create a second table and use this to insert into it
select left(Date,2)+':00' as Date, sum(VCount) as VCount
from Table1
group by left(Date,2)
here is some sample code that explains how you can use a CASE statement, you should be able to figure out how to make the changes in your code
--sample data
create table #temp (SomeDate datetime)
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:13:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:12:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:33:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:43:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:03:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:53:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:53:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 11:23:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 12:13:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 12:12:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 13:33:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 13:43:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 14:03:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 14:53:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 15:53:19.667')
insert #temp values ( '2009-05-12 15:23:19.667')
--this is the grouping/count query
select count(*),case when datepart(mi,Somedate) < 30
then dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)
else dateadd(mi,30,dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)) end
from #temp
group by case when datepart(mi,Somedate) < 30
then dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)
else dateadd(mi,30,dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)) end
to see what the data actually looks like
select Somedate,case when datepart(mi,Somedate) < 30
then dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)
else dateadd(mi,30,dateadd(hh, datediff(hh, 0, Somedate)+0, 0)) end
from #temp
output
