Convert Column Of Data Alphanumeric To Integer
Nov 14, 2013
I need to convert a column of data from alpha numeric to integer.
I am only querying the tables i.e. i don't have access to actually change the data tables themselves.
CAST or CONVERT throws up an error. Are there any other commands i can use at the query stage?
The data I need to convert is always actually a number. i.e. even though it is recognised as alpha numeric, the figure is a number.
I just need it to be converted to an integer so i can SUM it etc.

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.

I need to convert a a string column to integer. Before converting, I need to check if it has blank values then convert it to NULL. Someone told me that its easier to convert it to NULL before converting to integer.

I am dealing with what I believe is Oracle that is the source of a SQL View.
I am seeing a data type of Integer in the View, but I am not able to see what makes up that View. When I query the View, I can see that an Integer data type column is storing a blank space. I use ISNUMERIC(ColumnName) = 0 and there are a lot of rows that show as a zero length blank space, or text, or something. I just know that it is not an Integer.
I have attempted to CAST and Convert this value, but it will not. I have changed the data type on the table that is being inserted in too, and it still fails with a Conversion error. I have tried REPLACE(), but still the same conversion error.

I have set a column called "Anumber", I am
using a computed value to get the PK ID # and
a the letter "A" to it.
('A'+CONVERT([varchar](10),[requestid],(0)))
The above works fine unless I copy a record,
The copied record never displays the correct
value like "A55" it keeps "NULL" as it value.
Is their a better way to achieve a result as
described above ?
I am coming from Foxpro to SQL, Any advice would
be great.
Thanks

I have also tried. dt = (DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa);
I am programming in VB
here is teh rest of my code.

I have the following stored procedure for creating a transaction record and after inserting the record, the transaction id is returned.-----------------------------------------------------DECLARE @TransactionID int <------ INSERT statement (after inserting the record, select the identity ID) ---------> Select @TransactionID = @@Identity RETURN------------------------------------------------------...Dim transactionID As Integerconnection.Open()Dim reader As SqlDataReaderreader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)Dim p3 As New SqlParameter("@TransactionID", SqlDbType.Int)p3.Direction = ParameterDirection.OutputtransactionID = Convert.ToInt16(p3.Value)connection.Close()...I wanna retrieve the transactionID of the newly inserted record so that I can use it in my next step of inserting a new record to another table which has reference to the transactionID as a foreign key. However, I encountered error and suspect that it is due to the conversion of the output to Integer as it worked when I tested using dummy Integers.I tried many different ways of conversion but couldn't resolve the error. Could anyone help?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into
an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits)
expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing
the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert
them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.)
I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g.
select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode
gives the error
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the
hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard
to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org
as I don't read this board.
Thanks,
Lars Huttar

In a table, I store an integer to represent a day of the week (1 = sunday ) and then in procedures, compare that to datepart(dw, getdate()) to do alternative tasks on certain days.
If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?

I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
=CStr(CInt(Parameters!CrashStatisticalYear.Value)-1)
Question is, where do i put this...and how come when i put it in the parameters expression for the 2nd matrix, i get an error datatype messege? HELP !

I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00.
example of data:
0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99
222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00
0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89
2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99
00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99
-109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't.
i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
Thanks

In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?

I've got a column that holds a time value in Integer form as a number from midnight (IE military time) with no leading 0s or colons.
0 = 00:00
30 = 00:30

1700 = 1700 etc...
How can I convert this to a real time field?

Hi,
I am querying DB2 from SSRS. I get an interger back that represents a time like this: HHMMSS
(The data type in DB2 is an integer.) I would like to make this representation of the time display a little more friendly. Does anyone have a good idea on how I can change the query or SSRS format to display semi-colons to break up the hours, minutes and seconds? Also, the other issue is that since I don't get leading zeros back....they probably need to be added to this value if the value is not a full 6 characters.

I have a string stored in a column of type image that I need to do string operations with in order to decode the containing infomation.
data [image] = 0x07FD0707FD0102F001000054004C005300410000000054004C00530041000000FF...
I can't cast or convert to nvarchar(max), varchar(max) as I always get an error. Explicit conversion from data type image to varchar(max) is not allowed.
I tried CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), DATA))
Which doesn't throw an error but seems to interprete the hexadecimal code to ascii characters and therefore is useless (ýýð...)

I am trying to create a whole number DAX calculated column that is derived from a date column. Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days. So 01/March/2015 becomes 201531 which is not what I want (I need 20150301 in this case).
