I have two tables reports and holidays.

reports: (username varchar(30),activity varchar(30),hours int(3),report_date date)

holidays: (holiday_name varchar(30), holiday_date date)

select * from reports gives

+----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
| username |  activity |  hours  |   date     |
+----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
| prasoon  |   testing |    3    | 2009-01-01 |
| prasoon  |   coding  |    4    | 2009-01-03 |
| gautam   |   coding  |    1    | 2009-01-05 |  
| prasoon  |   coding  |    4    | 2009-01-06 |
| prasoon  |   coding  |    4    | 2009-01-10 |
| gautam   |   coding  |    4    | 2009-01-10 |
+----------+-----------+---------+------------+

select * from holidays gives

+--------------+---------------+  
| holiday_name |  holiday_date |
+--------------+---------------+ 
| Diwali       |   2009-01-02  |
| Holi         |   2009-01-05  |  
+--------------+---------------+

When I used the following query

 SELECT dates.date AS date,
  CASE 
    WHEN holiday_name IS NULL THEN COALESCE(reports.activity, 'Absent') 
    WHEN holiday_name IS NOT NULL and reports.activity IS NOT NULL THEN  reports.activity
  ELSE ''
    END 
  AS activity,
  CASE WHEN holiday_name IS NULL THEN COALESCE(reports.hours, 'Absent')
    WHEN holiday_name IS NOT NULL and reports.hours IS NOT NULL THEN reports.hours
    ELSE ''
    END 
  AS hours,
  CASE 
    WHEN holiday_name IS NULL THEN COALESCE(holidays.holiday_name, '')
    ELSE holidays.holiday_name
    END 
  AS holiday_name
  FROM dates 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN reports ON dates.date = reports.date 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN holidays ON dates.date = holidays.holiday_date
  where reports.username='gautam' and dates.date>='2009-01-01' and dates.date<='2009-01-10';

I got the following output

   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
   |  date    |  activity |  hours  |   holiday  |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
   |2009-01-05|   coding  |    1    |   Holi     |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-10|   coding  |    4    |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+

but I expected this

   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
   |  date    |  activity |  hours  |   holiday  |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+  
   |2009-01-01|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-02|           |         | Diwali     |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-03|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-04|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-05|  Coding   |   1     | Holi       |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-06|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-07|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-08|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-09|  Absent   | Absent  |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+
   |2009-01-10|  Coding   |   4     |            |
   +----------+-----------+---------+------------+

How can I modify the above query to get the desired output(for a particular user (gautam in this case))?
