Question

I’m using SQL Server 2008 and I have a table that has a ‘Status’ column in it. There are five possible statuses: Submitted, In Progress, Deleted, Implemented, Not Implemented.

I’m trying to figure out to write a SQL Statement that will return the count of each of these statuses but my code is either returning the number statuses, or the count of a specific status. Here’s what I was working with:

SELECT     COUNT(ServiceAreaID) AS ServiceArea
FROM         Suggestions
WHERE     (ServiceAreaID = 6)

or this one

SELECT     COUNT(DISTINCT ServiceAreaID) AS ServiceArea
FROM         Suggestions

Answer 1

For one:

SELECT Status, COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.Suggestions
WHERE ServiceAreaID = 6
GROUP BY Status;

For all:

SELECT ServiceAreaID, Status, COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.Suggestions
GROUP BY ServiceAreaID, Status;
