Hello All
Can you kindly advice what is wrong with this statement

COALESCE (SUM(Cost)) AS Cost,

I am getting this error

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

you forgot the second parameter -- COALESCE takes a minimum of two parameters (optionally, more than two)

if SUM(Cost) is NULL, what value do you want?

I presume you wanted this:
COALESCE (SUM(Cost)[!],0[/!]) AS Cost,

Hope This Helps, PH.
