I'm almost certain you cannot do this within the context of the case statement, and I haven't been able to find any documentation about it, but is it possible to do the following:
SELECT CASE WHEN testValue > 2
THEN testValue(Without Repeating it) ELSE FailValue)
END
FROM Table
A better more thorough example:
Select CASE WHEN (Foo-stuff+bar) > 2
THEN Conditional statement without >2 Else "Fail"
END
FROM TABLE
I am looking for a way to create a select without repeating the conditional query.
EDIT: Due to a poor example on my part, and the lack of answers I was looking for:
testValue = (Table.A / Table.B) * Table.C Table.D
SELECT CASE WHEN testValue > 2
THEN testValue ELSE FailValue)
END
FROM Table

The SQL CASE ExpressionThe CASE expression goes through conditions and returns a value when the first condition is met (like an if-then-else statement). So, once a condition is true, it will stop reading and return the result. If no conditions are true, it returns the value in the ELSE clause.
CASE can be used in any statement or clause that allows a valid expression. For example, you can use CASE in statements such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE and SET, and in clauses such as select_list, IN, WHERE, ORDER BY, and HAVING.
SQL Server CASE statement syntax The CASE statement has to be included inside the SELECT Statement. It starts with the CASE keyword followed by the WHEN keyword and then the CONDITION. The condition can be any valid SQL Server expression which returns a boolean value.
Like so
DECLARE @t INT=1
SELECT CASE
WHEN @t>0 THEN
CASE
WHEN @t=1 THEN 'one'
ELSE 'not one'
END
ELSE 'less than one'
END
EDIT: After looking more at the question, I think the best option is to create a function that calculates the value. That way, if you end up having multiple places where the calculation needs done, you only have one point to maintain the logic.
