Computing Values Using Alphabet Identifiers in a SQL Server Procedure

Data and Databases
1

I have a dataset featuring four fields: Identifier, Letter, Expression, and Amount. Below is an example layout:

-- Sample data structure
Record    Ltr    Calculation    Amt
GroupA    X                     30
GroupB    Y                     15
GroupC    Z          X + Y
GroupD    W          Z + X + Y

Only the amounts for letters X and Y are provided. How can I design a SQL Server stored procedure to compute the amounts for GroupC and GroupD based on the given calculations?

hey, u can use a recursive cte in your sp to process the dependencies. it dynamically evaluates those calc fields based on the provided amounts for x and y, so groupc & groupd get computed accordingly. u may need dynamic sql if expressions get complex.
