| I'm getting an average number of days in a particular query. However, I want to turn that data into meaningful information. So for example, if my average number of days is 365, I want column_B to be '1 Year', if the average number of days is 7, I want column_B to say '1 Week', if my average number of days is 372, I want column_B to say '1 Year, 1 Week'. Is there any easy way to do this in SQL? |
