Syntax

SUM ( [ ALL | DISTINCT ] expression )

Arguments

ALL
Applies the aggregate function to all values. ALL is the default.
DISTINCT
Specifies that SUM return the sum of unique values.
expression
Is a constant, column, or function, and any combination of arithmetic, bitwise, and string operators. expression is an expression of the exact numeric or approximate numeric data type category, except for the bit data type. Aggregate functions and subqueries are not permitted. For more information, see Expressions (Transact-SQL).

Return Types

Returns the summation of all expression values in the most precise expression data type.

Expression result	Return type
tinyint	int
smallint	int
int	int
bigint	bigint
decimal category (p, s)	decimal(38, s)
money and smallmoney category	money
float and real category	float

Examples

A. Using SUM for aggregates and row aggregates

The following examples show the differences between aggregate functions and row aggregate functions. The first shows aggregate functions giving only the summary data, and the second shows row aggregate functions giving both the detail and summary data.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT Color, SUM(ListPrice), SUM(StandardCost)
FROM Production.Product
WHERE Color IS NOT NULL 
    AND ListPrice != 0.00 
    AND Name LIKE 'Mountain%'
GROUP BY Color
ORDER BY Color;
GO

Here is the result set.

Color

--------------- --------------------- ---------------------

Black 27404.84 15214.9616

Silver 26462.84 14665.6792

White 19.00 6.7926

(3 row(s) affected)

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT Color, ListPrice, StandardCost
FROM Production.Product
WHERE Color IS NOT NULL 
    AND ListPrice != 0.00 
    AND Name LIKE 'Mountain%'
ORDER BY Color
COMPUTE SUM(ListPrice), SUM(StandardCost) BY Color;
GO

Here is the result set.

B. Calculating group totals with more than one column

The following example calculates the sum of the ListPrice and StandardCost for each color listed in the Product table.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT Color, SUM(ListPrice), SUM(StandardCost)
FROM Production.Product
GROUP BY Color
ORDER BY Color;
GO

Here is the result set.

Color

--------------- --------------------- ---------------------

NULL 4182.32 2238.4755

Black 67436.26 38636.5002
