How to select count records that "contain" data?

I have a table in SQL Server that looks like this:

Name Status
---------------------------
Steve Complete
Steve In Queue
John Pending
John Complete
John Complete
Tim In Queue

I need to throw a query at this that will return the number of
"Complete"'s that each person has. So the result would look like:

Name Completed
----------------------------
Steve 1
John 2
Tim 0

Can anyone help out with what a query statement would look like to get
the desired output?

I think this should work:


Select Name, Count (Status)
from <>
where status ='complete'
group by Name
order by Name

Re: How to select count records that "contain" data?

Yes, that works. But it doesn't show the row with no completes. So
unless a person has at least one complete, they won't show.

This will work for me, but is there a way to get it to include the
people with no completes?

Thanks again!

select Name, count(case Status when 'Complete' then 1 else 0 end)
from <>
group by Name
order by Name

I guess you meant


select Name, sum(case Status when 'Complete' then 1 else 0 end)
from <>
group by Name
order by Name

Yes, sorry.
