Field Formatting

Apr 24, 2008

Hi

Is there a way to format a field in a table with a datetime data type to show just the date?
ie. 24/04/2008 17:25:00 would just become 24/04/2008.

Even showing 24/04/2008 00:00:00 would be helpful.

Thanks

Formatting A Field On SQL Server

Sep 11, 2007

Hello again,

I have a huge question haha. I just simply want to make a number display differently before I insert it into the table. for instance in Access, you can simply say FORMAT(c,format) ex: FORMAT(@CHARMINS, 00000) and it should work that way.

How would I accomplish this in SQL server? Right now I have the number 30 displaying as 30.00 in the variable it is set to.... I want it to be shown as 00030.... and any other number that is like 30.00, I want it shown the same way. Like 100.00 would be 00100. Thank you.

Formatting A Field To Spec In SQL

Oct 5, 2006



Can anyone tell me how to format a field to spec?

Example:

Select num_field from table = 12345

I want

Select Format(num_field,"0000000000") from table = 0000012345

or some equivalent. I know in Access you could do this using the Format function, but I cannot seem to find anything like this in SQL.

Thanks in advance,

Partial Field Formatting

Feb 8, 2008

Is it possible to format just part of a field? I've got a report that return a collection of users based on some search criteria. Bascially, you enter a string and the report returns all users with a user name or display name simialr to your search string. I wanted to highlight the part of the name that matches the search string.

For instance, if you search for 'nny'

You might see a result of 'Johnny User'

Thanks.

Formatting For A Birth Date Field??

Sep 16, 2006

Hello, I'm new to SQL Server, working for a non-profit computerizing alot of its data.I imported a table of people's names, birth dates, etc. into SS2005from Access, and the birth_date was imported as an Access date/timefield, giving it the datetime datatype in SQL.The column values look like:10/14/1964 12:00:00 AMWhere and how do I learn to specify that all fields like this should bein ISO format of yyyy-mm-dd??Do I have to create a new column and put all the dates into it??Should I just convert the data in queries/views??Use a constraint to format the data??I can redo the Access table if necessary, it is only 300-some rows.I tried BOL but it was not helpful...The end users will likely enter mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy and it will haveto be stored properly in the database table as column/fieldbirth_date...Thank you, Tom

Reporting Services :: Formatting A Date Field To Just Show Date Not Minutes?

Jul 6, 2015

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

Formatting

Aug 18, 2005

Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.

SQL Formatting.

Feb 28, 2001

I'm working as a consultant for a project and I have been having constant issues with the in house "database guru" about stored procedure formating.

He insists I use a format similar to this:

create procedure getUser @UserId int = NULL
as
select
UserName
, UserPassword
, UserRole
from
Users
join
UserRole
on
User.ID = UserRole.ID
where
User.ID = @UserID
and
User.Active = 1

where as I prefer this format:

create procedure getUser
(
@UserId int = NULL
)
as
select UserName,
UserPassword,
UserRole
from Users
join UserRole on User.ID = UserRole.ID
where User.ID = @UserID
and User.Active = 1

Now normally I don't argue about style issues but I find his format confusing and it bothers me that it senselesly wastes lines make the stored procedure longer than necessary.

I'd love to get some comments on this issue or reference to any discussions on issues such as this.

Thanks

Hello -
Does anyone know why SQL Server Reporting Services formatts SQL weird? -- If I type a SQL statement in notepad or notepad++ and then paste it in Reporting Services it will change the whole structure and "expand" it out to three or four times its size.

Text Formatting In SQL

Jan 31, 2008

I am trying to output data from SQL Server to an email body message with a little formatting (just to make it legible)
Using this SQL statement:
select top 1 'Name', app_first_name+' '+app_last_name [name] ,'Submission Date', submission_date ,'Address', app_address+', '+app_city+', '+app_state+'  '+app_zip from vw_bpa_export where app_email = dave@email.com order by submission_date desc
the resulting output displays this in the email body
"Name","Brian Vogler","Submission Date","2008-01-30 07:45:00","Address","6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA  30092     "
but what I want is the text to look more like this:
Name                        Brian VoglerSubmission Date        2008-01-30 07:45:00Address                     6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA  30092
 Is there a way to do this in the SQL  statement  (without HTML tags)?

Formatting Values

Jun 19, 2000

I have values in my database that I'd like to display as $xxx,xxx.xx. Some of these values use the money datatype and others use float.

I'm building a string in a stored procedure that is eventually passed to Visual Basic. I want to format these values in the above format in the string that is passed. I've searched all through MSN and I couldn't find anything related to VB's FORMAT function in SQL Server.

Does Transact-SQL have any functions that could format these values for me?

Data Formatting

Mar 13, 2001

Does anyone familiar with a tool or a quick way to put apostrophes and commas around some values, so they could be used in a query ? Example, if I have a bunch of zip codes such as:
10001
10003
10009
54321
89043
etc
Let's say I have a couple of hundreds of them. I need to be able to see them as -

'10001','10003','10009','54321','89043' etc

Appreciate very much your time.

Formatting Numbers

Jan 18, 2005

I am using a MS Access ADP connected to SQL Server Data

In a view I have the following formula:

dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01

this calculates cost + markup

I cannot get it to format in Currency

Ex:

Cost is $1.75
Markup is 2.00 (2%)
Total shows - 1.785000

I want $1.78

Also - I am using this formula to calculate the Quoted price for the Qty Entered

dbo.tblQuoteItem.Qty * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01

Using a Qty of 2 for above, I get 3.535000

I want $3.53


Any help is appreciated - AB
