I have a table in which has 1300 rows and a colum has 800 unique values,100 twice repeated values and 100 3times repeated values.

now i have added a new column which would have 1's and 0's
1 for each unique entery and 0 for every second or 3rd entery

so that when i sum it up it should give 1000 -- SUM(column)=1000

consider the repeated as one so that that will give me the count of unique for my report in the warehouse to use that column in microstrategy for counting

If the sum is all you are after, you can get that without adding a column to the table.

select
	count( distinct MyColumn )
from
	MyTable


CODO ERGO SUM
