• Why read the table twice?

    SELECT

    sumyy = sum(yy),

    xx = ???('summary line') -- where ??? is an aggregate function

    FROM tablea

    CROSS APPLY (

    SELECT SurrogateGroup = CASE

    WHEN somedate_column < @startdate_parameter THEN <<constant value>>

    WHEN somedate_column between @startdate_parameter and @enddate_parameter THEN <<tablea.PK>>

    ELSE NULL end

    ) x

    WHERE SurrogateGroup IS NOT NULL -- or use somedate_column <= @enddate_parameter

    GROUP BY SurrogateGroup
