query

Hello,
I wondered if anyone can help me? i'm trying to query a table, although
want to preform two searches on the same table/column then display the
results.. these are my two select statements. how can I join them
together so they display side by side.
SELECT COUNT(staff.sex) as "Number of Female members"
FROM staff
WHERE staff.sex = 'Female' and staff.deptName = 'CIS department'
SELECT COUNT(staff.sex) as "Number of Male members"
FROM staff
WHERE staff.sex = 'Mmale' and staff.deptName = 'CIS department'
Thanks for you help
The following example should return the desired results:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Staff
(
sex VARCHAR(10),
deptName VARCHAR(20)
)
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Female', 'CIS department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Female', 'CIS department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Female', 'CIS department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Male', 'CIS department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Male', 'CIS department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Female', 'Other department'
INSERT dbo.Staff SELECT 'Male', 'Other department'
SELECT COUNT(SEX) AS [Number of Male members],
(SELECT COUNT(SEX)
FROM dbo.staff
WHERE sex = 'Female'
AND deptName = 'CIS department') AS [Number of Female members]
FROM dbo.staff
WHERE sex = 'Male'
AND deptName = 'CIS department'

|||If you would rather return your data in rows, you could try:
SELECT COUNT(sex) [Number of members],
CASE sex
WHEN 'Mmale' THEN 'Male'
WHEN 'Female' THEN 'Female'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END [Sex]
FROM staff
WHERE deptName = 'CIS department'
GROUP BY [sex]

SELECT SUM(CASE staff.sex
WHEN 'Female' THEN 1
WHEN 'Male' THEN 0
END) AS "Number of Female members",
SUM(CASE staff.sex
WHEN 'Female' THEN 0
WHEN 'Male' THEN 1
END) AS "Number of Male members"
FROM staff
WHERE staff.deptName = 'CIS department'
