Hey Guys

This is really basic question, but i am really struggling

I believe i need a case when statement but not sure how to go around it.

In the [Omnipay_Account]column there is only ever two outcomes

Either Null
Or a number

For eg

FDMSAccountNo Omnipay_Account
878000000884 NULL
878000001882 NULL
878000002880 NULL
878000003888 NULL
878000000884 000001
878000001882 000012
878000002880 000013
878000003888 000014

I want to create a separate coloumn to say, if the [Omnipay_Account] is null then produce a 0, if it has a number to produce 1.

FDMSAccountNo Omnipay_Account New column
878000000884 NULL 0
878000001882 NULL 0
878000002880 NULL 0
878000003888 NULL 0
878000000884 000001 1
878000001882 000012 1
878000002880 000013 1
878000003888 000014 1

This is my query so far

SELECT
[FDMSAccountNo],
[Omnipay_Account]
FROM [FDMS].[dbo].[Dim_Outlet]
