The problem with case statements is that usually each one takes up a row for itself and then assigns a NULL value for the next case statement in the cell right next to it.<\/p>\n
Here is an example of a query with 2 case statements that behaves that way:<\/strong><\/p>\n \nSELECT CASE WHEN ( ct.type_name = ‘manager’ ) Output will look like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n But we want the output to look like this instead:<\/strong><\/p>\n How to fix:<\/strong><\/p>\n SELECT Another example:<\/strong><\/p>\n with case when sum(value)<\/p>\n \nsum(CASE WHEN ltr.LookupName IN (‘Distribution’ The problem with case statements is that usually each one takes up a row for itself and then assigns a NULL value for the next…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,12],"tags":[51,52,54,57,55,56,50,53,43,49],"class_list":["post-360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-how_to","category-sql","tag-51","tag-case","tag-in","tag-max","tag-one","tag-row","tag-sql-2","tag-statement","tag-sum","tag-tsql"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281225,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360\/revisions\/281225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkncreations.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
