View 2 RepliesGreetings:
I am creating a complex expression in a Send Mail Task for the MessageSource. The expression contains the values of many package variables. I want to conditionally include some variables in the expression depending on what value they contain.
Is it possible to create conditional logic (if then else) within an expression? I've got to conditionally include 8 different variables.
Thanks,

Hai guys,
In my report I want to use OR condition instead of AND in Table Filter Expression. By default this option is disabled in VS2005 Pro. How do I enable this? or is there any other way to do this? Thanks in advance.
I have a SP with where condition
as where id=@id and month=@month and Eid=@Eid
What I need is if @Eid=0 i need to display all the records
if Eid>0 then display only that particular reocrd
I tried
where id=@id and month=@month and Eid=
case when @Eid=0 then Eid>0
else
Eid=@Eid
End
But its giving me error
Incorrect syntax near '>'.
Is it possible to have more than one conditions per line? Example below. It works fine if I do this, "When 'M" then 'Yes' But, I am trying to have it to check for more than one. The below example does not work. What can I do to do something like this.
SELECT
FirstName, LastName,
CASE WorkCode
WHEN 'M', 'E', 'F' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'C', 'D' THEN 'No'
END
FROM Employees

what I need to change in the WHERE clause to rectify this error ?
below is my original query

I know i can do a "IF" using expressions, the question is, can i do a CASE?
Thanks!
I've a variable in my SP that I'd like to use to change the format of my output. Try this!
select case when 1=2 then cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) else cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) end
Then this:
select case when 1=1 then cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) else cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) end
Why in either case, the output is returned as n.nn ? Whilst single select expressions (like these):
select cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) -- = 1.00
select cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) -- = 2
Work fine.
I there a way to differ the filtering field through a Case expression in the Where claus?
ex:
Where Case When @StuNum = '' Then S.SSN = @SSN Else S.StuNum = @StuNum End
And ...
The actual field to filter by differs, but I can't seem to find the right syntax to do this.
Any help is appreciated : )

Hi, all here,
I have a problem with CASE expression in my SQL staments.
the problem is:
when I tried to just partly update the column a , I used the CASE expression : set a=case when b=null then 'null' end
the result was strange: then all the values for column a turned to null.
so what is the problem tho?
Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance.

@varDate as varchar (255),

The month case is giving me an error. I think it has to do with two expressions in one line.
Anyone know how to combine that into 1 expression? or is there away to work around it?
As I would like to display the month as Name, but group and sort by number.
Thx!~
I have to use the Case expression in my query, so I search arround the web and got the following: SELECT title, price, Budget = CASE price WHEN price > 20.00 THEN 'Expensive' WHEN price BETWEEN 10.00 AND 19.99 THEN 'Moderate' WHEN price < 10.00 THEN 'Inexpensive' ELSE 'Unknown' END,FROM titles It should run OK base on my research in the internet. But my SQL Server gave me error: syntax error arround '>'.I did several search and many people can use the ">" sign or "<" sign in the Case expression, but I just can't use it in my SQL Server, I can't even use any boolean expression, I can only use values.can anyone help me out? My SQL Server Version is SQL Server 2000 Sevice Pack 4.Thanks!
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
Maybe this is just totally wrong but this is what I'm trying to do. I want to dynamically insert a value using a CASE expression while executing an external SP from my current SP.
EXEC uspAddMessage @UserId,
CASE @MyAction
WHEN 'DELETE' THEN 'DELETED TRANSACTION.'
WHEN 'APPROVE' THEN 'TRANSACTION APPROVED.'
WHEN 'REJECT' THEN 'TRANSACTION REJECTED.'
END,
@DateStamp
Keep in mind that this is in my stored proc that is doing the processing. I'm calling this common proc when I complete my transactions.

Hello everyone,

I am one very frustrated beginner. If it were not for wonderful information in this forum I would have taken early retirement by now!
Table contains information about new and departing computer and phone users in several departments which we support. This is an existing table which I'm trying to clean up.
The essential part:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HelpDesk_NewUser](
[AutoNumber] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[SubmittedDate] [datetime] NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[Department] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[StartDate] [datetime] NULL,
[DepartDate] [datetime] NULL
[RequestedBy] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[UpdatedBy] [varchar](16) NOT NULL,
[CurrentStatus] [varchar](10) NOT NULL ,
[DateCurrentStatus] [datetime] NULL,
[FormType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
There can be more than one record per FirstName, LastName. FormType can be N for new or D for departing.
I want to do this for each record:
Read the FormType and Department from the record with the most recent activity (SubmittedDate) for each user
Convert Department to a 4 character department number
Update CurrentStatus with (FormType concatenated with the 4 character dept number) in all records for that user.
I have created another table called UserMostRecent which contains the most recent record for each user.
I have written a query to do this by brute force (read a record, set local variables, update a record), but I would like learn a simpler way to do it. I don't understand the syntax of CASE because it seems to change depending on where it is used.
Here is what I have tried that does not work. Error is "Incorrect syntax near word CASE"
UPDATE HelpDesk_NewUser
SET DateCurrentStatus = b.DateMostRecent,
CurrentStatus = (b.FormType + a.Department
CASE
WHEN 'Roads Department' THEN '3000'
WHEN 'Engineering and Survey Services' THEN '1900'
WHEN 'Waste Management' THEN '8999'
WHEN 'Kern Air Pollution Control District' THEN '9149'
WHEN 'Environmental Health' THEN '4113'
WHEN 'Building Inspection' THEN '2625'
WHEN 'Animal Control' THEN '2760'
WHEN 'Planning Department' THEN '2750'
WHEN 'Community and Economic Development' THEN '5940'
WHEN 'Resource Management Agency' THEN '2730'
WHEN 'Code Compliance' THEN '2620'
WHEN 'Roads Kern Regional Transit' THEN '8998'
END)
FROM HelpDesk_NewUser a JOIN UserMostRecent b
ON (a.LastName = b.LastName and a.FirstName = b.FirstName)
Thank you, forum participants. You are the best!
Is it possible? I have a request to create a stored proc that willdynamically add a range to a WHERE clause based on a numeric value of acomment type. If the incoming comment type request is say 10, thewhere clause needs to be set to IN(10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)OR ifa 20 is passed in the clause would read IN(20,21.....)So I was thinking that a CASE expression within the proc would be thebest way to go, but have had no luck in finding an example or any otherrelated information regarding CASE exp in a proc.TIABill

I have a scenario where the End User is going to select two parameters. @AgentID and @Location If the End User selects @AgentID parameter, in my WHERE clause, I do not want to check the location condition. By default, the agent knows their location already.
If the End User select @Location parameter, in my WHERE clause, I still want to check the Agent condition.
@AgentID parameter would populate either with "All" or their actual agent# (76754 for example).
@Location parameter would populate either with "All" or their actual location (Birmingham or Bessemer for example)Sample of my current WHERE clause:

gl.ReceiptDate >= @BeginDate and gl.ReceiptDate < DATEADD(D,1,@EndDate)
AND gl.AgentId = CASE WHEN @AgentID = 'All' THEN gl.AgentID ELSE @AgentID END
AND gl.Location = @Location
How would I convert an expression like on of these to all upper case first letters with remaining letters lower case? VB has a function for that but sql doesn't seem to. I thought about having a loop go through each character to check for spaces. I've written a couple of similar pieces of code in VB when a while ago, but is there a better way? Thanks :)
Just a couple of typical examples of how the data should appear ~

I'm trying to generate the data for a 2-column table, where both columns are defined as NOT NULL and the second column is a uniqueidentifier.
In SQL Server Management Studio, this works fine:insert into table_3(column_a, column_b)
select table_1.column_a, (case when table_2.column_b is NULL then newid() else table_2.column_b end) as column_b
from table_1 left outer join table_2 on table_1.column_c = table_2.column_c
That is, column_b of the SELECT result has no NULL values, and all 35,986 rows are successfully inserted into a previously empty table_3. (If I comment out the INSERT INTO clause and project table_2.column_b instead of "(case ... end) as column_b", the SELECT result includes 380 rows with a NULL in column_b, so I know the case expression plus the outer join are working as expected.)
But when I use the SELECT query as the SQL command in an OLE DB Source component that is connected directly to the OLE DB Destination for the result table, I get this error:There was an error with input column "column_b" (445) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (420
The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
And sure enough, when I modify the result table to allow NULL in column_b, truncate it, and re-run the data flow, it inserts the exact same 380 rows with a NULL in column_b among the 35,986 rows.
So what is SSIS doing to screw up the results of the SELECT command???
I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ;
however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks

How do you make the "Like" comparison operator ignore case in an expression??
Expression looks like this:
Code SnippetParameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "%",Fields!company.Value like "*" & Parameters!Company.Value & "*"
BTW, the expression above is part of a switch expression, and is at the table level.
Data contains "General Industry" in Company column from database.
User enters "indust" in Company Parameter text box, and result is no data found.
User enters "Indust" in Company Parameter text box, and data is returned.
