Hi,

I am trying to flag with '1' if two rows of same ID has NOT NULL value,
SOURCE TABLE:

ID LINE COL
1 1 'A'
1 2 'B'
2 1 NULL
1 1 NULL
3 1 'C'
3 4 'D'

Desired O/P:

ID Flag
1 1
2 0
3 1

I want to group by ID and flag if it has a not Null value. Please let me know thanks in advance.

try this:

select id
      ,sign(sum(case when col is null then 0 else 1 end)) as flag
  from thetable as a
 group by id
 order by id


edit:
the above does not work as intended, try this instead:

select id
      ,case when sum(case when col is null then 0 else 1 end)>2 then 1 else 0 end as flag
  from thetable as a
 group by id
 order by id

Slight variation:
select
  id,
  case when count(col) > 1 then 1 else 0 end flag
from
  @MyTbl
group by id
order by id;
The COUNT aggregate won't count NULL values. This potentially runs a little quicker.
