Hi Team,
I am getting the following error message when I am trying to execute this nested query
"Incorrect syntax near 'Hours'."
Could some one correct me where I did wrong with this query..
select CC,CategoryName,
TypeName,temp.[No of Visits],cast(sum(ActualDuration)/60.0 as numeric(35,2)) 'Hours' ,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),cast(sum(ActualDuration)/60.0 as numeric(35,2)) /60 % 60) 'mins'
from (
Select Client.ReferenceCode2 CC, CategoryName,
TypeName, count(EventID)"No of Visits"
from Event
inner join EventType on Event.EventTypeRef = EventType.EventTypeID
inner join EventCategory on EventType.EventCategoryRef = EventCategory.EventCategoryID
inner join Client on Event.ClientRef = Client.ClientID
inner join Visit on Visit.ClientRef = Client.ClientID
Where
EventDate between '2014-02-01' and '2014-03-01'
and TypeName = 'Lcare'
Group by Client.ReferenceCode2, CategoryName, TypeName, count(EventID)
)temp
group by ClientCostCentre,CategoryName,
TypeName,temp.[No of Visits],cast(sum(ActualDuration)/60.0 as numeric(35,2)) 'Hours'
Thanks
Krishna

You can't have aliases in a GROUP BY clause.

My guess is you copied the group by from the SELECT...

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.

I have removed 'Hours' from the GroupBY clause. But, no luck.

I am 100% sure that ActualDuration is a valid column.. It could be am doing some thing wrong with the select statement..

The following is the error messages.

Cannot use an aggregate or a subquery in an expression used for the group by list of a GROUP BY clause.

Invalid column name 'ActualDuration'.

You have more problems than I spotted at first.

ActualDuration doesn't exist anywhere in the source sub query "temp", so you can't SELECT it.

You can't have aggregate functions or aliases in GROUP BY.
