Question

I am running the below SQL but keep getting the error:-

‘Column ‘SRVS.dbo.BTQGLDistributionsWithProjectCodesHM.AccountNo’ is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an
aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

The code I am running is:-

SELECT         AccountNo, 
           TransDate, 
           JournalNo, 
           AuditTrail, 
           Description, 
           JnlAmount, 
           ACTINDX, 
           CONTRACTNAME, 
           PAPROJNUMBER,GROUPING(PAPROJNUMBER) as PAPROJNUMBER, 
           SUM(PAFeebillamount) as total
FROM       SRVS.dbo.BTQGLDistributionsWithProjectCodesHM
GROUP BY   PAPROJNUMBER with rollup
ORDER BY   GROUPING (PAPROJNUMBER

Can anyone point me in the correct direction on this?

Answer 1

When using a GROUP BY statement, anything not using an aggregate must be specified in the group by clause.

SELECT     AccountNo,  
           TransDate,  
           JournalNo,  
           AuditTrail,  
           Description,  
           JnlAmount,  
           ACTINDX,  
           CONTRACTNAME,  
           PAPROJNUMBER,GROUPING(PAPROJNUMBER) as PAPROJNUMBER,  
           SUM(PAFeebillamount) as total 
FROM       SRVS.dbo.BTQGLDistributionsWithProjectCodesHM 
GROUP BY   
       AccountNo,  
       TransDate,  
       JournalNo,  
       AuditTrail,  
       Description,  
       JnlAmount,  
       ACTINDX,  
       CONTRACTNAME,
       PAPROJNUMBER with rollup 
ORDER BY   GROUPING (PAPROJNUMBER)
