I have the following:
set @SomeVariable = @AnotherVariable/isnull(@VariableEqualToZero,1) - 1
If @VariableEqualToZero is null it substitutes the 1. I need it to substitute 1 if @VariableEqualToZero = 0 as well. How do I do this?

SET @SomeVariable = @AnotherVariable / COALESCE(
CASE
WHEN @VariableEqualToZero = 0 THEN 1
ELSE @VariableEqualToZero
END, 1) - 1
If you're using SQL Server, you can probably use a nullif statement? (i.e. set the value to null if it's 0 then set it to 1 if it's null - should catch for both 0's and NULLs
SET @SomeVariable = @AnotherVariable/ISNULL(NULLIF(@VariableEqualToZero,0),1) - 1
set @SomeVariable = @AnotherVariable /
(case when isnull(@VariableEqualToZero, 0) = 0 then 1 else
@VariableEqualToZero end) - 1
You use CASE
instead of
ISNULL(@VariableEqualToZero,1)
use
CASE WHEN @VariableEqualToZero IS NULL OR @VariableEqualToZero = 0 THEN 1 ELSE @VariableEqualToZero END
COALESCE and ISNULL are essentially just shortcuts for a CASE statement. You can consult the help for the syntax of CASE.
