In my Derived Column Transformation Editor I have something like this:
DAY([Schedule]) + MONTH([Schedule]) + YEAR([Schedule])
where [Schedule] is a database timestamp field from a OLEDB Datasource.
I want to produce a string something like: "DD/MM/YYYY"
using the expression above, I get something really wierd like "1905-07-21 00:00:00"
Help much appreciated!
Hi All,
Can anyone advise me if I can enter an expression into the format property of a field, so the date is displayed as dd/mm/yyyy ?
It is currently mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
I have been trying with convert and FormatDateTime, but can't seem to get this to work in the Report layout editor. I would like to know how to do it here, rather than changing my query.
Thanks in advance

I have a column say 'ActivationDate' which is a (database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP]) which I want to replace with an expression in derived columns
The condition is if 'ActivationDate' field is null or '' then 'Null' else 'ActivationDate'
I am struggling to write this condition. Without condition i.e. at present it saves the value in this database '1753-01-01 00:00:00.000'.
In the preview the 'ActivationDate'field does not show any thing so I recon it is either null or ''
well i guess we were all a newb once so here goes
something is wrong with the below it just doesnt like the date part
create table PLN_Workgroup_Resource
(
Dte date(ddmmyyyy),
Workgroup varchar(20),
AM_Hrs integer(3),
PM_Hrs integer(3),
EVE_Hrs integer(3)
)
;
I pass in a variable SourceServer to my package via the command line. In our production environment we are seeing:
The expression "@[User::SourceServer]" on property "ServerName" cannot be evaluated. Modify the expression to be valid
Is this just because the evaluation takes place prior to the command line parameters being set and I need to turn off validation?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi,
I created a Custom Task which it has a Property called ConfigFilePath. I'm overriding the Validate() method from Task. I want to throw an error if my property ConfigFilePath is empty and if the expression for this property is empty. So far, I can check if the property is empty but I don't see how I can access the Expressions Collection of my Custom Task.
Any thoughts? I'd appreciate your help.
CREATE ASSEMBLY uploads an assembly that was previously compiled as a .dll file from managed code for use inside an instance of SQL Server.
What I want to do here is enable/create a "MODIFY" option on CLR-based objects in Object Explorer.
Option is only supported for assemblies who's source code has been previously loaded into DB via ALTER ASSEMBLY
Upon electing the option, source code gets displayed in editor.
Users alters managed source
User clicks the "Execute" button in the editor
onClick of "Execute" performs following
Alters managed source (not sure if this can be done in the system tables, may have to save .cs/.vb files out to file system first then reupload)
Builds updated source/.dll is built
Executes an ALTER ASSEMBLY statement to "refresh" the dll and it's associated source code file(s)
Now...how the heck do i do this lol! Anyone
Hi,I'm a newbie to sql server and this may be a really dumb question forsome you. I'm trying to find some examples of sql server triggers thatwill set columns (e.g. the created and modified date columns) if the rowis being inserted and set a column (e.g. just the modified date column)if the row is being updated.I know how to do this in oracle plsql. I would define it as a beforeinsert or update trigger and reference old and new instances of therecord. Does sql server have an equivalent? Is there a better way to dothis in sql server?Thanksericthis is what i do in oracle that i'm trying to do in sqlserver...CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER tr_temp_biubefore insert or updateon tempreferencing old as old new as newfor each rowbeginif inserting then:new.created_date := sysdate;end if;:new.modified_date := sysdate;end tr_temp_biu;
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you Write an expression to Return the date value based on the most recent date only?
Eg. Date 10-7-2015, action - done, notes - all items fixed.
Date 4-5-2016, action - not yet done, notes - buying parts
All these dates are returned based on a search parameter based on a project number. I only want the most current date and associated fields displayed.
I'm trying to swap out old partitions and getting "An error occurred while processing 'AltFile' metadata for database id 12 file id 605" 605 is missing from sys.sysfiles. I've tried adding new file groups since it seemed to be assigning them in that range to allow the command to find a match. Once created and I issue the alter command the file id of the target file changes to something else in the missing range.
The file id values seem to be managed solely by sqlserver so I'm not sure what to try. There are hundreds of files with millions of rows and the method has been used problem free for years. I do occasionally get "unable to remove file because it's not empty" once in a while which may be related. I wind up having to shrink those and leave them in existence.
The target file group has an existing file id value when you join sys.sysfiles using the filegroup name.
I partition data in 2 tables on one filegroup per day. I swap out parition 1 each day which makes the new earliest day's partition the new partition 1. Different databases have different day ranges depending on requirements.
HOW TO GET A FILE'S CREATE DATE??
From SqlServer I need the create date of a file on C or D.
Is there a function or code to retrieve the create date,
or an API that could read and pass back the file's creation date???
Hi!
I got a DATE question here... In Oracle, all dates are based upon a fixed point in time. So internally a specific date is stored as a REAL number (which is something like the number of seconds from that specific date onwards).
How can I change that start date upon which all dates in Oracle are based?
SQL Server 7 has something similar. How can I change the start date for SQL Server?
Thanks,
Helmut

I have a matrix report that has two columns, and one of the colums has the following expression for background color:

I have a report which queries events occurring during the reporting time frame the user selects.
A user selects arrivalDateStart as 8/1/2015 and arrivalDateEnd as 12/31/2015 and the results are returned.
The issue is that there is an event that began 7/31/2015 and ends 8/2/2015. This does not appear on the report. The user does not want to have to pick an earlier arrival date as the parameter of his report to pick up anything that was already in progress prior to the beginning of the month.
I am trying to figure out how to add an expression that will also return events that are in progress over the arrival date chosen for the report.

Hi all,
I have a problem with a report I have created. It has around 52 columns and each column is shown or hidden based on a boolean parameter. Simple huh? I though so.
Each column has an expression similar to =IIF(Parameters!showfirstname.Value,False,True) for the Hidden field. This is not the hidden field for the 'cell' or 'header' but for the entire column.
The problem is, the report is correctly displayed as a pdf, tiff, excel file (possibly others), but all columns with an expression as the hidden value are not displayed in the xml or csv output regardless of the parameter value. This also applies if the expression is =IIF(True,False,True) or =IIF(1=1,False,True).
As soon as I change this field back to a simple 'True' or 'False' it displays correctly. I've tried playing around with setting the output options to values other than the default Auto setting to no avail.
There are numerous comments about this on newsgroups online going back to the first release of reporting services but none of them have solutions.

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?

I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got this error for a calculated field that calls a public function of a custom assembly based on the report parameter values. The return type is an array of double.
=code.ovalues.dGetValues(Parameters!Report_Start.Value, Parameters!Report_End.Value, Parameters!Tag.Value, Parameters!Agg.Value)
Does SSRS 2005 supports the type double for a field? Can the data source of a field in a dataset be an array? Is there a way to pass the array to a field by reference and display the values at runtime?

Hi all,

I have been looking all over for some info about other people having this problem, but haven't found anything.
I have a package that needs to download a dated file from an ftp site. I am using a couple script objects to set variables, and one of them is the filename based on the date. I use an expression to get the date:
@[User::varFileName] = (DT_WSTR,4) Year( GetDate()) + (DT_WSTR,2) Month( GetDate()) + Substring((DT_WSTR, 29) GETDATE(), 9, 2)
Everything works really well when I am debugging it locally. However once it is on the server or even once I come back to it in a day or two, I am still seeing the old date. I thought it might be because my variable needed to be set to evaluateexpression = true, however once I did this it hung me and prevented me from debugging and I had to end bus dev studio. Not sure if its because it is being evaluated in two places (as a global and then in a script) but when I took it out of my script it hung again. Its strange in order to get it to work when I am debugging it locally I have to go to each process and evaluate the expressions in there, then it seems to work. thanks!

Hi there.
I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE')
Can anyone out there help?
Please advise. Thanks.
Best.

A date field in a report returns the date value as:
2015-07-01 13:30:27.000
Is there any way I can script this to appear as:
01 July 2015 (or 01-07-2015 or 01/07/2015) - basically to cut out the hours, minutes and seconds?
The best I have managed is: CONVERT (varchar(17),DATE,113) AS Date1 but this still leaves me with:
01 July 2015 13:30
Brand new to this, so please bear with me.I'm using the following code fragment to update a datetime field on a SQL Server 2005 database table:cmd.CommandText = "Update Projects Set EntryDate = " & Convert.ToDateTime(txtEntryDate.Text)cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()The result of the update operation is the the database field contains the value "1900-01-01 00:00:00:000". This probably means that I passed nulls to SQL; however, I see a valid date in the txtEntryDate field on my web form (i.e., "06/18/2007"). I also did a "Response.write" to display the txtEntryDate and it looks Okay.Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?Thanks!Using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express.
