SUM within Loadscript = Invalid Expression

Daryn — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 09:25:00 GMT

Hello to all and thanks for taking the time to read/assist with this issue.

I have a sum that gives the right result in a table.

sum (([VGW03] / [BMSCH]) * [GMNGA]) /60

I want to create that value as a field I can use, so assumed I could do this in the load script.

When I try I get an 'invalid expression' load script error.

My load script is (have removed the full SQL address);

The above script works okay without the line;

SUM (([VGW03] / [BMSCH]) * [GMNGA] /60) as [Line Hours],

It will also load with that line but without SUM in front of it (but the value of [Line Hours] is then not correct).

The error I get is below, but strangely does not appear to point at the SUM line?

Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

ps.. I also noticed that the error doesn't show the last ';' but it is in the loadscript. Assume that is just the way it reports.

When you use aggregation function like sum, max, min, you need to use group by the remaining columns..

Hope it helps

Hi, many thanks for your response.

I hadn't used group by before, but think I have worked it out?

[Line Hours]:
NoConcatenate
Load
[VGW03],
[BMSCH],
[GMNGA],

SUM (([VGW03] / [BMSCH]) * [GMNGA]) /60 as [Line Hours]
// Lab (Min) / Base QTY * Confirmed QTY

Resident [ZUK_CAPU]
Group by [VGW03], [BMSCH], [GMNGA];

Though my calculation still looks to differ to if I just use

SUM (([VGW03] / [BMSCH]) * [GMNGA]) /60 as [Line Hours]

as a calculated measure in a table?

Any thoughts/ideas?

Again , thanks for your time and advice.

Regards Daryn

Hi, you don't need to group this, just remove the SUM:

(([VGW03] / [BMSCH]) * [GMNGA]) /60 as [Line Hours]

You use group by when you want to aggregate something on one or more dimensions.

edit: missed this part: "It will also load with that line but without SUM in front of it (but the value of [Line Hours] is then not correct)."

Should work correct, what result do you get?
