QoQ division with zero

Hi All,

I have an issue with QoQ when the division is zero. I usually use nullif in oracle queries but it is not allow in QoQ.

How can I go around this issue?

Code example:

<cfquery name="qrySum" dbtype="query">

            select 'Item01' as DESCR

            <cfloop from="2011" to="2016" index="y">

                ,sum(FY_#y#)     as FY_#y#

                ,sum(COST_#y#) as COST_#y#

                ,sum(COST_#y#) / sum(FY_#y#) as PERC_#y#

            </cfloop>

            from qryItems

            group by DESCR

        </cfquery>

where for a year 2014 the sum(FY) = 0  and sum(COST)= 0

Thanks,

Johnny

Sometimes playing dumb is the way to go. How about this:

<cfquery name="FYsum" dbtype="query">

    sum(FY_2011) as FY_2011, sum(FY_2012) as FY_2012, sum(FY_2013) as FY_2013, sum(FY_2014) as FY_2014, sum(FY_2015) as FY_2015, sum(FY_2016) as FY_2016

    from qryItems

</cfquery>

<cfif FYsum.FY_2011 NEQ 0 AND FYsum.FY_2012 NEQ 0 AND FYsum.FY_2013 NEQ 0 AND FYsum.FY_2014 NEQ 0 AND FYsum.FY_2015 NEQ 0 AND FYsum.FY_2016 NEQ 0>

<!--- Note: It is efficient to use the FY sums already evaluated --->

<cfquery name

How about a CASE/WHEN statement?

            <cfloop from="2011" to="2016" index="y">

                ,sum(FY_#y#)    as FY_#y#

                ,sum(COST_#y#) as COST_#y#

              CASE WHEN sum(COST_#y#) = 0 THEN ,{something else}

                    WHEN sum(FY_#y#) = 0 THEN ,{another thing}

                    ELSE ,sum(COST_#y#) / sum(FY_#y#)

              END   as PERC_#y#

            </cfloop>

Or something similar?

HTH,

Thanks for your reply and help.

QoQ doesn't allow CASE also.

Does this NEED to be done via QoQ??  Is there no way to create a STORED PROCEDURE, for this?

V/r,
