Question

When I run this query:

select
    First_Name,
    sum(a) a,
    sum(b) b,
    sum(c) c
from someTable
group by First_Name with rollup

the first column First_Name and the last row (total row) shows a NULL (since it can’t be summed), I want to show a custom string value instead of null. I know I can use isnull or a case here, but I want only the rolled up row to be affected.

Thanks!

SELECT  CASE WHEN GROUPING_ID(First_Name) = 1 THEN 'Total' ELSE First_Name END,
        SUM(a),
        SUM(b),
        SUM(c)
FROM    data
GROUP BY
        First_Name WITH ROLLUP
