try this... Select SUM(SalesAmount) as SalesSum, EmpID >From EmpSales Where Quarter = 1 GROUP BY EmpID
you can use GROUP BY to group by that column. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pete Freitag ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CTO, CFDEV.COM ColdFusion Developer Resources http://www.cfdev.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Dave Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 8:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SUMMING Distinct Records Hello, I hae a table that has multiple records for the same EmpID with sales amounts for each EmpID entry. I am trying to SUM the SalesAmounts to create a quarterly report of total sales by Employee. <cfquery name="QuarterSales" datasource="EmpStats"> Select Distinct EmpID, SalesAmount >From EmpSales Where Quarter = 1 </cfquery> then I put it in cfgraph, as so: <cfgraph type="bar" Title="Employee Quarterly Sales" Query="QuarterSales" ValueColumn="SalesAmount" ItemColumn="EmpID" ColorList="blue,green"> </cfgraph> Needless to say it shows Sales for each EmpID, repeating the same ID for as many sales as their are. I try this but to no avail: <cfquery name="QuarterSales" datasource="EmpStats"> Select Distinct EmpID, SUM(SalesAmount) as SalesSum >From EmpSales Where Quarter = 1 </cfquery> Any Takers?
