Using a sum with a distinct in SQL - sql

Question

I have a query that returns the data i'm looking for using a distinct, but when I SUM that data I get a wrong amount for a my hierachy point '4-2-0-0-5-2'. 4-2-0-0-5-2 has multiple rows so when I sum it, it doesn't add up correctly. What would be the best way to incorporate a distinct into a SUM statement. Any help would be appreicated. Thanks.
First query :
Select distinct B.Proj_Nbr,c.proj_cc,h.proj_cc, h.Proj_Hier, B.Proj_Nm, D.Fscl_Per, A.Amount
from acct_bal a
inner join dim_proj b on a.dim_proj_id = b.dim_proj_id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map c on c.proj_nbr = b.proj_nbr
inner join dim_per_mo d on d.dim_per_mo_id = a.dim_per_mo_id
Inner Join Dim_Acct F On A.Dim_Acct_Id = F.Dim_Acct_Id
Inner Join Dim_Org G On A.Dim_Org_Id = G.Dim_Org_Id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map h on h.proj_cc = g.cost_ctr
inner join dim_org g1 on c.proj_cc = g1.cost_ctr
Where F.Fin_Lee_Nbr = 500
and c.proj_hier like '4-2-0-0-5-2%'
And A.Dim_Scnro_Id = '45'
And D.Fscl_Yr = '2014'
And b.Proj_Nbr = '9005459'
and fscl_per ='1'
RESULT of 2 rows:
9005459 0358080 0358080 4-2-0-0-5-2 Global Sales.com (iSell) 179777.09
9005459 0358080 0358057 4-2-0-0-5-5 Global Sales.com (iSell) 2257.3**
When I want to sum the data I use this query below. This gives me the two rows i'm looking for, but proj_hier 4-2-0-0-5-2 has the wrong amount because it has multiple rows.
Select B.Proj_Nbr,c.proj_cc, h.Proj_Hier, B.Proj_Nm, D.Fscl_Per, sum(A.Amount)
from acct_bal a
inner join dim_proj b on a.dim_proj_id = b.dim_proj_id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map c on c.proj_nbr = b.proj_nbr
inner join dim_per_mo d on d.dim_per_mo_id = a.dim_per_mo_id
Inner Join Dim_Acct F On A.Dim_Acct_Id = F.Dim_Acct_Id
Inner Join Dim_Org G On A.Dim_Org_Id = G.Dim_Org_Id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map h on h.proj_cc = g.cost_ctr
inner join dim_org g1 on c.proj_cc = g1.cost_ctr
Where F.Fin_Lee_Nbr = 500
and c.proj_hier like '4-2-0-0-5-2%'
And A.Dim_Scnro_Id = '45'
And D.Fscl_Yr = '2014'
And b.Proj_Nbr = '9005459'
and fscl_per ='1'
group by B.Proj_Nbr,c.proj_cc,f.dim_acct_id, h.Proj_Hier, B.Proj_Nm, D.Fscl_Per
having Sum(A.Amount) <> 0
Order By H.Proj_Hier, B.Proj_Nbr, D.Fscl_Per

Please Generalize the Question and then ask, If i understood your problem Here is solution:
General Query :
select sum(a.amountColumn) from your_table
group by agrrColumnName;
If i change your query :
Select distinct B.Proj_Nbr,c.proj_cc,h.proj_cc, h.Proj_Hier, B.Proj_Nm, D.Fscl_Per, sum(A.Amount)
from acct_bal a
inner join dim_proj b on a.dim_proj_id = b.dim_proj_id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map c on c.proj_nbr = b.proj_nbr
inner join dim_per_mo d on d.dim_per_mo_id = a.dim_per_mo_id
Inner Join Dim_Acct F On A.Dim_Acct_Id = F.Dim_Acct_Id
Inner Join Dim_Org G On A.Dim_Org_Id = G.Dim_Org_Id
inner join essbase_fcs.projects_hier_map h on h.proj_cc = g.cost_ctr
inner join dim_org g1 on c.proj_cc = g1.cost_ctr
Where F.Fin_Lee_Nbr = 500
and c.proj_hier like '4-2-0-0-5-2%'
And A.Dim_Scnro_Id = '45'
And D.Fscl_Yr = '2014'
And b.Proj_Nbr = '9005459'
and fscl_per ='1' group by B.Proj_Nbr;
