2012-06-01 England 669
2012-06-01 America 114
2012-06-02 England 211

Total sales per day per town for a given month

2012-06-01 Andover 82
2012-06-02 Andover 4

I have been trying various queries with group by, sum, and count, but can't get the correct output.

any simple solutions or guidance welcome. Thanks in advance

Try this:

Total sales per day per country for a given month:

SELECT date_occurred, country, SUM(quantity)
FROM tableA 
WHERE YEAR(date_occurred) = 2013 AND MONTH(date_occurred) = 6
GROUP BY date_occurred, country

Total sales per day per town for a given month:

SELECT date_occurred, town, SUM(quantity)
FROM tableA 
WHERE YEAR(date_occurred) = 2013 AND MONTH(date_occurred) = 6
GROUP BY date_occurred, town
