Hello All,
i'm creating a "lead assessment machine" for my company built into SAP, and it basically consists of 6 drop down menu's with numeric values in then a description of what each numeric value means, so for instance:
We find a company called X and this is how we put them through out lead assessment:
Location Score: They are in our local delivery area - 20 points
Spend Score: They spend over 15k - 0 points
Credit Rating: 70+ - 10 points
Mix of Products: 5 products - 0 points
Industry - Manufacturing - 10 Points
How company buys - Goes out to tender - 5 points
that gives this lead 45/100 points
I can add this up within SQL because nothing was left blank, but if i did the following:
Location Score: They are in our local delivery area - 20 points
Spend Score: They spend over 15k - 0 points
Credit Rating: 70+ - 10 points
Mix of Products: (LEFT BLANK as we do not know)
Industry - Manufacturing - 10 Points
How company buys - Goes out to tender - 5 points
This will not add up, as there is a null value, it cannot add 45+null it just becomes blank. When I ask the query to treat the nulls as 0 or the '' as 0 that doesn't work either. But when I want to filter blanks out in my query and say where <> '' and it works fine?
Any ideas? Sorry if this has confused anyone!
