I have one table that has two fields – ID1 and ID2
ID1 can be blank, ID2 is always populated.

I’d like to create a view that contains one field. This field would be the data from ID2 unless ID1 has a value in which case I need it to be ID1.

Coalesce doesn’t work for me as ID1 isn’t null.

All advice greatly received!

    Whatever “blank” means, if it’s not NULL, can be expressed in a CASE condition:

    CASE WHEN ID1 = 'blank' THEN ID2 ELSE ID1 END
    

    Where ID1 = 'blank' is whatever your condition is.
