Determining Space used by Filegroups

n is the fileid which you can get from
select fileid,name from sysfiles

Here is a query that simulates sp_spaceused, modified to group by groupid (you can look up the filegroup names in sysfilegroups):

SELECT
groupid,
SUM(CASE WHEN indid <> 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY groupid
ORDER BY groupid;
