I have a columns with datatype varchar(50) which has date values in it.

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,
Al
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.
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.
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'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!

i would like to get 4 columns output
how to get sumofshares (#tab1) and TotalOutStanding(#tab2) summ up with these values,
MasterKey (#tab1) and IssueKey (#tab2) are like primary key and foreign key
so the request is
need to calculate, sumofshares (#tab1) and TotalOutStanding(#tab2) as below
1)ShareBenefist = U and year( request_dat) in (2012 , 2103) and (Name for 2012 should match with 2013 name and 2012 Acctno should match with 2013 accounno) in (#tab1)
then '2012 and 2013 accts UN Veriverted'
2)ShareBenefist = V and year( request_dat) in (2012 , 2103) and (Name for 2012 should match with 2013 name and 2012 Acctno should match with 2013 accounno) in (#tab1)

then '2012 and 2013 accts NONVERT'
4)year( request_dat) =2102 and Name and Acctno not match with 2013 account name and acctno (#tab1)
then '2012 last year accounts'
5)year( request_dat) = 2013 and Name and Acctno not match with 2013 account name and acctno (#tab1)
then '2012 This year accounts'
for ex 1) the below accounts in #tab1 has both 2012 and 2013 and acctno same in both years and name is same in both years so it is condired as
insert into #tab1 values (1012, 100,'Tom',800, '08/22/2013')
for ex 2)
insert into #tab1 values (1013, 101,'Bat',550, '09/15/2013')
for ex 4) 2012 records there is not match acctno and name in 2013 recods
insert into #tab1 values (1002, 102,'Kit', 1600, '06/12/2012')
for ex 5) 2013 records there is no match of name and acct no with 2012 records
insert into #tab1 values (1010, 104,'Sim',200, '04/21/2013')
insert into #tab1 values (1014, 100,'Pet',200, '02/21/2013')

red - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red - pen

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.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

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 QA Deployment Date field that is being returned in a custom report I created. I also found a sample date range parameter:
What I want to accomplish:
I want to select a From and To Date and filter the report to only display the rows that have the QA Deployment Date within the selected range.
For example.. I want to select From Date (8/1/2105) and To Date (8/31/2015) and I only want to return only the results that have a QA Deployment date between that selected range.
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?
