Can anyone please help me how can I resolve this error ?
SELECT
tb_sales_person_source.id,
tb_sales_person_source.name,
tb_sales_person_source.display_name,
tb_sales_person_source.mapped_sales_person_source_id,
tb_sales_person_source.company_id,
tb_sales_person_source.gm_created,
tb_sales_person_source.gm_modified,
COUNT(tb_Episode.id) AS total_soc,
SOCDate, MonthSOC
FROM
tb_Episode
JOIN
tb_sales_person_source ON tb_sales_person_source.id = tb_Episode.sales_referral_source_id
WHERE
(BranchID = '238' OR BranchID = '239' OR BranchID = '240' OR BranchID = '241')
AND tb_Episode.CustID = '27'
AND PayerType = 'Ep'
AND SOC = 1
AND SOCDate >= '2016-04-01'
AND SOCDate < '2017-5-01'
GROUP BY
sales_referral_source_id, MonthSOC
ORDER BY
tb_sales_person_source.id ASC, tb_Episode.SOCDate ASC;

Answer 1

In SQL server, you must have to add all the columns of "SELECT" in "Group by" apart from the column which is used in the aggregate function
SELECT tb_sales_person_source.id
,tb_sales_person_source.NAME
,tb_sales_person_source.display_name
,tb_sales_person_source.mapped_sales_person_source_id
,tb_sales_person_source.company_id
,tb_sales_person_source.gm_created
,tb_sales_person_source.gm_modified
,count(tb_Episode.id) AS total_soc
,SOCDate
,MonthSOC
FROM tb_Episode
JOIN tb_sales_person_source ON tb_sales_person_source.id = tb_Episode.sales_referral_source_id
WHERE (
BranchID = '238'
OR BranchID = '239'
OR BranchID = '240'
OR BranchID = '241'
)
AND tb_Episode.CustID = '27'
AND PayerType = 'Ep'
AND SOC = 1
AND SOCDate >= '2016-04-01'
AND SOCDate < '2017-5-01'
GROUP BY sales_referral_source_id
,MonthSOC
,tb_sales_person_source.id
,tb_sales_person_source.NAME
,tb_sales_person_source.display_name
,tb_sales_person_source.mapped_sales_person_source_id
,tb_sales_person_source.company_id
,tb_sales_person_source.gm_created
,tb_sales_person_source.gm_modified
,SOCDate
ORDER BY tb_sales_person_source.id ASC
,tb_Episode.SOCDate ASC

It is impossible to accurately re-write your query until you update it to make it clear which table each column comes from.
The important piece of information you need to be aware of, however, is that when using GROUP BY every field in the SELECT must either have an aggregate function around it (MIN(), or MAX(), or SUM(), etc, etc), or be mentioned in the GROUP BY.
This means that the following is NOT valid SQL...
SELECT
t1.some_id,
t1.name,
t1.whatever,
COUNT(t2.id),
SUM(t2.value)
FROM
t1
INNER JOIN
t2
ON t2.some_id = t1.some_id
GROUP BY
t1.some_id
Instead you need one of the following...
SELECT
t1.some_id ,
t1.name,
t1.whatever,
COUNT(t2.id),
SUM(t2.value)
FROM
t1
INNER JOIN
t2
ON t2.some_id = t1.some_id
GROUP BY
t1.some_id,
t1.name,
t1.whatever
Or...
SELECT
t1.some_id,
MAX(t1.name),
MAX(t1.whatever),
COUNT(t2.id),
SUM(t2.value)
FROM
t1
INNER JOIN
t2
ON t2.some_id = t1.some_id
GROUP BY
t1.some_id
The same is true even if you are grouping by a column from table 2.
So, this is invalid too...
SELECT
t1.some_id,
t1.name,
t2.a_date,
COUNT(t2.id),
SUM(t2.value)
FROM
t1
INNER JOIN
t2
ON t2.some_id = t1.some_id
GROUP BY
t2.a_date
This time, however, you have an extra option. Use a sub-query to group up the data in table 2 first...
SELECT
t1.some_id,
t1.name,
t2_agg.a_date,
t2_agg.count_rows,
t2_agg.total_value
FROM
t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
some_id,
a_date,
COUNT(t2.id) AS count_rows,
SUM(t2.value) AS total_value
FROM
t2
GROUP BY
some_id,
a_date
)
t2_agg
ON t2_agg.some_id = t1.some_id
If you fully qualify your query (so I can see which table every column comes from) then I can show you how to use this method to suit your exact case.

Finally i resolved my query, here is my query, thanks to all of you for your help
SELECT tb_sales_person_source.id, tb_sales_person_source.name, tb_sales_person_source.display_name, count(tb_Episode.id) as total_soc, MonthSOC
FROM tb_Episode
JOIN tb_sales_person_source ON tb_sales_person_source.id = tb_Episode.sales_referral_source_id
WHERE ( BranchID = '238' or BranchID = '239' or BranchID = '240' or BranchID = '241')
AND tb_Episode.CustID = '27'
AND PayerType = 'Ep'
AND SOC = 1
AND SOCDate >= '2016-04-01'
AND SOCDate < '2017-5-01'
GROUP BY tb_sales_person_source.id, tb_sales_person_source.name, tb_sales_person_source.display_name, sales_referral_source_id, MonthSOC
ORDER BY tb_sales_person_source.id asc
