Sum a column that corresponds a aggregate from a column of another table

Question

Sorry about the title, but i couldn't think of a better subject for my issue.

I've two tables in a many-to-one relationship between them and an other many-to-one relatioshop in the same table. I need to sum a column that corresponds a aggregate from a column of first table.

Here is a image that illustrate what i want:

I have no idea how to proceed with this.

Answer 1

This should do:

SELECT  ISNULL(E.idParent,E.id) Id,
        SUM(I.Value) [Sum]
FROM EXPENSE_TABLE E
LEFT JOIN INVOICE_TABLE I
    ON I.idExpense = E.id
GROUP BY ISNULL(E.idParent,E.id)

For the updated requirement:

SELECT  ISNULL(E.idParent,E.id) Id,
        E2.[description],
        SUM(I.Value) [Sum]
FROM EXPENSE_TABLE E
LEFT JOIN INVOICE_TABLE I
    ON I.idExpense = E.id
INNER JOIN EXPENSE_TABLE E2
    ON ISNULL(E.idParent,E.id) = E2.id
GROUP BY ISNULL(E.idParent,E.id),
         E2.[description]

Answer 2

You can get the results you are looking for by performing the aggregate sum operation on the results of the EXPENSE_TABLE joined to the INVOICE_TABLE.

For example:

SELECT e.idParent, SUM(i.value)
FROM EXPENSE_TABLE AS e
INNER JOIN INVOICE_TABLE AS i ON i.idExpense = e.id
GROUP BY e.idParent
ORDER BY e.idParent
