Case When

This is confusing to me. I am used to If, then statements.

 

Could someone tell me the error when using this statement. The idea is when the discount level is 0 I want to divide it by 64, if it is not 0 then I want to divide by 24.

 

This is what I have. 

 

CASE WHEN `Discount`=0 then `Quantity`/ 64  else  `Quantity` / 24 

 

Thanks!

    Every case statement needs to finish with an end statement:

     

    CASE WHEN `Discount`=0 then `Quantity`/ 64  else  `Quantity` / 24 END

     

    You will also need to make sure that the `Discount` field is a numeric field.  If it is text, then you will need to do:

    CASE WHEN `Discount`='0' then `Quantity`/ 64  else  `Quantity` / 24 END
