​If you include something like the following people are going to be more
willing to provide help and better able to provide good help.
WITH dt (funding_date, actual_date) AS (
VALUES (null, null), ('X', 'X'),
(null, ''), (null, 'X'),
('', null), ('X', null)
)
SELECT funding_date, actual_date,
CASE WHEN funding_date IS NULL
AND actual_date IS NULL
THEN 'Both Null'
ELSE 'write more WHEN statements...'
END
FROM dt
​;
That's a self-contained example and it does wonders for problem solving.
