Use

Oracle DECODE = T-SQL:

CASE WHEN [condition 1] THEN [expression 1]

WHEN [condition 2] THEN [expression 2]

....

ELSE [expression]

END

SUBSTR = T-SQL: SUBSTRING

NVL = T-SQL: ISNULL

YTD Deprn=DECODE(TRUNC(PYE Deprn Reserve+YTD Deprn2,2),0,0,YTD Deprn2)--

DECODE can be replaced by a case statement as it is a "if then else" function.

First, are you using SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2005? You have double posted in two different forums.

Second, please don't double post, it fragments answers you may get.

Third, you want to convert the DECODE to a CASE clause.

OK

this is where i am at and stuck

declare @period_name as date = 'DEC-10'

case when substring(period_name,5,2) = '@periodname' THEN SUBSTRING('@periodname' ,5,2)

the period names are in format DEC-01, JAN-01, FEB-01 etc

Have you read BoL about SUBSTRING function?

substring(period_name,5,2) will return string of 2 characters length starting from 5th character of period_name...

Placing @periodname variable in quotes makes it literal string constant.

Remove the quotes from '@periodname'

declare @period_name as date = 'DEC-10'

SELECT CASE WHEN substring(period_name,5,2) = @periodname THEN SUBSTRING(@periodname ,5,2)

I think you'll need to change the way you deal with this slightly.

I suspect that your period_name column is a char or varchar, so declaring @periodname as a date is a wee bit pointless and won't work in a SUBSTRING without a explicit conversion.

Taking your first statement to convert you would get something like

-- YTD_Deprn2=DECODE(SUBSTR(Period_Name,-2),SUBSTR(:Date,-2),DECODE(NVL(Prior Fy Expense,0),0,NVL(Ytd_ Deprn,0),Ytd Less Pfye),0)

-- assuming column for comparison is char or varchar

-- if it is a date datatype use YEAR(...)

DECLARE @periodName varchar(7) = 'DEC-10'

SELECT

CASE

-- If date use WHEN YEAR(Period_Name) = YEAR(@periodName) THEN

WHEN SUBSTRING(Period_Name,5,2) = SUBSTRING(@periodName,5,2) THEN

CASE

WHEN ISNULL([Prior Fy Expense],0) = 0 THEN ISNULL([Ytd_ Deprn],0)

ELSE [Ytd Less Pfye]

END

ELSE 0

END
