Must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function

Symptom

Red blinking outline on Query after adding data and computing an aggregate, e.g. Sum, Count, Max. Display logs shows the journal entry highlighted here:

Must appear in the GROUP BY.jpg

Underlying cause

Number of values don't synch up resulting in an error when adding data to the temporary worktable.

Fix

Edit additional data and (1) Check the Group box for any columns that do not contain aggregates, and (2) Click Advanced parameters and check Group data by the targeting dimension element.

Preventative

When adding additional data and computed aggregates in a Query, maker sure every column in the worktable is an aggregate or Group by, including the targeting dimension.

I am getting a postgreSQL error while updating the schema which contains aggregate function sum.

Hi Amit, you need to click on the Advanced link when editing the additional data and activate the checkbox to Group by the targeting dimension.

This post is referring to a segmentation or Campaign workflow, not a web form rendering workflow.
