Hi Everyone.

I'm hoping someone can take a look at my code here to see what I am missing. I'm trying to create a sub-query and name its alias, and then include that alias/column in the outer select query. But when I do that I get the error message Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 7

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'. If you could take a look that would be awesome. Thanks.

I would start by giving all tables a short alias (some tables do not have any) and use it in all respective columns so it is clear to anyone which table a column is from.

you are also missing a comma after "P2.lastname as technicaladministrator" - formatting the code helps identify these issues.

regarding the subquery - as alias are missing we don't know if that subquery is related to the main query or how.

SELECT PK_CertificationData
     , CertificationDecisionValidFrom AS StatusDate
     , ValidUntil
     , CertificationResultText
     , IsDataLevel
     , FirstCertificationDate
     , P1.PK_Person
     , P1.LastName AS ClientName
     , P1.Nr1 AS ClientID
     , PK_ProductToPerson
     , CertificateGroup
     , ProductCategory
     , ProductID
     , TradeName
     , Brand
     , Scope
     , InspectionService.Name
     , ActivatedOn
     , Attribute2 AS DoNotPublish
     , Attribute3 AS HighRisk
     , Free1 AS MonitoredRisk
     , Free2 AS SingleIng
     , P2.LastName AS TechnicalAdministrator
       (SELECT Product.Name
       FROM Product.AdditionalCategoryToProductToPerson 
       INNER JOIN Product.Product
          ON PK_Product = FK_Product
       INNER JOIN Product.ProductToPerson
          ON PK_ProductToPerson = FK_ProductToPerson
       WHERE ProductToPerson.isDeleted = 0
         AND AdditionalCategoryToProductToPerson.IsDeleted = 0
         AND ReasonForInactiveText = 'active') AS AdditionalCategory
FROM Product.ProductToPerson 
INNER JOIN Base.Person P1
      ON P1.PK_Person = Product.ProductToPerson.FK_Person
INNER JOIN Product.ServiceToProductToPerson
      ON Product.ServiceToProductToPerson.FK_ProductToPerson = Product.ProductToPerson.PK_ProductToPerson
INNER JOIN Base.InspectionService
      ON ServiceToProductToPerson.FK_InspectionService = InspectionService.PK_InspectionService
INNER JOIN Product.BrandToProductToPerson
      ON BrandToProductToPerson.FK_ProductToPerson = ProductToPerson.PK_ProductToPerson
INNER JOIN Certification.CertificationData C1
      ON ProductToPerson.PK_ProductToPerson = C1.FK_ProductToPerson
LEFT JOIN Base.Person P2
      ON P2.PK_Person = C1.FK_Person_CertificationBody

  AND P1.IsDeleted = 0;

Hi Frederico_fons.

Ok, so you're saying I should add aliases to all the tables and a comma where you mentioned...and then reupload the code to take a look...

Will start working on that...may take me a day or two.

Thanks for your help!
