Hi all I have a table that has Part Numbers in and qyt used, I am after a query which will show me the most commonly used part number.

This is my attempt and failed

--first 10 orders
select top 10 *
from SLADB.dbo.PartsUsedTB
order by Qty

I realise I must group and sum somewhere ?

SELECT qty, Part_Number, sum(Cost)
FROM SLADB.dbo.PartsUsedTB
GROUP BY qty, Part_Number
ORDER BY qty, sum(Cost) desc

it should be


SELECT Part_Number
FROM SLADB.dbo.PartsUsedTB 
GROUP BY Part_Number 
ORDER BY SUM(qty) DESC

depending on how many results you want you can apply TOP N over it (Top 10, Top 50 etc)
