Hi,

I have the following query:

SELECT AGENCY, COUNT(*)
FROM (SELECT A.AGENCY,SUM(A.NUM_LOGIN)
FROM GOVAGENCY A
WHERE AGENCY = 'DOD1'
GROUP BY A.AGENCY
UNION
SELECT B.AGENCY, SUM(B.NUM_LOGIN)
FROM GOVAGENCY B
WHERE AGENCY = 'DOD2'
GROUP BY B.AGENCY)
group by ROLLUP( AGENCY) ;

The results are:

AGECNY COUNT(*)
-------- -----------
DOD1 1
DOD2 1

2

The rollup value has a blank label instead I want to have a label to the rollup result also ex:

AGENCY COUNT(*)
--------- -----------
DOD1 1
DOD2 1

DEPT. OF DEFENSE 2

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Something like this example: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2066443 ? (although it groups by cube, but with rollup it would work the same way - DECODE is present only in SELECT clause, GROUP BY clause is unchanged).

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals.

Post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.

Regards
Michel

Use NVL + GROUPING. For example:

SQL> select  job,
  2          sum(sal)
  3    from  emp
  4    group by rollup(job)
  5  /

JOB         SUM(SAL)
--------- ----------
ANALYST         6000
CLERK           4150
MANAGER         8275
PRESIDENT       5000
SALESMAN        5600
               29025

6 rows selected.

SQL> select  nvl(job,'Total') job,
  2          sum(sal)
  3    from  emp
  4    group by rollup(job)
  5    order by grouping(emp.job)
  6  /

JOB         SUM(SAL)
--------- ----------
ANALYST         6000
CLERK           4150
MANAGER         8275
PRESIDENT       5000
SALESMAN        5600
Total          29025

6 rows selected.

SQL>
