     case when(

                    select top 1 eventtime from events as endtimetable

  • It's not your case i think, it's that SWQL doesn't accept a query that doesn't pull from one of the built in tables, you can't do things like roll your own CTE's and whatnot.  It also doesn't really do wildcard type columns, you'd need to individually specify the name of the columns you want it to return instead of the select top 100 from ()
