No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| Thank you!... I looked closer and realized I should have filtered the initial select with a where...this eliminated the need for nested case's...select SUM(CASE when Requested_Completion_Date_ >= Actual_End_Date then 1 else 0 end)AS MetricValue FROM CHG_Change where Actual_End_Date is not null |
