## sum the numerator or sum the numerator and divide by the sum of the denominator

Dear, I have a problem and I am not able to solve it.

I have a table and need, depending on the case, to sum the numerator or sum the numerator and divide by the sum of the denominator, based on the result of a case and on the fields that are part of select who influence group by clause.

Just to exemplify, here's what I need to do:

```SELECT
CASE WHEN
COD = 1212 OR
COD = 1213 OR
.
.
.

THEN
sum (numerator)
ELSE
sum (numerator) / sum (denominator)
END ```

Returning all values in the same field.

Thanks for considering my request.

## Re: sum the numerator or sum the numerator and divide by the sum of the denominator

It's not clear what you are asking. On the surface, the CASE expression seems valid.

Perhaps the real intent is to calculate SUM(CASE WHEN .... THEN numerator ELSE numerator/denominator END) ?

If denominator can be zero, use NULLIFZERO to avoid divide by zero error.
