sql joins The multi-part identifier could not be found - tsql

Question

here`s my query
SELECT cont.FILTER_VALUE as filter,
o.[OBJECT_ID] as Id, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as Name, o.DESCRIPTION as Description, o.CREATED as Created,
o.MODIFIED as Modified, u.[LOGIN] as LastModifiedByLogin, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as ObjectName, t.[TEMPLATE_NAME] as TemplateName--,p.[PAGE_NAME] as PageName
FROM
[OBJECT] AS o
LEFT OUTER JOIN [CONTAINER] as cont
on cont.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [OBJECT_VALUES] AS ov ON
ov.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [PAGE] AS p ON o.[PAGE_ID] = p.[PAGE_ID]
INNER JOIN [USERS] as u on u.[USER_ID] = o.LAST_MODIFIED_BY INNER JOIN [PAGE_TEMPLATE] as t
on o.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID] = t.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID] INNER JOIN [site] as s on t.SITE_ID = s.SITE_ID
WHERE
s.SITE_ID = '34' --AND сont.[FILTER_VALUE] is null--like '%fff%'
And it works nice, until I remove the comment.
Here's a mess of joins, still it has sense. I inner join main table with couple of others, and left join with optional, so, that I have a column, that contains cont.FILTER_VALUE as filter, its null in some records, I can get it, but I cant filter by this field.
I get The multi-part identifier "сont.FILTER_VALUE" could not be bound.
I've looked through similar topics, but found no useful information. I don't use any old SQL dialects: everywhere I use INNER/LEFT joins, tried group by and order by, tried to re-order joins - nothing helped. I guess I just don't understand something important about joins, could you tell me, please.
Thanx.

Answer 1

if you wrote it like this:
s.SITE_ID = '34' AND сont.[FILTER_VALUE] is null like '%fff%'
its just wrong syntax. you're missing a column for the LIKE function (in which column does the query suppose to look for the pattern?). if you didnt write it like that, please post what you did write

Answer 2

I don't know why you're getting your error, but try this just in case, while we wait for a better answer:
SELECT FILTER_VALUE as filter
, o.[OBJECT_ID] as Id
, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as Name
, o.DESCRIPTION as Description
, o.CREATED as Created
, o.MODIFIED as Modified
, u.[LOGIN] as LastModifiedByLogin
, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as ObjectName
, t.[TEMPLATE_NAME] as TemplateName
FROM [OBJECT] AS o
INNER JOIN [USERS] as u
ON u.[USER_ID] = o.LAST_MODIFIED_BY
INNER JOIN [PAGE_TEMPLATE] as t
ON o.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID] = t.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID]
INNER JOIN [site] as s
ON t.SITE_ID = s.SITE_ID
LEFT JOIN [CONTAINER] as cont
ON cont.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [OBJECT_VALUES] AS ov
ON ov.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [PAGE] AS p
ON o.[PAGE_ID] = p.[PAGE_ID]
WHERE s.SITE_ID = '34' AND FILTER_VALUE IS NULL

Well, I solved this problem, using CTE, still I wonder, why did I have problems without cte.
This way it works good
with query_CTE
AS
(
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY o.[OBJECT_ID] asc) as rowNum,
o.[OBJECT_ID] as Id, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as Name, o.DESCRIPTION as Description, o.CREATED as Created,
o.MODIFIED as Modified, u.[LOGIN] as LastModifiedByLogin, o.[OBJECT_NAME] as ObjectName, t.[TEMPLATE_NAME] as TemplateName,p.[PAGE_NAME] as PageName,
s.SITE_ID, t.PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID, p.PAGE_ID, ov.VARIABLE_NAME, ov.VARIABLE_VALUE, cont.FILTER_VALUE, cont.DYNAMIC_CONTENT_VARIABLE, cont.SELECT_START,
cont.SELECT_TOTAL
FROM [OBJECT] AS o
INNER JOIN [USERS] as u
ON u.[USER_ID] = o.LAST_MODIFIED_BY
INNER JOIN [PAGE_TEMPLATE] as t
ON o.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID] = t.[PAGE_TEMPLATE_ID]
INNER JOIN [site] as s
ON t.SITE_ID = s.SITE_ID
LEFT JOIN [CONTAINER] as cont
ON cont.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [OBJECT_VALUES] AS ov
ON ov.[OBJECT_ID] = o.[OBJECT_ID]
LEFT JOIN [PAGE] AS p
ON o.[PAGE_ID] = p.[PAGE_ID]
)
select rowNum,
Id, Name,[Description], Created, Modified, LastModifiedByLogin, ObjectName, TemplateName,PageName
from query_CTE
