Bob writes "In access it is possible to use the iif() function in a query to test for the value of a field, assign a value to that field according to the value return from the iif() function.
I am looking for the same functionality in SQL Server. Heres my example
I have three field that make up an equipment number
Unit_Type = AHU
Bldg_Id = TD
Unit_No = 01
in a view you can do this
Unit_Type + "-" + Bldg_Id + "-" + Unit_No As Equip_No
now Equip_No = AHU-TD-01
In some cases the Bldg_Id field is not filled out and the Equip_No should read AHU-01. However in a view you cannot test for the value of Bldg_ID and Equip_No would equal AHU--01 (notice the two dashes)
So my question is this... Is there a way in a user function to test for the value of the Bldg_Id field, if it is null make Equip_No AHU-01 instead of AHU--01. I would then want to use this as the recordsource for a view?
Thank you so much for your time" |
