I've got a log table in SQL Server that looks like this:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[RefundProcessLog](
 [LogId] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
 [LogDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 [LogType] [varchar](10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
 [RefundId] [int] NULL,
 [RefundTypeId] [smallint] NULL,
 [LogMessage] [varchar](1000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
 [LoggedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_RefundProcessLog] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
 [LogId] ASC
) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

What I want is a list of results that represents how many different refundids were processed each day, throwing out any NULLs.

What SQL would I need to write to produce these results?

aggregate group-by sql-server sql

SQL Server 2008 introduced the date datatype which makes the following possible: 

select convert(date, LogDate),
      ,count(refundid) AS 'refunds'
  from RefundProcessing
group by convert(date,LogDate)
order by convert(date,LogDate)
