Group By clause with an inserted column

Good afternoon all,
I'm trying to write SQL that adds a descriptive column and groups on that
column but I get an error saying my inserted column is invalid. Can anyone
help? An example follows.
Sales Table:
Sales Type Amount
A 5.00
A 6.00
B 2.00
SQL:
SELECT
(CASE WHEN Sales Type = 'A' THEN 'TAXABLE SALES ' ELSE 'NONTAXABLE SALES'
END), SUM(Amount)
GROUP BY '?
Desired Result:
TAXABLE SALES 11.00
NONTAXABLE SALES 2.00
Thanks in advance,
Don J> GROUP BY '?
CASE
WHEN Sales Type = 'A' THEN 'TAXABLE SALES'
ELSE 'NONTAXABLE SALES'
END

create table #a (SalesType char(1) NOT NULL, Amount DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT
NULL)
go
Insert Into #a Values ('A', 5.00)
Insert Into #a Values ('A', 6.00)
Insert Into #a Values ('B', 2.00)
go
SELECT
CASE
WHEN SalesType = 'A' THEN 'TAXABLE SALES'
ELSE 'NONTAXABLE SALES'
END,
SUM(Amount)
From
#a
GROUP BY SalesType
go
drop table #a

wrapping it in " " or [ ] like so:
SELECT
CASE WHEN [Sales Type] = 'A'
THEN 'Taxable Sales'
ELSE 'NonTaxable Sales'
END AS "Sales Type",
SUM(Amount) AS "Amount"
GROUP BY [Sales Type]

GridView UPDATE Problem

Hi Gutys

I am having problem with my UPDATE in GridView, it is saying that I have too many argument, I don't
This happens when I click the UpdateCommand in GRIDVIEW

Procedure or function UpdateCountry has too many arguments specified.

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="mySqlDataSource" Runat="server"
SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" SelectCommand="ShowCountry"
UpdateCommandType="StoredProcedure" UpdateCommand="UpdateCountry"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnString %>">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Type="String" Name="CountryName"></asp:Parameter>
<asp:Parameter Type="String" Name="CountryID"></asp:Parameter>
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource
Just In case these are my Stored Procedures
**************************************************************************
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateCountry]
@.CountryName varchar(50),
@.CountryID varchar(50)
AS
UPDATE EkeanyanwuO.tCountry SET [CountryName] = @.CountryName WHERE [CountryID] = @.CountryID
GO
************************************************************************************
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ShowCountry] AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT EkeanyanwuO.tIMSREGION.ImsRegionName AS ImsRegionName, EkeanyanwuO.tCountry.CountryName AS CountryName,
EkeanyanwuO.tIMSREGION.ImsRegionID AS ImsRegionID, EkeanyanwuO.tCountry.CountryID AS CountryID
FROM EkeanyanwuO.tCountry INNER JOIN
EkeanyanwuO.tIMSREGION ON EkeanyanwuO.tCountry.ImsRegionID = EkeanyanwuO.tIMSREGION.ImsRegionID
ORDER BY EkeanyanwuO.tCountry.CountryName
GO
************************************************************************************

The ConflictDetection property of DataSource set to OverrideChanges. The problem will be solved. :D
