SQL grouping by month and year

Solution 1:

SELECT CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4)) AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4))

Or as @40-Love mentioned you can cast with leading zeroes:

GROUP BY 
  CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4)) + '-' + right('00' + CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) 

Solution 2:

I'm guessing this is MS SQL, as it looks like MS SQL syntax.

You should put the same thing in the group by as you have in the select.

For example:

Select MONTH(date)+'-'+YEAR(date), ....
...
...
...
group by MONTH(date)+'-'+YEAR(date)

Solution 3:

SQL Server 2012 above, I prefer use format() function, more simplify.

SELECT format(date,'MM.yyyy') AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY format(date,'MM.yyyy')

Solution 4:

Yet another alternative: 

Select FORMAT(date,'MM.yy')
...
...
group by FORMAT(date,'MM.yy')

Solution 5:

If I understand correctly. In order to group your results as requested, your Group By clause needs to have the same expression as your select statement.

GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)

To display the date as "month-date" format change the '.' to '-' The full syntax would be something like this.

SELECT MONTH(date) + '-' + YEAR(date) AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS
SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY MONTH(date) + '.' + YEAR(date)
