Sql Query throwing error

I am trying a query for retrieving records according to divisions and display according to months and i have to sum up the salary allowance month wise, nd also show them month wise.

Here’s the query im trying :-

select  
    pmc.[month] as 'Month', 
    pmc.pd_name_of_project as 'Name of Project',
    tbl_div.name AS 'Name of Advisory Services Division',
    TBL_PMC_UNIT.UNIT_NAME AS 'Name of Unit',
    pmc.pd_project_type as 'Project Type',
    pmc.accepted_tender_cost as 'Accepted Tender Cost',
    pmc.work_order_date as 'Work Order Date',
    pmc.tender_period_months as 'Tender Period',
    pmc.project_completion_date as 'Project Completion Date',
    pmc.per_pmc_charges as '% Of PMC Charges',
    pmc.total_pmc_charges_scheme as 'Total PMC amount   of the Scheme',
    pmc.bill_amount_certified_upto_previous_month as 'Bill amount certified upto previous Month',     
    pmc.total_PMC_charges_upto_previous_month as 'Total PMC charges  upto previous Month',
    pmc.receipt_PMC_charges_upto_previous_month as 'Receipt of PMC Charges upto previous Month',
    pmc.balance_of_PMC_charges_upto_previous_month as 'Balance of PMC charges upto previous Month',
    pmc.bill_amount_certified_current_month as 'Bill amount certified During Current Month',
    pmc.PMC_charges_for_current_month as ' PMC charges  During Current Month',
    pmc.receipt_PMC_charges_current_month as 'Receipt of PMC Charges During Current Monthh',
    pmc.balance_of_PMC_charges_current_month as 'Balance of PMC charges During Current Month',
    SUM(pmc.salary_allowance) as 'Salary & Allowance Division'
FROM 
    TBL_PMC pmc 
        INNER JOIN TBL_DIV 
            ON TBL_DIV.ID = pmc.DIV_ID
        LEFT OUTER JOIN TBL_PMC_UNIT 
            ON TBL_PMC_UNIT.ID=pmc.UNIT_ID  
WHERE 
    pmc.div_id= 17 
    --and pmc.unit_id=@unit_id;
group by  
    pmc.[month]

Im having the following error :-
Column ‘TBL_PMC.pd_name_of_project’ is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
I dont want to use aggregate functions on all columns….just a few columns i have to sum up!!

Answer 1

With the GROUP statement you can use columns in the SELECT which are contained in the GROUP BY or has an aggregate function. – as the error message said.

You can try to use the SUM...OVER (PARTITION BY ...) clause in this case. Check MSDN.

So delete the Group By line and change your sum like this:

SUM(pmc.salary_allowance) OVER(PARTITION BY pmc.[month])
