How to get totals of each group in SQL

Asked by mark_goodall in SQL Query Syntax

Tags: SQL, SQL, SQL

How do I get a secondary COUNT in an SQL query?
I have a table called ITEMS as shown below. I have an SQL query with a GROUP BY giving me a report, but I need more detail in the report.
What SQL query do I need to get the desired report?  I'm doing this in ASP(classic) if that matters.

Thanks!

Sample table data:
 
LIST   - CODE - STATUS
-------------------------
BANNER -  01  - A
BANNER -  02  - A
BANNER -  03  - A
BANNER -  04  - F
BANNER -  05  - R
BANNER -  06  - R
BANNER -  07  - R
BANNER -  08  - R
NEWS   -  01  - A
NEWS   -  02  - A
NEWS   -  03  - F
NEWS   -  04  - F
NEWS   -  05  - A
PEOPLE -  01  - A
PEOPLE -  02  - A
PEOPLE -  03  - A
PEOPLE -  04  - A
PEOPLE -  05  - A
PEOPLE -  06  - F
 
 
 
 
This SQL query:
 
SELECT LIST, COUNT(*) AS COUNTER FROM ITEMS WHERE STATUS<>'X' GROUP BY LIST;
 
Produces this report:
 
LIST - COUNT
----------------- 
BANNER - COUNT= 8
NEWS   - COUNT= 5
PEOPLE - COUNT= 6
 
 
What SQL query do I need to submit to get a report more like this:
 
BANNER - COUNTSTATUS-A = 3 - COUNTSTATUS-F = 1 - COUNTSTATUS-R = 4 
NEWS   - COUNTSTATUS-A = 2 - COUNTSTATUS-F = 2 - COUNTSTATUS-R = 0
PEOPLE - COUNTSTATUS-A = 5 - COUNTSTATUS-F = 1 - COUNTSTATUS-R = 0
