Hmm... the only problem with this is I don't think the code takes into account what the SpaceType is.I need the Name1 column to say Vacant "SpaceType" only if the SpaceType is a workspace or an office and there is no employee allocated to that particular Space_Number. (Ideally when there is a vacant workspace, then Name1 will read Vacant Cubicle, instead of vacant workspace).
Otherwise, it should remain Null. So if the SpaceType is Restroom for example, I do not the Name1 to read Vacant Cubicle, nor do I want it to read Vacant Restroom.
You lost me a bit here. I think you can accomplish what you are after by simply tossing in an additional NULLIF or maybe a case. Can you post up some sample data with the requirements you are talking about and what the desired output should be from that data?
