I am trying put a case statement, this case statement is based on condition from 2 different sub queries. My problem is, I am not able get it work.



This SQL sub queries is giving a count which I am using in case statement.



Error I am getting is:




Incorrrect syntax near x and y.




(which are my subqueries)



Select 'Days=' as Days,
case
when x.yest >=0 then '1 Day'
when y.DayBefore <=3 then '1 Day'
else '2 Day'
end as Days
from
(
Select count(*) as yest
from
[Main], [DailyStatus]
where Approved_Date is null
Submitted_Date = cast(LAST_WEEKDAY_DATE as date) x,

(
Select count(*) as DayBefore
from [Main], [DailyStatus]
where Approved_Date is null
and Submitted_Date = dateadd(dd, -1, cast(LAST_WEEKDAY_DATE as date))
)y


Below are my tables:



Main
Approved_Date
Submitted_Date



DailyStatus
Last_Weekday_date



I highly appreciate any help on this.
Thanks, Shikha

    One thing is that you are missing the keyword AND in your WHERE Clause in the first subquery... as well as a rouge comma in the same area

Indent your sql properly and it will make these things easier to spot



Select 
'Days=' as Days,
case
when x.yest >=0 then '1 Day'
when y.DayBefore <=3 then '1 Day'
else '2 Day'
end as Days
from
(
Select
count(*) as yest
from
[Main]
CROSS JOIN
[DailyStatus]
where
Approved_Date is nulL AND
Submitted_Date = cast(LAST_WEEKDAY_DATE as date)
) x
CROSS JOIN
(
Select
count(*) as DayBefore
from
[Main]
CROSS JOIN
[DailyStatus]
where
Approved_Date is null and
Submitted_Date = dateadd(dd, -1, cast(LAST_WEEKDAY_DATE as date))
)y


Also, doing your joins like that (from table1, table2) fell out of favour about 20 years ago. Please use modern join syntax
