I have a subquery that grabs all the sales reps with less then 6 visits. Only problem is, when i have a date when there are any number of sales reps that dont make visits, so the column would be null, they dont show up. I want to display these, because this report is supposed to show the visits made, so if they made none, i want it to show zero, instead of not showing the whole date column, since zero visits were made on that date that were below 6 and more then zero. Here's my stored procedure: (the subquery is highlighted)

You'll need to do an outer join to your date dimension
|||is there a way i can just say, if SUM(visits) is null then 0
or something like that?
|||either this...
coalesce(sum(visits),0)
or this...
|||I guess technically this doesnt work because it doesnt change anything. I guess i just need to find a way to Display all dates that have visits, since all dates show up on my other report that displays all visits, no matter how many. Would i do another subquery to grab all dates where Visit is greater then zero?|||case
when sum(visits) is null then 0
else sum(visits)
end as 'SumVisits'
Replace "INNER JOIN" with "LEFT OUTER JOIN", try the following...
