Count SPECIFIC Characters In A String

Dec 30, 2003

How do I count the number of specific characters in a string ?

Example:

declare @var as varchar(50)
set @var="1abc1efg1"


If I wanted to count the "1"...I'll get "3" for answer.
This could maybe done by using a while loop, but is there any T-SQL command for this?????

ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'

,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0

Sep 13, 2013

I am attempting to combine to queries that I created and am not having success. I need to get a count on a field for a specific value and have to do this by gender and by an age range. So here is the query I came up with. I don't get any errors produced but I also don't get any results.

$query = "SELECT p1.sex, age_group, COUNT(CASE WHEN p4.q1 = 'Yes' THEN p4.q1 END) AS heart_attack FROM (select p1.sex,".
" CASE WHEN datediff(year, dateadd(day, -datepart(dayofyear, GetDate()), p1.birthday) , dateadd(day, -datepart(dayofyear, GetDate()), GetDate())) BETWEEN 11 AND 20 THEN '11-20'".
" WHEN datediff(year, dateadd(day, -datepart(dayofyear, GetDate()), p1.birthday) , dateadd(day, -datepart(dayofyear, GetDate()), GetDate()))

Count Only Specific Comma Separated Values

Jan 5, 2015

I'd like to limit my query results to only items that match any part of a dynamic csv string table but am having some trouble (postgres SQL). Details: I need to calculate how many hours our staff spends seeing clients. Each staff has different appointments that can count toward this. The specified appointments for each staff are listed as comma separated values. My existing query calculates the appointment hours for each staff in a given time period.

However, I need limiting my query to only include specified activities for each staff. My current where clause uses IN to compare the appointment (i.e. activity) listed in the staff's schedule with what is listed an an approved appointment type (i.e. performance target activity). The query runs but it seems to only count one of the activities listed in the csv rather then count all the activities that match with the csv.

select (sum (kept)/60) from (select distinct rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id as sid,
rpt_scheduled_activities.service_date, rpt_scheduled_activities.client_id,
from rpt_scheduled_activities inner join rpt_staff_performance_target on rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id = rpt_staff_performance_target.staff_id where

Power Pivot :: How To Count Rows Where A Specific Value Exist

May 20, 2015

This is primarily  a question for DAX/Power BI. I'm trying to figure out how to count rows for a particular column where only a specific value exist. For instance, I'm trying to count how many times a certain field contains a true value or false value across multiple columns. 

I found this formula here: [URL] ....

=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('table'), ALLEXCEPT('table', 'table'[n_country]))

However, I'm not quite sure how to adapt it to count only rows where a value is equal to True, False, 17, "foobar", etc...

Case Statement - Count Orders That Fall Into Specific Dollar Buckets

Aug 2, 2013

I have a table of orders. I was asked to count the orders that fall into specific dollar buckets. Normally I would use a CASE statement for this, but in this case, there are over 100 different buckets!

For example, I need to count the orders in $5 increments up to $400. The CASE statement would look like this:

Code:
CASE
WHEN sum(revenue) BETWEEN 0.01 AND 5.00 THEN [0.01 to 5.00]
WHEN sum(revenue) BETWEEN 5.01 AND 10.00 THEN [5.01 to 10.00]
...
WHEN sum(revenue) BETWEEN 395.01 AND 400.00 THEN [395.01 to 400.00]

Is there an easier way to do this, maybe with a loop?

Transact SQL :: Adding Count Before And After A Specific Time Doesn't Match Total Number Of Records

Nov 19, 2015

If I just use a simple select statement, I find that I have 8286 records within a specified date range.

If I use the select statement to pull records that were created from 5pm and later and then add it to another select statement with records created before 5pm, I get a different count: 7521 + 756 = 8277

Is there something I am doing incorrectly in the following sql?

DECLARE @startdate date = '03-06-2015'
DECLARE @enddate date = '10-31-2015'
DECLARE @afterTime time = '17:00'

General_Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) as General FROM Unidata.CrumsTicket ct

Optional Characters In Search String

Jun 21, 2006

I'm trying to search for commonly abbreviated company titles (ie limited, partnership, and so on). I would like to make my sql statement as short as possible (it's already quite lengthy as is). But I'm having trouble netting the abbreviated forms such as LTD and LMTD for limited (I have no control over the data I get, it comes from different counties with no standardization). I've tried using braketted strings like "L[I,IMI,M,]T[ED,D,]" and all other combinations I can think of, including using single quotes in the each string, and removing the empty placeholder and still can grab all instances.

Someone else's insight would be appreciated.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace String After Specific Index

Mar 23, 2015

I have data like below

Potter, James J
Williams, Ted R
Allen, Gary G

I want to remove Middle Name from the output

Potter, James
Williams, Ted
Allen, Gary

My Query:

SELECT
CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, 0) + 1) > 0 THEN
REPLACE(Supervisor, SUBSTRING(Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, 0) + 1), LEN(Supervisor)), '')
ELSE Supervisor END AS NewSupervisor from data d

However, I stumble when Middle Name exists somewhere in the name as Replace function repalces every occurrence of the string. For ex: "Allen, Gary G" becomes "Allen,ary"

Do we have any way to say sql to replace after certain index?
