| Hi,Can someone tell me why the code below keeps giving me the error;'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 241'.All I'm trying to accomplish is add (1) day to 'This Month Due Date'. The 'Status' Column indicates 'Late' when the two dates are the same. It should indicate 'On Time'. Thanks,CASE WHEN 'This Month Receipt Date' <= 'This Month Due Date' THEN DATEADD(DAY, 1, 'On Time') ELSE 'Late' END AS Status |

| 1. the first condition in your CASE statement is never true, since you are comparing strings.2. DATEADD requires a datetime column or variable as the third parameter, but you have a string. |
