I have a query in sql but I have to use Linq to perform the same operation How can I do this ?
The query is :
SQL
SELECT sum(credit) - sum(debit) AS Bal, date
FROM AccData
GROUP BY date;


I have written a query but that certainly seems wrong as it has multiple errors, please help.
I have with me a Data Table AccData on which this query has to be performed

I have received a datatable from another method , I'm writing a method to perform operation on this particular datatable according to the query I wrote above using Linq.

1 solution

The following LINQ query can be used to obtain the above results
C#
void Main()
{
    DataTable accData = new DataTable();
    accData.Columns.Add("Date",typeof(DateTime),null);
    accData.Columns.Add("Credit",typeof(double),null);
    accData.Columns.Add("Debit",typeof(double),null);
    
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,24),500,300);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,24),350,275);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,24),400,200);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,25),250,100);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,25),350,150);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,27),250,75);
    accData.Rows.Add(new DateTime(2012,03,27),175,50);
    
    DataTable balance = new DataTable();
    balance.Columns.Add("Date",typeof(DateTime),null);
    balance.Columns.Add("Bal",typeof(double),null);
    
   
    accData.AsEnumerable().GroupBy (row =>row.Field<datetime>("Date"))
    .Select (row => {DataRow balRow = balance.NewRow(); 
    	balRow["Date"]=row.Key;
    	balRow["Bal"]=row.Sum (r => r.Field<double>("Credit"))
    				  - row.Sum (r => r.Field<double>("Debit"));
    	return balRow;}).CopyToDataTable(balance,LoadOption.OverwriteChanges);
}
//Contents balance DataTable
//
//Date                  Bal

//25/3/2012 12:00:00 AM 350

Can you please tell from where 'r' came from ??

in row.Sum (r => r.Field<double>("Credit"))
- row.Sum (r => r.Field<double>("Debit"));

r is different from row.
When Grouping is done, an IEnumerable collection is returned in which each element contains a key and an IEnumerable of elements of the original collection. In the above example row contains key i.e. date, and an IEnumerable of the Original DataRow. The r in the above example is the element of this inner IEnuerable of the row. Please see the solution in which I have posted the grouped data for illustration.
