Hello there.

I have a script that will give me three columns and a count(column_ref)

see below.

desc1/ desc2/ desc3/ count(column_ref)
where clause.
group by
order by

that i can acheive easily, but i want to have another count(column_ref) next to the first one using same description columns but with different criterias,

like

desc1/ desc2/ desc3/ count(column_ref)as 'passed', count(column_ref)as 'AllOthers'

does anyone have any idea?

Regards

Rob

count( case when somecol =  somecondition then column_ref end ) as passed,
count( case when somecol <> somecondition then column_ref end ) as allothers

One of these
COUNT(CASE WHEN desc1 = 'All others' THEN column_ref END) AS 'All others'
-- or
SUM(CASE WHEN desc1 = 'All others' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'All others'
filter the expression within the aggregate using a case expression - I am only guessing what the expression should be. Change it as appropriate.
