SELECT IFNULL(f_tag_bottom,
IFNULL(f_tag_bottom_major_axis,
IFNULL(f_tag_bottom_minor_axis,
IFNULL(f_tag_ch_x_bottom,
IFNULL(f_tag_ch_y_bottom, NULL))))) as ftag,
STDDEV(ch_x_top)
....
Of course, this isn't your real problem, but you could use COALESCE
instead of all those IFNULLs (and you don't need the last one):
SELECT COALESCE(f_tag_bottom, f_tag_bottom_major_axis,
f_tag_bottom_minor_axis, f_tag_ch_x_bottom, f_tag_ch_y_bottom) as ftag,
STDDEV(ch_x_top)
....
As Johnny Withers points out, you may repeat the expression in the
WHERE-clause:
WHERE COALESCE(f_tag_bottom, f_tag_bottom_major_axis,
f_tag_bottom_minor_axis, f_tag_ch_x_bottom, f_tag_ch_y_bottom) = 'E-CD7'
If really only one of those is not NULL, it is equivalent to this:
'E-CD7' IN (f_tag_bottom, f_tag_bottom_major_axis,
f_tag_bottom_minor_axis, f_tag_ch_x_bottom, f_tag_ch_y_bottom)
