks all students and subjects fine but , l need to retrieve based only based by student id like Where stu.[student_id] = 'R135722F' , is it possible

  • You want to obtain the result for a separate student? Move my query to CTE (remove ORDER BY - it makes no sense in that case) and use WHERE student_id = 'R135722F' in a query, what a problem...
