Adding a list of numbers to a query with CASE WHEN












1















Is it possible to add a list of numbers to this query below:



DECLARE @MONTHS NVARCHAR(10)
DECLARE @YEAR NVARCHAR(10)

BEGIN
SET @MONTHS = 'Q1'
SET @YEAR = '2017'

SELECT *
FROM netlication.dbo.iehResults
WHERE DATEPART(yyyy,COLLDATE) = CAST(@YEAR AS INT)
AND DATEPART(mm,collDate) IN (CASE @MONTHS WHEN 'Q1' THEN '1' End)
END


The query above works fine, but for the value Q1 I want to be able to pass a list of numbers 1,2 and 3



So I tried doing:



AND DATEPART(mm, collDate) IN (CASE @MONTHS WHEN 'Q1' THEN '1,2,3' End)


But I get a conversion error:




Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 9

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '1,2,3' to data type int.

    Aside: Your case expression is return a string ('1') rather than an int (1) while DatePart returns an int. The mismatch in datatypes is resolved according to the rules for data type precedence. The best practice is to use the appropriate datatype.

Instead of DATEPART(mm,collDate) you can use DATEPART(q,collDate) which will return the quarter and you won't need to compare with 3 values. But to compare, you must use between and 2 case statements.



DECLARE @MONTHS NVARCHAR(10)
DECLARE @YEAR NVARCHAR(10)
BEGIN
SET @MONTHS = 'Q1'
set @YEAR = '2017'
SELECT * FROM netlication.dbo.iehResults
WHERE DATEPART(yyyy,COLLDATE) = CAST(@YEAR AS INT)
AND DATEPART(q,collDate) = (CASE @MONTHS WHEN 'Q1' THEN 1 WHEN 'Q2' THEN 2 WHEN 'Q3' THEN 3 WHEN 'Q4' THEN 4 End)
END


However, performance wise it will be better to calculate the start and end dates of the quarter and then to filter by COLLDATE between them:



set @StartDate = DATEFROMPARTS(@YAR, CASE @MONTHS
WHEN 'Q1' THEN 1
WHEN 'Q2' THEN 4
WHEN 'Q3' THEN 7
WHEN 'Q4' THEN 10 End, 1)
set @EndDate = DATEADD(q, 1, @StartDate)
SELECT * FROM netlication.dbo.iehResults
WHERE COLLDATE >= @StartDate and COLLDATE < @EndDate
