SUM (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW) SQL analytics endpoint in Microsoft Fabric Warehouse in Microsoft Fabric

Returns the sum of all the values, or only the DISTINCT values, in the expression. SUM can be used with numeric columns only. Null values are ignored.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

-- Aggregate Function Syntax
SUM ( [ ALL | DISTINCT ] expression )

-- Analytic Function Syntax
SUM ( [ ALL ] expression) OVER ( [ partition_by_clause ] order_by_clause)

Arguments

ALL

Applies the aggregate function to all values. ALL is the default.

DISTINCT

Specifies that SUM returns the sum of unique values.

expression

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 aren't permitted. For more information, see Expressions (Transact-SQL).

OVER ( [ partition_by_clause ] order_by_clause)

partition_by_clause divides the result set produced by the FROM clause into partitions to which the function is applied. If not specified, the function treats all rows of the query result set as a single group. order_by_clause determines the logical order in which the operation is performed. order_by_clause is required. For more information, see OVER Clause (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

Remarks

SUM is a deterministic function when used without the OVER and ORDER BY clauses. It's nondeterministic when specified with the OVER and ORDER BY clauses. For more information, see Deterministic and Nondeterministic Functions. Also, SUM might appear to behave as a nondeterministic function when you use it with float and real data types. But the underlying reason is the approximate nature of these data types.

Examples

A. Using SUM to return summary data

The following examples show using the SUM function to return summary data in the AdventureWorks2022 database.

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's the result set.

Color
--------------- --------------------- ---------------------
Black           27404.84              5214.9616
Silver          26462.84              14665.6792
White           19.00                 6.7926

B. Using the OVER clause

The following example uses the SUM function with the OVER clause to provide a cumulative total of yearly sales for each territory in the Sales.SalesPerson table in the AdventureWorks2022 database. The data is partitioned by TerritoryID and logically ordered by SalesYTD. This means that the SUM function is computed for each territory based on the sales year. For TerritoryID 1, there are two rows for sales year 2005 representing the two sales people with sales that year. The cumulative total sales value for these two rows is computed and then the third row representing sales for the year 2006 is included in the computation.

SELECT BusinessEntityID, TerritoryID
   ,DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate) AS SalesYear
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),SalesYTD,1) AS  SalesYTD
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),AVG(SalesYTD) OVER (PARTITION BY TerritoryID
                                            ORDER BY DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate)
                                           ),1) AS MovingAvg
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),SUM(SalesYTD) OVER (PARTITION BY TerritoryID
                                            ORDER BY DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate)
                                            ),1) AS CumulativeTotal
FROM Sales.SalesPerson
WHERE TerritoryID IS NULL OR TerritoryID < 5
ORDER BY TerritoryID,SalesYear;

Here's the result set.

In this example, the OVER clause doesn't include PARTITION BY. This means that the function will be applied to all rows returned by the query. The ORDER BY clause specified in the OVER clause determines the logical order to which the SUM function is applied. The query returns a cumulative total of sales by year for all sales territories specified in the WHERE clause. The ORDER BY clause specified in the SELECT statement determines the order in which the rows of the query are displayed.

SELECT BusinessEntityID, TerritoryID
   ,DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate) AS SalesYear
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),SalesYTD,1) AS  SalesYTD
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),AVG(SalesYTD) OVER (ORDER BY DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate)
                                            ),1) AS MovingAvg
   ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),SUM(SalesYTD) OVER (ORDER BY DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate)
                                            ),1) AS CumulativeTotal
FROM Sales.SalesPerson
WHERE TerritoryID IS NULL OR TerritoryID < 5
ORDER BY SalesYear;

Here's the result set.

C. A simple SUM example

The following example returns the total number of each product sold in the year 2003.

-- Uses AdventureWorks

SELECT ProductKey, SUM(SalesAmount) AS TotalPerProduct
FROM dbo.FactInternetSales
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20030101'
      AND OrderDateKey < '20040101'
GROUP BY ProductKey
ORDER BY ProductKey;

Here's a partial result set.

ProductKey  TotalPerProduct
----------  ---------------
214         31421.0200
217         31176.0900
222         29986.4300
225          7956.1500

D. 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.

-- Uses AdventureWorks

SELECT Color, SUM(ListPrice)AS TotalList,
       SUM(StandardCost) AS TotalCost
FROM dbo.DimProduct
GROUP BY Color
ORDER BY Color;

The first part of the result set is shown below:

Color       TotalList      TotalCost
----------  -------------  --------------
Black       101295.7191    57490.5378
Blue         24082.9484    14772.0524
Grey           125.0000       51.5625
