SUM of COUNTS

I am trying to get the SUM of COUNTS.

I have the following code which is counting correctly:
'Count the number of POSITION #1 VACANCIES
      sqlCountVacancies1 = "SELECT Count(tblStaff.PositionStatus1) AS CountVacancies1 " & _
      "FROM tblStaff " & _
      "WHERE tblStaff.PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' "

      Set objCountVacancies1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
      objCountVacancies1.Open sqlCountVacancies1, objConn

I have 10 fields that I am counting: PositionStatus(1-10).
I now want to get a count of the total:
   CountVacancies1 + CountVacancies2 + CountVacancies3 + ..... CountVacancies10

I tried the following code:
'Count the TOTAL NUMBER OF VACANCIES
      sqlSumVacancies = "SELECT Sum(Count(CountVacancies1) + Count(CountVacancies2) + Count(CountVacancies3) + Count(CountVacancies4) + Count(CountVacancies5) + Count(CountVacancies6) + Count(CountVacancies7) + Count(CountVacancies8) + Count(CountVacancies9) + Count(CountVacancies10)) AS SumVacancies " & _

      Set objSumVacancies = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
      objSumVacancies.Open sqlSumVacancies, objConn

and get a Syntax error:

Set objSumVacancies = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

I think an easier way to do this would be to use a group by statement:

Select Sum(count(tblStaff.PositionStatus1))
From tblStaff
Group by tblStaff.PositionStatus1

Open in new window


This will return the sum of the count of all the different possible values of tblStaff.PositionStatus1.

You could add a where clause(in between the From and Group by clause for all specific tblStaff.PositionStatus1's you'd like such as
WHERE tblStaff.PositionStatus1='this' OR tblStaff.PositionStatus1='that' OR...

Open in new window


and so on

Sorry, I don't think I explained correctly.

I have 10 fields:
PositionStatus1
PositionStatus2
PositionStatus3
PositionStatus4
PositionStatus5
PositionStatus6
PositionStatus7
PositionStatus8
PositionStatus9
PositionStatus10

The first calculation is to count WHERE the Position status = Vacant (this is working)
The 2nd calculation that I am trying to do is to count the TOTAL of all the above.
Alex Matzinger
Oh, i see, well in that case your select statement doesn't need the SUM function, you can just add up all the counts, so it should be...
SELECT (Count(CountVacancies1) + Count(CountVacancies2) + Count(CountVacancies3) + Count(CountVacancies4) + Count(CountVacancies5) + Count(CountVacancies6) + Count(CountVacancies7) + Count(CountVacancies8) + Count(CountVacancies9) + Count(CountVacancies10)) AS SumVacancies

Open in new window


You should be able to add up the individual counts.  The SUM function is more used to SUM up a specific column of data.

I am getting a 'Expected Case' error.

'Count the TOTAL NUMBER OF VACANCIES
SELECT (Count(CountVacancies1) + Count(CountVacancies2) + Count(CountVacancies3) + Count(CountVacancies4) + Count(CountVacancies5) + Count(CountVacancies6) + Count(CountVacancies7) + Count(CountVacancies8) + Count(CountVacancies9) + Count(CountVacancies10)) AS SumVacancies

>> The first calculation is to count WHERE the Position status = Vacant (this is working)
Do you have another column as Position Status (or) Are you referring PositionStatus1, PositionStatus2 etc in the WHERE clause?
Alex Matzinger
If you are doing each count(PositionStatus[1-10]) seperately already, is it possible for you to store those values into an array, or into seperate variables, and just add them up normally.  Or do you have to do this using SQL?

To calculate the totals WHERE the 10 fields (PositionStatus(1-10) = VACANT I am using the following code for each field (changing the number from 1 to 10)

'Count the number of POSITION #1 VACANCIES
      sqlCountVacancies1 = "SELECT Count(tblStaff.PositionStatus1) AS CountVacancies1 " & _
      "FROM tblStaff " & _
      "WHERE tblStaff.PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' "

      Set objCountVacancies1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
      objCountVacancies1.Open sqlCountVacancies1, objConn

I then want a sum of all the CountVacancies. I don't think i need a WHERE clause in this statement.
I want a TOTAL of

CountVacancies1 + CountVacancies2 + CountVacancies3 .....
Sharath S
I think you are looking for something like this.

i am not clear which scenario you are wanting...

does the sum of the individual column counts have meaning  query 1

or do you really want query 2 which counts the occurences of any row with a 'Vacant' status?


sqlCountVacancies = "SELECT Count(case PositionStatus1 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end) " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus2 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus3 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _  
"+ Count(case PositionStatus4 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus5 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _  
"+ Count(case PositionStatus6 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus7 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _  
"+ Count(case PositionStatus8 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus9 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _
"+ Count(case PositionStatus10 when 'Vacant' then 1 else 0 end)  " & _  
    "FROM tblStaff " 

or

sqlCountVacancies = "SELECT Count(*) " & _
"FROM tblStaff "  & _
" where 'Vacant' in (positionstatus1,positionstatus2,positionstatus3,positionstatus4" & _
" ,positionstatus5,positionstatus6,positionstatus7,positionstatus8,positionstatus9,positionstatus10)"

I want the display for each field plus a total:

The attached code for the TOTAL is close but it is ONLY counting the first 3 fields.

NO

it is not just counting the first 3 fields.... WE ARE COUNTING ROWS

so the first query should have given the correct/desired result....

<Just a quick comment>

FWIW, (If i am understanding the basic issue here)

Perhaps your data should be "Normalized" into one field.
So instead of doing things like this:
=NZ(Fld1)+NZ(Fld2)+NZ(Fld3)...

You can simply do this:
=Sum(SomeField)

Again, just a comment, I'll let you continue with previous experts...

It isn't a sum of just one field, I am trying to get a total of 10 different fields where the data equals the text 'Vacant'.

Right now I am stuck with the following code, it is not correctly adding the results of the 10 separate fields:

'Count the TOTAL NUMBER OF VACANCIES
      sqlCountVacancies = "SELECT Count(*) AS CountVacancies " & _
      "FROM tblStaff "  & _
      "WHERE 'Vacant' IN (PositionStatus1,PositionStatus2,PositionStatus3,PositionStatus4,PositionStatus5,PositionStatus6,PositionStatus7,PositionStatus8,PositionStatus9,PositionStatus10) " 

      Set objCountVacancies = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
      objCountVacancies.Open sqlCountVacancies, objConn

My results(display) looks like this, but the Total Vacancies should be 56!

Number of Position 1 vacancies: 16
Number of Position 2 vacancies: 14
Number of Position 3 vacancies: 13
Number of Position 4 vacancies: 5
Number of Position 5 vacancies: 2
Number of Position 6 vacancies: 4
Number of Position 7 vacancies: 2
Number of Position 8 vacancies: 0
Number of Position 9 vacancies: 0
Number of Position 10 vacancies: 0
Total vacancies: 43

HELP!!!!

<It isn't a sum of just one field, I am trying to get a total of 10 different fields where the data equals the text 'Vacant'.>
That was my point, your data should be "normalized" into one filed, not multiple fields.
Then this would be easy.
Instead of having this:
Sat, Sun
2,4
3,1
9,7

You would have something like this:
Day, Amt
Sat,2
Sun,4
Sat,3
Sun,1
Sat,9
Sun,7

Again, this is the standard way this is done.

I understand that sometimes changing the Data format is not possible, this is why I stated:  
    <I'll let you continue with previous experts...>

The reason you are not getting the correct results with your current query is because you most likely have multiple fields set to vacant at a time and your query is counting those instances as 1.  

You need to most likely use Sharath_123's longer query to get the results you want. (with the added fix from Lowfatspread).  Please try this, post the entire query(again) and then post the entire error message.  Thank you.

Because you are doing each vacancy separately, change the total code to look like this:
sql CountVacanciesTotal = "SELECT  " & _ 
      "CountVacancies1 + CountVacancies2 + CountVacancies3 + CountVacancies4 + CountVacancies5 + CountVacancies6 + CountVacancies7 + CountVacancies8 + CountVacancies9 + CountVacancies10 AS TotalCount " & _
  	"FROM (SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies1, " 
               "SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus2 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies2, " _ & 
               "SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus3 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies3, " _ & 
               "SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus4 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies4, " _ & 
               "SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus5 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies5, " _ &

Sorry, I had tried adding the _ &.  Now I am getting the following error:

   Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0408'
   Invalid character
   "FROM (SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies1, " _ &
---------------------------^

I have really studied the code and cannot find the error!

I changed the _ & to  & _ and that eliminated the one error, but created a TYPE MISMATCH on the following line:

      sql CountVacanciesTotal = "SELECT  " & _

Does anyone know WHY I am now getting a TYPE MISMATCH?
Alex Matzinger
try surrounding all the columns that you are adding with parenthesis, i.e. 

 sql CountVacanciesTotal = "SELECT  " & _ 
      "(CountVacancies1 + CountVacancies2 + CountVacancies3 + CountVacancies4 + CountVacancies5 + CountVacancies6 + CountVacancies7 + CountVacancies8 + CountVacancies9 + CountVacancies10) AS TotalCount  " & _
...rest of the query...

I found the error for the TYPE MISMATCH (the space after sql)

Code is still generating a SYNTAX ERROR IN THE FROM clause

"FROM (SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies1, " & _
JLohman

If the parenthesis is removed in the FROM Line:

           "FROM SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN PositionStatus1 = 'Vacant' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) CountVacancies1, " & _

Then an error occurs in:
      objCountVacanciesTotal.Open sqlCountVacanciesTotal, objConn
(Code attached)
'Count the TOTAL NUMBER OF VACANCIES
sqlCountVacanciesTotal = "SELECT " & _ 
      "(CountVacancies1 + CountVacancies2 + CountVacancies3 + CountVacancies4 + CountVacancies5 + CountVacancies6 + CountVacancies7 + CountVacancies8 + CountVacancies9 + CountVacancies10) AS TotalCount " & _

I cannot tell why your code is giving you errors.  Here is another option.  though it is very inefficient and i would not suggest it for any type of large scale databse...

Select (temp1.p1 + temp2.p2 + ... + temp10.p10) as Total
from
(SELECT count(*) as p1
FROM tblStaff
WHERE PositionStatus1='VACANT') as temp1, 
(SELECT count(*) as p2
FROM tblStaff
WHERE PositionStatus2='VACANT') as temp2,
...
(SELECT count(*) as p10
FROM tblStaff
WHERE PositionStatus10='VACANT') as temp10
