    Hi,

    The BETWEEN comparison has the following syntax:

    xxx BETWEEN value1 AND value 2

    Write your CASE WHEN with this syntax and you should be getting there. If your presentation column is a real date, you should also compare it to dates and not strings.

    a) Your references to presentation columns are wrong. A correct fully qualified name is "Presentation Table"."Presentation Column".

    b) Date data types are dates. Not strings. Using single quotes denotes a string. '

    c) "A" isn't the string A - 'A' is the string A, see above. Single quotes and double quotes can't be utilized randomly. They have technical and programmatical meaning.
