I was under the impression that

 

<cfquery name="qMyquery" datasource="#dsn#">

SELECT COALESCE(sum(mytable.Amount),0) AS myAmount

FROM etc,…

 

 

would return a numeric value of 0 if the query returned no records and therefore had nothing to sum.  So, that when I try something like:

 

<cfoutput>#DollarFormat(qMyquery.myAmount+qMyQuery2.ccAmount)#</cfoutput>

 

And it tries to add the two values together it wouldn’t give me the error of:

The value "" cannot be converted to a number

Is that not the case or am I doing something wrong in the way I have this written?  I basically have to sum the amount of some transactions and add them together with other sums and subtract out some other fees.  In one of the tables most users will not have transactions and therefore the query will be empty and therefore there will not have anything to add.  

 

Can anyone tell me what am I overlooking?
