I am having difficulty with my sql and I am not sure what do to. I am new to this. Any help you can give would be helpful.

Here is the statement that is giving me trouble. If I take this out of my Sql query everything runs fine.

CASE clm_att1
WHEN 'NG' THEN (clm_sppo)*(clio_fee04/100)
WHEN 'NA' THEN '0.00'
WHEN 'AF' THEN (clm_sppo)*(clio_fee04/100)*.65
ELSE ''
END as AccessFeeFinal,

Below is my full query.

SELECT
--clms_sku,
--clms_line,
--clm_prod,
clio_type,
clm.clm_id1,
clm.clm_rcvd,
CLM_DOUT,
clm_wkpct,
clm.clm_1a,
clm.clm_12a,
clm.clm_12b,
clm.clm_55d,
clm.clm_clir,
clm.clm_65a,
clm.clm_medb2,
clm.clm_tchg,
clm.clm_base,
clm.clm_stades,
clm.clm_meda4,

CLM_H30 =
Case
When CLM_H30 = 0.00 Then clm_sppo
else clm_H30
End,

clm_prod =
CASE
WHEN CLMS_sku = 'NEGO' THEN 'NEG'
WHEN CLMS_sku = '% OF CHGS' THEN 'NEG'
ELSE clm_prod
End,

"clm_nego" =
CASE
WHEN CLM_ATT1 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT2 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT3 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT4 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
ELSE clm_nego
END,

"clm_sppo" =
CASE
WHEN CLM_ATT1 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT2 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT3 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT4 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
ELSE clm_sppo
END,

clm_1e,
clm.CLM_ATT1 as Note,

CASE clm_att1
WHEN 'NG' THEN (clm_sppo)*(clio_fee04/100)
WHEN 'NA' THEN '0.00'
WHEN 'AF' THEN (clm_sppo)*(clio_fee04/100)*.65
ELSE ''
END as AccessFeeFinal,

CLM_ATT2,
CLM_ATT3,
clio_fee04 as "ACCESSFEEIMPACT",

"(clm_sppo/CLM_TCHG) * 100" =
CASE
WHEN CLM_ATT1 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT2 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT3 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
WHEN CLM_ATT4 = 'NA' THEN 0.00
ELSE (clm_sppo/CLM_TCHG) * 100
END,

clio_wrk1 as MAS90#

FROM dbo.clm clm Join
dbo.cli cli ON clm.clm_clir = cli.cli_id1 JOIN
dbo.clip clip ON cli.cli_id1 = clip.clip_id1 JOIN
dbo.clio clio ON cli.cli_id1 = clio.clio_id1
INNER JOIN dbo.clms clms ON clms.clms_id = clm.clm_id1

WHERE
(clip.clip_prd IN ('NEG', 'ADV')) AND
(clm_prod = 'ADV' OR clms_sku = 'NEGO' OR clms_sku = '% OF CHGS')AND
(CLM_STADES IN ('DONE','DUPO','DUPL'))and
clm_adjto = '' AND CLM_TCHG > 0. and
(clio.clio_type = 'AC')

Thank you so much. What if I didn't want a zero in the else? Is there a way I can have it be blank on the report?

How can you have blank (space character) for a numeric expression? Since all of your other cases evaluate to numeric, you will have to put numeric value in ELSE part as well.

I won't be able to, you are right. I don't know why they even told me to do that.
