Case when SYNTAX
Hi all,
I am trying to write a case statement for a column when we see a null to grab another column. I am not sure why I am not getting the output expected.
Can someone take a look and maybe advise?
Essentially 36534370 and 36534369 from the investor_loan_id column should be in the left column as well.
**I've tried to change both columns to integers and back, that wasnt the issue
If this helps, feel free to agree, accept or awesome it!

Did you try skipping the transform to null?
Case when coalesce(trim(`commitment`), '') ='' then `loan` else `commitment` end
I can't find this written anywhere, so maybe I'm making it up, but I'm pretty sure you can't THEN NULL to return nulls. I'm surprised it's not throwing a syntax error.
