Select Query with Case Condition and Sum()

Select Query with Case Condition and Sum()

I'm currently using these sql statements. My table has the field CPaymentType which contains "Cash" or "Check". I can sum up the amount of payments by executing 2 SQL statements as shown below. In this case, the user won't even notice the speed difference when executing 2 sql statements or just 1, however, I don't like my way, I just want 1 sql statement. How do I reconstruct these into 1 statement with CASE conditions? I can't figure it out since examples online result in either 1 or 0 or boolean. I don't want the postdated Check payments to be included. Thank you very much.

Select SUM(CAmount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where CPaymentType='Cash' and CStatus='Active';

Select SUM(CAmount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where CPaymentType='Check' and CDate<=SYSDATETIME() and CStatus='Active';

Select SUM(CASE When CPayment='Cash' Then CAmount Else 0 End ) as CashPaymentAmount,
       SUM(CASE When CPayment='Check' Then CAmount Else 0 End ) as CheckPaymentAmount
from TableOrderPayment
Where ( CPayment='Cash' Or CPayment='Check' ) AND CDate<=SYSDATETIME() and CStatus='Active';

To get each sum in a separate column:

Select SUM(IF(CPaymentType='Check', CAmount, 0)) as PaymentAmountCheck,
       SUM(IF(CPaymentType='Cash', CAmount, 0)) as PaymentAmountCash
from TableOrderPayment
where CPaymentType IN ('Check','Cash') 
and CDate<=SYSDATETIME() 
and CStatus='Active';
select CPaymentType, sum(CAmount)
from TableOrderPayment
where (CPaymentType = 'Cash' and CStatus = 'Active')
or (CPaymentType = 'Check' and CDate <= bsysdatetime() abd CStatus = 'Active')
group by CPaymentType

Use an "Or"

Select SUM(CAmount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where (CPaymentType='Check' Or CPaymentType='Cash')
   and CDate <= case CPaymentType When 'Check' Then SYSDATETIME() else CDate End
   and CStatus='" & "Active" & "'"

or an "IN"

Select SUM(CAmount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where CPaymentType IN ('Check', 'Cash')
   and CDate <= case CPaymentType When 'Check' Then SYSDATETIME() else CDate End
   and CStatus='" & "Active" & "'"

I don't think you need a case statement. You just need to update your where clause and make sure you have correct parentheses to group the clauses.

SELECT Sum(CAMount) as PaymentAmount 
from TableOrderPayment 
where (CStatus = 'Active' AND CPaymentType = 'Cash') 
OR (CStatus = 'Active' and CPaymentType = 'Check' and CDate<=SYSDATETIME())

The answers posted before mine assume that CDate<=SYSDATETIME() is also appropriate for Cash payment type as well. I think I split mine out so it only looks for that clause for check payments.
