Conditional Expression - I.e., IIF In Access
Feb 9, 2004
I have a query with a conditional expression that I can do just fine in Access but I am having a bear of a time trying to create a similar SQL View. Baiscally I want to say, if column A is null, use value B else use value C.
In Access the SQL is this:
SELECT IIf([Categorycode] Is Null,[tblconstituents].[CASNumber],[categorycode]) AS Casnumber, Sum(qryweldingrod3a.CFume) AS CFume, Sum(qryweldingrod3a.cslag) AS cSlag
FROM qryweldingrod3a INNER JOIN tblconstituents ON qryweldingrod3a.CASNumber = tblconstituents.CASNumber
GROUP BY IIf([Categorycode] Is Null,[tblconstituents].[CASNumber],[categorycode]);
But I know you can't use the IIF statement in SQL so I was trying CASE and was still coming up empty handed. Here is what I produced in SQL but it didn't work:
SELECT SUM(dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CFume) AS CFume, SUM(dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CSlag) AS cSlag,
CASNumber = CASE Type
WHEN categoryCode IS NULL THEN dbo.tblConstituents.CASNumber ELSE CategoryCode
END,
FROM dbo.tblConstituents INNER JOIN
dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS ON dbo.tblConstituents.CASNumber = dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CASNumber
GROUP BY dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CASNumber
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

In the conditional split transformation,
I am trying to pass the expression like below.
ISNULL(DT_STR(10,1252) [Visit_Date] ) ? "01/01/1990" : [Visit_Date] ! = ISNULL( DT_STR(10,1252)[Visit_Date_Original] ) ? "01/01/1990" : [Visit_Date_original]
but it keeps giving me a syntax error.. what am i doing wrong here?

When using the conditional expression in a derived column transformation, I found that the following expression:
[F1Depth]==3 ? [F2Name] + "--" + [F1Name] : [F1Name]
is invalid while
[F1Depth]==3 ? [F2Name] + "--" + [F1Name] : "" + [F1Name]
is valid.
In both cases, the output type is set to Unicode String (DT_WSTR) with 4000 characters. The error in the first case is:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column (2784)]: Failed to set property "Expression"on "output column" "FactorName" (2918).
Would this be considered a bug, or is there a reasonable explanation?
Thanks,
Anna.

Hi,
I need to create a conditional expresssion where if a null value is found, then a letter "N" must be inserted.
I create this expression but didnt work: (COL1 == NULL) ? "N" : COL1
So, if COL1 is null, then N .. but if it is nt null tehn COL1 = COL1
I think i', having a problem expressing the null.
Any idea for this?
Thanks!

I have as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
If yes? How do I do that?
If no? What is the alternative?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I'm using a conditional split to discriminate modified records. My expression looks like this:
col1_source != col1_dest || col2_source != col2_des.....and so on. I use OLE DB Command afterward to update modified records.
It all works fine if no columns evaluate to null. If any (source or dest.) evaluates to null, component fails.
Any tips how to solve a problem?
It has to work like this:
If colX_source is null and colX_dest is not null --> Update
If colX_source is not null and colX_dest is null --> Update
If both colX_source and colX_dest are null --> No update
p.s. i apologize if a similar thread exists, I haven't found something of use to me.

I want to do conditional processing depending on values in the rows of a CTE. For example, is the following kind of thing possible with a CTE?:
WITH Orders_CTE (TerritoryId, ContactId)
AS
(
SELECT TerritoryId, ContactId
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE (ContactId < 200)
)
IF Orders_CTE.TerritoryId > 3
BEGIN
/* Do some processing here */
END
ELSE
BEGIN
/* Do something else here */
END
When I try this, I get a syntax error near the keyword 'IF'
Any ideas? I know this kind of thing can be done with a cursor but wanted to keep with the times and avoid using one!

I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd ask anyway.
I have a conditional split to check a column for null values or empty string values. It looks like this:
(!ISNULL(Ballot)) || (LEN(TRIM(Ballot)) > 0)
My question is: Are both sides of the expression evaluated? My testing says yes, because a Null value causes an error. Is there a way to short circuit the evaluation like the || operator in C# or the (less than elegant, and seemingly threatening) OrElse operator in VB? Whats the best alternative:
A slightly more complex expression that turns a null value into an empty string
A script component
Two conditional splits
Two paths out of one condtional split
I went with the first option, here is the expression I came up with:
LEN(ISNULL(Ballot) ? "" : TRIM(Ballot)) > 0

I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

I have a field 'IsActive' which is bit type either 1 or 0. And in my package, the conditional split must be set something like
IsActive==0
And throws exception that condition evaluated as NULL where Boolean was expected. How i can make this work?

Hi All,
I am trying to write a Transact-SQL statement and am having no success. I have a customers table that has some duplicate Customer Numbers in it, however the records do have a unique Reference Number. I am trying select all records that match a list of Customer Numbers but if there are more than 1 matching Customer Number I only want the one with the largest Reference Number.
My BASIC Select Statement is:
SELECT Cust_Ref_No, Customer_No, Customer_Name, Address1,
Address2, Suburb, State, Postcode, Phone
FROM Customers
WHERE Customer_No IN
(SELECT Customer_No FROM temp_Customers)
Much to my HORROR I found that what I am trying to do is simple in MS Access using the “First” Function – Such as below:
SELECT First(Cust_Ref_No) AS Cust_Ref_No, Customer_No
FROM Customers
GROUP BY Customer_No
ORDER BY First(Cust_Ref_No), Customer_No;
There appears to be no “First” Function in Transact-SQL. Is someone able to show me how to achieve the same results in Transact-SQL as I can get with MS Access (I’d HATE to think that MS Access has more functionality in querying data than SQL Server in any way at all)?
P.S. I really need to run the select statement as one step rather than splitting it up into parts.

Has anyone encountered this before?
My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False.
I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.
Thanks much!

Hi,
I created a Custom Task which it has a Property called ConfigFilePath. I'm overriding the Validate() method from Task. I want to throw an error if my property ConfigFilePath is empty and if the expression for this property is empty. So far, I can check if the property is empty but I don't see how I can access the Expressions Collection of my Custom Task.
Any thoughts? I'd appreciate your help.

Hello everyone,
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query
executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)

I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
=SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green")
I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results.
Is it because this is a matrix report? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance . . .

Im faced with the following design issue..
on my site there are different profiles: a city profile, a restaurant profile and a user profile.
in my DB:City profiles are stored in tbCities cityID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
Restaurant profiles are stored in tbRests restID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
User profiles are stored in tbUsers userID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
as you can see a single ID value (for CityID,restID or userid) might occur in multiple tables (e.g. ID 12 may exist in tbRests and in tbUsers)Each of these profile owners can start a forum on their profile.
forumID in each of the above tables is a FK to the PK in tbForums:forumID intforumname nvarchar(50) (...)
Now imagine the following:
a site visitor searches ALL forums...say he finds the following forums:ForumID Forumname1 you opinion on politics2 is there life in space?3 who should be the next president of the USA?
a user may want to click on the forum name to go to the profile the forum belongs to.And then there's a problem, because I dont know in which table I should look for the forum ID...OR I would have to scan all tables (tbCities,tbRests and tbUsers) for that specific forumid,which is time-consuming and I dont want that!
so if a user would click on forumID 2 (is there life in space?)
I want to do a conditional inner join for the tablecontainingforumID (which may be tbCities,tbRests or tbUsers)
select tablecontainingforumID.shortname FROM tablecontainingforumID tINNER JOIN tbForums f ON t.ForumID=f.ForumIDwhere f.ForumID=2
I hope my problem is clear..any suggestions are welcome (im even willing to change my DB design if that would increase effectivity)

I have a stored procedure that performs a search function with params:@username nvarchar(50)@country nvarchar(50)and like 10 more.A user may provide values for these params optionally.So when the @username var is left blank, there should be no filtering on the username field (every field should be selected regardless of the username)Currently my statement is:select username,country from myUsers whereusername=@username and country=@countryWith this statement when a user provides no value for username the username field selects on ''m which returns ofcourse nothing...What can I do to solve this?Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to do a conditional WHERE in T-SQL? I have a table with a column that consists of a reference that starts with either a single alpha character or two alpha characters followed by four numeric digits (the numeric portion is always unique but the alpha isn’t). E.g. A1234, AB1235, AB1236, C1237, HT1238. What I want to do is select a range of rows based on the numeric portion of this reference column. In other words I want to select say 50 rows starting from row 1000 (rows 1000 to 1050) regardless of whether there is one or two alpha characters preceding the numerics.The Stored procedure I have so far works (using COUNT for testing) for selecting a range of rows that has two alpha's at the start. However, if I simply add an OR to the WHERE to select rows where there is a single alpha in the reference column, when a single alpha reference is found it will fail the first logical check for two alpha's giving an error condition. Therefore, how can I incorporate a conditional WHERE using IF or some alternative method, so that it will also give me all the rows in the number sequence that start with either single or double alpha's within the same SELECT / WHERE statement?
Thanks for any help.ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Test]
(
@startRef int,
@endRef int
)

BEGIN
SELECT Count(*) FROM myTable
WHERE ((SUBSTRING(Ref,3,LEN(Ref)-2) BETWEEN @startRef AND (@startRef + @endRef)))

I have an SqlDataSource that uses a value from the query string in the WHERE clause of the sql statement.
The sql is something like this:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myfield = @myfield
and I have the QueryStringParameter setup like this:
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="myfield" QueryStringField="myfield" />
What I need is for the sql statement to return all records in the case that "myfield" is not defined in the query string.
How would I implement this?

Hello all, my update statement works as expected, but lacks some conditional logic. How can I change the statement to not decrement qtyonhand if the quantity is 0? Additionally, I would need to return to the calling application something that would allow me to populate a label with a message to the user.. How can that be accomplished?
Here is my sproc:CREATE PROCEDURE [webuser].[cssp_removeItem]
@lblID int
AS
Update cstb_inventoryset qtyonhand = qtyonhand -1where Id = @lblIDGO
Here is my app code:
Try
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = cn.CreateCommand
cmd = New SqlCommand("cssp_removeItem", cn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
With cmd
cmd.Parameters.Add("@lblId", SqlDbType.Int).Value = lblId.Text
End With
If Not cn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
cn.Open()
End If
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.ToString)

Hi,
[SQL 2005 Express]
I would like a DropDownList to be populated differently depending on the selected value in a FormView.
If the FormView's selected value (CompanyID) is 2, then the DropDownList should show all Advisers from the relevant Company. Otherwise, the DropDownList should show all Advisers from the relevant Company where the TypeID field is 3.
Here is the SQL for case 1:
SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE (CompanyID = @CompanyID).
Here's the SQL for case 2:
SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3).
Here's my best (failed) attempt to get what I want:
SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE IF @CompanyID = 2 THEN BEGIN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) END ELSE BEGIN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END
I've also tried:
SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE CASE @CompanyID WHEN 2 THEN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) ELSE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END
and
SELECT AdviserID, AdviserName FROM Advisers WHERE CASE WHEN (@CompanyID = 2) THEN (CompanyID = @CompanyID) ELSE (CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (TypeID = 3) END
I'd be very grateul to know (a) what the correct syntax for this is and (b) if it can be achieved using a parametised query, rather than a stored procedure.
Thanks very much.
Regards
Gary

Hello Folks,
Well I've hit the wall on this one:
I'm wondering if one can designate a conditional foreign key that relates to one of many different tables depending on the "type" column in the foreign key's. My goal is to come up with some SQL code that will allow for this in a Create table statement. (By the way I'm using MS SQL-7 but I'm wondering if this can be done in general.)
I have two simple cases below that show illustrate what I'm trying to do:
Thanks in advance, -JerryZZ
---------------------------------------------------------
Case 1: The foreign key relation is to a primary key
Table: Invoices
-Fields:
---InvoiceID ..... (primary key)
---BilleeID ...... (fkey to Manfacturers.ManfID IF BilleeType=M)
...................(fkey to Distibutors.DistID IF BilleeType=D)
---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
Table: Manufacturers
-Fields:
---ManfID ........ (primary key)
---CompanyName.. (not null)
Table: Distributors
-Fields:
---DistID ........ (primary key)
---CompanyName .. (not null)
---------------------------------------------------------
Case 2: The foreign key relation is to a unique "not null" non-primary key
Table: InvoicesEmail
-Fields:
---InvoiceID ..... (primary key)
---EmailAddress .. (fkey to Manfacturers.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=M)
...................(fkey to Distibutors.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=D)
---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
Table: Manufacturers
-Fields:
---ManfID ........ (primary key)
---EmailAddress .. (unique, not null)
Table: Distributors
-Fields:
---DistID ........ (primary key)
---EmailAddress .. (unique, not null)
---------------End-O-Message-------------------------------------
