How to work with case statement names

  • HI

    In the following code, I have two fields, one comes from a case statement.

    I need to make a computed field that subtracts one from the other (like this  [Gross_Revenue])-  [Debits_and_Credits_Cost].

    But of course you cannot do this.

    So what can I do?

    Thank you

    SELECT Count(*) AS 'Count of Tranactions',
    bh.[company_name]
    ,[standard_entry_class_code]
    ,CASE
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverWI' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverIL' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'LendYouCashTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .50
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'MYPD' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'PowerLend' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .50
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    END AS [Gross_Revenue],
    Count(bh.[company_name]) * .11 AS [Debits_and_Credits_Cost],
    [Gross_Revenue] - [Debits_and_Credits_Cost] AS NetRev

     

  • Put it in a common table expression and subtract it in a select from the CTE.

    ;WITH CTE AS
    (
    SELECT Count(*) AS 'Count of Tranactions',
    bh.[company_name]
    ,[standard_entry_class_code]
    ,CASE
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverWI' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'Cash4WhateverIL' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'CashLaneUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'LendYouCashTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .50
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'MYPD' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'PowerLend' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .50
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashTX' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashMO' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] = 'DirectCashUT' THEN Count(bh.[company_name]) * .40
    END AS [Gross_Revenue],
    Count(bh.[company_name]) * .11 AS [Debits_and_Credits_Cost],
    ...
    )
    SELECT [Count of Tranactions],
    [company_name],
    [standard_entry_class_code],
    [Gross_Revenue],
    [Debits_and_Credits_Cost],
    [Gross_Revenue] - [Debits_and_Credits_Cost] AS NetRev
    FROM CTE
  • Add an outer query, something like this:

    SELECT *, [Gross_Revenue] -  [Debits_and_Credits_Cost] AS NetRev
    FROM (
    SELECT Count(*) AS 'Count of Tranactions',
    bh.[company_name]
    ,[standard_entry_class_code]
    ,Count(bh.[company_name]) *
    CASE WHEN bh.[company_name] IN ('Cash4WhateverTX', 'Cash4WhateverMO',
    'Cash4WhateverUT', 'Cash4WhateverWI', 'Cash4WhateverIL',
    'CashLaneTX', 'CashLaneMO', 'CashLaneUT') THEN .25
    WHEN bh.[company_name] IN ('MYPD', 'DirectCashTX',
    'DirectCashMO', 'DirectCashUT') THEN .40
    WHEN bh.[company_name] IN ('LendYouCashTX', 'PowerLend') THEN .50
    END AS [Gross_Revenue],
    Count(bh.[company_name]) * .11 AS [Debits_and_Credits_Cost]
    FROM ...
    GROUP BY ...
    ) AS derived
