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 ,
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
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
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,
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.Â
 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)Â
I am trying to run the below but I get an error of 'Incorrect syntax ')'' Â --- I have tried every angle I can think of around the parens to fix this but nothing I do is working.
UPDATE abcdefg SET [Date] = GETDate(), [readytogo] = ( CASE WHEN [customername] NOT IN (Select [customername] from [server].[database].[dbo].[view]) THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'Needs Verification'
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.
I have 20 rows in dbo.test so i will get 20 as my output, now i need to write a case statement here such that when count(*) = 0 then it should display text filed 'NO Data' else it should display the count.
I need to perform an update where there are multiple scenarios which determine the value that is entered. Below is a sort've psuedo code of how it needs to be.
Update MyTable SET MyColumn = CASE WHEN MyCol1 = 'Value1' Then NewValue Else WHEN MyCol1 <> 'Value1' And MyCol2 = 'Active' Then 'Value1'
In the scenario where MyCol1 <> Value1 and MyCol2 <> 'Active' then no update would occur and the original value would remain intact.
table A: | ID | FRUIT | VEGETABLE | GOOD | -------------------------------------------- |  1 | orange | cabbage    |  no  | |  1 | apple | lettuce       | yes  | |  1 | kiwi    | broccoli     |  no  | |  1 | pear   | kale          | yes  |
table B: | ID | FRUIT | VEGETABLE | ------------------------------- | 1 | apple | lettuce      | | 2 | pear   |  kale        |
If the fruit and vegetable in table A is found in table B, then set the GOOD column = yes, else no.
This is what I have so far.
update tableA set GOOD = (case when tableA.id = C.id then 'yes' else 'no' end ) from (select tableA.id as id from tableA A left join tableB B on B.fruit = A.fruit and B.vegetable = A.vegetable) C
Table Structure EID   COLA   COLB 1   name   A 1   age   23 1   city   hyd 1   email   abc@live.in 1   mobile   45126 2   name   B 2   age   43
[code]....
how to display the result where any of the mandatory fields (name,age,city,email,mobile)are missing then it should display as that field as Null
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" Â 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]= Â (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.
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.
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.
I have a a Group By query which is working fine aggregating records by city. Â Now I have a requirement to focus on one city and then group the other cities to 'Other'. Â 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'Â 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'Â 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
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 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spUser_Parameters_update]
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.
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?
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END
Hello friends, I want to use select statement in a CASE inside procedure. can I do it? of yes then how can i do it ?

can any one help me in this? please give me a sample query.
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.

I need to breakdown some information with just initials (sometimes 2, sometimes 3 if the initials are already used) SQL Server throws the error of:
Msg 125, Level 15, State 4, Line 1
Case expressions may only be nested to level 10.
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)
Select case when employee_name Like 'Jorge Jones' Then 'JJ' when employee_name Like 'Mike Mikes' Then 'MM' when employee_name Like 'Albert Alvarez' Then 'AA' when employee_name Like 'Hernandez-Sotata' Then 'HS'
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?
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.
