SQL Error with Groupby

i'm having an error with my code, it says the column I use for my sub query has to be in the group by as well, so when i put the history_id in the group by, the resulting file wont have 1 instance of the name as indicated by my distinct, but multiple ones when i really just want one, please help, thanks

Code:

	sqlText2 =  "SELECT Distinct" & _ 				                                      " name AS Thename, " & _		                                                                                          " Count(age) AS Rolled_age, " & _                                                         " SUM(per_dol) AS Rolled_dol, " & _                                    " (SELECT SUM(grs_sub) from history_old where history_old.history_id=history_rep_old.history_id and   quick_sort = 1) as number_one, "&_ 				   " (SELECT SUM(grs_sub) from history_old where history_old.history_id=history_rep_old.history_id and   quick_sort = 0) as number_zero, "&_                                    " FROM history_rep_old " & _  				   " WHERE " & where_clause &_ 			           "GROUP BY name, history_id;"

This can happen when you use aggregate functions and you want to include a field that you don't want to group on. Have to do something with that field (such as Last or Max or Count). Query as posted difficult to read so I have repeated it here without edits other than the line continuations.

Code:

sqlText2 =  "SELECT Distinct " & _
"name AS Thename, " & _	
"Count(age) AS Rolled_age, " & _
"SUM(per_dol) AS Rolled_dol, " & _
"(SELECT SUM(grs_sub) from history_old " & _
"Where history_old.history_id=history_rep_old.history_id " & _
"And quick_sort = 1) as number_one, " & _ 
"(SELECT SUM(grs_sub) from history_old " & _
"Where history_old.history_id=history_rep_old.history_id " & _
"And quick_sort = 0) as number_zero, " & _
"FROM history_rep_old " & _  
"WHERE " & where_clause " & _
"GROUP BY name, history_id;"
