Hi!
I'm trying to do this:
INSERT INTO FilteredCaseIntermDetail(b.casenumber,b.owner,b.dataactivity,b.sumtime,
b.project,b.billingout,b.encomenda)
(SELECT a.casenumber,a.owner,a.dataactivity,
sum(a.sumtime),a.project,a.billingout,a.encomenda
FROM FilteredCaseInterm as a, FilteredCaseIntermDetail as b
WHERE a.statusactivity = 'Completed'
GROUP BY a.dataactivity)
but I get the error:
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'FilteredCaseInterm.casenumber' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Can please someone help me?

All of the fields referenced in the select that are not already part of an aggregrate function need to be in the group by clause (or include them in an aggregrate function).

ie. GROUP BY a.casenumber, a.owner, a.dataactivity, a.project, a.billingout, a.encomenda

BTW, did you notice that you are joining the FilteredCaseInterm table with the FilteredCaseIntermDetail table without any joining condition? You're going to get every "Completed" FilteredCaseInterm record joined with every record in the FilteredCaseIntermDetail table.
