Trying to populate an alias column where X = 1, multiple joins, sub-query
<p>I have the query below which returns all of the columns I am expecting. However, the date_met column is seeming to return a.) the same date for all results and b.) the wrong date for any results. It looks like it's really just picking the most current date in the date_start column, considering it's putting 2016-11-06, which is a valid date_start, but it's outside of the main queries BETWEEN...</p>

<p>I am utterly terrible at sub-queries, so I'm unsure where exactly I'm going wrong:</p>

<pre><code>SELECT 
    the_thresholds.client_id,
    the_thresholds.zipcode,
    ziplatlongs.county,
    ziplatlongs.city,
    ziplatlongs.stateabbr,
    the_thresholds.email,
    the_thresholds.threshold_snow AS snow_threshold,
    SUM(certifications.total_snow) AS rollingTotal,
    SUM(certifications.total_snow) &gt;= the_thresholds.threshold_snow AS targetMet,
    IF(SUM(certifications.total_snow) &gt;= the_thresholds.threshold_snow,
        MIN(certifications.date_start),
    0) AS dateMet
FROM
    `customer_settings`.`snowfall_thresholds` AS the_thresholds
        INNER JOIN
    `snowfall_certification`.`the_certifications` AS certifications ON `the_thresholds`.`zipcode` = `certifications`.`zipcode`
        INNER JOIN
    `zipcodes`.`ziplatlongs` AS ziplatlongs ON `the_thresholds`.`zipcode` = `ziplatlongs`.`zipcode`
WHERE
    DATE(`certifications`.`date_start`) BETWEEN '2015-10-01' AND '2016-05-31'
GROUP BY `the_thresholds`.`zipcode`
</code></pre>

<p>As I said, it's returning all of the columns I expect, I just can't get it to put the correct dateMet where the threshold was reached.</p>
