I have an IIF statment in a query in Access;
SmallY: IIf([Small]=True,"YES"," ")

How can i translate this to SQL Server?

IIF(BooleanExpression, TruePart, FalsePart)

translates to

CASE WHEN BooleanExpression THEN TruePart ELSE FalsePart END

in SQL Server. (More typing but also more flexible).

Thanks - I actually came up with this but would still like to Group it by Last Name.
SELECT dbo.tblContact.ContactId, dbo.tblContact.FirstName + ' ' + dbo.tblContact.LastName AS COMMITTEENAME,
dbo.tblCommittee.Committee,
dbo.tblMemberCompany.CompanyName, dbo.tblMemberCompany.MemberId,
dbo.tblContact.Address1, dbo.tblContact.City,
dbo.tblContact.State, dbo.tblContact.Zip, dbo.tblContact.Phone,
dbo.tblContact.Fax, dbo.tblContact.Email,
CASE Committee WHEN 'Industry Operations Committee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Network Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Governmental Affairs Committee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Accounting & Finance Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Associate Members Committee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Regulatory Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Broadband Services Coalition' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'CLEC Coalition' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Conferences Committee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Customer Service Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Human Resources Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Marketing Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Membership & Bylaws Committee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Network Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 'Marketing Subcommittee' THEN 'Yes'
Else ''
END As Committee
FROM dbo.tblCommitteeMember INNER JOIN
dbo.tblMemberContact ON
dbo.tblCommitteeMember.MemberContID = dbo.tblMemberContact.MemberContId
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblContact ON
dbo.tblMemberContact.ContactId = dbo.tblContact.ContactID INNER
JOIN
dbo.tblCommittee ON
dbo.tblCommitteeMember.CommitteeID = dbo.tblCommittee.CommitteeID
INNER JOIN
dbo.tblMemberCompany ON
dbo.tblMemberContact.MemberId = dbo.tblMemberCompany.MemberID
ORDER BY dbo.tblMemberCompany.CompanyName, COMMITTEENAME

You can also simplify CASE as

Case WHEN Committee in('Industry Operations Committee','Network Subcommittee',...) THEN 'Yes' else '' END

Hey,

I have a similar question, I have a table with ID, FirstName, MiddleName, and LastName fields. Now, when I query this, I need only two fields : the ID and a FullName field formatted like so (LastName + [space] + [comma] + [space] + FirstName + [the middle initial if any (consisting of [space] + middleinitial + [period])

Examples would be:
Fugita,Tsuyoshi N.
Beleren, Jace

NOTE that in the first example, Tsuyoshi's middle name is 'Nakajima' so his middle initial is 'N.'. Also in second example, Jace has no middle name so, it should be blank.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

I have devised this statement which reads:

(CASE WHEN LEN(MiddleName) = 0 THEN LastName + ', ' + FirstName ELSE LastName + ', ' + FirstName + ' ' + LEFT(MiddleName, 1) + '.' END) AS FullName

But when I run this, it gives me the proper result for the first record but leaves the second record blank.

Can someone explain this?

NO rules.

Wait, i think i've solved it:

CASE WHEN LEN(fldMN) > 0 THEN fldLN + ', ' + fldFN + ' ' + LEFT(fldMN, 1) + '.' ELSE fldLN + ', ' + fldFN END AS FullName

dont know why this one works and the other doesn't though... so I still beg for an explanation.

NO rules.

I have the following statement in Access:

IIf([SVSX04]='S','HS',IIf([SVSX04]='A','AGE',IIf([SVSX04]='P' And ([SCSPGM]<>'341' And [SCSPGM]<>'371' And [SCSPGM]<>'372'),'PSAV',IIf([SVSX04]='P' And [SCSPGM]='341','CWE',IIf([SVSX04]='P' And [SCSPGM]='371','APPR','0'))))) AS FLAG

I am trying to code it in SQL Server but I am having difficulties. I am using the following in SQL Server:

IIf([TRMSD.TSVSP.SVSX04]='S','HS',IIf([TRMSD.TSVSP.SVSX04]='A','AGE',IIf([TRMSD.TSVSP.SVSX04]='P' And ([TRMSD.SSCSP.SCSPGM]<>'341' And [TRMSD.SSCSP.SCSPGM]<>'371' And [TRMSD.SSCSP.SCSPGM]<>'372'),'PSAV',IIf([TRMSD.TSVSP.SVSX04]='P' And [TRMSD.SSCSP.SCSPGM]='341','CWE',IIf([TRMSD.TSVSP.SVSX04]='P' And [TRMSD.SSCSP.SCSPGM]='371','APPR','0'))))) AS FLAG

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
