Syntax error when using IN statement inside inner query

  • Hi,

    I'm getting a syntax error on the following query designed to return the newest status from a one to many relationship based on a dynamic list of IDs passed via an IN statement. The inner query runs fine on its own, as does the entire query when the IN statement is removed. The error I keep getting is "Error in list of values in IN clause. Unable to parse query text." Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

    SELECT ToBeActionedBy,

    COUNT(ToBeActionedBy) AS ActionCount

    FROM (SELECT

    (SELECT TOP (1) ToBeActionedBy FROM dbo.PStatus AS PStatus_1

    WHERE (POID = dbo.POrder.ID) ORDER BY ID DESC) AS ToBeActionedBy

    FROM dbo.POrder

    INNER JOIN dbo.Address ON dbo.POrder.Company_Name = dbo.Address.Company_Name

    WHERE (AccountNumber IN ('PARISH') AND (dbo.Address.ID IN (11743,11899))

    AND (Complete = 0)) AS A

    WHERE (ToBeActionedBy Is Not NULL) GROUP BY ToBeActionedBy

  • Mismatched brackets in the inner WHERE clause. Opened here and not closed (AccountNumber IN ('PARISH')

    This is syntactically valid

    SELECT ToBeActionedBy ,

    COUNT(ToBeActionedBy) AS ActionCount

    FROM ( SELECT ( SELECT TOP (1)

    ToBeActionedBy

    FROM dbo.PStatus AS PStatus_1

    WHERE POID = dbo.POrder.ID

    ORDER BY ID DESC

    ) AS ToBeActionedBy

    FROM dbo.POrder

    INNER JOIN dbo.Address ON dbo.POrder.Company_Name = dbo.Address.Company_Name

    WHERE AccountNumber IN ('PARISH')

    AND dbo.Address.ID IN (11743, 11899)

    AND Complete = 0

    ) AS A

    WHERE ToBeActionedBy IS NOT NULL

    GROUP BY ToBeActionedBy
