Select date that a sum()'s threshold is met

[freeskier]

I need to be able to tell the date of when a sum is met or exceeded. For example:

session(sessionid, personid, date, minutes)
sessionid is PK, personid is FK, there will be multiple records for each personid

I would like to know the date for when sum(minutes) >= 400 for each personid

I've been trying something like this without success

SELECT min(a.dated), a.personid, thesum FROM (

SELECT sum(t1.minutes) as thesum, t2.dated, t2.personid
FROM session t1
INNER JOIN session t2 ON t1.personid = t2.personid
AND t1.dated <= t2.
GROUP BY t2.dated, t2.personid
HAVING thesum >= 400
) a 

group by a.dated, a.personid

having sum(t1.minutes) >= 400

it's kind of stupid that you aren't able to alias it.

Thank you for your fast reply. Your tip helped me. I had to make one other change:

GROUP BY t2.sessionid, t2.personid

GROUP BY a.personid

because each person may have multiple entries for the same day.

Thank you so much for your advice, this site has been very useful to me for several years
