Re: Syntax of case statement using a count function

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

How about just changing your example a little? Instead of sales, use 1:

 Select fielda, fieldb,
  sum(case when "MONTH" = 1 then 1 else 0 end)
  sum(case when "MONTH" = 2 then 1 else 0 end)
  .
  .
  .
 From Filez
 Group by fielda, fieldb
