is it possible to add a COMPUTE statement to roll up a GROUP BY total?
OR is there another way (i.e. WITH ROLLUP)
SELECT ID, SUM(Amount) AS Amount
FROM tblTable GROUP BY ID
COMPUTE SUM(Amount)
doesn't work
thanks

let's say the data is like this:

ID 1 Amount 10.00

ID 1 Amount 20.00

ID 2 Amount 10.00

then the results I want is

ID Amount

1 30.00

2 10.00

sum

40.00

Are you looking for something like this?

--create test table

CREATE TABLE #test (

id INT,

amount MONEY)

--insert sample data

INSERT INTO [#test]

SELECT 1,10.00

UNION ALL

SELECT 1,20.00

UNION ALL

SELECT 2,10.00

SELECT ID, SUM(Amount) AS Amount

FROM [#test]

GROUP BY [ID] WITH Rollup

--cleanup

DROP TABLE [#test]

Using Luke's good code example, you can label to "sum", as well...

--create test table

CREATE TABLE #test (

id INT,

amount MONEY)

--insert sample data

INSERT INTO [#test]

SELECT 1,10.00

UNION ALL

SELECT 1,20.00

UNION ALL

SELECT 2,10.00

SELECT CASE WHEN GROUPING(ID) = 0 THEN STR(ID,10) ELSE 'Sum Total' END AS ID, SUM(Amount) AS Amount

FROM [#test]

GROUP BY [ID] WITH Rollup

--cleanup

DROP TABLE [#test]

Of course, everyone will tell you that should be done in the GUI... except maybe for me.

Thanks Jeff, I know you explained the logic to add the Sum bit for the total line, but I didn't have time to identify which one of your articles it was in, as I was running out the door yesterday when I wrote this. If you could post a link that'd be very helpful.

Thanks.

Absolutely no problem. I gave it just a casual mention in one of the CrossTab articles. The GROUPING is much better explained in Books Online if you lookup "GROUP BY clause, GROUPING function"
