I'm almost certain you cannot do this within the context of the case statement, and I haven't been able to find any documentation about it, but is it possible to do the following:
SELECT CASE WHEN testValue > 2
THEN testValue(Without Repeating it) ELSE FailValue)
END
FROM Table
A better more thorough example:
Select CASE WHEN (Foo-stuff+bar) > 2
THEN Conditional statement without >2 Else "Fail"
END
FROM TABLE
I am looking for a way to create a select without repeating the conditional query.
EDIT: Due to a poor example on my part, and the lack of answers I was looking for:
testValue = (Table.A / Table.B) * Table.C Table.D
SELECT CASE WHEN testValue > 2
THEN testValue ELSE FailValue)
END
FROM Table
Like so
DECLARE @t INT=1
SELECT CASE
WHEN @t>0 THEN
CASE
WHEN @t=1 THEN 'one'
ELSE 'not one'
END
ELSE 'less than one'
END
EDIT: After looking more at the question, I think the best option is to create a function that calculates the value. That way, if you end up having multiple places where the calculation needs done, you only have one point to maintain the logic.
