Question

SELECT 
        EQ.EventQuestId, 
        EQ.QuestionText, 
        EQ.HelpText, 
        EQ.EventQuestOptType, 
        EQ.DisplayOrder AS QuestDisplayOrder, 
        EQO.EventQuestOptId, 
        EQO.OptionText, 
        EQO.IsOtherSpecify,
        STJC.STJCategory,
        EQO.DisplayOrder AS OptDisplayOrder,
        EA.EventId, EA.AnswerText 
            FROM EventQuest EQ 
            INNER JOIN EventQuestOpt EQO 
                ON EQ.EventQuestId = EQO.EventQuestId 
            LEFT JOIN EventAnswer EA 
                ON EA.EventQuestId = EQ.EventQuestId 
                    AND EA.EventQuestOptId = EQO.EventQuestOptId
                    AND EventId = @EventId
            LEFT JOIN dbo.STJCategories STJC 
                ON STJC.STJID = EQO.STJID
                    WHERE EQO.Status <> 'false'
                        ORDER BY EQ.DisplayOrder, EQO.DisplayOrder

I have this in my stored proc. I want to set the EQ.QuestionText to the STJC.STJCategory value wherever EQ.QuestionText = “example”. I just want this in the returned result, not in table it came from. How do I go about this as I’ve never tried to do this before and have no clue where to begin with that, if it’s possible.

I hope this makes sense.

You can use case for that:

select  case 
        when EQ.QuestionText = 'example' then STJC.STJCategory 
        else EQ.QuestionText 
        end as QuestionText
