Hi I need to write a Case statement in saying
if the difference between two fields ends up being a positive number then place in the code and the number the field.
Then I will have another field to give me if the difference ends up being a negative number.
I have no idea how to start this case statement.
Please help. Thanks
 
Is this what you are looking for?

select
case when id1 > id2 then id1-id2 else null end as positive,
case when id2 > id1 then id2-id1 else null end as negative
from tbname

Why dont you give some sample and required result?
 
I figured it out thanks
I did:
'P/R Code'=(Case When TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 > 0 Then TC.PayrollID else null end),
'(+) Hours'=(Case When TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 > 0 Then TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 else null end),
'P/R Code'=(Case When TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 < 0 Then TC.PayrollID else null end),
'(-) Hours'=(Case When TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 < 0 Then TC.dblHoursW1_PR-TC.dblHoursW1 else null end)
Cool same theory
Thank you
