sql - msg 175, The isnull function requires 2 arguments(s) -
after looking @ similar issues i'm no wiser. have value returning has 2 sets of numbers name i.e. (xxxx;xxxx;name). i'm trying return name. original code i've written (below) works if name value/name present.
select substring(field_value,75, len (field_value)) [rwadmin].[rv_activity_fields] p join [rwadmin].[rw_association] on p.activity_id = a.activitya_id
however breaks report if value blank returns "null",
so i've thought work, above error.
select isnull(substring(field_value,75, len (field_value))) [rwadmin].[rv_activity_fields] p join [rwadmin].[rw_association] on p.activity_id = a.activitya_id
help please.
isnull
takes expression , value replace null
values. check expression value, if null
returns value provided nulls , if not returns expression value, if want return blank when null should use way:
isnull(substring(field_value,75, len (field_value)), '')
