Question

I would like to incorporate into SQL an if statement determining if the value of a string is equal to “” (and I don’t mean an empty string – I mean a string of two quotation marks). How can I do this. I would like the SQL to look something like this:

Select iif(Answer="","No Response", Answer)

Answer 1

It looks like you’re using Microsoft Access (judging by the use of iif). To escape double quotes, you should be able to do:

Select iif(Answer = """""", "No Response", Answer)
From tblAnswers
