How can I use MDX functions in SQL Query Analyzer (Client Tool)



I'm very new to using MS-SQL stuffs and the IT dept here doesn't have any
DBMA to speak of. Thus, I'm a bit on my own - except for you helpful
people...

I just installed the Client Tools on my workstation and tried a simple query:

SELECT IIf(TBL.fld is NULL, "-N/A-", TBL.fld) FROM TBL;

and get the following error message:

Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'is'.


According to the help files, this should work, but clearly not. Is there
something(s) I need to enable, install, configure, tweek, activate, cajole,
or otherwise beg into acquiesence?

.
