Hi,
Is it possible to do as follows:
If Column1 = 0 then instead select the value from column2?
Like this:
SELECT CASE [Unit cost]
WHEN 0 THEN [Logistic Unit price]
END
FROM blablabla
or like this perhaps:
SELECT 'UnitCost' = CASE
WHEN [Unit cost] = 0 THEN [Logistic Unit price]
END
FROM blablabla

Yes, you can do it balalalalala

My problem is, that in this specific query the value is Null when it has to choose column2... (and the value is not null ;-))

Ahh... Got it working.. The problem was of course that I did not have an ELSE ... When the value <> 0 then Colounm1. 🙂

An alternative to CASE: -
--Build some test data since you didn't supply any
DECLARE @blablabla AS TABLE (UnitCost MONEY, UnitPrice MONEY)
INSERT INTO @blablabla
SELECT 0, 1.50
UNION ALL SELECT 1.12, 1.45
UNION ALL SELECT 1.53, 0
UNION ALL SELECT 0, 0.15
--Now the query
SELECT ISNULL(NULLIF(UnitCost,0),UnitPrice)
FROM @blablabla

Well that was even better...

Well, that depends 😉
Best bet is to run some tests on your own data, or knock-up some test data to play with.
Try this to get you started -
DECLARE @blablabla AS TABLE (UnitCost MONEY, UnitPrice MONEY)
INSERT INTO @blablabla
SELECT TOP 1000000
CASE WHEN RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 10 < 5
THEN 0
ELSE ROUND(RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 100.00,2) END,
ROUND(RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 100.00,2)
FROM sys.all_columns ac1
CROSS JOIN sys.all_columns ac2
--Check Data
SELECT * FROM @blablabla
