aggregate function

The following statement fail to generate my expected result:
select A.part_id, sum( (B.total + sum(C.amount)) * D.rate)
from A, B, C , D
where B.part_id = A.part_id and C.line_id = B.line_id and convert(char(6),
B.date, 112) = D.code
It generates the error of "Cannot perform an aggregate function on an
expression containing an aggregate or a subquery.".
Could anyone please give me a hand?
Thanks in advance.

The following query returns the expected results:
SELECT Y.part_id, SUM(Y.AnotherSum*D.rate) as TheSum
FROM (
SELECT X.part_id, X.code, SUM(X.TotalPlusAmount) as AnotherSum
FROM (
SELECT B.part_id, CONVERT(char(6),B.date,112) AS code,
B.total+ISNULL((
SELECT SUM(C.amount)
FROM C WHERE B.line_id=C.line_id
),0) as TotalPlusAmount
FROM B
) X GROUP BY X.part_id, X.code
) Y INNER JOIN D ON Y.code = D.code
GROUP BY Y.part_id
Razvan|||Thanks, Razvan.
Frankly, your SQL statement is complicated to me. would you kindly explain
it to me?
Thanks again.

Read it from the inner-most query, like this:
First, we compute B.Total+SUM(C.Amount) for each row in B (using a
correlated subquery to get the sum of C.Amount, wrapped in an ISNULL,
just in case there are no rows in table C for a certain line_id).
Then we compute AnotherSum, as the sum of the TotalPlusAmount (the
value computed above), for each part_id and X.code; we defined earlier
that X.code is the month/year of B.date.
Then we join the above result to table D, on the column code, to get
the rate corresponding to each month/year. We compute TheSum as the sum
of AnotherSum (the value calculated above), multiplicated by the
corresponding rate, for each part_id.
Razvan|||Hi There,
You may like to try this one out exactly what razvan suggested. The
join of four tables seems reductant.
1) First taking B as base table find the sum(amount from C table ofr
lineids in B)
2) Join the derived table with D on code
3) Apply your formula (b.total+ sum(c.amt) )*rate
Select Der1.Part_ID , Sum(Tot) From (
Select Der.Part_id,Sum(Der.Total+Isnull(X,0))*D.Rate Tot From
(
Select B.part_id , b.Total ,
(
Select sum(C.amount) from C where C.line_id=B.line_id
) X ,
convert(char(6),date,112) Code from B
) Der
Inner Join D On D.Code=Der.Code
group by Der.Part_Id,D.rate
) Der1 Group by Part_id
With Warm regards

Agent is suspect

I'm getting this error on the distribution agent. Am I correct when I say
this would be expected in a testing environment where transactions are not
being processed by the database regularly? I have now up'd the inactivity
threshold to like 720 :-)
Also, what’s the best way to recover and/or bypass the error?
Thanks,
Mark
You are not correct that you will get this error when there are no
transactions to be applied - you get this message when the agent is busy. I
would investigate what the agent is hanging on using profiler on the
subscriber or by doing logging.
