Solution 1

You can't use RP_Year in the WHERE clause - that's an alias not a column name. Try

SQL

SELECT  
      [dte]
      ,Year([dte]) as RP_Year
      ,[LOB]
      ,Sum([Cost]) as Sum_cost
     
  FROM xxx
  Where Year([dte]) = '2017'
  Group by [LOB]

It would probably be better to use a SARGable query:

WHERE [dte] >= CAST('20170101' As date) And [dte] < CAST('20180101' As date)

SELECT
Year([dte]) as RP_Year
,[LOB]
,sum([cost]) as sum_cost
FROM xxx
WHERE [dte] >= CAST('20170101' As date) And [dte] < CAST('20180101' As date)
Group by Year([dte]), [LOB]

now it says

Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.

i used
sum(cast([cost] as BIGINT)) as sum_cost
ant it works
