|    Nulls to 0 in Pivot    |

   From: tfs@dslextreme.com   
      
   I am using a pivot (dynamically) and am getting NULL results for some   
   values.   
      
   I want to change the NULLs to 0, but keep getting errors.   
      
   In the following: @strList contains the pivot columns.   
      
   This one works fine except for the nulls:   
      
   SET @sql = '   
   select * from #tfs   
   PIVOT   
   (   
    SUM(Number)   
    for retailer in('+@strList+')   
   ) as pvt   
   '   
      
   I tried:   
      
   SET @sql = '   
   select * from #tfs   
   PIVOT   
   (   
    SUM(Number)   
    for ISNULL(retailer,0) in('+@strList+')   
   ) as pvt   
   '   
   This gets me "incorrect syntax errors"   
      
   I also tried   
      
   SET @sql = '   
   select * from #tfs   
   PIVOT   
   (   
    ISNULL(SUM(Number),0)   
    retailer in('+@strList+')   
   ) as pvt   
   '   
   This one gets 'isnull' is not a recognized aggregate function.   
      
   Thanks,
