Hi Guys,

Here is my Query. I want to group by "ClientName". I did that but still i am getting the duplicates, i did used the distinct also.
Can you guys help me what i am doing wrong. Appreciate your help

Thanks,

SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.clientName AS RSN,SUM(tblSpot.rateActual) AS TotalAmount, tblBroadcastMonth.description AS BroadCastMonth
FROM tblContract INNER JOIN
tblSpot ON tblContract.pkid = tblSpot.fkContract INNER JOIN
tblClient ON tblContract.fkClient = tblClient.pkid CROSS JOIN
tblBroadcastMonth
GROUP BY tblClient.clientName, tblBroadcastMonth.description, tblSpot.dateActual
HAVING (tblBroadcastMonth.description LIKE '%DEC 05%') AND (tblSpot.dateActual BETWEEN '12/1/2005' AND '12/31/2005')

Since you're including the column [dateActual] in your GROUP by, you will get a row for each datetime value (I assume that column is datetime or smalldatetime)

EDIT:
I would also move your having clause up to a where clause. Pehaps:


SELECT	tblClient.clientName AS RSN
	,SUM(tblSpot.rateActual) AS TotalAmount
	,tblBroadcastMonth.description AS BroadCastMonth
FROM	tblContract 
JOIN	tblSpot ON tblContract.pkid = tblSpot.fkContract 
JOIN	tblClient ON tblContract.fkClient = tblClient.pkid 
CROSS JOIN tblBroadcastMonth

where	tblBroadcastMonth.description LIKE '%DEC 05%'
and	tblSpot.dateActual BETWEEN '12/1/2005' AND '12/31/2005'

GROUP BY tblClient.clientName
	,tblBroadcastMonth.description
