Combine multiple rows into one row to replace null values in columns

Question

How can I combine multiple rows into one row so that some of the columns in one row replace null values in the same columns in the other row it is being merged with? Here’s an example of what I have and what I’m trying to achieve. The query is:

SELECT  Drug. Name,
        DefaultVendor.Name,
        Drug.Strength,
        Catalog.DIN,
        Catalog.PackSize,
        “Vendor1 Price” = CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor1’ THEN Catalog.Price ELSE NULL END,
        “Vendor1 ItemNum” = CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor1’ THEN Catalog.ItemNum ELSE NULL END,
        “Vendor2 Price” = CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor2’ THEN Catalog.Price ELSE NULL END,
        “Vendor2 ItemNum” = CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor2’ THEN Catalog.ItemNum ELSE NULL END
FROM    Catalog INNER JOIN
        Drug ON Catalog.DIN = Drug.DIN INNER JOIN
        Vendor AS Ven ON Ven.ID = Catalog.VendorID LEFT JOIN
        Vendor AS DefaultVendor ON DefaultVendor.ID = Catalog.DefVendorID OR (DefaultVendor.ID IS NULL)
WHERE   Catalog.Description LIKE ‘Acetaminophen%’
GROUP BY    Ven.Name,
            Drug.Name,
            Drug.Strength,
            Catalog.DIN,
            Catalog.PackSize,
            Catalog.Price,
            Catalog.ItemNum
ORDER BY    Drug.Strength

The result this spits out looks like this:

|          Name | DefaultVendor | Strength | DIN | PackSize | Vendor1Price | Vendor1ItemNum | Vendor2Price | Vendor2ItemNum |
|---------------|---------------|----------|-----|----------|--------------|----------------|--------------|----------------|
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      100 |            5 |           1234 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      200 |            9 |           1235 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      100 |       (null) |         (null) |         5.25 |           1111 |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      200 |       (null) |         (null) |           10 |           1122 |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    500mg |   2 |      100 |            7 |           1236 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    500mg |   2 |      200 |           13 |           1237 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    500mg |   2 |      100 |       (null) |         (null) |          7.5 |           1133 |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    500mg |   2 |      200 |       (null) |         (null) |           14 |           1144 |

So I know the data is there. What I want to do is combine the rows with the same strength and packsize so that a single row will display the price and item number from both vendors. Below is the result I am looking for:

|          Name | DefaultVendor | Strength | DIN | PackSize | Vendor1Price | Vendor1ItemNum | Vendor2Price | Vendor2ItemNum |
|---------------|---------------|----------|-----|----------|--------------|----------------|--------------|----------------|
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      100 |            5 |           1234 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      200 |            9 |           1235 |       (null) |         (null) |
| Acetaminophen |       Vendor1 |    325mg |   1 |      100 |       (null) |         (null) |         5.25 |           1111 |

I think you almost got it right.

Just add MAX() to each field

“Vendor1 Price” = MAX(CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor1’ THEN Catalog.Price END),
“Vendor1 ItemNum” = MAX(CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor1’ THEN Catalog.ItemNum END),
“Vendor2 Price” = MAX(CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor2’ THEN Catalog.Price END),
“Vendor2 ItemNum” = MAX(CASE WHEN Ven.Name = ‘Vendor2’ THEN Catalog.ItemNum END)

Also not need include ELSE NULL by default if CASE doesnt found a match will return NULL
