Question

I have 3 SELECT statements I’d like to combine into one:

SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname 
FROM feedbacks A 
    INNER JOIN users B 
         ON A.userid = B.userid 
WHERE DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
GROUP BY fullname

SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname 
FROM feedbacks A 
    INNER JOIN users B 
        ON A.userid = B.userid 
WHERE status = 'C' 
AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
GROUP BY fullname`

SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname 
FROM feedbacks A 
    INNER JOIN users B ON A.userid = B.userid 
WHERE caused_change = 1 
AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
GROUP BY fullname

But combining them always seems to return an error: (Operand should contain 1 column(s))

SELECT 
(SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname FROM feedbacks A INNER JOIN users B ON A.userid = B.userid WHERE DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' GROUP BY fullname) AS T1,  
(SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname FROM feedbacks A INNER JOIN users B ON A.userid = B.userid WHERE status = 'C' AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' GROUP BY fullname) AS T2,  
(SELECT COUNT(A.id), CONCAT(B.fname,' ', B.lname) AS fullname FROM feedbacks A INNER JOIN users B ON A.userid = B.userid WHERE caused_change = 1 AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' GROUP BY fullname) AS T3

So I tried removing the JOIN and GROUP from the individual statements to make:

SELECT CONCAT(B.fname, ' ', B.lname) AS fullname,
(SELECT COUNT(A.id) FROM feedbacks A WHERE DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11') AS T1,  
(SELECT COUNT(A.id) FROM feedbacks A WHERE status = 'C' AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11') AS T2,
(SELECT COUNT(A.id) FROM feedbacks A WHERE caused_change = 1 AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11') AS T3
FROM feedbacks 
    INNER JOIN users B 
        ON feedbacks.userid = B.userid 
GROUP BY fullname

But that returns totals for everything vs. breakdown by user (because the counts don’t say anything about userid or fullname in the where clause, no doubt).

I feel like I’m close but missing something. Can anyone point me in the correct direction here? I’m just trying to learn what I’m doing wrong.

Thank you for your time.

The best way is to use a conditional SUM :

SELECT CONCAT(B.fname, ' ', B.lname) AS fullname,
       SUM(
           CASE WHEN DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
           THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
       ) AS T1,
       SUM(
           CASE WHEN status = 'C' 
                 AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
           THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
       ) AS T2,
       SUM(
           CASE WHEN caused_change = 1 
                 AND DATE(origindate) BETWEEN '2011-03-01' AND '2011-07-11' 
           THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
       ) AS T3
FROM feedbacks 
    INNER JOIN users B 
        ON feedbacks.userid = B.userid 
GROUP BY fullname
