Different output when using count and group by - sql

Question

When trying to get a count of IDs I get a different answer when grouping by day vs when I am not.
select cv.CONV_DAY, count(distinct cv.CLICK_ID)
from
clickcache.click cc
right join(
select distinct cv.CLICK_ID, cv.CONV_DAY, cv.PIXEL_ID
from clickcache.CONVERSION cv
where cv.CLICK_ID IS NOT NULL) cv ON cv.CLICK_ID = cc.ID
where cc.ADV_ACCOUNT_ID = 25176
and cv.CONV_DAY between '2016-8-01' AND '2016-08-07'
and AMP_CLICK_STATUS_ID = 1
AND pixel_id IN
(SELECT DISTINCT conversion_pixel_id
FROM
ampx.campaign_event_funnel ef
JOIN ampx.campaign cp ON
cp.id = ef.campaign_id
AND cp.campaign_status_id = 1
WHERE
ef.account_id IN(25176)
AND include_optimization = 1 )
group by 1
order by 1 asc
This yields 170 which is the correct answer and the I want. This, on the other hand, displays 157.
select count(distinct cv.CLICK_ID)
from
clickcache.click cc
right join(
select distinct cv.CLICK_ID, cv.CONV_DAY, cv.PIXEL_ID
from clickcache.CONVERSION cv
where cv.CLICK_ID IS NOT NULL) cv ON cv.CLICK_ID = cc.ID
where cc.ADV_ACCOUNT_ID = 25176
and cv.CONV_DAY between '2016-8-01' AND '2016-08-07'
and AMP_CLICK_STATUS_ID = 1
AND pixel_id IN
(SELECT DISTINCT conversion_pixel_id
FROM
ampx.campaign_event_funnel ef
JOIN ampx.campaign cp ON
cp.id = ef.campaign_id
AND cp.campaign_status_id = 1
WHERE
ef.account_id IN(25176)
AND include_optimization = 1 )
My question is why do I get this discrepancy and how to fix it to get a proper count?
Thank you!

Answer 1

Your count dependents from right query, maybe you have duplicate row?
example
table1
id name value
1 2 3
table2
id name value
1 4 5
2 6 3
1 6 3
right join tables on value get result
select * from table1 a right join table2 b on a.value = b.value
1 2 3 2 6 3
1 2 3 1 6 3
select count(distinct a.value)
from (select a.id, a.name, a.value, b.id, b.name, b.value
from table1 a right join table2 b on a.value = b.value)
result is 1
select b.id, count(distinct a.value)
from (select a.id, a.name, a.value, b.id, b.name, b.value
from table1 a right join table2 b on a.value = b.value group)
group by b.id
result is two rows
2 1
1 1
My guess is that, you have a problem for this reason.
