How can i get the counts of how many records updated and how many inserted with Merge

MERGE dbo.Student as Target
USING temp.student as Source
ON Target.Id = Source.Id
AND Target.Date = Source.Date
WHEN MATCHED AND (ISNULL(Target.StudentLocation,'') <> ISNULL(Source.StudentLocation,'')
OR ISNULL(Target.StudentCode,'') <> ISNULL(Source.StudentCode,''))
THEN UPDATE SET Target.StudentLocation = Source.StudentLocation ,
Target.StudentCode = Source.StudentCode,
Target.LfID = Source.LfID
WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT (Id,Date,StudentLocation,StudentCode,LfID)
VALUES (Source.Id,Source.Date,Source.StudentLocation,Source.StudentCode,Source.LfID )

on a merge, you can use $Action in an output statement to get what was inserted vs updated

Is this correct?

DECLARE @tableVar TABLE (MergeAction VARCHAR(20), InsertedId NVARCHAR(50), UpdatedId NVARCHAR(50),InsertedDate date, UpdatedDate date)

MERGE dbo.Student as Target

USING temp.student as Source

ON Target.Id = Source.Id

AND Target.Date = Source.Date

WHEN MATCHED AND (ISNULL(Target.StudentLocation,'') <> ISNULL(Source.StudentLocation,'')

OR ISNULL(Target.StudentCode,'') <> ISNULL(Source.StudentCode,''))

THEN UPDATE SET Target.StudentLocation = Source.StudentLocation ,

Target.StudentCode = Source.StudentCode,

Target.LfID = Source.LfID

WHEN NOT MATCHED

THEN INSERT (Id,Date,StudentLocation,StudentCode,LfID)

VALUES (Source.Id,Source.Date,Source.StudentLocation,Source.StudentCode,Source.LfID )

OUTPUT

$action, inserted.Id 'inserted', updated.Id 'updated' , inserted.Date 'inserted' , updated.Date 'updated' INTO @tableVar

;

SELECT MergeAction, COUNT(*)

FROM @tableVar

GROUP BY MergeAction

I am getting this error

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 31

The multi-part identifier "updated.Id" could not be bound.

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 31

The multi-part identifier "updated.Date" could not be bound.

The output statement is wrong. I should've looked closer. When you do an update, it puts the old data into deleted table and the new data into inserted. So it should be

OUTPUT

$action, inserted.Id , deleted.Id, inserted.Date , deleted.Date INTO @tableVar

;
