I'm constructing a single string of several counts with concatenated labels using SQL and want to not show zeros (or their labels). Is there a function within an SQL statement that will let me do this? ISNULL() sort of does this, but I really need to test for zero instead of NULL to eliminate noise data from the string.
View 2 RepliesHey, I'm taking an intro SQL Server class, and I have a pretty simple homework assignment. We were provided with a DB and asked to write several SELECT statements. However, I'm stuck up one of the questions. Here is the question: 12.Create a SELECT statement that displays all employees and their Qualifications. Display that individuals with no Qualifications as having ‘NoQual’. Hint: Use a function to determine this ‘empty’ field using ISNULL.
Here is what I have:
SELECT
FNAME + ' ' + LNAME AS 'Employee Name', ISNULL(QUALID, 'NoQual') AS 'Qualifications'
FROM
EMPLOYEE, QUALIFICATION
WHERE
EMPLOYEE.QUALID = QUALIFICATION.QUALID;
However, I do not get any results that have a NULL value in the QUALID column. Here is the code for the DB:

okay, using isnull function we could replace null value..
but i want to do opposite, i want to replace if it's NOT null..
i tried notisnull also cannot..
Note : this is for select statement
SELECT isnull(d.ClientID,'-') FROM blabla
How to replace something if it's not null
SELECT isNOTnull(d.ClientID, '-')
SELECT JS_ID = ISNULL(ID.JS_ID,'-')
FROM
dbo.FM_INVOICE I,
dbo.FM_INVOICE_DETAILS ID
WHERE
I.INVOICE_ID = ID.INVOICE_ID
AND WO_ID = '-'--ISNULL(@GetLatest, '-')
is there any mistake i made? because it still return NULL when no data is found. how do i make it return '-' if a null is found

Hi,
I created a new column in Derived column editor wich depends on two columns that I'm evaluation.
This is my function for the new column:
(COLUMN1 == "Hello") || ISNULL(COLUMN1) ? COLUMN2 : COLUMN3
The problem is that when a NULL data comes for COLUMN1, it doesn't insert the value of COLUMN2 as the formula estipulates. It looks like is not understanding de ISNULL function.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I have a problem that some of the data I reciave from the DB is null.
I would like to replace it with '0'.
I used the function IsNull on the SQL statment.
The problem is that I recaived a false/true values..
Is there an option to get the real data?
this is the SQL:
SELECT OrderDetails.itemID, OrderDetails.itemName, OrderDetails.quantityToPick, OrderDetails.quantityPicked, OrderDetails.colorDescription,
OrderDetails.colorDetails, OrderDetails.bases, OrderDetails.diameter, OrderDetails.axis, OrderDetails.referenceNum, OrderDetails.remarks,
Isnull(Stock.stockQuantity, 0) AS stockQuantity, OrderDetails.quantityOrdered, OrderDetails.status
FROM OrderDetails LEFT OUTER JOIN
Stock ON OrderDetails.itemID = Stock.itemID
WHERE (OrderDetails.storeID = @storeIDTemp)
Any ideas?
I have an MDX query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Parm1] AS

SELECT ({[Measures].[Parm1],[Measures].[ResultValue]}) ON COLUMNS,
ORDER([Member].[Member Deceased Year].[Member Deceased Year], [Measures].[Parm1], DESC) ON ROWS
FROM [TXERSDW]
Now from the Above query I am resulting with NULL as Parm1 values, I need to replace with a value of 12-31-9999 in the Parm1 if there are NULLS.
I have three fields in a table say [F1, F2 & F3]. I need to fetch anyone of these three fields which has the maximum value between them.
In Simple words i'm looking for some function which is similar to COALESCE function which returns the first NOT NULL value of the fields that were passed as arguments.
FYI I'm using SQL Server 7.0 which does not supports UDF's
Earlier response appreciated
Thanks and Regards

I'm attempting to use the isnull function to convert null values in a column to a blank. It works on the alpha field but not the numeric and I was wondering what can be done for numeric field conversion.

Is there any Function in T-SQL thats similar to GREATEST() IN Orcl?
Iam trying to find the greatest of two DATETIME datatype Fields in my 'select's.
If there is no in built function, Whats the best approach?
Are there any conditional aggregate functions, such as SUM()?An example would probably be the best way to describe what I'mtrying to do...I have the following table, named Orders, with the following records:ItemNo qty_ord paid------ ----------- ------T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 199.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00T101B 1 0.00Z200L 1 50.00Z200L 2 100.00I want to produce the following result set:ItemNo qty_gross qty_net------ ---------- -------T101B 11 7Z200L 3 3The "qty_gross" column in the result set is the sum oftotal items ordered within the ItemNo grouping.Easy enough. However, I also want a column "qty_net" thatis the sum of qty_ord but ONLY IF the amount in the"paid" column is > 0.I tried using the HAVING clause, but that produces acatch 22 situation. If I say "HAVING paid > 0" thenthe qty_gross column is wrong because it leaves out rowsthat contain records with paid = 0 values. If I leaveout the HAVING clause, then the "qty_net" is wrong.Any ideas?select ItemNo, Sum(qty_ord) as qty_gross, Sum(qty_ord) as qty_netfrom Ordersgroup by qty_ord, paid, ItemNohaving paid > 0 ?????Thanks,Robbie

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've seen lots of entries recommending the use of ISNULL in SQL WHERE clauses, e.g. in a search sproc where users can enter some or all parameters to search a table. Previously I would have used something like:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = @fname OR @fname IS NULL) AND(MName = @mname OR @mname IS NULL) AND(LName = @lname OR @lname IS NULL)So using the neat ISNULL syntax it could be updated to:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = ISNULL(@fname, FName)) AND(MName = ISNULL(@mname, MName)) AND(LName = ISNULL(@lname, LName))Having played around with this I stumbled upon a problem. If one of the fields, e.g. MName, is NULL then that clause will return false since MName = NULL isn't true and you have to use MName IS NULL. Did I miss all the caveats with using ISNULL in this way on fields that can contain NULL or have I missed something else?

SELECT CID, CompletionDate, MarkedExport, CustomerName, EditUser, RouteID, WorkOrder FROM RouteCustomer WHERE (CompletionDate IS NOT NULL) AND (ExportDate IS NULL) AND (RouteID LIKE '%' + ISNULL(RouteID,@RouteID) + '%') AND (EditUser IS NULL OR EditUser = '' OR EditUser = @EmployeeID) AND (MONTH(CompletionDate) = ISNULL(MONTH(CompletionDate),@Month))
The problem comes with in the WHERE clause. What I wanted it to do is if the user did want to use a RouteID critera then the user would speified one else it wouldn't, and it was my belief that the ISNULL feature in SQL was the answer for that. same for the Month. I believe the EditUser is fine the way it is written.

To give you a little background, there is a CRM system with SQL server as its back-end. The CRM uses a view in SQL Server to list all the communications a user has had with his client over any given interval of time. Now there is a requirement to add a new column in the view that tells a user if the communication was filed in automatically or if it happened overnight via an automated archive manager process. I have achieved this using an expression field which is based on the comm_url field in the communications table in database.
example:
create view vCommunications
as
select col1, col2,...,case when comm_url is null then 'Manually filed' else 'Automatically Filed' as Filing
from Communications
alternatively, this can also be achieved by the following:
create view vCommunications
as
select col1, col2,...,isnull(comm_url, 'Manually Filed') as Filing
from Communications
Now my question is, given that there are many rows in the communications table, which of the above two expression fields will be more efficient in performance i.e. CASE versus ISNULL. I've checked a lot on google but I haven't been able to come up with a concrete answer.
Hi All,
Quick question...
why doesn't this work....
select IsNULL(select null),'TallOne')
But this does...
select IsNull((Select null),0)
How does it know what datatype I'm trying to get?
I'm having a problem creating a isnull statement.
I want to do two things I want to list all of the accounts that have a null value in a numeric field. And I want to update those accounts to 0.00.
I tried:
select Account_Num, isnull(TotalDDMFEE, 0)
FROM Addr_20080402
But it returned all records
For the update I tried:
update Addr_20080402
CASE
when TotalDDMFEE = ' ' then TotalDDMFEE = 0.00
AND
update Addr_20080402
CASE
when TotalDDMFEE = isnull(TotalDDMFEE, 0) then TotalDDMFEE = 0.00
Any ideas how I should have written these two queries?
Thanx,

Hi!I'm wondering whether it's possible to set up the MS SQL functionISNULL() as a default value to avoid NULL entries when importing datainto a table?!For example, I want the column1, to have a 0 (zero) as default value,when entering/importing data: isnull("column1",0)I remember that it is possible to set up with a date function likenow(), having for each record the current time as default value.
