For some reason I was not able to use my scalar function until I referenced it using brackets  like so   select  dbo   fun functional score   01091400003

For Scalar Function Syntax is  Select dbo Function Name parameter name   Select dbo Department Employee Count  HR

User · Answer

Your syntax is for table valued function which return a resultset and can be queried like a table  For scalar function do    select  dbo fun functional score  01091400003   as  er

User · Answer

You have a scalar valued function as opposed to a table valued function  The from clause is used for tables  Just query the value directly in the column list   select dbo fun functional score  01091400003
