Smartlist Builder Calculated Fields, CASE Query Help Please!

Posted on by 10

I am trying to change the output of a smartlist to match what a vendor requires, so instead of receiving Married, it needs to be '2', and male needs to be '1' etc. I figured this to be an easy project, but I seem to "break" the smartlist every time I write a case function to do this. here is an example:

CASE WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'SINGLE' THEN '1'
WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'MARRIED' THEN '2'
ELSE '1' END

or 

CASE WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'single' then '1'

--WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'married' THEN '2'

ELSE '2'

END

I set the field name and the field type is string 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    [quote user="karlcgray"]CASE WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'SINGLE' THEN '1'
    WHEN {Payroll Master:MARITAL STATUS} = 'MARRIED' THEN '2'
    ELSE '1' END[/quote]

    The solution is that because 'single' is from a drop down box instead of 'single', we just need to put 1 for this to work properly
