  Table with Values

  CREATE TABLE InitialData

  (

  recno int PRIMARY KEY,

  Dept Varchar(30),

  entry_name Varchar(50),

  entry varchar(500),

  orgID int

  )

  INSERT INTO InitialData Values

  (1, 'Marketing', 'Timesservedstartdate', '8/6/2012 12:00:00 AM', 1234),

  (2, 'Sales', 'Timesservedstartdate', '8/6/2012 12:00:00 AM', 1234),

  (3, 'Development', 'Reporting', 'Somevalue', 1234),

  (4, 'HumanResources', 'Reporting', '1', 1234),

  (5, 'Support', 'Reporting', '1', 1234);

  Trying to test the condition that i developed...i want to compare all the rows with the entry value '1'. Any values other than 1 should be equal to 0 is the condition. NOTE: entry is a varchar column

  IF (SELECT COALESCE((SELECT dI.[entry] FROM dbo.InitialData AS dI WITH(NOLOCK) WHERE dI.Dept = 'Reporting'

  AND dI.entry_name = 'PledgeRequireBatch'

  AND dI.orgID = 1234

  AND dI.[entry] <> 1), 0)) = 1

  BEGIN

  Select * from InitialData

  END

  ELSE

  Select TOP 1 * FROM InitialData

  I am getting the else statement result always but that is not what i want

  You can't. No big deal. It is best if somebody lets other know it is duplicate so you don't end up with answers in both threads.
