I have a table in mySQL with the following columns:

CUSTOMER_CODE | TRANS_TYPE | TRANS_VALUE

TRANS_TYPE could be either \"DRINV\" (a sale) or \

Answer 1

select customer_code,
       sum(case
             when trans_type = 'DRINV' then
              trans_value
             else
              -trans_value
           end) as net_sales
  from dr_trans
 group by customer_code

Yes, it is possible. Use CASE caluse:

SELECT CUSTOMER_CODE,
SUM(CASE WHEN TRANS_TYPE = 'DRINV' THEN TRANS_VALUE ELSE (- TRANS_VALUE) END ) as SALES
FROM DR_TRANS GROUP BY CUSTOMER_CODE
