  • RE: Need help on small project from SQL professional

    Something like this should do it:

    or not exists

    pommguest99 (3/31/2008)


    In line with the previous request, lets say how do I find the percentage, between a.lev1 & b.firstline.

    As it is forecasting vis-a-vis, the value can never be greater...

  • RE: Using case to find the difference

    I decided to test it for performance:

    create table #Test (

    Lev1 int,

    Firstline int)

    insert into #test (lev1, firstline)

    select t1.number, t2.number

    from common.dbo.numbers t1,

    common.dbo.numbers t2

    where t1.number <= 100

    and t2.number <= 1000

    insert into #test (lev1,...

  • RE: Using case to find the difference

    You needed to add more Whens.

    when lev1 is null then firstline

    when firstline is null then lev1

    That would solve it too.

  • RE: Using case to find the difference

    This should do the whole thing in one fell swoop:

    diff = abs(coalesce(ea.lev1, 0) - coalesce(b.firstline, 0))

    Should allow you to eliminate the Case statement entirely.

  • RE: Splitting Table Column on Delimiter

    Probably the simplest solution is to use Pivot after you break it up into rows. Otherwise, it's five sub-queries, one for each column.
