SQL syntax in SQL Server 2019 (1 Viewer)

[nector]

Can someone help me correct what is wrong with these letters in the SQL syntax below:

(1) "D" & "C3" line 16


SELECT
DISTINCTROW tblProducts.ProductID,
tblProducts.ProductName,
tblProducts.BarCode,
tblSalesTax.TaxClass,
tblPricing.Prices,
tblPricing.RRP,
tblSalesTax.VatRate,
tblSalesTax.Tourism,
tblSalesTax.Insurance,
tblSalesTax.TourismLevy,
tblPricing.TaxInclusive,
tblSalesTax.InsuranceRate,
tblSalesTax.InsuranceRate AS Premium,
IIf(
([TaxClass] = "D"),
Round(
IIf(([TaxClass] = "D"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
2
),
Round(
IIf(([TaxClass] = "C3"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
2
)
) AS ExportPrice,
tblPricing.NoTaxes,
tblProducts.Sales
FROM
tblSalesTax
INNER JOIN (
tblProducts
INNER JOIN (
tblcartergory
INNER JOIN tblPricing ON tblcartergory.CartID = tblPricing.CartID
) ON tblProducts.ProductID = tblPricing.ProductID
) ON tblSalesTax.IDClass = tblPricing.IDClass
WHERE
(((tblProducts.Sales) = Yes))
ORDER BY
tblProducts.ProductID DESC;

Have you tried using single quotes in place of double quotes?

 

[GPGeorge]

Yup, theDBGuy is right about the proper string delimiter for T-SQL as opposed to Access SQL.

Logically:

IIf(
   ([TaxClass] = "D"),
   Round(
     IIf(([TaxClass] = "D"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
     2
   ),
   Round(
     IIf(([TaxClass] = "C3"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
     2
   )
) AS ExportPrice,

That only needs to be one IF instead of 3.

I don't see any difference in the two calculations. AND there is no Else option. AND the Round() can go outside the primary IIf()

As others pointed out correctly, the primary delimiter for string literals in T-SQL is a single quote.
You can also enable double quotes as delimiter by setting SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF. This can also be configured in the ODBC connection settings. However, I would only see this as a temporary solution during an migration or for legacy applications. Some SQL Server functionality requires QUOTED_IDENTIFIER=ON. So, I would try to only use single quotes for any future development work.

Many thanks for the comments

[Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)

Clearly, I'm missing something.

How is this:

IIf(
   ([TaxClass] = "D"),
   Round(
     IIf(([TaxClass] = "D"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
     2
   ),
   Round(
     IIf(([TaxClass] = "C3"), [Prices],([Prices] / 1.16)),
     2
   )
) AS ExportPrice,

Different from This:

 Round(IIf(TaxClass = "D" OR TaxClass = "C3", 
      Prices, (Prices / 1.16)),2) AS ExportPrice,

 

[cheekybuddha]

Round(IIf(TaxClass = "D" OR TaxClass = "C3", Prices, (Prices / 1.16)),2) AS ExportPrice,

Or different from:

Round(
  Prices / IIF(TaxClass IN ('D', 'C3'), 1, 1.16),
  2
) AS ExportPrice

 

[Galaxiom]

Using a hard coded formula isn't a great idea.

A better plan would be to store the factor in a table related to TaxClass. Any future changes to the values or even a new TaxClass can be simply updated in the table.

Not sure In() works there. Did you test?

Yes, works for me (in T-SQL)
