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?????

SQL Query. What i need is to be able to extract specific characters from data.
Eg name
1.2-KPIA1-App-00001 this is a name i require, but i also require the '1.2' and the 'KPIA1' to be displayed in new columns in the results
i.e. 1.2-KPIA1-App-00001 1.2 KPIA1
*I need this in part of a script as there is thousands of rows of data.

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'

1900 No. 8 Road, RIchmond, BC, V6V 1W3
I can do a LEFT(user4, 7) That returns me the first 7 charcters but I need to retrieve the company information but the number of characters may vary with each field. Is there anyway I can do this without returning the entire line?

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()))

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

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.Â
I found this formula here:Â [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...

I have a table called Employees which has lots of columns but I only want to count some specific columns of this table.
i.e. EmployeeID: 001
week1: 40
week2: 24
week3: 24
week4: 39
This employee (001) has two weeks below 32. How do I use the COUNT statement to calculate that within these four weeks(columns), how many weeks(columns) have the value below 32?

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?

I have a field that contains text strings that always follow this syntax "ABC:DE:comment follow". I want to return a new field with only whatever is between the two : (in this case DE but it could be more). It would be perfect if all the field follow that syntax, however, I have variations where users put spaces either before or after the :. Can the spaces be ignored?
Thank you for any help.

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'

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.

Hi All,I'm familiar with the syntax that looks like this:SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Email LIKE '%aol%'Which would return all users that whose Email column contains "aol".However, if I wanted to do that sort of a search using a prepared statement, how would I do it?I can't simply doSELECT * FROM Users WHERE Email LIKE '%@MatchAgainst%'Can somebody clue me in?

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?
