group by month and year, count from another table

Question

im trying to get my query to group rows by month and year from the assignments table, and count the number of rows that has a certain value from the leads

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

SELECT
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year, 
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
l.website,
COUNT(*)
FROM
assignments AS a
INNER JOIN leads AS l on (l.id = a.id_lead) /*are you sure, that you need a LEFT JOIN?*/
WHERE id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_year, d_month, website
/*an ORDER BY is not necessary, MySQL does that automatically when grouping*/

If you really need a LEFT JOIN, be aware that COUNT() ignores NULL values. If you want to count those as well (which I can't imagine to make sense) write it like this:

SELECT
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year, 
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
l.website,
COUNT(COALESCE(l.id, 1))
FROM
assignments AS a
LEFT JOIN leads AS l on (l.id = a.id_lead)
WHERE id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_year, d_month, website
