Group BY Query not giving expected result

  • Maybe someone out there can help on this. I have a pretty simple group by State query that works perfectly except for the fourth column (highlighted) does not group correctly. It does the calculation for the first row perfectly but carries that same result to the other 49 states which is not correct, but the other columns group just perfectly. Any ideas on this one? Thanks.:-)

    SELECT T3.state AS [State],

    SUM(T1.Applications) As Total,

    SUM(T1.UnitsSold) as TotalSold,

    convert(decimal(10,2),convert(decimal(10,2),SUM(T1.UnitsSold))/convert(decimal(10,2),SUM(T1.Applications)) * 100) as [Acceptance Rate %],

    SUM(T1.Revenue) as Revenue

    FROM TABLE1 T1 WITH(NOLOCK)

    INNER JOIN TABLE2 T2 WITH(NOLOCK) ON T1.VendorID=T2.VendorID

    INNER JOIN TABLE3 T3 ON T1.VendorID = T3.VendorID

    AND T1.VendoriD = 88052

    GROUP BY T3.STATE

    ORDER BY T3.state

  • Hi,

    Try splitting the work using a CTE:

    ; with cte as (

    SELECT T3.state AS [State],

    SUM(T1.Applications) As Total,

    SUM(T1.UnitsSold) as TotalSold,

    SUM(T1.Revenue) as Revenue,

    T1.VendorId

    FROM TABLE1 T1 WITH(NOLOCK)

    INNER JOIN TABLE2 T2 WITH(NOLOCK) ON T1.VendorID=T2.VendorID

    INNER JOIN TABLE3 T3 ON T1.VendorID = T3.VendorID

    GROUP BY T3.STATE, T1.VendorId

    )

    select *

    , cast(cast(TotalSold as decimal (10,2))/cast(Total as decimal(10,2)) as decimal(10,2)) as [Acceptance Rate %]

    from cte

    where cte.VendoriD = 88052

    ORDER BY cte.state

  • Nope, stills shows the same acceptance rate for all 50 states. It is only correct for the first state. (AL).:-D

  • Please provide some insert ready test data and expected results for tested code.
