Case sql not working - sql

Question

I have a select statement I am trying to make for a report. I have it pulling data and everything I need but I noticed that since I have to use the group by it is dropping off rows that do not exist in a table. How can I stop this or make it work.
SELECT Sum(CASE WHEN direction = 'I' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) InBound,
Sum(CASE WHEN direction = 'O' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) OutBound,
Sum(CASE WHEN direction = 'I' THEN p.duration ELSE 0 END) InBoundTime,
Sum(CASE WHEN direction = 'O' THEN p.duration ELSE 0 END) OutBoundTime,
u.fullname,
( CASE
WHEN EXISTS (SELECT g.goalamount
FROM [tblbrokergoals] AS g
WHERE ( g.goaldate BETWEEN
'2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27' ))
THEN
g.goalamount
ELSE 0
END ) AS GoalAmount
FROM [tblphonelogs] AS p
LEFT JOIN [tblusers] AS u
ON u.fullname = p.phonename
LEFT OUTER JOIN [tblbrokergoals] AS g
ON u.fullname = g.brokername
WHERE ( calldatetime BETWEEN '2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27' )
AND ( u.userid IS NOT NULL )
AND ( u.direxclude <> '11' )
AND u.termdate IS NULL
AND ( g.goaldate BETWEEN '2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27' )
GROUP BY u.fullname,
g.goalamount;
This works and grabs all the data when the user is in BrokerGoals but, when the user is not in broker goals it just deletes that row on the returned result set. How can I get it so when the user doesnt not exist in the brokergoals table to set that value as 0 or -- so the row does not get deleted.

Answer 1

If you have a brokers table then you can use it for your left join
SELECT b.broker_id, ....
FROM brokers b
LEFT JOIN .... ALL YOUR OTHER TABLES
....
GROUP BY b.broker_id, ....
If your brokers has duplicate names then use
SELECT b.broker_id, ....
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT broker_id
FROM brokers) b
LEFT JOIN .... ALL YOUR OTHER TABLES
....
GROUP BY b.broker_id, ....

SELECT u.FullName,
SUM(CASE WHEN Direction = 'I' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS InBound,
SUM(CASE WHEN Direction = 'O' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) OutBound,
SUM(CASE WHEN Direction = 'I' THEN p.Duration ELSE 0 END) InBoundTime,
SUM(CASE WHEN Direction = 'O' THEN p.Duration ELSE 0 END) OutBoundTime,
CASE WHEN EXISTS (
SELECT g.GoalAmount
FROM [Portal].[dbo].[tblBrokerGoals] AS g
WHERE g.GoalDate BETWEEN '2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27'
AND u.FullName = g.BrokerName
) THEN (
SELECT g.GoalAmount
FROM [Portal].[dbo].[tblBrokerGoals] AS g
WHERE g.GoalDate BETWEEN '2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27'
AND u.FullName = g.BrokerName
) ELSE '0' END AS GoalAmount
FROM [Portal].[dbo].[tblUsers] AS u
LEFT JOIN [Portal].[dbo].[tblPhoneLogs] AS p
ON u.FullName = p.PhoneName
WHERE u.UserID IS NOT NULL
AND u.DirExclude <> '11'
AND u.TermDate IS NULL
AND p.CallDateTime BETWEEN '2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27'
GROUP BY u.FullName
This is what I ended up doing to fix my problem. I added the Case When Exists statement and in the then statement did the select else it is 0.

Have you tried replacing ( CASE
WHEN EXISTS (SELECT g.goalamount
FROM [tblbrokergoals] AS g
WHERE ( g.goaldate BETWEEN
'2016-03-21' AND '2016-03-27' ))
THEN
g.goalamount
ELSE 0
END ) AS GoalAmount
to just g.goalamount, as you already have that date condition in where clause
