Access IIF to SQL Statement convert

Question

I have access query and I am converting it to SQL Server 2008R2. I'm looking for the equivalent to the Access IIF statement in SQL Server.

Below is the statement I am trying to convert;

("select IIF(MAX(bill_bno) IS NULL,1,MAX(bill_bno)+1) from rec_all where rw=0 and iif(month(bill_date)>=1 AND month(bill_date)<=3,year(bill_date)-1,year(bill_date))=" & IIf(Month(Date) >= 1 And Month(Date) <= 3, Year(Date) - 1, Year(Date)))

You can use CASE statement. For example: (select case when MAX(bill_bno) IS NULL then 1 else MAX(bill_bno) + 1 end from rec_all where rw=0 and case when month(bill_date)>=1 AND month(bill_date) = 1 And Month(Date) Please be generally aware that for checking null you can also use ISNULL function as in select isnull(MAX(bill_bno) + 1 1) from rec_all

I put your statement in my local environment and can confirm that there is no syntax error. See attached...

It only means you do not have a table named rec_all. Are you confused between database name and a table name?

Exactly I told you that it will work ONLY in SQL Server 2012. You will notice that you are using SQL Server 2008 R2. In 2008 R2 you will have to use CASE only.

Not sure why I don't see the error when I paste the query. Are you 100% sure you are using SQL Server 2012? Can you just give the following command and check? select @@version
