Question

I have a query that is returning the exchange rate value set up in our system. Not every order will have an exchange rate (currate.currentrate) so it is returning null values.

Can I get it to return 1 instead of null?

Something like an if statement maybe:

 if isnull(currate.currentrate) then 1 else currate.currentrate 

Here is my query below. I greatly appreciate all your help!

 SELECT     orderhed.ordernum, orderhed.orderdate, currrate.currencycode,  currrate.currentrate
 FROM         orderhed LEFT OUTER JOIN
                  currrate ON orderhed.company = currrate.company AND orderhed.orderdate = currrate.effectivedate

You can use a CASE statement.

SELECT 
    CASE WHEN currate.currentrate IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE currate.currentrate END
FROM ...
