Calculated Columns

Hi,
In have a select query with one calculated column in the select column
collection. When I change the select FROM clause from table name to a table
defined with select statement, I get error. The query is:
DECLARE @.YearsSet TABLE (
[YEARCOLTIME] VARCHAR(8000))
INSERT @.YearsSet
SELECT [YEARCOLTIME]
FROM (SELECT *,
(CAST(YEAR([TIME]) AS VARCHAR)) AS [YEARCOLTIME]
FROM [MY_TABLE]) AS [TIMELEVELTABLE]
WHERE [YEARCOLTIME] = N'2000'
OR [YEARCOLTIME] = N'2001'
GROUP BY [YEARCOLTIME]
DECLARE @.ProductsSet TABLE (
[PRODUCTS] VARCHAR(8000))
INSERT @.ProductsSet
SELECT [PRODUCTS]
FROM [MY_TABLE]
WHERE [PRODUCTS] = N'IES XXI JK'
OR [PRODUCTS] = N'Troy Sys 4'
OR [PRODUCTS] = N'Core Series 12'
GROUP BY [PRODUCTS]
SELECT [TIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER],
[@.YEARSSET].[YEARCOLTIME],
(SUM(CAST([TIMELEVELTABLE].[SALES AMT] AS FLOAT))) AS
[AGGREGATEDSALES AMT],
(SELECT AVG([SALES AMT])
FROM (SELECT (SUM(CAST([FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE].[SALES AMT] AS
FLOAT))) AS [SALES AMT]
FROM (SELECT *,
(CAST(YEAR([TIME]) AS VARCHAR)) AS
[YEARCOLTIME]
FROM [MY_TABLE]) AS [FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE]
INNER JOIN @.ProductsSet AS [@.PRODUCTSSET]
ON [@.PRODUCTSSET].[PRODUCTS] =
[FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE].[PRODUCTS]
WHERE [TIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER] =
[FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER]
AND [@.YEARSSET].[YEARCOLTIME] =
[FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE].[YEARCOLTIME]
GROUP BY [@.PRODUCTSSET].[PRODUCTS]) AS [FUNCTIONTABLE]) AS
[AGGREGATEDFORMULA0]
FROM (SELECT *,
(CAST(YEAR([TIME]) AS VARCHAR)) AS [YEARCOLTIME]
FROM [MY_TABLE]) AS [TIMELEVELTABLE]
INNER JOIN @.YearsSet AS [@.YEARSSET]
ON [@.YEARSSET].[YEARCOLTIME] = [TIMELEVELTABLE].[YEARCOLTIME]
GROUP BY [TIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER],
[@.YEARSSET].[YEARCOLTIME]
(Please copy paste the query somewhere else, it’s much easier to read and
understand the problem)
The error I get is:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 24
Invalid column name 'DISTRIBUTION CENTER'.Can you replace the * with the column names and then try executing it and
repaste the query if it doesn't work (with the error message).
Thanks

The create table script was having a syntax error. Fixed it.
But here it seems to work fine in my machine :)
try removing the distribution center column from the select and the group by
of the final query and try..|||Hi,
Its not working here, somehow it doesn’t "recognize" the column:
[TIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER] in the row:
WHERE [TIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER] =
[FORMULATIMELEVELTABLE].[DISTRIBUTION CENTER].
Which in the calculated column.

the query analyzer was taking the next line of the comment as commented or
something similar.
I am not able to see what the problem might be :(
few last resorts..
If MY_TABLE is really your table then rename the column with an "_" in
between and try to get rid of this square brackets.
try it in a new QA window (Never knew I could get down to this level :)
use it as "DISTRIBUTION CENTER" instead of sq bracks..
