multiple case statements in sproc

  • Hi,

    I'm getting an invalid column error (Invalid column name 'EPPO') and was wondering if anyone could assist with a solution:

    SELECT UIC

    , TAMCN

    , CASE

    WHEN Prnt.SumOfPO_MEB IS NOT NULL

    THEN Prnt.SumOfPO_MEB

    ELSE Child.SumOfPO_MEB

    END AS "EPPO"

    , QtyReleased

    , CASE

    WHEN EPPO is not null and QtyReleased is not null

    THEN EPPO + QtyReleased

    WHEN EPPO is not null and QtyReleased is null

    THEN EPPO

    WHEN EPPO is null and QtyReleased is not null

    THEN QtyReleased

    END "TotalPO"

    FROMdbo.NAV_EPChild_Sum Child FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.NAV_EPPrnt_Sum Prnt

    ON Child.UIC = Prnt.UIC

    AND Child.TAMCN = Prnt.TAMCN

    Thanks so much!

  • You should be able to simplify the query using the ISNULL and COALESCE functions.

    SELECT UIC,

    TAMCN,

    ISNULL(Prnt.SumOfPO_MEB,Child.SumOfPO_MEB) AS EPPO,

    QtyReleased,

    Coalesce(Prnt.SumOfPO_MEB,Child.SumOfPO_MEB,0) + ISNULL(QtyReleased,0) AS TotalPO

    FROM dbo.NAV_EPChild_Sum Child FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.NAV_EPPrnt_Sum Prnt

    ON Child.UIC = Prnt.UIC

    AND Child.TAMCN = Prnt.TAMCN

  • Thanks! I got that to work.

    I didn't think of ISNULL and COALESCE.

    I'm assuming you used ISNULL because there were only two arguments and is more efficient?

    Also, I see that it's necessary to use the full statement instead of the new column name. Is that always the case? Some of my statements are quite long (this is only a small part of my code).
