Subject: Re: SQL SUM(fieldname) - can I use CASE??
Definitely. Eric gave you the answer.
A Case expression can be used almost anywhere a value is needed. This
is extremely useful and if you want to explore it more, check out this

Can I sum a fieldname using the CASE stmt as follows:--
when the item-group = 'A', sum as is;
when the item-group = 'B', multiply by -1 and then sum?
How is this best accomplished?
