UNION

How can I cast the above to Int?

using the above dataset to make a parameter

error message = Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Department' to data type int

Answer 1

case when... 1 else 0

Here the type of the column is int , it's defined by the value 0 which is int

When you do

 UNION Select '0' , 'Department Flag' 

your 'Department Flag' need to be converted to int .

To fix this issue your column should have varchar type, so your code should look like this:

case when... 1 else '0' -- here 0 is not int but varchar
