I am pulling through some data in SQL Server and I would like to GROUP BY my results but cannot get it to work.

This is my current SQL statement:

SELECT
   PA01201.CUSTNMBR, 
   PA01201.PACONTNUMBER, 
   PA01201.PAcontid, 
   PA01100.CUSTNMBR AS Expr1, 
   PA01100.PAcontname, 
   PA01100.PAcontid AS Expr2, 
   PA01100.PACONTNUMBER AS Expr3, 
   PA01201.PAprojname, 
   PA01201.PAPROJNUMBER
   PA01201.Cost

FROM        
   PA01201 
INNER JOIN
   PA01100 ON PA01201.CUSTNMBR = PA01100.CUSTNMBR AND 
              PA01201.PACONTNUMBER = PA01100.PACONTNUMBER AND 
              PA01201.PAcontid = PA01100.PAcontid

It returns these results:

CUSTNMBR    PACONTNUMBER    PAcontid    Expr1   Pacontname  Expr2   Expr3   Paprojname  PAPROJNUMBER    Cost
AD001           8051    8051    AD001           Company 1   8051    8051    Project 1   08051P          951
AP001           8063    8063    AP001           Company 2   8063    8063    Project 2   08063P          2651
AR002           8096    8096    AR002           Company 3   8096    8096    Project 3   08096P          807
AR003           9033    9033    AR003           Company 4   9033    9033    Project 4   09033P          458

AS001           8013    8013    AS001           Company 5   8013    8013    Project 5   08013P          48
AS001           8013    8013    AS001           Company 5   8013    8013    Project 5   08013P          641
AR002           8096    8096    AR002           Company 3   8096    8096    Project 3   08096P          1000

I would like to be able to group the result by PAcontid.

Can anyone advise the easiest way to do this?

When I try and insert a GROUP BY clause I get an error stating that the other columns (CUSTNMBR, PAPROJNUMBER) etc are not included in the clause????

Any help much appreciated.

All work is being done in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2

Sorry for some reason my last column (Cost) didn;t come through. I have updated my question to show the proper fields. Basically what I am trying to do is get a total cost for each Pacontid.

I would like my results to look something like ……..

CUSTNMBR    PACONTNUMBER    PAcontid    Expr1   Pacontname  Expr2   Expr3   Paprojname  PAPROJNUMBER    Cost
    AS001           8013    8013    AS001           Company 5   8013    8013    Project 5   08013P          3986
    AD001           8051    8051    AD001           Company 1   8051    8051    Project 1   08051P          951
    AP001           8063    8063    AP001           Company 2   8063    8063    Project 2   08063P          2651
    AR002           8096    8096    AR002           Company 3   8096    8096    Project 3   08096P          1807
    AR003           9033    9033    AR003           Company 4   9033    9033    Project 4   09033P          458

Is this possible in what I am trying to do?

    When using GROUP BY, all the selected columns must be in the GROUP BY clause or, if not, an aggregate function (ex: SUM, MAX, MIN, AVG) around it!

    For more info, check THIS.

    In you case, a possible solution might be:

    SELECT  MAX(PA01201.CUSTNMBR),
        MAX(PA01201.PACONTNUMBER),
        PA01201.PAcontid,
        MAX(PA01100.CUSTNMBR AS Expr1,
        MAX(PA01100.PAcontname),
        MAX(PA01100.PAcontid) AS Expr2,
        MAX(PA01100.PACONTNUMBER) AS Expr3,
        MAX(PA01201.PAprojname),
        MAX(PA01201.PAPROJNUMBER)
FROM       PA01201
INNER JOIN PA01100 ON PA01201.CUSTNMBR = PA01100.CUSTNMBR
       AND PA01201.PACONTNUMBER = PA01100.PACONTNUMBER
       AND PA01201.PAcontid = PA01100.PAcontid
GROUP BY PA01201.PAcontid
