I am trying to SUM values generated from a CASE/WHEN statement. The only problem is that the values come from different fields.
Example:
This is a set of overhead values from one item out of many in my query. In this example, I need to SUM the overhead values 14.850000 and 1.166600 to 16.016.
The vac_type column determines the type of costs. In this case, when vac_type = WO1 or WO2, they are overhead costs. W10 is not, thus the NULL value.
In all, there are 12 vac_types that are overhead values. They are all listed in my CASE/WHEN statement. I need to SUM all of these overhead values by item_no, but since the vac_type field has two different values, my query considers them DISTINCT from each other and unable to be summed.
This is my unsuccessful attempt to SUM Overhead by item_no. It generates the list in which the screenshot above comes from:
SELECT DISTINCT 'Overhead' = SUM(CASE
WHEN vac_type IN('A01', 'AD0', 'ADX', 'A01', 'CI0', 'DO1', 'DP9',
'O20', 'PWO', 'TO1', 'WO1', 'WO2')
THEN (Cost_Values)
ELSE NULL
END,
item_no,
comp_item,
vac_type
FROM table_1
GROUP BY item_no,
comp_item,
vac_type
Thank you to @Lamak for answering. In order to SUM overhead by item_no, any unique fields need to be removed from the SELECT and GROUP BY statement. By removing vac_type, I got the data I needed.
