Hi,

i have an "active" field in the database that has the words "active" and "inactive" in it

how can i do i select, to only show Y and N, depending on the "active"/"inactive" wording in that field?

Use CASE: CASE WHEN Column4 = 'Active' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END

If you want to restrict the data, then add a WHERE clause.
