Thanks for all the response.
But now.. I am asked to use CUBE analytical function to do this.
is this doable?
select
case when MAX_ORD = MAX_ACTION_TAKEN then MIN_ACTION_NOT_TAKEN
when MAX_ORD <> MAX_ACTION_TAKEN then MAX_ACTION_TAKEN + 1
when MAX_ACTION_TAKEN is null and NOT_TAKEN_ACTION > 0 then
MIN_ACTION_NOT_TAKEN end as next_ord
from (
select
max(ORDER) max_ord,
max(case when ACTION_flag = 'Y' then ORDER end) MAX_ACTION_TAKEN,
SUM(case when ACTION_flag is null then 1 else 0 end)
NOT_TAKEN_ACTION,
min(case when ACTION_flag is null then ORDER end)
MIN_ACTION_NOT_TAKEN
FROM participants
order by ORDER);
