Question

I am having an issue getting blast_seconds to show up as the correct value. In my select subquery I need to get the blast_seconds to show up within the same time as in my main Select statement. When the query is executed Year, Month, ScheduledSeconds, TotalDays and Totaltrucks match up, but blast_seconds column shows the same value through out all the months.

Here is my query:

SELECT      DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])      AS [Year]
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])     AS [Month]
        ,   SUM(Total)                  AS ScheduledSeconds
        ,   COUNT(DISTINCT([Time]))     AS TotalDays
        ,   COUNT(DISTINCT(Equipment))  AS TotalTrucks
        ,   (
                SELECT      SUM(CASE 
                                    WHEN dbo.reasons.status_id = '298' 
                                        THEN (dbo.by_operator_reasons.seconds) 
                                    ELSE 0 
                                END)        
                FROM        dbo.reasons     
                INNER JOIN  by_operator_reasons 
                ON          dbo.reasons.id = by_operator_reasons.reason_id
                INNER JOIN  equipment
                ON          by_operator_reasons.equipment_id = equipment.id     
                WHERE       reasons.descrip LIKE 'Blast' 
                AND         [Time] BETWEEN '2011-01-01' AND '2012-05-15'
                AND         by_operator_reasons.deleted_at IS NULL
                AND         equipment.type = 'Truck'
            ) AS Blast_Seconds              
FROM        by_equipment_times
WHERE       [Time] BETWEEN '2011-01-01' and '2012-05-15' 
AND         equipment_type  = 'Truck'
GROUP BY    DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])
ORDER BY    DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])      ASC
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])     ASC

Here is my current output:

The subquery is not corelated to main query, that is it does not depend on it. You need to connect it, and I believe that you want to do it using Time column.

SELECT      DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])      AS [Year]
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])     AS [Month]
        ,   SUM(Total)                  AS ScheduledSeconds
        ,   COUNT(DISTINCT([Time]))     AS TotalDays
        ,   COUNT(DISTINCT(Equipment))  AS TotalTrucks
        ,   (
                SELECT      SUM(CASE 
                                    WHEN dbo.reasons.status_id = '298' 
                                        THEN (dbo.by_operator_reasons.seconds) 
                                    ELSE 0 
                                END)        
                FROM        dbo.reasons     
                INNER JOIN  by_operator_reasons 
                ON          dbo.reasons.id = by_operator_reasons.reason_id
                INNER JOIN  equipment
                ON          by_operator_reasons.equipment_id = equipment.id     
                WHERE       reasons.descrip LIKE 'Blast' 
                AND         DATEPART(YEAR, [Time]) = DATEPART(YEAR, by_equipment_times.[Time])
                AND         DATEPART(MONTH, [Time]) = DATEPART(MONTH, by_equipment_times.[Time])
                AND         by_operator_reasons.deleted_at IS NULL
                AND         equipment.type = 'Truck'
            ) AS Blast_Seconds              
FROM        by_equipment_times
WHERE       [Time] BETWEEN '2011-01-01' and '2012-05-15' 
AND         equipment_type  = 'Truck'
GROUP BY    DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])
ORDER BY    DATEPART(YEAR, [Time])      ASC
        ,   DATEPART(MONTH, [Time])     ASC

If you regularly take more than few months it would probably pay off to convert subquery to derived table, grouping by year/month and outer-joining to main query.
