I was trying to measure the time between events with the exception of what one entry that has multiple processes between the start and end. I needed this in the context of other single line processes.
I used a select with an inner join as my select statement within the Nth cte. The second cte I needed to extract the start date on X and end date on Y and used 1 as an id value to left join to put them on a single line.
Works for me, hope this helps.
cte_extract
as
(
select ps.Process as ProcessEvent
, ps.ProcessStartDate
, ps.ProcessEndDate
-- select strt.*
from dbo.tbl_some_table ps
inner join (select max(ProcessStatusId) ProcessStatusId
from dbo.tbl_some_table
where Process = 'some_extract_tbl'
and convert(varchar(10), ProcessStartDate, 112) < '29991231'
) strt on strt.ProcessStatusId = ps.ProcessStatusID
),
cte_rls
as
(
select 'Sample' as ProcessEvent,
x.ProcessStartDate, y.ProcessEndDate from (
select 1 as Id, ps.Process as ProcessEvent
, ps.ProcessStartDate
, ps.ProcessEndDate
-- select strt.*
from dbo.tbl_some_table ps
inner join (select max(ProcessStatusId) ProcessStatusId
from dbo.tbl_some_table
where Process = 'XX Prcss'
and convert(varchar(10), ProcessStartDate, 112) < '29991231'
) strt on strt.ProcessStatusId = ps.ProcessStatusID
) x
left join (
select 1 as Id, ps.Process as ProcessEvent
, ps.ProcessStartDate
, ps.ProcessEndDate
-- select strt.*
from dbo.tbl_some_table ps
inner join (select max(ProcessStatusId) ProcessStatusId
from dbo.tbl_some_table
where Process = 'YY Prcss Cmpltd'
and convert(varchar(10), ProcessEndDate, 112) < '29991231'
) enddt on enddt.ProcessStatusId = ps.ProcessStatusID
) y on y.Id = x.Id
),
.... other ctes
