Formulating a count query - sql server 2012

Question

Hello,
I am quite new to SQL and even though I can handle simple queries I have run into a problem. Maybe you can help :-)
This is how the table I want to query from is structured:
   id   From                                 To                      
    Anomalies         
   1         01-08-2014 00:00:00       01-08-2014 00:30:00        24
   2       01-08-2014 00:00:00       01-08-2014 00:30:00
 80
   3         01-08-2014 00:00:00       01-08-2014 00:30:00        11
   4         01-08-2014 00:00:00       01-08-2014 00:30:00        10
   5         01-08-2014 00:00:00       01-08-2014 00:30:00        90
   1         01-08-2014 00:30:00       01-08-2014 01:00:00        20
   2         01-08-2014 00:30:00       01-08-2014 01:00:00        74
   3         01-08-2014 00:30:00       01-08-2014 01:00:00        11
   4         01-08-2014 00:30:00       01-08-2014 01:00:00        100
   5         01-08-2014 00:30:00       01-08-2014 01:00:00         98
The problem is to write a query that will return the number of anomalies per department for the month of, say, July 2014. The final result set should have 5 records.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thx

Answer 1

Thanks. The month condition is what I am after though :-) Would thiS WORK:select id, sum (Anomalies) as monthlySum from yourtable
WHERE Datename(month, From) = 'July' and DatenaME(month, To) = 'July'
group by id?Thanks.
