Hello,

I am having a little trouble trying to figure this one out.

My query is this

SELECT DISTINCT fcompany
,SUM(fnetprice) As "TotalPrice"
,MAX(CONVERT(DATE,fduedate)) AS "LastPurchase"
FROM SalesHistory
Group by fcompany

I would like to filter out of the results 2 things..

#1 I would like ONLY the results where "TotalPrice" > 1000
#2 I would like "LastPurchase" only to be the system sate -365 days
(I know I can achieve that like This: CONVERT(DATE, fduedate) > dateadd(day,-365,getdate())

But neither of the 2 conditions I can add in a WHERE / AND clauses.

Is there any other way I can achieve what I'm looking for?

where fduedate>getdate()-365
Group by fcompany
HAVING SUM(fnetprice) > 1000

Why both DISTINCT and GROUP BY?

I usually catch those and remove the DISTINCT. Missed it this time!

Question:

Seems like this query is filtering all the INDIVIDUAL records where fduedate>getdate()-365 and HAVING SUM(fnetprice) > 1000

But!

I really would like to just not show that fcompany in the summary.

Example: What I did, I took the summaries (SUM, Group by, MAX) and took a sample of the data

fcompany custno fprice date
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 532.6 8/1/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 532.6 8/1/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 406.3 7/17/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 406.3 7/17/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 14 7/11/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 532.6 7/9/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 325.04 7/2/2013
TCI POWDER COATING 50565 325.04 7/2/2013

and it's filterin out the records in red... I would like for that company not show at all in the summary (when I insert again the group by, etc)

Does that make sense?

I didn't follow it.

OK, let me rephrase my question...

The ultimate goal is to only show accounts that don't have sales history in over one year and have bought more than $1000.

When I run this, the query is only taking out the individual records in the past year, but it's still showing the account in the summary

So, in the small data sample I took, it's Showing that TCI POWDER COATING has bought only $325.04 x 2 (the last 2 rows, because the fduedate>getdate()-365 condition holds true) but in reality, all I want is to discard that account from my report altogether because it does have sales history in the past year.

Does it make sense now?

I was thinking a subquery might work here? I'm having trouble finding a logic for this :-(
