How can I convert a field with commas, cents and decimal to a numeric without commas and decimals and cents...?
Sample nvarchar values to desired output (integer whole value, truncated or rounded doesn't matter):
0.00 to 0
14,000.04to 14000
139,234.31to 139234
14,017,300.00to 14017300
Hello all,I have an SQL query which retrieves a COUNT number from 2 different tables, and i want to do a division with botht he COUNT data retrieved. Trouble is I can't get it in the format that I want, my SQL query is as below :-SELECT ROUND( ((T1.Present/T2.Total ) * 100), 2) FROM(Select Count(Date) as Present from Attendance WHERE Month(Date)=12 AND Status=1) T1,(Select Count(Date) as Total from Attendance WHERE Month(Date)=12) T2The trouble here is that the result should be as below: T1.Present = 3T2.Total = 5 T1.Present/T2.Total = 3/5 = 0.6The final should be 60 after divided by 100But i am getting a zero as my result, even when I don't multiply the number by 100, the division result is still zero. I am guessing it is a conversion problem. Could anyone please offer me any advise on how to get the final result in the format I want?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just loaded my db table from an excel file using the import wizard. Prior to the import, I set my data types and in the field that I need a number with 1 decimal place I chose a decimal data type.
Made since to me
However, now my numbers do not have the decimals.
Please help.
So my data is delivered as numeric(9,2)...like 100.00. I have to extract that data and store it as a varchar 0 filled without the decimal place...like 0000010000///I tried the following and it did not work...
RIGHT('000000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,[EODPosting].[Amount]),10),
Is there a place where i can find events that takes place in the sql server? Like adding data to a database or something like that....

I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?

My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
Hello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!
Hi,
I have table Article(ID,Title,FAID)
I need a query that will select all the Article.ID records where the FAID contains the number of the article ID
For exapmle, Article Table content is:
1, "Title1","2,6"
2, "Title2",""
3, "Title3","6,1"
6, "Title6","2"
Lets say I want to get all titles of article ID 1. I am going to its FAID which is "2,6"
So the query will return : "Title2", "Title6"
Can you advice how to write this? I can do a walk around solution where I will open a new table name FA but I rather not to.
I have a normal nvarchar(50) field in a table that has a single comma in it but when i read it using OleDbDataReader the comma gets removed.
any ideas what i am doing wrong ?

Whisky-my beloved dog who died suddenly on the 29/06/06-I miss u so much.
I am using SQL 2005 and have a query that returns seven columns of data. In one the columns, the results contains commas. For example, one of the results is 'brooke, nick, dustin, and me.jpg'. The results are saved into a .csv file so it can be imported into Excel. The user named the file with the commas and I need to preserve the original file name.
My question:
Is there some way to format the data inside of SQL so that when it gets saved as a .csv file, the extra commas don't throw off the column layout?
I don't want to have to manually clean up possibly several hundred rows of data everytime I run the query.
Thanks in advance.
Do anyone know of a function, that I can use to removed commas
from a string? eg. "The lady, cross the road" should be "The lady cross the road"
Thanks, Vic
Hello all,
I am using SQL Server 6.5 SP5a.
I have to use bcp to import two text files everyday for database update. The problem is that some of the character fields that are being imported have double-quotes and/or commas in them. When these are imported into the SQL Server tables additional double quotes are being added into these strings.
Example:
INCOMING STRING = a"a
IMPORTED STRING = "a""a"
INCOMING STRING = b,b
IMPORTED STRING = "b,b"
I have searched through BOL and have not been able to find any information.
Does anyone know what is causing this and if so how to correct it?
Thanks,

Hello Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :) Anyone know the easiest way to get from:123456789to123,456,789in T-SQL? Currently I cast my int as money, use convert to varchar with style 1 and then lop off the .00. Is there an easier way? Two things before you get all upset and start squealing about front ends:1) These are admin functions that I am running from SSMS. I don't want to go to the bother of creating an application when SSMS is perfectly adequate for what I need (namely to-a-large-degree unformatted result sets).2) I'm not too fussed about it just curious. Ta & tra la!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a hierarchy of product categories and I want to string them together to show the complete path (breadcrumbs) to the item. Each category/subcat must be separated buy a comma. The catch is that not all items have the same number of cats/subcats. Here is what I am currently doing, but as you can see, this results in extra commas where the subcats are null.
Code:
create table #ItemCat(
itemNo int,
Cat varchar(50),
SubCat1 varchar(50),
SubCat2 varchar(50)
[Code] ....
Is there some way to concatenate these, separated by commas, but ignoring the NULL fields? For example, ItemNo 1 should show "Kitchen, Appliances"

I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals

Because the data contains commas, I've had to change the data type to varchar. I've seen several instances of PATINDEX used however I have not ran across any of them that would put the above in the order in which I need. Btw, I have about 20 columns with this type of data and I eventually plan to use the results of each column to populate dropdownlists . Thank you all in advance.
I have a simple statement where I am trying to remove all commas that may be in the xn_workordeld column.
SELECT
xn_workordeld = case replace(xn_workordeld, ',', '') as "WORKORDER LD"
from workorder
Have a column in my DB called _Venue, which has been populated with address information separated by commas, like this:
Address1,address2,address3,address4
The address has sometimes only a few lines, for example I may have just Address1 or just address1 and address2 filled etc.
I need to write a query that will individually select addressX, so I can pick and choose what part of the full address to use.
Can these be done?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Can you help
I have a string that has multiple commas:
'AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD,EEE,...'
I need to pick any characters between commas or find all commas positions.
I am trying to create a SSIS package with a csv flat file for the both the destination and source. I cannot control the source file. I need to be able to handle an extra comma in the source file which occasionally contains suffixes i.e. {John, Smith, Jr,} which could cause some records to be 9 fields and others 10. Any ideas?

I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this
Hello,
This may be a strange request, but I am going to ask about it anyways.
Say for example if I have a table named TEST and in the table there is a column named NUMBERS, such that it is like this:
NUMBERS
1
2
3
4
How could I use a select statement in a way that a comma would seperate every return value, such that if I go 'Select NUMBERS from TEST' I would get:
1,2,3,4
Instead of:
1
2
3
4
Any ideas?
Thanks
