This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

Check the below input data and expected output for grouping and counting of consecutive flags data. For example, for id (1,2) = three 0, for id (4,5) = two 1.

Input data:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
id flag
----------- -----
1 0
2 0
3 0
4 1
5 1
6 0
7 0
8 1
9 1
10 1
11 1
12 1

Expected Output:

1
2
3
4
5
6
flag ConsecutiveCounts
----- -----------------
0 3
0 2
1 2
1 5

Create a table with data:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
CREATE TABLE tbl_flags
(
id INT PRIMARY KEY
,flag BIT
)
GO
INSERT INTO tbl_flags
VALUES
(1,0),(2,0),(3,0)
,(4,1),(5,1),(6,0)
,(7,0),(8,1),(9,1)
,(10,1),(11,1),(12,1)
GO

Solution:

3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT
id
,flag
,id - ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY flag ORDER BY id) rnk
FROM tbl_flags
)
SELECT flag,(MAX(id) - MIN(id)) + 1 as ConsecutiveCounts
FROM CTE
GROUP BY rnk, flag
ORDER BY rnk,flag

Please try the different solution for this puzzle and share it via comment...

    Declare @Result Table(ID Int,SLNo Int)
    Declare @ID As Int,@Val Int=”,@RowCnt Int,@PVal Int=”;
    Select @ID=Min(ID) From TBL_Flags
    Set @RowCnt=1;

    While @ID Is Not Null
    Begin
    Select @Val=Flag From TBL_Flags Where ID=@ID

    If @PVal@Val
    Begin
    Set @RowCnt=@RowCnt+1
    End

    Insert Into @Result
    (ID,SLNo)
    Values(@Val,@RowCnt)

    Select @ID=Min(ID) From TBL_Flags Where ID>@ID

    Set @PVal=@Val

    End

    Select ID As FLag,Count(SLNo) As NoOfCnt From @Result
    Group By ID,SLNo
    Order By ID,SLNo

    why did u use id- ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY flag ORDER BY id) rnk ?
    Just for grouping? Thanks.

    ;WITH CTE
    AS
    (
    SELECT id,flag,LAG(flag)OVER (ORDER BY id)lg,IIF(flag=(LAG(flag)OVER (ORDER BY id)),0,1)R
    FROM tbl_flags
    ),
    CTE2
    AS
    (
    SELECT id,flag,SUM(R)OVER(ORDER BY id)S
    FROM CTE
    )
    SELECT flag,COUNT(S)
    FROM CTE2
    Group By flag,S
