ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression (Case statement issue)

Ask Question
1

I am getting the ORA-00979 error message on the following query. I should preface
this by stating that I've read many of the discussions on this error on Stack
Overflow and still cannot find a solution. I'm also confident the error is coming
from the CASE statement, because when I completely removed the statement the query
has yielded results, and I also received results when I removed all of the CASE
statement except the 'SUM(Z.EQUITY_FOUR)' (that is, I'm also confident there is not
an issue with the database EQUITY_FOUR is pulling from).

SELECT
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE) as Yr,
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE) as Mth,
Q.CITY as City,
CASE WHEN pp.ISACTIVE = 'NO'
AND EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(YEAR FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE)
AND EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(MONTH FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE)
THEN SUM(Z.EQUITY_FOUR)
END as Cancelled

(From Statement)

(Where Statement)

GROUP BY EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE),

EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE),
Q.CITY,
CASE
WHEN pp.ISACTIVE = 'NO'
AND EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(YEAR FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE)
AND EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(MONTH FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE)
THEN SUM(Z.EQUITY_FOUR)
END

Concerning the CASE statement in the Group BY clause, while doing my research I
read this (ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression issue) post which contains two
responses stating to add the complete CASE statement to the GROUP BY expression and
which the author of the post claims worked for his query. I'm still getting the
above-specified error, however.

Thanks for any help!

I think you want the CASE inside the SUM():

SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE) as Yr,

EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE) as Mth,
Q.CITY as City,
SUM(CASE WHEN pp.ISACTIVE = 'NO' AND
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(YEAR FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE) AND
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.CANCELLATION_DATE) = EXTRACT(MONTH FROM
HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE)
THEN Z.EQUITY_FOUR
END) as Cancelled
(From Statement)
(Where Statement)
GROUP BY EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE),
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM HDS.MORTGAGE_START_DATE),
Q.CITY;
