Easiest way to eliminate NULLs in SELECT DISTINCT?

Question

I am working on a query that is fairly similar the following:

CREATE TABLE #test (a char(1), b char(1))

INSERT INTO #test(a,b) VALUES 
(\'A\',NULL),
(\'A\',         


        

Answer 1

I'll just put here a mix of two answers that solved my issue, because my View was more complex

    --IdCompe int,
    --Nome varchar(30),
    --IdVanBanco int,
    --IdVan int
    --FlagAtivo bit,
    --FlagPrincipal bit

    select IdCompe
           , Nome
           , max(IdVanBanco)
           , max(IdVan)
           , CAST(MAX(CAST(FlagAtivo as INT)) AS BIT) FlagAtivo
           , CAST(MAX(CAST(FlagPrincipal as INT)) AS BIT) FlagPrincipal
    from VwVanBanco
           where IdVan = {IdVan} or IdVan is null
           group by IdCompe, Nome order by IdCompe asc
