Hi there,

I am having an issue with a script and I have got to the bottom of the troublesome part, but am unsure how to fix it.

When I run the below code in New Query window in Management Studio it works as I expect. When I execute it in a view in order to save it to attach it to a refreshable spreadsheet it fails.

The code is -

SELECT     MAX(WK.[TRASWEEK]) AS TRASWEEK
FROM         (SELECT DISTINCT [TRANS-WEEK] AS 'TRASWEEK'
                       FROM          dbo.[IH_RE-TNCY-TRANS] AS TRA6
                       WHERE      ([TRANS-DATE] > GETDATE() - 42) AND ([ACCOUNT-TYPE] = 'IN')
                       GROUP BY [TRANS-WEEK]) AS WK

When I run this in New Query. I get one result (correctly) of 27. 27 being the maximum week.

When I paste this in the view and execute it it changes the code to -

SELECT     MAX('TRASWEEK') AS Expr1
FROM         (SELECT DISTINCT [TRANS-WEEK] AS 'TRASWEEK'
                       FROM          dbo.[IH_RE-TNCY-TRANS] AS TRA6
                       WHERE      ([TRANS-DATE] > GETDATE() - 42) AND ([ACCOUNT-TYPE] = 'IN')
                       GROUP BY [TRANS-WEEK]) AS WK

This pulls me back just a result of "Trasweek" and not the 27 I would have hoped for. Why is 2012 doing this. Why is it changing my code?

Thanks

DOnt use view editor. Create the code using CREATE VIEW syntax in SSMS editor itself.
