use column alias in other calculation in sql server 2005

Question

I am working with the following query.I want to use Date_Sent_to_Recorder in my other calculations which follows.I am getting an error "Invalid column name 'Date_Sent_to_Recorder'." People recommended using a CTE for this but i am not able to fit it in this scenerio.I have a correlated subquery which calculates Date_Sent_to_Recorder.Please help.

Answer 1

You cannot refer to a computed column in other columns of a SELECT. The simplest solution for what you are trying to achieve is to pre-calculate Date_Sent_to_Recorder and store it in a temporary table, then join to that table when doing your main query.

Protip: use proper formatting and table aliases; SQL like you posted is difficult to read, and almost impossible to understand.

Edit: something like this:

create table #temp
           ( Primary_Document_ID   int,
             Date_Sent_To_Recorder datetime )

insert #temp
select Primary_Document_ID,
       CASE
         WHEN dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT.Status_ID = 21
           THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT.Updated_Dt, 101)
         ELSE
           (SELECT TOP 1
                   CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Created_Dt, 101)
              FROM dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY
             WHERE dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Secondary_Document_ID = SecONdary_Document.Secondary_Document_Id
               AND SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Status_ID = 21
             ORDER BY dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Created_Dt DESC)
       END
  from SecONdary_Document

-- main select, joining to #temp

Since your schema is sort of unclear, here is a brief sample for the derived table syntax and referencing values from the derived table

Declare @Sample table(id1 int, id2 int, value varchar(20))

insert into @sample values (1,1, 'this')
insert into @sample values(2,2, 'that')
insert into @sample values(3,2, 'the other')

Select t1.ID1, t1.Value, t2.RevVal, 
case 
when t2.RevVal = 'siht' then 1 else 0
end as RevIsThisBackwards
from @sample t1
inner join (Select id1, reverse(value) as RevVal from @sample) t2
on t1.ID1 = t2.ID1

Results

  id    VALUES  Rev     Rev Value is this backwards
    1   this siht 1
    2   that taht 0
    3   the other rehto eht 0

So you'll want to move the calculated column, and sufficient columns to join to into a derived table, in your case it would it would look similar to the below

    INNER JOIN Loan ON Loan.Loan_Id = Primary_Document.Loan_Id
    INNER JOIN (Select SomPKField, CASE WHEN dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT.Status_ID = 21
        THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT.Updated_Dt, 101)
        ELSE ( SELECT TOP 1
        CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Created_Dt, 101)
         FROM    dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY
    WHERE   
dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Secondary_Document_ID = SecONdary_Document.Secondary_Document_Id
           AND SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Status_ID = 21
         ORDER BY dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY.Created_Dt DESC
          )
        END as Date_Sent_to_Recorder
    ) as Sub1
    on SomeTable.SomePKField = Sub1.SomePKField

Because Date_Sent_to_Recorder depends only on SECONDARY_DOCUMENT & SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY tables, you can replace SECONDARY_DOCUMENT in the INNER JOIN by the following (which gives you Date_Sent_to_Recorder as a column):

SELECT SD.Primary_Document_ID,
                   SD.Secondary_Document_Id,
                   CASE WHEN SD.Status_ID = 21
                        THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), SD.Updated_Dt, 101)
                        ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), SDSH.Created_Dt, 101)
                   END Date_Sent_to_Recorder
              FROM SECONDARY_DOCUMENT SD
        INNER JOIN dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY SDSH 
                ON SDSH.Secondary_Document_ID = SD.Secondary_Document_Id
               AND SDSH.Status_ID = 21
        INNER JOIN (SELECT Secondary_Document_ID, max(Created_Dt) Created_Dt
                      FROM dbo.SECONDARY_DOCUMENT_STATUS_HISTORY
                     WHERE Status_ID = 21 
                  GROUP BY Secondary_Document_ID) SDSH2 
                ON SDSH.Secondary_Document_ID = SDSH2.Secondary_Document_Id 
               AND SDSH.Created_Dt = SDSH2.Created_Dt

and finally you have:

SELECT C.Name Client,
       SecONdary_Document.Primary_Document_ID,
       SecONdary_Document.Secondary_Document_Id,
       Primary_Document.State + ',' + GB_Counties.CountyName State,

       Loan_Number,

       Satis_TimeFrame,
       CASE WHEN PIF_Date IS NULL 
                 OR SecONdary_Document.Date_Sent_to_Recorder IS NULL
