What is the correct CASE SELECT Statement in Access 2010? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this

yourColumnName=case when is_enable=1 then 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END

Answer 2

Choose is another Access (really VBA) function available in queries, similar to Switch but returns an index to a list of answers. For instance, Choose([Choice], "A","B","C") would return "B" if Choice was 2. I've found it useful in the past.

Answer 3

Figured it out:
Access 2010 does not have the CASE function, we use SWITCH instead.

SELECT user_id, username, first_name, middle_name, last_name, SWITCH(is_enable=True,'Yes',is_enable=False,'No') FROM tbl_user_accounts ORDER BY user_id

Thanks to chuff and JW.

Answer 4

Alternatively, you can use IIF

IIF(is_enable = 1 , 'YES', 'NO')

Answer 5

This is really a display issue, and would possibly be best done somewhere other than SQL. is_enabled is clearly a Boolean/YesNo data type, so you can just format it:

 SELECT Format(AYesNo,'Yes/No') As ATextYN FROM table1

Or

 Format(AYesNo,'True/False')
 Format(AYesNo,'On/Off')

All work in VB.Net and return text, not boolean.
