Thanks for reading and all the past help.

I am summing financial data on account level and my select statement contains . . .

(-sum(case when dbo.Trans.TransType = 'WAGER' then DeltaCash else 0 end) + sum(case when dbo.Trans.TransType = 'CANCELWAGER' then Deltacash else 0 end))
/ (sum(case when dbo.Trans.TransType = 'DEPOSIT' then DeltaCash else 0 end)) as RtD


In some cases there is no deposit thus I am trying to divide by zero, how do I remove the error and return a null value?

Thanks in advance.

NULLIF(sum(case when dbo.Trans.TransType = 'DEPOSIT' then DeltaCash else 0 end),0)
