Help with SOQL - Field must be grouped or aggregated

Reading through other examples and I still can't see my issue.

SELECT CSR__r.name, sum(margin__c) FROM shipment__C WHERE Actual_Delivery_Date__c = this_month  group by CSR__r.name.

If I drop the aggregate and group by my simple list comes back just fine.

Thanks in advance!

Hi MNRob,

Happy New Year!

Try Replacing the WHERE clause with the HAVING clause 

For example

SELECT CSR__r.name, sum(margin__c)
FROM shipment__C
GROUP BY CSR__r.name
HAVING Actual_Delivery_Date__c = this_month  

Please see this guide for more detail https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_select_having.htm

Hello,

The only constraint is to have a groupable field and Name could not be:

Verify if your field is groupable with the developer console and the anonymous windows (CTRL + E)
Schema.DescribeFieldResult dfr = CSR.name.getDescribe();
system.debug('field CSR name: ' + dfr.isgroupable());

If dfr.isgroupable() is false, you have used a field Name of type Auto Number probably.

The query below works fine and you have used this exact pattern for your query but the Name has a Text type for Account:
select account__r.name,sum(test_number__c)
from testall__c
where test_date__c = THIS_MONTH
group by account__r.name

Best regards

Alain

Terri, I still got the error when using the having clause as suggested unfortunately. Alain, good thought. I ran the command as suggested in the anonymous window, but the field is groupable.

I appreciate both of you taking the time to respond!

What is the exact error message you are receiving?  Can you please include it?

I assume you already validated there is data stored for that object ;)

  1. Another option would be a governor limit (more than 50,000 rows) but the error should be different.
  2. From the workbench and the REST expolorer (Utillities): 

Replacing the banks with a sign "+" in the query.
