Need help using Group BY with data from an OLE DB connection

Hello! I need some help. Never worked with an OLE DB source before and I am having trouble understanding how to do a Group By. I am trying to calculate how many packages is shipped per user by hour. I am trying to group the fields Username and Date so that it is unique and I can then count how many packages were shipped by hour. I tried to pull the data in one table but it did not like that. I tried to do a join then a resident table and use Group By but it didn't like that either. Is it because the data is from two different Data sources?

Is there only 1 Ship per Invoice Number? Or is there sometimes multiple Ship rows per Invoice Number?

It seems to me that the left join you posted should work as the first step. BTW, it's a good idea to specify the target table in the join like this:

LEFT JOIN (Ship)

Then you should be able to create a new table from the Resident Ship.

ShipCount:
LOAD count(Invoice_Number) as ShipCount,
username,
DateHour
Resident Ship
Group by username, DateHour;
