Use a sub query similar to the below     UPDATE P SET extrasPrice   sub TotalPrice from BookingPitches p inner join   Select PitchID  Sum Price  TotalPrice     from  dbo BookingPitchExtras     Where  Required    1     Group by Pitchid   as Sub on p Id   e PitchId  where p BookingId   1

You need something like this    UPDATE P SET ExtrasPrice   E TotalPrice FROM dbo BookingPitches AS P INNER JOIN  SELECT BPE PitchID  Sum BPE Price  AS TotalPrice     FROM BookingPitchExtras AS BPE     WHERE BPE  Required    1     GROUP BY BPE PitchID  AS E ON P ID   E PitchID WHERE P BookingID   1

With postgres  I had to adjust the solution with this to work for me   UPDATE BookingPitches AS p SET extrasPrice   t sumPrice FROM                SELECT PitchID  SUM Price  sumPrice         FROM BookingPitchExtras         WHERE  required    1         GROUP BY PitchID        t WHERE t PitchID   p ID AND p bookingID   1

An alternate to the above solutions is using Aliases for Tables   UPDATE T1 SET T1 extrasPrice    SELECT SUM T2 Price  FROM BookingPitchExtras T2 WHERE T2 pitchID   T1 ID  FROM BookingPitches T1

I ran into the same issue and found that I could solve it with a Common Table Expression  available in SQL 2005 or later     with cte as       SELECT PitchID  SUM Price  somePrice     FROM BookingPitchExtras     WHERE  required    1      GROUP BY PitchID  UPDATE p SET p extrasPrice cte SomePrice FROM BookingPitches p INNER JOIN cte ON p ID cte PitchID WHERE p BookingID 1
