How to assign decimal value to string in SQL Server 2012 - sql-server

Question

I'm converting a formula from Crystal Reports into a Sql View.
The SQL Syntax that produced the decimal output was this:
if {ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier}="TPOCFBOI" then 1.10 else
if {ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier}="TPOBCB"then 0.50 else
if {ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier}="TPOCFB"then 0.75 else
if {INSTITUTION.Region}="WMG" then .01 else
if {vAM_CRG_LOAN_OFFICER_NAME.LoanOfficerName} ="Margaret S. Smith"
then .875
What would the code look like in a Sql View to produce a decimal (3
places)?
I tried
DECLARE
#LO_Individual_Comp DECIMAL(18,3),
BEGIN
SELECT description INTO LO_Individual_Comp
FROM {ACCOUNT_INFO}
WHERE InstitutionIdentifier} = "TPOCFBOI";
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('1.10' || LO_Individual_Comp;
END;
If > Then Sql Equivalent to return a decimal (3 places)

Answer 1

You could use a CASE statement
select
case
when ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier ='TPOCFBOI' then 1.10
when ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier ='TPOBCB' then 0.50
when ACCOUNT_INFO.InstitutionIdentifier ='TPOCFB' then 0.75
when INSTITUTION.Region = 'WMG' then .01
when vAM_CRG_LOAN_OFFICER_NAME.LoanOfficerName ="Margaret S. Smith" then .875
END as 'Decimal'
from...
Now you missing detail on how your tables would join. It appears that your trying to compare data from three different tables (ACCOUNT_INFO, INSTITUTION, vAM_CRG_LOAN_OFFICER_NAME).
