| I am trying to create a variable that I call subflag. It says where a subscriberid = memberid then assign a 1 or else assign a 0.select ReportingMonth Program ,SubscriberId ,MemberId ,case when SubscriberId = MemberId then '1' else '0' end as Subflag into temp from mytablewhere year(reportingmonth)= '2010'Then I just want to sum the subflag field and count the memberid field by program:select Program ,sum(convert(int,subflag)) as Subs ,count(memberid) as Membersfrom tempwhere month(reportingmonth) = '12'I get results, but they do not look correct to me. What am I doing wrong? |

forcing everything to text seems to stand out... and maybe a missing comma ??select ReportingMonth ,Program ,SubscriberId ,MemberId ,case when SubscriberId = MemberId then 1 else 0 end as Subflaginto tempfrom mytablewhere year(reportingmonth)= 2010select Program ,sum(convert(int,subflag)) as Subs ,count(memberid) as Membersfrom tempwhere month(reportingmonth) = 12 Corey I Has Returned!! |

I dont intentinally force things to text.....both the subscriberid and memberid are intergers. Does this - ,casewhen SubscriberId = MemberId then '1' else '0' end as Subflag - convert it to text??quote: Originally posted by jcb267 I am trying to create a variable that I call subflag.

I was referring to the = '<int>' scenarios and the 'then' and 'else' values...it doesn't convert your existing data... but [subflag] would be textand month() & year() return an int, so no need to put the value in quotes...on a different note... did the comma help?Corey I Has Returned!! |
