Transact SQL :: How To Add A Letter In Front Of Value Using Case Statement

Jul 28, 2015

I am trying to add the letters 'MS' in front of value while using a case statement. If Dispo = 2 I want it to pull back 'Inactive', else I want it to pull back the Value with MS in front (eg. "MS14"). The data in the value column are numbers. Would I use a CONCAT? If so where does that need to go?

Case when dispo = 2 then 'Inactive' else cast(Value as varchar(11)) end ,

Transact SQL :: CASE Statement For A WHERE

Sep 25, 2015

I've been beating my head against this for a bit and haven't been able to figure this out I want to pull 1 set of values between a date time range if @Report = '1' but if @Report = 2 or 3 I want it to drop 3 of the parameters so it will pull all items. by dropping the where parameters for @BeginRangeDate and @LookOutDate and L.COLineStatus. My report works great if I go in and run Report 1 with the date parameters in the where statement and also works great for Reports 2, 3 if I REM out those 3 items in the Where statement. Here is what I currently have

CASE@Report
WHEN'1'THEN
WHEREL.RequestedShipDate>=@BeginRangeDate
ANDL.RequestedShipDate<=@LookoutDate
ANDDO.ForecastDate>=@ForecastDate

Transact-SQL Help - CASE Statement And Group By

Jul 20, 2005

I've always been mistified why you can't use a column alias in the group byclause (i.e. you have to re-iterate the entire expression in the group byclause after having already done it once in the select statement). I'mmostly a SQL hobbiest, so it's possible that I am not doing this in the mostefficient manner. Anyone care to comment on this with relation to thefollowing example (is there a way to acheive this without re-stating theentire CASE statement again in the Group By clause?):Select 'Age' =CaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))end,max(SubmittedOn), COUNT(SCRID) AS NbrSCRsFrom SCRViewWHERE(StatusSort < 90) ANDCustomerID = 8 andUserID = 133group byCaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))endOrder by max(submittedon) descThanks,Chad

Transact SQL :: Grouping With Case Statement

Aug 9, 2015

In the below query, I can get the individual/single group by columns as well as multiple but I cannot control the order in which I would like to group by the data.

So lets say I want to group the data by OS->browser->browser_version(just one example) then I cannot achieve that as the order of OS column comes later in the query.

I know one option would be to write a dynamic SQL but i dont want to do that because of performance reasons. Any other way this can be achieved?

select 
case when @include_browser =
1 then browser_name end as browser_name, 
case when @include_browser_version
= 1 then browser_version end
as browser_version,

Transact SQL :: Case Statement With Different Columns

Oct 20, 2015

Is it possible to combine a CASE statement with two different columns to retrieve data into one result column? In one column it has multiple JobCode, but this needs to be divided.  The only way I can see to do this is take the data from another column to get the results.Ex. JobCode - has one code for several job descriptions (there are about 30), but all within this code cannot have the same level of access.  So I need to divide them out, and put them in one column for AccessLevel. 

 JobTitle - has one code for one job, (but there are over 100).I want to pull from both columns to get the results I need to assign appropriate access level in one column.

Case JobCode     (they all have same job code, but everyone in this job code should not have same access)
When '45' Then '1' (Principal, Asst. Prin, or any Administrator, Counselors)
When '25' Then '2' (this could be teacher, etc. )      
Case JobTitle   (this is how access should be)
        When '12345' Then '1' (this is Administration only)

Transact SQL :: Case Statement In Update Clause

Jun 4, 2015

I have used the below update query. However, its updating only the first value. Like its updating AB with volume when c.Type  = ABC, similarly for CD. Its not updating based on the 2nd or the next case condition.
 
Update XYZ Set AB = a.Amt * (CASE WHEN c.Type = 'ABC'  THEN  (c.volume)
 WHEN c.TYPE = 'DEF'  THEN  (c.volume)
 WHEN c.Type = 'GHI'  THEN  (c.volume)
 Else 0
 END),
 CD = CASE WHEN c.Type = 'MARGIN' THEN '4105.31'
 WHEN c.Type = 'ABC' THEN '123.1'
 WHEN c.Type = 'DEF' THEN '234.2'
WHEN c.Type = 'GHI' THEN '567.1'
END
 from table1 a join table2 b
 on a.Cust = b.Customer
 join table3 c
 on b.account = c.account and b.channel =c.channel

Why its not working properly? But if i use Select statement instead of update query its working properly.

Transact SQL :: Case Statement In Where Clause - Select First / Default Value If Two Different Value Exists

Nov 16, 2015

I have scenario where i have to pick one particular value from where condition. Here is the example:A store can have different types i-e A or B , A and B or either A or B.

Store     Type    Sales
11           A        1000
23       A      1980
23       B       50
5         B      560

I want to filter the store in "where clause"  where

1)- if the store has type A and  B, then assign only A
2)- if the store has  type A associated with it then assign A
3)- if the store has type B associated with it, then assign B.

Select Store, sum(sales), Type
from table1
where (TYPE]=  (case when [TYPE] in ('A','B') then 'A'
when [TYPE]='A' then 'A' else 'B'end))
GROUP BY [store], [TYPE]

The above statement is not working for when store has only Type B associated with it.

Transact SQL :: Find Exact Word In String Within Case Statement

Aug 6, 2015

I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.

Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.

1. 'St is valid;'    -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;'    -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;'    -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;'    -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;'    -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;'    -> false

Means the exact ST should be search. It is  not free text search.

T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.

Transact SQL :: Case Statement For A New Column Based On Date And Username Columns

Sep 2, 2015

Below is the SQL Query i am currently having

SELECT IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.ClaimNum,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionCode,
IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionDate,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.ClaimNum,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionAmount,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.UserName--,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionDate

[Code] ....

And here is the result dataset

ClaimNumTransactionDateUsername ClaimNum TransactionAmountUserName
2000074 20150209jerry.witt 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL
2000074 20150626DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL

[Code] .....

So,if we look at the result set, we notice 2 conditions where the IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username is like 'Data' and if we see the transaction date then sometimes that is the max transaction date or sometimes there are transactions that happened after but that doesn't have like '%data%' in username . So, i need to add a new column to my sql query which should basically verify if the username is like '%data%' and if that is the max(transaction date) or even if there are any transactions after that doesn't have like '%data%' then YES else No.

Transact SQL :: Adding Case When Statement With Group By Query Doesn't Aggregate Records

Aug 28, 2015

I have a a Group By query which is working fine aggregating records by city.  Now I have a requirement to focus on one city and then group the other cities to 'Other'.  Here is the query which works:

Select [City]= CASE WHEN [City] = 'St. Louis' THEN 'St. Louis' ELSE 'Other Missouri City' END, SUM([Cars]) AS 'Total Cars' 
From [Output-MarketAnalysis]
Where [City] IN ('St. Louis','Kansas City','Columbia', 'Jefferson City','Joplin') AND [Status] = 'Active'
Group by [City]

Here is the result:

St. Louis 1000
Kansas City 800
Columbia 700
Jefferson City 650
Joplin 300

When I add this Case When statement to roll up the city information it changes the name of the city to 'Other Missouri City' however it does not aggregate all Cities with the value 'Other Missouri City':

Select [City]= CASE WHEN [City] = 'St. Louis' THEN 'St. Louis' ELSE 'Other Missouri City' END, SUM([Cars]) AS 'Total Cars' 
From [Output-MarketAnalysis]
Where [City] IN ('St. Louis','Kansas City','Columbia', 'Jefferson City','Joplin') AND [Status] = 'Active'
Group by [City]

Here is the result:

St. Louis 1000
Other Missouri City 800
Other Missouri City 700
Other Missouri City 650
Other Missouri City 300

What I would like to see is a result like:

St. Louis 1000
Other Missouri City 2450

Transact SQL :: Create Temp Table That Persists While A Front End App Is Open

Sep 30, 2015

I have an Access app. that I am migrating the DB portion (queries, tables) to SQL server. I need to create a temp table that lasts as long as the user has the Access FE app. open. Idea is that the temp table stores the user's parameters (used for filtering data entry forms and report). The parameters allow the app. to only show the user his data (cannot view other users data). The SP shown below works OK, it creates a ##Temp table and updates it with the parameters sent by Access FE app. The issue I am having is that as soon as the SP finishes the ##Temp table is removed. I thought of using a regular table, but, I am currently testing this migration in my local SQL server instance, as soon as I move the database to production environment, then users will not be able to create tables as permissions are only read/write.

USE [Work_Allocation]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[spUser_Parameters_update] Script Date: 9/30/2015 12:27:42 PM ******/

T-SQL Select Statement Slows Down When Insert Into Is Put In Front

Mar 31, 2008

Hi

We have a t-sql statement in a SP that generates on average between 50 €“ 60 rows of data, pretty small! The statement references a View, some tables and temporary # table which has been created in the SP.

Everything works a treat and runs sub second until you put a Insert Into in front of the above statement scenario. The SP then takes a about a minute to run which happens to be about the same amount of time to generate all the data in the View.

I have not attached T-Sql statement at this stage as it runs ok without the Insert Into but would be happy to post it if need be.

Anybody else ever had this problem?

We are using SQL Server 2005 SP2 64 bit.

Problem Using Result From CASE In Another CASE Statement

Nov 5, 2007

I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.

Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:




Code Block...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...






This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.

This is what I'd like to do:



Code Block
...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,


shipment_status_text =

CASE shipment_status

WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'

WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'

WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'

WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'

ELSE 'Error'

END,
...remainder of SQL view...


This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.

Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?

Thanks,

Jason

Case Statement Error In An Insert Statement

May 26, 2006

Hi All,
I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance.
My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.

Here is my code:
Insert into myTblA
(TblA_ID,
mycasefield =
case
when mycasefield = 1 then 99861
when mycasefield = 2 then 99862
when mycasefield = 3 then 99863
when mycasefield = 4 then 99864
when mycasefield = 5 then 99865
when mycasefield = 6 then 99866
when mycasefield = 7 then 99867
when mycasefield = 8 then 99868
when mycasefield = 9 then 99855
when mycasefield = 10 then 99839
end,
alt_min,
alt_max,
longitude,
latitude
(
Select MTB.LocationID
MTB.model_ID
MTB.elevation, --alt min
null, --alt max
MTB.longitude, --longitude
MTB.latitude --latitude
from MyTblB MTB
);

The error I'm getting is:
Incorrect syntax near '='.

I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.

NOT ALLOWED:

The problem seems to be the > symbol. Apparantly the case statement is only for equality checks, and nothing else.

Transact SQL :: How To Use More Than 10 Case Statements

What should I alter, or how should I write this query so I can use all of the needed case statements? (their are actually about 24 when statements, but this is just to get a working example to display)

Transact SQL :: CASE Order Of Evaluation

Sep 24, 2015

I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.

SELECT CASE
WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2)
WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1)
ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END

This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?

Transact SQL :: CASE WHEN - Adding Collate Into It

Aug 20, 2015

Tried a few ways and I can ge this to work at the end in then WHEN part. Just struggling to put this together to be accepted as a CASE WHEN statement, probably missing the obvious.

Case when Postcode like '%[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz%]' then 'Lowercase Postcode' else 'Postcode OK' end as [DQPostcode]

collate Latin1_General_CS_AS

Simple terms looking for all instances of Lowercase characters in the Postcode field
