How to remove nulls from result

Question

Hello Community,

Can someone take tweak my query to remove the NULLs. I appreciate there are multiple ways to achieve this result without using case statements, but I would just like to know if its possible to just tweak the query to remove NULLs.

The data is as follows:

CREATE TABLE employee (  
    id int,  
    first_name varchar(50),  
    last_name varchar(50),  
    age int,  
    sex varchar(50),  
    employee_title varchar(50),  
    department varchar(50),  
    salary int,  
    target int,  
    bonus int,  
    email varchar(50),  
    city varchar(50),  
    address varchar(50),  
    manager_id int)  
  
INSERT employee VALUES

SELECT * FROM employee  
  
DROP TABLE employee

My code is as follows:

SELECT  
  Sub_cities.*

        SubQuery.city = 'Arizona' THEN employee.first_name

   ,CASE

        SubQuery.city = 'California' THEN employee.first_name  
    END AS california  
   ,CASE  
      WHEN employee.first_name = SubQuery.first_name AND  
        SubQuery.city = 'Hawaii' THEN employee.first_name  
    END AS hawaii  
  FROM (SELECT  
           employee.id  
          ,employee.first_name  
          ,employee.last_name  
          ,employee.age  
          ,employee.sex  
          ,employee.employee_title  
          ,employee.department  
          ,employee.salary  
          ,employee.target  
          ,employee.bonus  
          ,employee.email  
          ,employee.city  
          ,employee.address

Hi @Carlton Patterson ,

Please refer below query and check whether it is helpful to you.

 select [Arizona], [California], [Hawaii]  
 from  (  
 select ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY city ORDER BY id) rn   
 ,first_name,city  
  from employee  
 where city in ('Arizona', 'California', 'Hawaii')) s  
 pivot   
 (  
 max(first_name)   
 for city in ([Arizona], [California], [Hawaii]))p

Output:

Arizona	California	Hawaii  
Molly	Allen	Jack  
Nicky	Joe	Ben  
Shandler	Henry	Tom  
Katty	Sam	Morgan  
Jason	Max	Antoney

Best regards
Melissa
