When using SOQL to run an aggregate function, I encountered the message 'Only Aggregate Expressions Use Field Aliasing.' How should I structure my query to avoid this error?

The error "Only Aggregate Expressions Use Field Aliasing" happens in SOQL when you try to use an alias (AS) incorrectly. Aliases are only allowed with aggregate functions like COUNT, SUM, or GROUP BY.

Example of Incorrect SOQL:

SELECT Name AS AliasName FROM Account

This throws the error because AS is not valid here.

Correct SOQL:

If you want to use aliases, apply them to aggregate expressions:

SELECT COUNT(Id) AS TotalAccounts FROM Account

For non-aggregated fields, just list the field names:

SELECT Name FROM Account

I hope this explanation resolves your issue! Check here for more details.
