T-SQL IF statement embedded in a sum() function - sql-server

I'm attempting to convert a MySQL query to a T-SQL query and the IF statement that's enclosed within a SUM statement is tripping me up. Any suggestions?
SELECT
CMTS_RQ.[Dated],
CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name,
Count(CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name) AS emat_count,
Sum(if(CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr>=37 and CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr<=49)) AS us_pwr_good
FROM
CMTS_RQ
GROUP BY
CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name,
CMTS_RQ.[Dated]
But I get an error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'if'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

T-SQL doesn't have a "inline" IF statement - use a CASE instead:
SELECT
CMTS_RQ.[Dated],
CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name,
Count(CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name) AS emat_count,
Sum(CASE
WHEN CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr >=37 AND CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr <= 49
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) AS us_pwr_good
FROM
CMTS_RQ
GROUP BY
CMTS_RQ.CMTS_Name,
CMTS_RQ.[Dated]
So if the value of CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr is >= 37 AND <= 49 then add 1 to the SUM - otherwise 0. Does that give you what you're looking for?
In SQL Server 2012 and newer, you can use the new IIF function:
SUM(IIF(CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr >= 37 AND CMTS_RQ.US_Pwr <= 49, 1, 0)) AS us_pwr_good

Msg 4145, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'AND'

I need this query without using Group by:
SELECT
SUM(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.Qty)
FROM
MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails a
WHERE
(ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.UOMQTY, 0) - ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.Qty, 0))
AND (a.VoucherId=374956)
Every statement you put in the WHERE clause needs to result in a true or false. You have an arithmetic expression that yields a number, but not a true/false, what is known as a boolean. This numeric result is not automatically converted to a boolean (as in some other programming languages).
WHERE (ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.UOMQTY, 0) - ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.Qty, 0))
You need to change this to, for instance:
WHERE (ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.UOMQTY, 0) - ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.Qty, 0)) <> 0
add condition like > , < or = where you are calculating UOMQTY-Qty
where (ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.UOMQTY, 0) - ISNULL(a.MstSalesCounterVoucherDetails.Qty, 0))>0 AND (a.VoucherId=374956)

How make case when in WHERE clause for MS SQL

I use a case when it works perfectly fine on MySQL but not MS SQL please help.
It seems the equal is not accepted -- if not what then will work
SELECT A FROM TABLE A
WHERE
CASE WHEN COUNT = 2 THEN GOAL = 2 ELSE GOAL = 3 END
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword
'CASE'.
You need to change your query to WHERE columnName = value.
The following query is what you are expecting:
SELECT A.*
FROM TABLE A
WHERE GOAL = CASE WHEN COUNT = 2 THEN 2 ELSE 3 END

Need help in converting trigger to T-SQL

Arithmetic overflow error for select 2678400*1393 in SQL

select 2678400 * 1393
When I run this query, I'm getting this error in SQL Server:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 23
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Since this result overflows the capacity of INT - use BIGINT instead:
SELECT CAST(2678400 AS BIGINT) * 1393

Nonsense Error in SQL Server Management Studio

I have this query that spawns the following error:
SELECT * FROM Quota
WHERE LEFT(QtLabel, LEN(QtLabel)-2) IN (
'1032',
'3300',
'9682'
)
Msg 536, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.
Am I doing something wrong? It tends to show up when I use the LEN() function. Might it be a datatype issue?
Is it possible that LEN(QtLabel) <= 2 ?
Are you sure that each QtLabel field is longer than 2 characters?
LEFT probably uses SUBSTRING internally. What happens if the length of QtLabel is <= 2?
It's because some QtLabel values don't contain > 2 characters, so you end up trying to do a LEFT() with a negative value as the number to restrict to.
In your scenario, you're assuming all QtLabel values are 6 characters, so uou should do:
SELECT * FROM Quota
WHERE LEN(QtLabel) = 6
AND LEFT(QtLabel, LEN(QtLabel)-2) IN (
'1032',
'3300',
'9682'
)
SELECT LEFT('MyText', -2)
will throw the same error
