You have to use COUNT for number of records, not SUM. You can use SUM to
summarize a value if needed. Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE #Test(mydate datetime, myvalue int)

INSERT INTO #Test VALUES(DATEADD(hour, 2, getdate()), 2)
INSERT INTO #Test VALUES(DATEADD(hour, 3, getdate()), 3)
INSERT INTO #Test VALUES(DATEADD(hour, 4, getdate()), 4)

SELECT COUNT(*) AS counts, SUM(myvalue) AS total
FROM #Test
WHERE mydate >= DATEDIFF(day, 0, getdate())
AND mydate < DATEDIFF(day, 0, getdate() + 1)

DROP TABLE #Test
