Re: Calculate sum of distinct Rows

The duplicate entries for a particular SSN are going to have to be eliminated by some means or SUM is going to continue to sum all of them. Why do the duplicates exist? What if duplicate SSNs had different request amounts? Are these multiple requests for the same amount? Many questions. The issues go deeper than simply trying to ignore the duplicates to why the duplicates are there in the first place.
