Fetchxml group by count issues

Posted on by SwathiD 200

I am trying to get the count of distinct organisations/accounts with the below fetchxml.

The below query has two employments with the same organisation so I am expecting count to be 1. However it is returning 2 . Any solutions? Thanks.

<fetch aggregate="true" returntotalrecordcount="true">
<entity name="sb_sb_employment_sb_application"> // Many to many relationship table
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="sb_applicationid" operator="eq" value="GUID" />
</filter>
<link-entity name="sb_employment" from="sb_employmentid" to="sb_employmentid" link-type="inner" alias="employment">

<filter>
<condition attribute="sb_dateto" operator="null" />
<condition attribute="sb_organisationid" operator="not-null" />
</filter>


<link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="sb_organisationid" link-type="inner">
<attribute name="accountid" alias="AccountKey" groupby="true" />
<attribute name="accountname" alias="billingname" aggregate="count" />
</link-entity>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>

    Use account id in place of account name in aggregate function.

    You can try below XML:

    <fetch aggregate="true" returntotalrecordcount="true">

    <entity name="sb_sb_employment_sb_application"> // Many to many relationship table

    <filter type="and">

    <condition attribute="sb_applicationid" operator="eq" value="GUID" />

    </filter>

    <link-entity name="sb_employment" from="sb_employmentid" to="sb_employmentid" link-type="inner" alias="employment">

    <filter>

    <condition attribute="sb_dateto" operator="null" />

    <condition attribute="sb_organisationid" operator="not-null" />

    </filter>

    <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="sb_organisationid" link-type="inner" alias="acc">

    <attribute name="accountid" alias="AccountKey" groupby="true" />

    <attribute name="accountid" alias="billingid" aggregate="count" />

    </link-entity>

    </link-entity>

    </entity>

    </fetch>

    To get a distinct count, you need to include a distinct attribute and also use countcolumn rather than count:

    <fetch aggregate="true" returntotalrecordcount="true">
<entity name="sb_sb_employment_sb_application"> // Many to many relationship table
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="sb_applicationid" operator="eq" value="GUID" />
</filter>
<link-entity name="sb_employment" from="sb_employmentid" to="sb_employmentid" link-type="inner" alias="employment">
<filter>
<condition attribute="sb_dateto" operator="null" />
<condition attribute="sb_organisationid" operator="not-null" />
</filter>

<link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="sb_organisationid" link-type="inner">
<attribute name="accountid" alias="AccountKey" groupby="true" />
<attribute name="accountname" alias="billingname" aggregate="countcolumn" distinct="true" />
</link-entity>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
