Ceiling Function Problem

Apr 23, 2008

Hello,
I am running the following query. When (sum_of_prov-@Ded) < 0 and > -1, the ��ceiling�? function will make the amount = 0.
Could you please advice should I just remove the ��ceiling�? function from the ��amount�? field or what changes
needs to be done to take the amount because right now Amount is showing zero amount from the following query.

DECLARE @Tax int
DECLARE @Ded int

SELECT @Tax =151.8600
SELECT @Ded =0

SELECT round(((ceiling(sign(@Tax-@Ded)/2)*((1+.09)*(@Tax-@Ded)))*1)/24,2) Amount
FROM payhist WHERE empid = '30054' AND payperiod IN (29,30) AND clientid=32 AND payind='U1' AND type IN ('HLT1')

Use Of Ceiling Function In SSRS

Apr 3, 2008

The Ceiling Function should ideally return an integer value, but in SSRS it return the value upto 3 decimal places.. any idea how that can be resolved?

Suppose i have a value 90.6 and i use the ceiling function, it should return me 91... but it returns 90.998....

Thanks

Help Convert MS Access Function To MS SQL User Defined Function

Aug 1, 2005

I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function

Pass Output Of A Function To Another Function As Input

Jan 7, 2014

I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...

I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

Using A Scalar Valued Function As A Parameter Of A Table Valued Function?

Feb 1, 2006

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)

Calling A Function From A Function?

Apr 11, 2008

Hi All

Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's

I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL

however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?

Here are excerpts two functions I have:

We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)

and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)

As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:

SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]

and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.

In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?

Thank you!

SQL AVG Function

Apr 30, 2007

I have a table:tblRateUserUserIDJudge intUserIDJudged intscore int
this table contains the userid of the person giving a score (judge) and the person receiving the score (judged) and the score itself.
Each user can only score another user once.
tblRateUser content:judged judge score6 5 87 5 107 6 515 7 415 5 9
When a new score is inserted I want to get the average score for the rated user by counting all scores for that user and divide by the number of records.
declare @avgscore decimal(4,1) set @avgscore=(select avg(score) from tblRateUser WHERE UserCodeJudged=@ID) print 'avg score: '+ cast(@avgscore as nvarchar(15)) in the above example this results for usercode judged 7 in an average score of 7.0 whereas I would expect 7.5 (10+5)/2
what am I doing wrong?

DTS Function

Sep 12, 2002

Hi

I'm creating DTS packages to load data from text files. I'm finding that a lot of the data needs to be transformed in the same way (e.g trailing "." removed). Rather than writing individual activex scripts to do this, is it possible to write my own DTS function which I call from my DTS packages?

Thanks

VBA Function In SQL ??

Jun 9, 2004

Hi,

I am upgrading an AccessXP database to SQL 2000 and have an issue with week numbers.

There is currently a piece of VBA that calculates the week number for time recording purposes using the DatePart function as
DefaultVal_WeekNo = DatePart("ww", TaxDate, vbMonday, vbFirstFourDays)

I have tried to get this replicated in SQL by using

declare @TaxDate as datetime
declare @TheWeek float

set @TaxDate = @TheDate -90 -7

set @TheWeek = cast(datepart("ww",@TheDate) as numeric (30))
-
cast(datediff("wk", @TaxDate, @TheDate) as numeric (30))

but this is not reurning the correct values, i belive this is because the VB function has the vbMonday argument.
Can anyone tell me how i can get wround this please?

TIA

Max Function

Jul 18, 2002

Hi,

I am having some difficulty with the Max function. I would expect it to return one row when you use it in a select statement (as long as there is truly one unique row)

Executing the query below give me the following result

select * from lead_with
where id= 80430
ORDER BY 1 DESC

id firm covacc avgFinal
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------------------------------------
80430 122 0 8.000000
80430 122 29353 9.000000
80430 505 NULL 8.500000
80430 2045 NULL 7.500000
80430 122 18815 9.000000
80430 223 NULL 8.500000
80430 625 NULL 8.000000

Executing the next query give me the following results

select MAX(avgFinal), IBFirm
from lead_with
where [ID] = 80430
group by avgFinal,IBFirm
order by avgFinal desc

IBFirm
---------------------------------------- -----------
9.000000 122
8.500000 223
8.500000 505
8.000000 122
8.000000 625
7.500000 2045

Not only does it return more than one row, it actually misses a row from
above

80430 122 18815 9.000000

I guess I am missing something. What I am trying to do is get the row with
the maximum value in the avgFinal column.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

James

Help With MAX Function ?

Dec 3, 2004

I have the following problem statement: Quote: What was the most expensive merchandise item sold in July? Display sale date, sale price and merchandise description. Sort output by descending sales price. (hard-coding date is OK). Here's my query statement:
Code:

SELECT saleDate AS "Sale Date", salePrice AS "Sale Price",description AS "Merchandise Description"FROM Sale, SaleItem, MerchandiseWHERE salePriceAND DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) = 'July'ORDER BY salePrice DESC

I want to know how I would use the MAX function on my query since I know this would give me the most expensive item. Am I writing my query statement correctly? Do I have to declare the MAX function in the SELECT statement and on the WHERE statement of just on the WHERE statement? Any clarifications/help would be appreciated
