Solution 1

The construct you are looking for is CASE (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs[^]

e.g.

SQL

SELECT CASE WHEN [Action] = 'Send' THEN 'Yes'
            WHEN [Action] = 'Resend' THEN 'Resend'
            ELSE 'No' END

[EDIT] SSRS can use IIF[^] which can be nested e.g.

VB

= IIF([Action] = "Send", "Yes", IIF([Action] = "Resend", "Resend", "No"))

This can be used in SQL query but in Report Builder of reporting services i need to have expression to use as per condition.

My apologies (again) - notifications have just been fixed. I've updated my solution with the SSRS function
