• I don't see where you've used that particular ISNULL as a join. It think it would be a problem if it were actually in a join because it uses two tables. But, using it in the SELECT list of a derived table like you have is not a problem. In fact, that's one of the reasons why ISNULL and COALESCE exist.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
