The error message you meet is missing in your report although it could
surely help in accurate analysis. However I guess it is about using
alias (like "Monthly_count") for defining project columns (like the one
you tried and failed). Alias columns are used to rename displayed
columns; they cannot be used as terms of other projected columns but
they can be used within GROUP BY clauses. For example, the given GROUP
BY clause may be rewritten (simplier) as:
GROUP BY "Artnr_ID", "Artnr_ID", "Jaar", "Maand", "val1", "val2", "val3"
and even as:
GROUP BY "Artnr_ID", "Date_plan", "val1", "val2", "val3"
as "Jaar" and "Maand" refer to column "Date_plan" which is not passed to
aggregating functions but is effectively aggregated.
Hoping this is a track for you.
Regards.
