I have a column that is frequently updated with an append query. I need to turn all of the incoming positive values into negative values (as well as convert all of the existing). I tried to multiply the column by -1 in the formula option in table design view but couldn't find the proper formula format.
Can anyone suggest an approach.
I have a columns with datatype varchar(50) which has date values in it.
I am trying to convert the values in the column to a date value,but i am getting conversion error.
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
select last_update from importtest where convert(datetime,last_update)<convert(datetime,'24 Dec 2014')
We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B
red  - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red  - pen
blue - pencil
blue - highlighter
blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
          red   blue  green
  pen       2    0    1
  marker    0    1    0
  pencil      1    3    0
  highlighter  1    1    1Â

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.Â
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.Â

I have to convert values like 0x01A4 to integer and I just can not get it right!
Select Convert(int, 0x01A4) works OK but is not useful.
But
Declare @hex varchar(20)
Select Convert(int, @b) yields:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x01A4' to a column of data type int.
What's the trick??
Not sure how I can convert varchar to numeric values in SQL Server? Trying to do so in Design and get error:

Hi,
I've an int field and when this field has a null, I want to show empty/blanks instead of 0. How can this be achieved?
I've tried the below:
declare @a as int
set @a= null
select isnull(@a,'')
o/p: 0
select cast(isnull(@a,'') as varchar)
o/p: 0
select case convert(varchar,@a)
when null then ''
else @a
end
o/p: null
Thanks for your help!

Hi. I I'm importing a text file with lot's of decimal values with this format xx.xx. The problem is that my locale is Portugal and the points are being striped off and are not being considered as decimal separators (for example I have values like 0.04 and in the sql server database i see 4). I have tried to change the locale but i receive a message saying that the locale is not installed in my system.
Any help on this ? tnks in advance
We have inherited an appointments database that has a table tblAppointments
Within this table there are 2 fields, ApptFrom & ApptTo, these are the appointment start & finish times.
My problem is, the values in these fields are held as integers ranging from 0 - 288. I have worked out the scale for the integers, it is based on a 24hr clock with each segment representing 5mins
Eg: 0 = 0:00
12 = 1.00
24 = 2.00
36 = 3.00
€¦
...
288 = 24:00
What I need is a piece of T_SQL that will translate these into times that can be read by a normal user
So, say I have a record with an ApptFrom = 36 & ApptTo = 42, I need to be able to show these as ApptFrom = 3.00 & ApptTo = 3.30
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I have a field that was text YESNONull. When I imported it into SQL I converted it to Boolean and had to go back and null out the ones that were supposed to be null. I am now trying to use the fields in my old reports and find that I have to convert the values to YesNo inside the query. This causes me to have to change almost every report. So I am wondering if there's a easier way to return YesNoNull or should I just keep the field as a 3 byte text?

Hi,
I have a calendar parameter in one of my reports. The values of the calendar are of the form 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mms'. And they are string values.
Now when I generate the report I have a textbox that takes the parameter label (e.g., parameter!calendar.label). However, I would like to format (or trim) the label as just 'yyyy-mm-dd'. Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried to change the parameter value format to datetime but this just throws an invalid datatype error...
cheers,

As a DBA, I am working on a project where an ETL process(SSIS) takes a long time to aggregate and process the raw data.
I figured out few things where the package selects the data from my biggest 200 GB unpartitioned table which has a datekey column but the package converts its each row to an integer value leading to massive scans and high CPU.
Example: the package passed two values 20140714 and 4 which means it wants to grab data from my biggest table which belongs between 20140714 04:00:00 and 20140714 05:00:00.
It leads to massive implicit conversions and I am trying to change this.
To minimize the number of changes, what I am trying to do is to convert 20140714 and 4 to a datetime format variable.
Select Convert(DATETIME, LEFT(20170714, 8)) which gives me a date value but I am stuck at appending time(HH:00:00) to it.
I have tried all possible combinations of changing this. But was not able to make the results tally.I am giving you a part of the query, there are others queries involving 4 tables which are based on this same temporary table query.

Hi, how do I convert dates with SSIS, when I receive dates I have no problem, with empty fields I have to go through a transformation as:
trim(field_name) == "" ? "999999" : substring....... (derive transform)
after this I have to update each field holding '999999' to NULL. (using sql task)
Is there an easier way to doing this?
Thanks
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales](
 [CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
 [CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
 [CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task. Â It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields. Â A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date. Â I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change. Â
I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed).Â
Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).

I've got have a populated table and I want to convert a datetime column so it lists the date only (without the time component)
I tried to run this as a script, but returns an error:
update <table>
where <column>=convert(datetime,convert(char10),<column>,101))
When I run only this part, it does strip the date of the time component but it becomes a string, and I need this field stored as a datetime field:
convert(char(10),hire_date,101)
I'd appreciate any suggestions :)

I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN
(SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR
(user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN
(SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))
This is a report I'm trying to build in SQL Reporting Services. I can do it in a hacky way adding two data sets and showing two tables, but I'm sure there is a better way.
TheTable
Order# Customer Status
STATUS has valid values of PROCESSED and INPROGRESS
The query I'm trying to build is Count of Processed and INProgress orders for a given Customer.
I can get them one at a time with something like this in two different datasets and showing two tables, but how do I achieve the same in one query?
Select Customer, Count (*) As Status1
FROM TheTable
Where (Status = N'Shipped')
Group By Customer
Can anyone show how to alter the value in a column using DerivedColumn component when creating an SSIS package programatically.

Hello everyone, I have searched and seached for an answer to something that I know has to be simple but have been unsuccessful. I appreciate any help...
I am trying to take a char (6) column named col001 and convert it to datetime.

I have a column in a table I want to convert all data to UCASE. Currently I have some that are lower case, some Uppercase, and some mixed. Considering there are over 700,000 records and these are just manufacturer names, I want to convert these to uppercase so all displayed information is consistent and I do not have to go through my scripts and convert to UCASE anywhere I pull a manufacturer name.
Is it possible to update a column data to UCASE? I understand how to do this via a row and with a condition, but an entire column has me confused.
Thanks for your help.
It is possible to covert rows into column by using tsql script, see attached file for more details...

'SD' = Case When pro_date > 20790000 Then
pro_date = '20790101'
Else CAST(CAST(pro_date AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME) End,
I'm having trouble converting a date in the format of:
Jan 11 2006 12:00:00:000AM
to a smalldatetime in my new SSIS package. I'm trying the derived column transformation, but I'm at a wall now, especially with the conversion of 'Jan' string to integer/month/value of 1. Anyone have experience/advice on this transformation?
What happened to the DateTime String transformation in SQL 2000? Was that too unpopular to move to integration services? That transformation saved my butt many times - every banks' data feed we import uses a different date format.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help!
