Question

I try to do a calculated column using SQL Server 2008 but get a syntax error near >:

Select
   *, 
   AverageCost = case Quantity 
                    when > 0 then (TotalCost / Quantity) 
                    else null 
                 end 
from ProductTable;

Could someone with sharper eyes tell me what’s wrong?

Answer 1

the Quantity must be after the then

Select *, AverageCost = 
case when Quantity > 0 then (TotalCost / Quantity) else null end from ProductTable;
