Hi,
I'm have a question on syntax here.
I want to classify each of seven variable values into one of two values and place the new values in a new column.
I have success with the following syntax:
CASE
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n = 'Miscellaneous' then 'Non-Safety'
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n = 'State Miscellaneous' then 'Non-Safety'
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n = 'State Industrial' then 'Non-Safety'
ELSE 'Safety'
END
Can I roll the conditions into one WHEN statement and one THEN statement, for example:
CASE
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n = ('Miscellaneous' or 'State Miscellaneous' or 'State Industrial') then 'Non-Safety'
ELSE 'Safety'
END
It doesn't work, but could it work with different syntax?
Thanks for your help.
Dru
Use IN operator.
CASE
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n IN ('Miscellaneous' , 'State Miscellaneous' , 'State Industrial') then 'Non-Safety'
ELSE 'Safety'
END
Use IN operator.
CASE
WHEN t1.'MEMBER CATEGORY DESC'n IN ('Miscellaneous' , 'State Miscellaneous' , 'State Industrial') then 'Non-Safety'
ELSE 'Safety'
END
Thanks Tom, it worked perfectly!
