I am developing a report to pull information out of a database using the Visual Studio Business Intellegence Studio.

I have a query to count the number of rows in a specific date range, however, if there are no records in the date range it does not display anything at all but I need it to display 0.

This is the query:
SELECT COUNT(OpportunityId) AS NoSalesWon
FROM OpportunityBase
WHERE (CreatedOn BETWEEN CAST(DATEADD(dd, - 7, GETDATE()) AS DATE) AND CAST(DATEADD(dd, 0, GETDATE()) AS DATE))
GROUP BY StatusCode
HAVING (StatusCode = 1)
UNION ALL
SELECT 0 AS Expr1
WHERE (NOT EXISTS
(SELECT OpportunityId
FROM OpportunityBase AS OpportunityBase_1
WHERE (StatusCode = 2)))

This returns a value of 0 if there are no records counted - Great :D
However, if there are records counted it display the number of records as well as a 0 in the row underneath which I don't want.

Is there anyway to stop this happening?

SELECT COUNT(OpportunityId) AS NoSalesWon
FROM OpportunityBase
WHERE ISNULL((CreatedOn BETWEEN CAST(DATEADD(dd, - 7, GETDATE()) AS DATE) AND CAST(DATEADD(dd, 0, GETDATE()),0) AS DATE))
GROUP BY StatusCode
HAVING (StatusCode = 1)
