Thank you very much for your response. However, I'm unclear what you want me to substitute for sum(...)?
 
select '1' as "num_ads", sum(...)
from
(select a.userid from
user_event_stg2 a, user_region b
where a.userid = b.userid
and b.region_code = 1000
and a.messagetype = 'impression'
group by a.userid having count(a.userid) = 1)
group by num_ads;

I was able to eliminate that sub-select per your recommendation.  That makes things a bit easier.
 
Thanks.

My prior comment simply answers your question.   You likely can rewrite your
query so that a separate grouping layer is not needed (or rather the group
by would exist in the main query and you minimize the case/sub-select column
queries and use aggregates and case instead).
