I am having trouble adding a percent sign to the output of the NVL()
function. If you look in the desired output picture you will see that the commission needs to have a % added to it. I’ve tried various things but have been unable to get it to output correctly. I have tried concatenating a percent sign but that messes up the No Commission
text. Any help would be appreciated!
Here is my code:
SELECT first_name, last_name, job_title, TO_CHAR(salary, '$99,999') AS salary, NVL(TO_CHAR(commission_pct*100), 'No Commission') AS commision FROM hr.employees e JOIN hr.jobs j ON e.job_id = j.job_id ORDER BY salary DESC

Answer
You can rather use NVL2()
function such as
NVL2(TO_CHAR(commission_pct*100), TO_CHAR(commission_pct*100)||'%','No Commission')
the second argument stands for not null
, and the third argument for null
cases.
