SQL help

I have a file that looks like this...

TYPE INV_DATE
____ ________
MI 11/30/03
MI 11/30/03
MI 11/30/03
NG 11/30/03
WP 11/30/03
CN 11/30/03
MI 11/30/03
WP 11/30/03
NG 11/30/03
MI 11/30/03

I want to write a query that will allow me to get a count for the total occurance of each type within a date range. I was guessing something like this...

select
count(*) as total
count(type-'MI') as moneyinvoice
count(type='WP') as wip
count(type='CN') as cancel
from filename
where inv_date>= '11/30/2003'

I would expect the query answer to look like this:

Total moneyinvoice wip cancel
10 5 2 3

can you help me with this? Thanks!

The parameter for count can only be a field name.

You could do:

DELCARE @EndDate DateTime
SET @EndDate = '11/30/2003'

SELECT
COUNT(*) as total,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='MI' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as moneyinvoice,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='WP' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as wip,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='CN' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as cancel
FROM filename
WHERE inv_date >= @EndDate

or to make it look a little neater, but do the same:

DELCARE @EndDate DateTime
SET @EndDate = '11/30/2003'

SELECT
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE AND inv_date>= @EndDate) as total,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='MI' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as moneyinvoice,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='WP' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as wip,
(SELECT count(*) FROM filename WHERE type='CN' AND inv_date >= @EndDate) as cancel

Code:

SELECT 	COUNT(*) as Totals, 
		CASE WHEN GROUPING(Type) = 1 THEN 'Total' 
			ELSE Type 
		END as Type
	FROM dbo.FileName
	GROUP BY Type WITH ROLLUP

Quick to code and will not be limitted to only values you code for. Of course if you decide to return more complete names from the database (ie. moneyinvoice) you will want to add it into the second part of the case statement as another case statement.

another way:

Code:

select count(*) as total
     , sum(case when type = 'MI'
                then 1 else 0 end ) as moneyinvoice
     , sum(case when type = 'WP'
                then 1 else 0 end ) as wip
     , sum(case when type = 'CN'
                then 1 else 0 end ) as cancel
  from filename
 where inv_date >= '11/30/2003'
