Hi, Friends..

I am using stored procedure in which there is an optional parameter @equal and default value is NULL. If user give some value to the parameter SQL query has to be changed. I am trying to use Case in Where clause. but its showing some error.
Help me with proper syntax or with better logic

My requirement is When user doesn't give value for @equal then
FiscalYear<@yr
Else
FiscalYear<=@yr

SQL

Select BankCode,(SUM(Debit)-SUM(Credit)) Amt
	From vwDailyData 
	Where Pname=@ParishName and FiscalYear< (CASE WHEN @equal IS NULL THEN @yr ELSE '='+@yr END) 
	and BankCode<>'Cash'
	Group By BankCode

Error Message
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '=' to data type int.

You will need to work out the details, but syntax like this may work:

SQL

where case when @equal IS null then @yr else null end > FiscalYear
or case when @equal IS not null then @yr else null end = FiscalYear

You cannot but the operator as part of the case statement.

Where Pname=@ParishName
and (FiscalYear< (CASE WHEN @equal IS NULL THEN @yr END)
or FiscalYear<= (CASE WHEN @equal IS not NULL THEN @yr END))

SQL

SELECT
	BankCode,
	(SUM(Debit) - SUM(Credit)) Amt
FROM
	vwDailyData
WHERE
	Pname = @ParishName
	AND ((@equal IS NULL
			AND FiscalYear < @yr)
		OR (@equal IS NOT NULL
			AND FiscalYear <= @yr))
	AND BankCode <> 'Cash'
GROUP BY
	BankCode

You can also use the IF else condition e.g.

IF @equal IS null
Select BankCode,(SUM(Debit)-SUM(Credit)) Amt
	From vwDailyData 
	Where Pname=@ParishName and FiscalYear< @yr
	and BankCode<>'Cash'
	Group By BankCode
ELSE
Select BankCode,(SUM(Debit)-SUM(Credit)) Amt
	From vwDailyData 
	Where Pname=@ParishName and FiscalYear<=@yr
	and BankCode<>'Cash'
	Group By BankCode
