Replacing Nulls

I have a query that has serveral Left Joins. Obviously when there are no
results in the right tables a value of NULL is returned. When creating an
MS Reporting Services report, the tables seem to ignore the NULL values
(because they aren't recognized as real values I assume). How do I alter my
query to replace a NULL value with an actually value, such as 999 so I can
count the "NULL" results?
I appreciate any help.
Thankstry ISNULL function
ISNULL(<fieldname>, 999) AS SomeThing

Have you tried the ISNULL([ColumnName], [NewValue]) function?

SELECT a, b, ISNULL(n, 999) AS n FROM table LEFT JOIN SELECT x, y, ISNULL(z,
999) FROM table2 ...

SELECT [ColumnName1], ISNULL([ColumnName2], [NewValue])
FROM [TableName]
