Re: group by before and after date

I got it.
I had to put the whole case statement into the sum so my statement ended up:select
a.DueDate,a.PartID,a.AmountNeeded,a.CurrentStock,sum(coalesce(casewhen b.DatePromisedBy<=a.DueDate then
coalesce(b.QuantityOrdered,0)-coalesce(b.DeliveredSum,0)end,0))as ExpectedBefore,sum(coalesce(case when
b.DatePromisedBy>a.DueDate then coalesce(b.QuantityOrdered,0)-coalesce(b.DeliveredSum,0)end,0)) as ExpectedAfterfrom
TableAaleft join TableB on a.partid=b.partidgroup by a.DueDate,a.PartID,a.AmountNeeded,a.CurrentStock
