Question

This should be really simple. I am using SSMS 2008, trying to get a sum of just one column. Problem is that I currently group on this one column and also use a HAVING statement. How do I get sum of total # of records > 1? This is my T-SQL logic currently:

select count(*) as consumer_count from #consumer_initiations
group by consumer
having count(1) > 1

But this data looks like:

consumer_count 
----------------
2
2
4
3
...

Answer 1

Wrap it?

SELECT SUM(consumer_count)
FROM (
    select count(*) as consumer_count from #consumer_initiations
    group by consumer
    having count(1) > 1
) AS whatever
