Simple Count? 2

[tlove161]

Hello

I have a simple question that has me stumped. I have a two column table, [EVENT_ID], [OUTCOME]. [OUTCOME] has "yes" or "no" values. Is it possible to count both the yes and no is one query? Thank you.

SELECT Count(IIf([OUTCOME]="yes",1,0)) As [Yes],Count(IIf([OUTCOME]="no",1,0)) As [No]
FROM yourTable

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,
You are usually so invincible. Surely you meant to use Sum(...) rather than Count(...).
SELECT Sum(IIf([OUTCOME]="yes",1,0)) As [Yes], Sum(IIf([OUTCOME]="no",1,0)) As [No]
FROM yourTable

or
SELECT Sum(Abs([OUTCOME]="yes")) As [Yes], Sum(Abs([OUTCOME]="no")) As [No]
FROM yourTable
