Calculations On Fields Containing Non-Numerical Data?
Feb 29, 2012
I am developing a database of soccer transfers. The transfer fee field contains numerical values but also 'u/d' to signify a transfer in which the fee has not been disclosed and 'loan' to signify a loan move. Is it possible to perform calculations on fields containing non numerical data? e.g. could I run a query that replaced u/d and loan with 0 for the purposes of performing calculations or should I remove all non numerical values from the fee field?
I am preparing the data prior to importing it into SQL but you can view the data structure here :

I've got a report built and I'm trying to figure out how sorting and grouping works. I can group the report by Patient, Albumin and it groups as I would expect.
Patient Date Albumin
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
However, when I try to group by Albumin, Patient, it just sorts by Albumin.
Patient Date Albumin
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
What I'm looking for is this:
Patient Date Albumin
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
Is this something that can be done with grouping and sorting?
Thanks,
Chad

I am VERY new to SQL and I do not know if I am word this question correctly, so forgive me.
I would like to create a new table that does calculations on some of the same fields.

I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sirisha

Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like:
UPDATE "TABLENAME"
SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2
WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.

Hi!
Need help with this one:
I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.
378 9/05
388 9/05
4/05
1/06 606
1/06 646
76 5/05
100 1/05
118 8/05
129 8/05
9/05 342
05/3 123
1/07
4/06 164
The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example:
Value Date
378 09/2005
388 09/2005
0 04/2005
...
606 01/2006
and so on...
In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.
I will appreciate any good ideas,
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

Hi,
Whenever I insert a record into my table it adds trailing white spaces up to the amount of char's that the field is set to allow. Obviously I don't want it to do this.
Among other problems then when I get the data back out it has a ton of white spaces, which normally wouldn't be a problem. i could just use the .Trim() function, but for some reason when I bind the data to a drop down list and use the .Trim() function it doesn't trim the white spaces.
Anyways any ideas on how to make it so the white spaces don't get put in in the first place?? Or any other thoughts on this?? Thanks!

But if no. of records goes beyond 10K it goes too slow or even user machine hangs up. I want to give proper export facility. Can it be given using DTS?

Hi
I'm using an SQL server database to run a website with ASP.
A new page I'm making will only display the contents on fields containing numeric data and it won't display text.
Other pages work fine. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening - I've never seen in before.

I'm designing an app for stock keeping. In my DB, I have a field called "ItemSerialNo" and I made it unique(but not the table's primary key). On my front end, I have a text box for Item Serial No and a combo box loaded with the item brands and also a save button. I know that if I try to save a serial no already existing in my DB, the app won't allow me because of the unique property of the field named "ItemSerialNo". But I want to be able to save a serial no already existing in my DB but with a different brand name.
For example, I want to be able to save information like:
1. ITEM SERIAL NO = 12345
BRAND NAME = AA
2. ITEM SERIAL NO = 12345
BRAND NAME = BB.

I am working on a project in which a customer wants to be able to list and search their inventory and display the items in a table/grid on a web page.Each item in their inventory has a set of properties - for example, manufacturer, price, serial number, name, etc. The complicated part is that they want an admin to be able to modify/add/delete the set of properties. So for example, they could add the attribute "size." Given that, I think what is needed is 3 tables - one to store the set of properties schema, one for the items, and one to store the actual properties for each item. I know i COULD use alter table statements to add and delete columns, but that doesn't seem like the "right" solution.I would like to be able to write a query such that each row returns the item and all its properties - then i can easily bind to a datagrid. However, what would the query be to do this? I also need to be able to allow the customer to query for items with certain properties - i imagine the sql for that to be similar to this:SELECT * FROM items d WHERE d.Id IN(SELECT a.ItemId FROM attributes a WHERE a.Name = "Manufacturer" AND a.Value = "Samsung") AND d.Id IN(SELECT a.ItemId FROM attributes a WHERE a.Name = "SerialNumber" AND a.Value = "3223")

Hi I building an application that I need a kind of robot, which reset some fields of my Data Base every month. Does someone know how could I do it? For while I’m resetting these fields manually by a ASP.Net page. I thought in put this event in the Global.asax that in every start of application he would compare the date, which he started to the last day that the Data Base was updated, and if it was more than one month he would raise the event.
Thank you very much.

I have a very complex (for me, anyway) data transformation problem.
I've been given a flat-file of physician data from another system which must be automated for entry into the SQL server on a regular basis.
This was no problem until we discovered that several fields (all of which we wanted to use) had multiple pieces of information in them, separated by semicolons.
Well, this didn't seem to be too big of a problem, so I wrote a DTS activeX script to handle it. This is what I originally wrote:
'*******************
Function Transform()
'Declare variables
Dim strOffice
Dim strOfficeNew
Dim cChar
Dim x
Dim y
Dim z
'Scrub values into new rows
strOffice = DTSSource("Col050")
x = 1
y = len(strOffice)
z = 1
While x <= y
cChar = Mid(strOffice, x 1)
If cChar <> ";" Then
strOfficeNew = strOfficeNew & cChar
Else
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
strOfficeNew = ""
z = z + 1
End If
x = x + 1
Wend
'Insert final record after last semicolon
If strOffice <> "" Then
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
End If
Transform = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
'*********************
This, of course, didn't work. WHat I got was the last part of the parsed data, which for the first record, was the second Address in the field.
I searched around, and found the following script that is supposed to allow multiple rows off of a single row, but I can't seem to merge the two and still get the data out clean.
'**********
Dim nCounter
nCounter = 4
Function Main()
if nCounter > 0 then
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipFetch
DTSDestination("PatientNumber") = DTSSource("PatientNumber") Select Case nCounter
Case 1
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Admitting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AdmittingPhysician")
Case 2
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Attending" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AttendingPhysician")
Case 3
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Referring" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ReferringPhysician")
Case 4
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Consulting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ConsultingPhysician")
End Select
nCounter = nCounter - 1
else
nCounter = 4
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert
end if
End Function
'**************
I'm not a VB Script expert, so there's probably something very simple that I'm missing here... if someone could point it out, I'd be greatly appreciative.

I have just started to look at SQL and have a theory question that I could apply to a test I want to run. I have some legacy data from a previous project and the database was not designed properly (in my opinion). They have ONE field to capture City and State information. All the data is formatted City, State .
Does SQL have commands that can look at data in a field, strip out info before and info after a comma and then write that to other fields?
So, I would like to normalize this to take the data in a field called CityState and parse it, trim it and then populate two new fields 1) City and 2) State.
Thanks for your help!

I am new to database programming and was curious how others solve theproblem of storing encrypted in data in db table columns and thensubsequently searching for these records.The particular problem that I am facing is in dealing with (privacy)critical information like credit-card #s and SSNs or business criticalinformation like sales opportunity size or revenue in the database. Therequirement is that this data be stored encrypted (and not in theclear). Just limiting access to tables with this data isn't sufficient.Does any database provide native facilities to store specific columns asencrypted data ? The other option I have is to use something like RC4 toencrypt the data before storing them in the database.However, the subsequent problem is how do I search/sort on these columns? Its not a big deal if I have a few hundred records; I couldpotentially retrieve all the records, decrypt the specific fields andthen do in process searches/sorts. But what happens when I have (say) amillion records - I really don't want to suck in all that data and workon it but instead use the native db search/sort capabilities.Any suggestions and past experiences would be greatly appreciated.much thanks,~s

Is there a limit on the number of fields that can be displayed in a table object in a data source view in SSAS 05?
One of the tables (the fact table) in my data source view is displaying only 50 fields. The table actually has many more than that. One of the fields that is not displaying is a foreign key that I need to link to a new dimension table. I have tried refreshing the view, but it doesn't bring in any additional fields.

Is there any way to create a chart using data fields from more that one query?
I tried to create two different datasets, but the chart has to be bound to only one dataset. So when I drop the data field from the second dataset onto the chart I get a SQL error.
I've also tried UNION ALL. Each of these queries is correct by itself, but UNION ALL combines GLBUDAMOUNT and GLTRXAMOUNT into one field. I need them to be two different fields so that I can do GLBUDAMOUNT VS GLTRXAMOUNT in the chart.

Hi,
I'm trying to write some SQL which will give me the following result from the table below..
Currently I can do each of the PRICEx fields in a seperate query then join the results together. I do this by getting the MAX(Date) WHERE PRICEx IS NOT NULL then using that date to get PRICEx, and then repeat until I've done all the PRICE fields.
This is acceptable for a small selection, but for a large selection this can get quite slow. I was just wondering if there is there a way to do this in one single SQL without having to join the table to itself 3 times (for all 3 PRICE fields)
Source Table:
ProductID
MarketID
Date
PRICE1
PRICE2
PRICE3
1
2
1/01/2006
2.45
3.4
2.97

Hi,
I have three data sets. Data Set A is bound to my table in my report. There are also Data Sets B and C. All three data sets have the identical columns. I have setup data set A so that all of its fields are "Calculated". The calculation for each field will either pick the field from data set B or data set C based upon a parameter called BorC. So the calcualted fields in data set A look like the following:
=iif(Parameters!BorC.Value, First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_B"), First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_C"))
Problem is when I run the report I get internal error. Is it possible to populate one data set from the fields of another data set? If so is there some trick to doing this? Stripping this example down to one column in each of the data sets, and then just directly setting data set A from either B or C still gives me the same error. SO I set the one field in data set A to the following and it still doesn't work:
=First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_B")
OR
=First(Fields!MyField.Value, "dataset_C")
This leads me to believe there is some fundamental problem with using another data set in a Calculated field. Since I think I have done this before I am convinced I am doing sommething wrong.
Any advice you have for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.
