Question If else?
I have a table with two count fields. One count is the estimated count and the other is the actual count that is populated later after certain processes run. I want to create a query that totals the actual count but if actual count is 0 I want to use the number in the estimated count field. Any help is appreciated.

I got it. I used a case statement.

You can also use "COALESCE(NULLIF(actual, 0), estimated)".
