SQL QUERY using LEFT JOIN and CASE Statement

here is an example of my two table.

enter image description here

PROBLEM: How can I create SQL Query using left join?

HERE IS THE SCENARIO

As I've said earlier, I have two table (TABLE1 and TABLE2), I tried to use left join so that i can combine both UserID in one table

so here is the code

select * from table1 a left join table2 on a.userid = b.userid

so two tables are now combined.

what i need to do is this:
if the status is all complete then 'complete'
then if status contains complete and incomplete then 'incomplete'
else 'no status'

it should be look like this.

enter image description here

NOTE:
since UserID = 1 (table1) contains complete and incomplete status (table2)
then it display 'incomplete' (new column)

since UserID = 4 (table1) contains all complete status (table 2)
then it display 'completed' (new column)

-----------------------------------

WHAT IF I CHANGE THE STATUS TO INTEGER?

enter image description here

same procedure. thanks

SELECT  a.*, 
        CASE WHEN b.totalCount = 1 AND b.totalINC = 0 THEN 'Complete'
             WHEN totalCount IS NULL THEN ''
             ELSE 'Incomplete'
        END STatus
FROM    table1 a
        LEFT JOIN
        (
            SELECT  UserID, 
                    COUNT(DISTINCT STATUS) totalCount,
                    SUM(CASE WHEN status = 'Incomplete' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) totalINC
            FROM table2
            GROUP BY UserID
        ) b ON a.UserID = b.UserID

UPDATE 1

the only thing you'll change is the CASE

SELECT  a.*, 
        CASE WHEN b.totalCount = 1 AND b.totalINC = 0 THEN 'Complete'
             WHEN totalCount IS NULL THEN ''
             ELSE 'Incomplete'
        END STatus
FROM    table1 a
        LEFT JOIN
        (
            SELECT  UserID, 
                    COUNT(DISTINCT STATUS) totalCount,
                    SUM(CASE WHEN status <> 100 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) totalINC
            FROM table2
            GROUP BY UserID
        ) b ON a.UserID = b.UserID;

Easy, but tricky solution :

as INCOMPLETE is greater (for a db) than COMPLETE, you can simply do

SELECT a.UserID, 
  LOWER(COALESCE(MAX(b.status) , 'NO STATUS'))
  FROM table1 a 
 LEFT JOIN table2 b on a.userid = b.userid
 GROUP BY a.UserID

SqlFiddle (with Andomar's better solution as well)

select  a.UserID
,       case
        when sum(case when b.status = 'Incomplete' then 1 end) > 0 
            then 'Incomplete' 
        when sum(case when b.status = 'Complete' then 1 end) > 0 
            then 'Complete' 
        else 'No Status' 
        end
from    table1 a 
left join 
        table2 b
on      a.userid = b.userid
group by
        a.UserID
