SELECT tb_final_item_Report_1.* ,
(select top 1 isnull(Stock, 0) from Tb_Item_Cost_Ledger where ItemId = tb_final_item_Report_1.CoA_ID and Vdate < = '20100101' Order By [Vdate] Desc, [VTYPE] Desc, [VMID] Desc, [OtherId] Desc, [VDID] Desc, [AutoId] Desc ) as Stock
FROM tb_final_item_Report_1
INNER JOIN Tb_Item

ok i will try to make it simple

there are 2 tables

1 tb_item

2 tb_item_cost_ledger

tb_item has all the items in it

tb_item_cost_ledger has running stock information in it with dates

the stock field is available in tb_item_cost_ledger with date

now i want to get the stock of all items on a specific date

so i used a sub query to get that stock

SELECT

Tb_item.Item_part_number ,

Tb_item.item_description,

(SELECT TOP 1 ISNULL(Stock, 0) FROM Tb_Item_Cost_Ledger WHERE (ItemId = Tb_Item.CoA_ID) AND (Vdate <= '20100101') ORDER BY Vdate DESC) as Stock

FROM Tb_Item

now i dnt want the zero stock items to show in the result

i hope that clears my question thx for response

SELECT TOP 1 Stock FROM Tb_Item_Cost_Ledger WHERE (ItemId = Tb_Item.CoA_ID) AND (Vdate <= '20100101')

AND ISNULL(stock, 0) > 0

ORDER BY Vdate DESC

SELECT Tb_item.Item_part_number , Tb_item.item_description, (SELECT TOP 1 ISNULL(Stock, 0) FROM Tb_Item_Cost_Ledger WHERE (ItemId = Tb_Item.CoA_ID) AND (Vdate <= '20100101') ORDER BY Vdate DESC) as Stock FROM Tb_Item

The problem is with the scope of your ISNULL(). You're checking for NULL values in the subquery, when you probably want to check for NULL values in the main query.

SELECT

Tb_item.Item_part_number ,

Tb_item.item_description,

ISNULL( (

SELECT TOP 1 Stock

FROM Tb_Item_Cost_Ledger

WHERE (ItemId = Tb_Item.CoA_ID)

AND (Vdate <= '20100101')

ORDER BY Vdate DESC)

, 0) as Stock

FROM Tb_Item

The first one will only return a 0 if the column is null in the first row that meets the criteria. It will return a NULL if there are no rows that meet the criteria. The second one will return 0 in both cases.
