Answer 1

SELECT                          
    DATEPART(YEAR, dateTimeStamp) AS [Year]                         
    , DATEPART(MONTH, dateTimeStamp) AS [Month]                         
    , COUNT(*) AS NumStreams                        
    , [platform] AS [Platform]                      
    , deliverableName AS [Deliverable Name]                     
    , SUM(billableDuration) AS NumSecondsDelivered

Assuming that your quoted text is the exact text, one of these columns can't do the mathematical calculations that you want. Double click on the error and it will highlight the line that's causing the problems (if it's different than what's posted, it may not be up there); I tested your code with the variables and there was no problem, meaning that one of these columns (which we don't know more specific information about) is creating this error.

One of your expressions needs to be casted/converted to an int in order for this to go through, which is the meaning of Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
