Trying to use the following and I keep getting a syntax error

Select Job.Department,
Sum(Job.TotalTicket)
From Job
Group By Job.Department
Where Job.SchedDate Between DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 0)AND DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 1))

I swear I've used this before and it worked just fine to pull data for Today's Date.

You have an extra parenthesis and you need to move the GROUP BY after the WHERE clause.:

elect Job.Department,
Sum(Job.TotalTicket)
From Job
Where Job.SchedDate Between DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 0)AND DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 1)) 
Group By Job.Department

other small issue is using BETWEEN will cause it include records that got created on midnight next day as well

so if you really want result to be restricted to today much safer way would be


..
Where Job.SchedDate >=DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
AND Job.SchedDate < DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()), 1)
