count question

have a table (A) that contains fields:
[OPENDATE] [datetime] NULL
[CLSDDATE] [datetime] NULL
[DUEDATE] [datetime] NULL
[PRIORITY] [varchar] (30
[USERID] [int] NULL
and table (B) that contains fields:
[USERID] [int] NOT NULL
[DEPT_NUM] [varchar] (30)
[DEPT] [varchar] (30)
-- the variables ae declared and set
select B.dept_num, count(*) from A inner join B on B.userid = A.userid where
A.opendate between @.startdate and @.enddate
and A.clsddate > A.duedate and B.dept = @.dept group by B.dept_num order by
B.dept_num
This gives me two columns, but I also need a third column with a count that
meets this criteria
where As.opendate between @.startdate and @.enddate
and B.dept = @.dept
Wanting result to be:
dept A 23 47
dept B 44 89
deptcC 28 17
etc...

How about giving us proper DDL and some sample data that we can correlate to
the desired results, instead of a word problem?
http://www.aspfaq.com/5006|||Try not filtering in the where clause, and instead use a case expression to
calculate both columns.
select
B.dept_num,
sum(
case when A.opendate between @.startdate and @.enddate
and A.clsddate > A.duedate and B.dept = @.dept then 1 else 0 end
) as c1,
sum(
case when As.opendate between @.startdate and @.enddate
and B.dept = @.dept then 1 else 0 end
) as c2
from
A inner join B on B.userid = A.userid
group by
B.dept_num
order by
B.dept_num
go

Great, congratulations! Alejandro is more willing than the rest of us to
make guesses and potentially do a bunch of work for nothing. Do you think
http://www.aspfaq.com/5006 was written just so we can be bullies? Or do you
not comprehend the point of it all?

count number of lines in a clumn

The SP returns a column which contains
Error: 1212121
Error: 3434fsfa
Error: fdfdfd
Each above line has Char(10) + Char(13) attached so they will start a new line
Now I want to know the number of errors returns by using pattern "Error". Is
there any function I can use to do this?
thanks.In SQL you could do something like:
(LEN(columname) - LEN(REPLACE(columnname, 'Error' , '') ) / 5
I am not sure what the equivalent VB.Net syntax would look like to do it in
SRS.

COUNT FUNCTION ON MULTIPLE COLUMNS

I have a database that contains a column for UnitName , BeginDate and
EndDate.

I want to pass two parameters (@.BeginDate and @.EndDate) and retrieve a
table of values

that include UnitName along with Counts for each UnitName.

SELECT UnitName, COUNT(BeginDate) AS Start
(SELECT COUNT(EndDate) AS Finish WHERE EndDate BETWEEN @.BeginDate AND
@.EndDate)
FROM Table
WHERE BeginDate BETWEEN @.BeginDate AND @.EndDate
GROUP BY UnitName
ORDER BY UnitName

This works. But when I try to add another count by using a subselect I
get an error dealing with GROUP BY not including the column in my
subselect.

Assuming the BeginDates are always <= the corresponding EndDates, you
can do:

SELECT UnitName,
COUNT(CASE WHEN BeginDate
BETWEEN @.BeginDate AND @.EndDate THEN 1 END) AS BeginDate,
COUNT(CASE WHEN EndDate
BETWEEN @.BeginDate AND @.EndDate THEN 1 END) AS EndDate
FROM tbl
WHERE BeginDate <= @.EndDate
AND EndDate >= @.BeginDate
GROUP BY UnitName
ORDER BY UnitName;

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
