How to COUNT column values differently in a VIEW?

Question

I have a column in Datablase Table, Suppose its Observation which contains three types of values

1. Positive
2. Negative
3. NULL

Now I want to count the Total no of rows , Total Positive and Total Negative and some other columns. I can not use Where clause here. And its a view

So result should be like

Total   Positive   Negative   SomeOtherCoulumn
 255       80        120            Test1
 315      135         65            Test2  

I tried to use SQL COUNT here but could not get the desired results.

Answer 1

There's an interesting technique of summing a case expression like so:

sum(case when Observation = 'Positive' then 1 else 0 end) 'TotalPositive' 

The rest is easy.

Answer 2

SELECT
    COUNT(*) AS Total,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Observation = 'Positive' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Positive,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Observation = 'Negative' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Negative,
    SomeOtherColumn
FROM your_view
GROUP BY SomeOtherColumn
