I don't know if there's any other problem, but it looks like you don't understand how case expressions work. There are two forms, and you're confusing them. If you remove the first instance of 'units' in your query, it may work as you were expecting. The SQLite documentation <http://sqlite.org/lang_expr.html> gives the correct grammar but doesn't explain the semantics. You can probably find examples of the two variants in one of the several introductions to SQL on the web. Regards
