IIF Function

I've been looking at the online help and it appears that
this statement should function as follows:
Select IIf(1 > 0 , 'Yes', 'No')
If 1 is greater than 0, Yes should be returned, if not
then No
Sql returns an error message: Incorrect syntax near '>'
Any Ideas?
ThanksYou must be looking at help for MS Access or Excel or something. There is
no such thing as IIF in SQL Server. Maybe try CASE:
SELECT CASE WHEN 1 > 0 THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END

However, you have to look at the title (or location) and realize it is for
Analysis Services only.
This is not a TSQL function, but rather an MDX function.
