Listing after implementing ranking skipping numbers

I am trying to achieve ranking functionality as below:
Name Points rank
ram 9 1
kamal 9 1
preet 8 2
lucky 7 3
kishan 6.5 4
devansh 6 5
neha 6 5
I have used below code to achieve this:
finalResult = finalResult.OrderByDescending(i => i.points).ThenBy(i => i.academy).ToList();
finalResult = finalResult.AsEnumerable() // Client-side from here on
.Select((player, index) => new RankingEntity()
{
competitorid = player.competitorid,
firstname = player.firstname,
lastname = player.lastname,
academy = player.academy,
points = player.points,
place = player.place,
eventId = player.eventId,
eventname = player.eventname,
categoryname = player.categoryname,
Rank = index + 1
}).ToList();
var t = (from i in finalResult
let rank = finalResult.First(x => x.points == i.points)
select new
{
Col1 = i,
Rank = rank.Rank
}).ToList();
List<RankingEntity> ttt = new List<RankingEntity>();
foreach (var item in t)
{
var a = item.Col1;
var row = new RankingEntity();
row.competitorid = a.competitorid;
row.firstname = a.firstname;
row.lastname = a.lastname;
row.academy = a.academy;
row.points = a.points;
row.place = a.place;
row.eventId = a.eventId;
row.eventname = a.eventname;
row.categoryname = a.categoryname;
row.Rank = item.Rank;
ttt.Add(row);
}
And i am getting result like below:
Please help what i am doing wrong.

What you are trying to achieve is a ranking of a "group" so group the results by the points and then order the groups. For each item in the group give the same rank.
finalResult.GroupBy(item => item.Points) // Group by points
.OrderDescendingBy(g => g.Key) // Order the groups
.Select((g, index) => new { Data = g, GroupRank = index + 1}) // Rank each group
.SelectMany(g => g.Data.Select(item => new RankingEntity
{
/* properties of each item */
Rank = g.GroupIndex
}); // Flatten groups and set for each item the group's ranking
The problem in your method is that you give the ranking for individual items and not the group. Then when you retrieve the rank for the group (from i in finalResult let rank = finalResult.First(x => x.points == i.points)...) you actually set for each item in the group the ranking of one of the elements in it. Therefore, if you first got the last item of the group - that will be the Rank value of each item in it.
Also notice that in the first line of your code you use ToList. Therefore there is not need to use AsEnumerable in the line under it - it is already a materialized in memory collection.

LINQ to SQL: Group, Count, Sum. I'm so confused

Good morning all,
I have been stuck on this all morning and feel like I've hit a wall. I'd love any advice that can be given at this point.
My table is basically as follows:
PatientName|LivingSpace
-----------|-----------
Patient 1 | Unit 1
Patient 2 | Unit 1
Patient 3 | Unit 2
Patient 4 | Unit 2
Patient 5 | Unit 3
Patient 6 | Unit 3
Patient 7 | Unit 3
Patient 8 | Unit 3
I need a LINQ to SQL query to illustrate this:
Unit|Count
----|-----
Unit 1 | 2
Unit 2 | 2
Unit 3 | 4
TOTAL | 8
My SQL query works fine, I'm just having issues with converting it to LINQ:
SELECT LivingSpace, COUNT(LivingSpace) AS LivingSpace
FROM PatientTable
WHERE Status = 'Active'
GROUP BY LivingSpace
UNION ALL
SELECT 'SUM' LivingSpace, COUNT(LivingSpace)
FROM PatientTable

var counts = from x in ctx.PatientTable
group x by x.LivingSpace into y
select new { Key = y.Key Count = y.Count() };
var total = new { Key = "Total" , Count = ctx.PatientTable.Count() };
var full = counts.ToList();
full.Add(total);

If you want to do it all in one query the following should work (adjusting for the actual names of your properties of course).
context.PatientTable.GroupBy(a => a.LivingSpace.Name, a => 1)
.Select(a => new
{
a.Key,
Total = a.Sum(q => q)
})
.Union(PatientTable.Select(a => new
{
Key = "Total",
Total = PatientTable.Count()
}))

var report = patients
.GroupBy(p => p.LivingSpace)
.Select(g => new
{
Unit = g.Key,
Count = g.Count()
})
.Union(patients
.Select(p => new
{
Unit = "Total",
Count = patients.Count
}));

Something like this should work and just run one query.
var results = db.PatientTable
.GroupBy(p => p.LivingSpace)
.Select(grp => new
{
Unit = grp.Key,
Count = grp.Count()
})
.Union(db.PatientTable
.GroupBy(p => 1)
.Select(grp => new
{
Unit = "Total",
Count = grp.Count()
}));

I see you got the answer, but for learning purposes, here is side by side conversion.
Your SQL (with some aliases added for better comparison)
SELECT P.LivingSpace, COUNT(P.*) AS Count
FROM PatientTable AS P
WHERE P.Status = 'Active'
GROUP BY P.LivingSpace
UNION ALL
SELECT 'SUM' AS LivingSpace, COUNT(P.*) AS Count
FROM PatientTable AS P
The same single query in LINQ
var query =
(
from p in db.PatientTable
where p.Status = "Active"
group p by p.LivingSpace into g
select new { LivingSpace = g.Key, Count = g.Count() }
)
.Concat
(
from p in db.PatientTable
group p by "SUM" into g
select new { LivingSpace = g.Key, Count = g.Count() }
);

LINQ sum not performed when values are identical

I need to sum elements of same type starting from 2 LINQ queries.
Below is my code:
var query1 = from d in _contextProvider.Context.Documents
where d.TransportId == transportId
group d by d.Type
into dg
select new { DocumentType = dg.Key.ToString(), DocumentCount = dg.Count() };
var query2 = from n in _contextProvider.Context.NotificationDocuments
where n.TransportId == transportId
group n by n.TransportId
into nd
select new { DocumentType = "Notification", DocumentCount = nd.Count() };
var query_collapsed = query1.Union(query2)
.GroupBy(p => new { DocumentType = p.DocumentType })
.Select(g => new DocumentCounters() { DocumentType = g.Key.DocumentType, DocumentCount = g.Sum(p => p.DocumentCount) });
Example: below let's analyse values for DocumentType equals to Notification.
Values of query1:
Values of query2:
The collapsed query :
That's correct: 1 + 2 = 3
The problem: I noticed that whenever the count for Notification in query1 is equals to the count for Notification in query2, then the sum is not performed.
Example:
2 + 2 = 2
or
3 + 3 = 3
Any ideas ?

LINQ Union will remove duplicate entries. If you want to merge the two sequences you can use Concat like so:
var query_collapsed = query1.Concat(query2)
.GroupBy(p => new { DocumentType = p.DocumentType })
.Select(g => new DocumentCounters() { DocumentType = g.Key.DocumentType, DocumentCount = g.Sum(p => p.DocumentCount) });

C# Linq Average

I have a table with data similar to below:
Group TimePoint Value
1 0 1
1 0 2
1 0 3
1 1 3
1 1 5
I want to project a table as such:
Group TimePoint AverageValue
1 0 2
1 1 4
EDIT: The data is in a datatable.
Anybody any ideas how this can be done with LINQ or otherwise?
Thanks.

You need to perform Group By
The linq you need is something like:
var query = from item in inputTable
group item by new { Group = item.Group, TimePoint = item.TimePoint } into grouped
select new
{
Group = grouped.Key.Group,
TimePoint = grouped.Key.TimePoint,
AverageValue = grouped.Average(x => x.Value)
} ;
For more Linq samples, I highly recommend the 101 Linq samples page - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336747#avgGrouped

Here's a more function-oriented approach (the way I prefer it). The first line won't compile, so fill it in with your data instead.
var items = new[] { new { Group = 1, TimePoint = 0, Value = 1} ... };
var answer = items.GroupBy(x => new { TimePoint = x.TimePoint, Group = x.Group })
.Select(x => new {
Group = x.Key.Group,
TimePoint = x.Key.TimePoint,
AverageValue = x.Average(y => y.Value),
}
);

You can do:
IEnumerable<MyClass> table = ...
var query = from item in table
group item by new { item.Group, item.TimePoint } into g
select new
{
g.Key.Group,
g.Key.TimePoint,
AverageValue = g.Average(i => i.Value)
};

Assuming a class like this:
public class Record
{
public int Group {get;set;}
public int TimePoint {get;set;}
public int Value {get;set;}
}
var groupAverage = from r in records
group r by new { r.Group, r.TimePoint } into groups
select new
{
Group = groups.Key.Group,
TimePoint = groups.Key.TimePoint,
AverageValue = groups.Average(rec => rec.Value)
};

Use LINQ to group data from DataTable

I want to use LINQ to group data from a DataTable (columns: userid, chargetag, charge).
The content could look like this:
userid chargetag charge
-----------------------------
user1 tag3 100
user2 tag3 100
user3 tag5 250
I need something like this as a result:
chargetag count sum
-------------------------
tag3 2 200
tag5 1 250
This is what I have so far:
var groupedData = from b in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
group b by b.Field<string>("chargetag") into g
let count = g.Count()
select new
{
ChargeTag = g.Key,
Count = count,
};
I can extract the name of the chargetag and the number of it.
How would I have to change the LINQ query to access the sum of charges as well?
Thanks in advance :-)
Regards,
Kevin

That's pretty easy - just use the Sum extension method on the group.
var groupedData = from b in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
group b by b.Field<string>("chargetag") into g
select new
{
ChargeTag = g.Key,
Count = g.Count(),
ChargeSum = g.Sum(x => x.Field<int>("charge"))
};
(I've removed the let clause here as it wasn't really buying you anything.)
Now that may be inefficient; it may end up grouping twice in order to perform two aggregation operations. You could fix that like with a query continuation like this, if you really wanted:
var groupedData = from b in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
group b by b.Field<string>("chargetag") into g
select new
{
ChargeTag = g.Key,
List = g.ToList(),
} into g
select new
{
g.ChargeTag,
Count = g.List.Count,
ChargeSum = g.List.Sum(x => x.Field<int>("charge"))
};
Or with a let clause instead:
var groupedData = from b in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
group b by b.Field<string>("chargetag") into g
let list = g.ToList()
select new
{
ChargeTag = g.Key,
Count = list.Count,
ChargeSum = list.Sum(x => x.Field<int>("charge"))
};
