Question

I have my roles table (which to me was poorly planned) which consists of 4 fields: role_name, type1, type2, type3.

Each typeX either has a Y for yes or N for no.

Sample data:

Hero, Y, N, N
Human, N, Y, N
Dog, Y, N, N

I’d like my output to be:

Hero Type1
Human Type2
Dog Type1

Help? Please!

You need to use the IIF statement for this, and in your case you must nest them.
Something like:

select role_name,
    iif(type1 = "Y", "Type1", iif(type2 = "Y", "Type2", iif(type3 = "Y", "Type3", "unknown")))
from roles
