If you tried to run the query

select [Imp],sum(Assigned Group='abc')abc from [MAN_Dump$] grouped by [Imp])

in Query Analyser/SSMS/Access Query you are going to get all sorts of syntax errors.
You might want something like

select [Imp],sum(Assigned) abc from [MAN_Dump$] group by [Imp]

If you are really using SQL then I suggest using the SqlDataAdapter Class (System.Data.SqlClient)[^] rather than the OleDbDataAdapter Class (System.Data.OleDb)[^] ... either way you will need to get the syntax of the query right

Solution 1

Incorrect syntax in your SUM function.

SQL SUM() Function[^]

What are you trying to accomplish?

That's the "how"; I want to know the "what".

Perhaps you could show a small amount of sample data and what value you want to calculate.
