I'm using Access ADP as a front end to SQL. I have two tables:
I want to choose Price from the Price_2018 or the Price_2020 table, depending upon the Purchase_Date. I tried first putting IiF statement in the Query Designer:
Iif ([Purchase_Date] < Convert(DateTime, '2020-01-01 00:00:00'),[Price_2018],[Price_2020])
Access didn't allow that and ended up putting the whole thing in quotes in the SQL pane, so all I got was text output.
Someone suggested putting in the Select section:
CASE ([Purchase_Date] < CONVERT(DATETIME, '2020-01-01 00:00:00') WHEN 1 THEN [Price_2018] ELSE [Price_2020]
That didn't work either and gave me this error:
Error in list of function arguments: '<' not recognized.Error in list of function arguments: ',' not recognized.Error in list of function arguments: 'FROM' not recognized.
Unable to parse query text.
CASE
statement in Access or SQL.I combined 2 Price tables (combined table called VWC_2018_2020) as suggested. Full query:

What now? Thanks
Since ADP files use an SQL Server backend (no longer supported as of MS Access 2013), you must use its TSQL dialect which does support IIF
(or CASE
) and can compare dates with string representations without conversion.
Below I extend to fuller query assuming various columns. Adjust as needed:
SELECT
...
IIF(t.[Purchase_Date] < '2020-01-01', p18.price, p20.price)
...
FROM [Transactions] t
INNER JOIN [Price_2018] p18
ON t.price_id = p18.price_id
INNER JOIN [Price_2020] p20
ON t.price_id = p20.price_id
