I am trying to get count on a varchar field, but it is not giving me distinct count. How can I do that? This is what I have....
Select Distinct
sum(isnull(cast([Total Count] as float),0))
from T_Status_Report
where Type = 'LastMonth' and OrderVal = '1'
Because of a limitation on a piece of software I'm using I need to take a large varchar field and force a carriage return/linebreak in the returned sql. Allowing for a line size of approximately 50 characters, I thought the approach would be to first find the 'spaces' in the data, so as to not split the line on a real word. achieve.
--===== Simulate a passed parameter
DECLARE @Parameter VARCHAR(8000)
SET @Parameter = (select a_notes
from dbo.notestuff as notes
where a_id = '1')
[Code] .....

hi all,
sometimes, when tables are poorly joined, we have exactly same rows as a result.. so we use distinct.. but how can we count(*) the distinct rows?
select distinct d.docrefid from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
will return me
docrefid
DC01C06027
but when i try to count(*) only the distinct record, it count all..
select distinct d.docrefid, count(*) from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
group by d.docrefid
will return me
DocrefId Count
DC01C060272
when i expect
DocrefId Count
DC01C060271

Hi
I have a table which stores the shift information for employees. The table contains 10 columns as Employeename,Employeeno,month,year,shifttimings etc. If an employee works a day in a particular shift, then a row will be inserted in to the above table for that employee.
Now at the end of the month i wanted to calculate the shift details for each employee for a particular month of a given year like employeename,employeeno, noofdays(countof shiftdays).
Can some body help?
Thanks in Advance!

I have an SQL statement that looks like the following:
SELECT [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName, COUNT([Docs-DocsEntities].filename) AS numDocs
FROM [Docs-Entities] LEFT JOIN [Docs-DocsEntities]
ON [Docs-Entities].entityID = [Docs-DocsEntities].entityID
GROUP BY [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName
but the problem is that numDocs (the COUNT) is not returning a distinct count. In the DocEntities table, a particular document can actually have multiple entries with the same entityID so that produces inflated numbers for numDocs. But when I do a SELECT DISTINCT on a particular entityID, the results are less and don't match the numDocs number because I only need to list the document one time. This is not a huge issue, but it looks bad on my site.
Is there a way that I can make COUNT count distinctly?
Thanks for the help and I hope I worded that cllearly...

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want a count of distinct rows in a table through a single query -- is it possible?
eg.
table-
create table ch1 (a int, b int, c int, d int)
insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,3,4,5)
Here distinct row count in a table is 3 which I want to achieve thro a query.
if I do
select count(distinct a) from ch1 it works fine and gives me output as 2.
but this is not working
select count(distinct a,b,c,d) from ch1 - any workaround to find the distinct row count in a table??
Please reply.
Cheers!

hello,
i have a working stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, PictureID, DateCommented, COUNT(CommentID) OVER (PARTITION BY PictureID) AS 'NrOfComments'
FROM Comments WHERE PictureID = @PictureID
witch returns among others the number of comments for a picture
i need to select the number of distinct users who commented that user too, so i added this at SELECT statement, COUNT(DISTINCT UserName) AS 'Expr1'
i get that error:
"Colum 'Comments.CommentID' is invalig in the select list beacuse it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause."
what should i do, to select the number of distinct users who commented on a specific picture?
here are the table rows, if you need that
CommentID --- UserName --- PictureID --- DateCommented
please help me, thank you
It doesn't seem possibly, but maybe?
Is there a way to have an expression be used, but also benefit from using distinct on a column?
I'm looking for something like:
sum(case when dtEntered > '1-1-2006' then 1 else 0 end)
but also encorporating somehow a distinct count on UserName. So a username showing twice would only count once, and this would only be counted if the record's dtEntered date was greater than Jan 1, 2006.
The reason I'm writing the statement that way is because there are 5 columns which aggregate data by different time periods.
If it's not possible, I will just end up joining to the table multiple times, putting the date filter in the where clause.
I am trying to get the below query to work and can't seem to get past this error. Not sure but everywhere I look I think my syntax is right. I am probably missing something obvious but I'm just back from vacation and trying to get in the swing of things. Any help would be appreciated.

SELECT [FileNo], COUNT(DISTINCT [Type]) AS CountOfAPs

I learned that you can use GROUP BY ALL and it works but the "ALL" is deprecated beyond SQL 2005.

Here is my dataset used by my report definition. The combo of barcode and order id is unique. The 'isDiscountedItem' field indicates if the customer used a coupon to purchased an item at a lower price.

Barcode 123 2
Barcode 789 1

We have a table of students with fields for the ID of the school district and their school name. For example:
DistrictID
StudentName
SchoolName
10001
John Smith
Washington Elementary
10001
Jane Smith
Lincoln Middle
10002
David White
Hill High
...
...
...
I want is a listing with the school district ID, the student name, and the number of schools in the district.
I believe the following statement should give me what I want:
SELECT DistrictID, StudentName, COUNT(DISTINCT SchoolName) OVER (PARTITION BY DistrictID)
FROM StudentData
However, I get the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'distinct'.
If I take out the DISTINCT it runs fine, however it counts all the rows as expected, which is not what I want.
If I remove the OVER clause it runs fine, however, it counds the schools across all the districts, which is not what I want.
I can remove the OVER clause and use GROUP BY, but not while also retrieving StudentName.
The SQL 2005 Online Books don't seem to indicate that my statement is invalid. Here are the links just for reference:
Count: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175997.aspx

Anyone have an idea one what I'm doing wrong or how to go about getting this information?

This seems simple enough, I'm trying to get a count of employees by different indicators. First total by job code, second by Union_Code.
So I'm looking to count every one by distinct job codes inside a distinct Union_code first, then total the number for that distinct union.
Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT emp.job_code,
tbljob.job_title,
emp.union_code

INNER JOIN
empjob ON empjob.emp_id = emp.emp_id
AND empjob.company = emp.company

Product table consists of (productid, productname, producttypeid, createdate, portid)
productcategory consists of (productid, categoryid, productcategoryid, categoryid, prodroletypeid, createdate)

select count(distinct categoryid) as uniquecat
from productcategory as pc, product as p
where pc.prodroletypeid in ('P', 'F')
and pc.createdate <= dateadd(d, 30, getdate())
