Hi, how can I group by a calculated column? I am trying to do what is below and it is not working.

select
case when StartingIv >= 0 and StartingIv < 0.1 then '0-0.1'
when StartingIv >= 0.1 and StartingIv < 0.2 then '0.1-0.2'
when StartingIv >= 0.2 and StartingIv < 0.3 then '0.2-0.3'
when StartingIv >= 0.3 and StartingIv < 0.4 then '0.3-0.4'
when StartingIv >= 0.4 and StartingIv < 0.5 then '0.4-0.5'
when StartingIv >= 0.5 and StartingIv < 0.6 then '0.5-0.6'
when StartingIv >= 0.6 and StartingIv < 0.7 then '0.6-0.7'
when StartingIv >= 0.7 and StartingIv < 0.8 then '0.7-0.8'
when StartingIv >= 0.8 and StartingIv < 0.9 then '0.8-0.9'
when StartingIv >= 0.9 and StartingIv < 1 then '0.9-1'
when StartingIv >= 1 and StartingIv < 1.1 then '1-1.1'
else 'ELSE'
end as IvRange

you need to write case again in group by clause:

select
 case  when StartingIv >= 0 and StartingIv < 0.1 then '0-0.1' 
 when StartingIv >= 0.1 and StartingIv < 0.2 then '0.1-0.2'
 when StartingIv >= 0.2 and StartingIv < 0.3 then '0.2-0.3'
 when StartingIv >= 0.3 and StartingIv < 0.4 then '0.3-0.4'
 when StartingIv >= 0.4 and StartingIv < 0.5 then '0.4-0.5'
 when StartingIv >= 0.5 and StartingIv < 0.6 then '0.5-0.6'
 when StartingIv >= 0.6 and StartingIv < 0.7 then '0.6-0.7'
 when StartingIv >= 0.7 and StartingIv < 0.8 then '0.7-0.8'
 when StartingIv >= 0.8 and StartingIv < 0.9 then '0.8-0.9'
 when StartingIv >= 0.9 and StartingIv < 1 then '0.9-1'
 when StartingIv >= 1 and StartingIv < 1.1 then '1-1.1'
 else 'ELSE'
 end as IvRange

 group by  case  when StartingIv >= 0 and StartingIv < 0.1 then '0-0.1' 
 when StartingIv >= 0.1 and StartingIv < 0.2 then '0.1-0.2'
 when StartingIv >= 0.2 and StartingIv < 0.3 then '0.2-0.3'
 when StartingIv >= 0.3 and StartingIv < 0.4 then '0.3-0.4'
 when StartingIv >= 0.4 and StartingIv < 0.5 then '0.4-0.5'
 when StartingIv >= 0.5 and StartingIv < 0.6 then '0.5-0.6'
 when StartingIv >= 0.6 and StartingIv < 0.7 then '0.6-0.7'
 when StartingIv >= 0.7 and StartingIv < 0.8 then '0.7-0.8'
 when StartingIv >= 0.8 and StartingIv < 0.9 then '0.8-0.9'
 when StartingIv >= 0.9 and StartingIv < 1 then '0.9-1'

it is not clear why do you nned in this query group by" - maybe you need SELECT DISTINCT instead of group by

but you can try:

--------------------
select
a.*
FROM
(

select
case when StartingIv >= 0 and StartingIv < 0.1 then '0-0.1'
when StartingIv >= 0.1 and StartingIv < 0.2 then '0.1-0.2'
when StartingIv >= 0.2 and StartingIv < 0.3 then '0.2-0.3'
when StartingIv >= 0.3 and StartingIv < 0.4 then '0.3-0.4'
when StartingIv >= 0.4 and StartingIv < 0.5 then '0.4-0.5'
when StartingIv >= 0.5 and StartingIv < 0.6 then '0.5-0.6'
when StartingIv >= 0.6 and StartingIv < 0.7 then '0.6-0.7'
when StartingIv >= 0.7 and StartingIv < 0.8 then '0.7-0.8'
when StartingIv >= 0.8 and StartingIv < 0.9 then '0.8-0.9'
when StartingIv >= 0.9 and StartingIv < 1 then '0.9-1'
when StartingIv >= 1 and StartingIv < 1.1 then '1-1.1'
else 'ELSE'

Not exactly. Any column not contained in a group by needs to have an aggregate function applied to (min, max, sum, count, avg and the like). The second suggestion has to be:

select 
a.IvRange, sum(Profit) as Profit
FROM
(
select
 case  when StartingIv >= 0 and StartingIv < 0.1 then '0-0.1' 
 when StartingIv >= 0.1 and StartingIv < 0.2 then '0.1-0.2'
 when StartingIv >= 0.2 and StartingIv < 0.3 then '0.2-0.3'
 when StartingIv >= 0.3 and StartingIv < 0.4 then '0.3-0.4'
 when StartingIv >= 0.4 and StartingIv < 0.5 then '0.4-0.5'
 when StartingIv >= 0.5 and StartingIv < 0.6 then '0.5-0.6'
 when StartingIv >= 0.6 and StartingIv < 0.7 then '0.6-0.7'
 when StartingIv >= 0.7 and StartingIv < 0.8 then '0.7-0.8'
 when StartingIv >= 0.8 and StartingIv < 0.9 then '0.8-0.9'
 when StartingIv >= 0.9 and StartingIv < 1 then '0.9-1'
 when StartingIv >= 1 and StartingIv < 1.1 then '1-1.1'
 else 'ELSE'
 end as IvRange
