How can i get the values even when the Source or url is null from the below query

SELECT a.id,
isnull((SELECT STUFF((SELECT
'<li><a href="'+url+'">'+Source_Name+'</a>
<span class="small">(' + k.Source +')</span></li>' end
FROM table1 i, table2 k, table3 j where
i.CategoryID = j.Category_ID and i.CategoryID = c.Category_ID and i.Source = k.ID
FOR XML PATH('')),1, 0, '')), '') AS Source_url,
FROM @table4 c INNER JOIN table5 v

Can you pls provide more detail.

If you are getting null values from the table you should be able to handle them with isnull function.

Hi

isnull function is not handling the problem when Source_Name or Source or url is null maybe because it creates an xml form.

I am looking to get all the values inside the below query when url or source is null
((SELECT STUFF((SELECT
'<li><a href="'+url+'">'+Source_Name+'</a>
<span class="small">(' + k.Source +')</span></li>' end
FROM table1 i, table2 k, table3 j where
i.CategoryID = j.Category_ID and i.CategoryID = c.Category_ID and i.Source = k.ID
FOR XML PATH('')),1, 0, '')), '') AS Source_url
Any Suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks
Manju
