T-SQL Case Statement in a JOIN ON Clause

Question

I am trying to build a case/if statement in a JOIN ON clause.

LEFT JOIN [CTSTRC] [Statuses] ON RIGHT([Statuses].[STRID], 3) = [CTE].[F61]
         


        

Answer 1

You're looking for the ISNUMERIC function (I believe it was introduced in SQL 2005):

LEFT JOIN [CTSTRC] [Statuses] ON 
    (CASE ISNUMERIC(RIGHT([Statuses].[STRID], 3)) WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE CAST(RIGHT([Statuses].[STRID], 3) AS INT) END) = [CTE].[F61]
