Question

How would I filter the count column in the query below to show me only rows that have a count > 1?

select FirstName, COUNT(*) as [CountTickets] from tblParkingTickets
group by FirstName  
order by [CountTickets] desc

This doesn’t work:

select FirstName, COUNT(*) as [CountTickets] from tblParkingTickets
where [CountTickets] > 1
group by FirstName  
order by [CountTickets] desc

Thanks

with HAVING:

HAVING COUNT(*) > 1

WHERE filters before the group by (and therefore COUNT doesn’t mean anything). HAVING filters after grouping.
