Question

Please bear with me, as I have very little SQL knowledge.

Basically, I would like to be able to generate a list of totals from a table that holds data for various locations. Within the table, each row references the location’s ID and has a value:

ID      LocationID          Value
___    ____________        _______
 1          11               500
 2          11               400
 3          12               500
 4          12               600
 5          12               300
 6          13               400
 7          13               500

I would like to produce a list with each locationID and the total of all values within the “data” table.

Desired output:

LocationID         Total
__________         _____
    11              900
    12              1400
    13              900

I am sorry if I have explained it poorly… Like I said, I have very limited knowledge of SQL so I simply do not know where to start. If somebody could simply point me in the correct direction I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

Try below:

 SELECT LocationID, sum(value) AS Total
 FROM data
 GROUP BY LocationID;

I am assuming data is your table name and LocationID and value are column names.
