How can I display multiple fields in Case statement.
If I use a "," , it gives an error...
Declare @DateInput as Date = '2012-06-10'
Select
Case when @DateInput between '2012-06-06' and '2013-06-10'
then
AnniversaryStartDate
,AnniversaryEndDate
Else
Null
End
from dbo.AnniversaryData
where DateInput = @DateInput
Error Incorrect syntax near ','.

You can't. You need to repeat the CASE statement for every column needed or change the logic.

Declare @DateInput as Date

Select

Case when @DateInput between '2012-06-06'and '2013-06-10'

Then

AnniversaryStartDate

when @DateInput between '2012-06-06'and '2013-06-10'

Then

AnniversaryEndDate

Else

Null

End as AnniversaryStartDate,AnniversaryEndDate

from dbo.AnniversaryData

where DateInput = @DateInput

This resolves the issue of multiple cases, but now get an error saying Invalid Column. I do not have a columnname dateInput in my Anniversary Data table. But I want to accept a date parameter and if it falls between the start and end anniversary dates , display the details. Any advise?

Here is the script:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AnniversaryData](

[AnniversaryNumber] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,

[ARAmt] [decimal](24, 2) NULL,

[AnniversaryStartDate] [date] NULL,

[AnniversaryEndDate] [date] NULL,

[InvoiceDueDate] [date] NULL)

CONSTRAINT [AnniversaryData] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[AnniversaryNumber] ASC

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

Output must be : If I pass 10-10-2012 as input then it should check between Anniversarystartdate and

AnniversaryEndDate. If it falls in that then it should display that else Null

I'm taking a shot in the dark here. But is this what you are looking for?

declare @DateInput Date = '2012-10-10'

select anniversaryNumber,

case when @DateInput between AnniversaryStartDate and AnniversaryEndDate then AnniversaryStartDate else null end StartDate,

case when @DateInput between AnniversaryStartDate and AnniversaryEndDate then AnniversaryEndDate else null end EndDate

from AnniversaryData
