How to come up with statistics that shows the total number of quizzes, total number of participants? - asp.net

Question

I am developing a simple web application that provides the users with quizzes. since I am new to ASP.NET world, I am following the How to build Quiz Engine Video series on ASP.net website. My database design is to similar to the design used in these videos.
This is the link of the first video:
Everything works fine with me, but I want now to develop a query that helps me to display a statistics to the Admin which shows:
Total number of quizzes in the system
Total number of participants in each quiz
Total number of participants in general in daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis and yearly basis (if possible)
To clarify the last point, I want the admin to see the following:
total number of participant druing last week was: ......
total number of taken quizzes during last week was: .........
total number of taken quizzes during last month was: .........
I think something like this is very useful to know the usage of the system and to show the management how the system is efficient in the copmany.
The sechma of the database:

By help from one of the guys here in this great community, I came up with one query that shows the number of participants in each quiz. This is the query:
SELECT Q.QuizID, Q.Title, COUNT(*) AS Users
FROM dbo.UserQuiz AS UQ
INNER JOIN dbo.Quiz AS Q ON Q.QuizID = UQ.QuizID
GROUP BY Q.QuizID, Q.Title
Now I need to modify it or to come up withe new query that gives me the above three points. How can I do that?

Answer 1

If you want to count for the last 7 days and the last 30 days, you could use something like this:
-- Count of Participants in the last 7 days
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Q.UserName)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -7, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
-- Count quizzes taken in the last 7 days
SELECT COUNT(Q.QuizID)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE Q.DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -7, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
-- Count quizzes taken in the last 30 days
SELECT COUNT(Q.QuizID)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE Q.DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -30, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
Note that if you want to count for calendar weeks and calendar months then you need to do a bit more work to filter the proper starting and ending date filters.
EDIT: Fixed the query syntax (1st answer posted without running it in SSMS) also I didn't notice at first that the UserQuiz.UserQuizID is nullable. This column is therefore not what I would have expected it to be.
EDIT #2: As per OP's request, these three statistics can also be retrieved in a single query using sub-selects. Sub-selects are necessary because of differences in either the filter criteria or the aggregations involved in counting each statistic (or both).
-- Combine three stats into one query using sub-selects...
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Q.UserName)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -7, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)))
as ParticipantsLast7Days,
(SELECT COUNT(Q.QuizID)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE Q.DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -7, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)))
as QuizzesLast7Days,
(SELECT COUNT(Q.QuizID)
FROM dbo.UserQuiz Q
WHERE Q.DateTimeComplete >= DATEADD(dd, -30, DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)))
as QuizzesLast30Days
