Nto sure which RDBMS you are using, but if it is SQL Server you could look at rather using a CASE statement

Evaluates a list of conditions and returns one of multiple possible result expressions.

The CASE expression has two formats:

The simple CASE expression compares an expression to a set of simple expressions to determine the result.

The searched CASE expression evaluates a set of Boolean expressions to determine the result.

Both formats support an optional ELSE argument.
