If it has to be done in one UPDATE
update mytable
 SET fieldx = NULL,
 	field1 = CASE WHEN @MyFlag = 'Y' THEN somevalue ELSE field1 END, 
 	field2 = CASE WHEN @MyFlag <> 'Y' THEN someothervalue ELSE field2 END
Otherwise
update mytable
 SET fieldx = NULL
update mytable field1 = somevalue
	WHERE @MyFlag = 'Y' 
update mytable field2 = someothervalue
	WHERE @MyFlag <> 'Y' 
>Hi all, is it possible to use a Case statement in a Where clause ?, what I am trying to do , is , update a table using either field1 = somevalue or field2 = someothervalue depending on a flag setting
