 WHERE t1.OrderStatusID = 3 AND t1.OrderDate BETWEEN '" + LastWeekDate + "' AND '" + TomorrowsdaysDate + "')

 GROUP BY t2.ItemID ORDER BY Quantity desc");

Answer 1

you’re missing the FROM section in the outer SELECT statement (line 2)

What you have in there is a WHERE condition

Also i dont think you need a sub query for this

try this

('  SELECT TOP 5 t2.ItemID, SUM(t2.Quantity)  as Quantity 
    FROM Orders as t1 
        INNER JOIN BasketItems as t2 on t2.BasketID = t1.BasketID
    WHERE t1.OrderStatusID = 3 
    AND t1.OrderDate BETWEEN '" + LastWeekDate + "' AND '" + TomorrowsdaysDate + "'
    GROUP BY t2.ItemID ORDER BY 2 desc
 ');
