Do we have any builtin functions in SQL Server for certain financial calculations. For eg., like the PV, FV functions in VB
If not, how else do we achieve this thru' a SQL Server stored procedure?
Thanks in advance,
Siva
Hi everybody,
Does anyone have financial functions to be run in SQL Server 2000? For example, future value, interest rate, payments, and so on. Or where can I find them on Internet?
Thanks in advance

I have a table which can be downloaded from the link below. The table contains property Market Rent and period the new rent is applicable. I need to generate a report with parameter ( year and month) so when the user inputs year and month the associated market rent amount for that month is listed.
For example if the 1st market rent update was done in June 2014 ( $300) and the 2nd in Dec 2014 $(350), the property market rent from June to Nov should be $300 and from Dec 2014 till the next rent update $350. So if user inputs year 2014 and month August, the amount is $300 and if the user enters the year 2015 and month March amount is $350

Below is the table with sample data
DECLARE @table TABLE ( PropCode INT ,PropStartDate DATE ,PropEndDate char(10) ,PropRentStartDate DATE ,PropRentEndDate DATE ,MarketRent INT)
INSERT INTO @table (PropCode,PropStartDate, PropEndDate,PropRentStartDate,PropRentEndDate, MarketRent) VALUES

I need to create a table which holds date information for our financial year.
I have all the dates between now and 2045 and the start of the week and the end of the week. What I also have is the first sunday of the previous week in the spreadsheet too.
Please see below attachment
What I need to autofill once I import these three dates into a database is the week and the month.
The difficulty surrounding the month is that, we start a new month on the FIRST Sunday of the month.
So dates 07/04/14 to 04/05/2014 would be month 1.
Month 2 would begin on 05/05/2014 as it is the day after the first Sunday of the month, and so on....Month 5 would start on the 04/08/14.
Need to script something that would automatically calculate the week and month for me on the basis on above, if I have the start date, end date and 1st sunday already in a table?
I like to create an SQL view to divide amount 300,000 between 12 month starting from Month July 2014 to June 2015 as shown below

I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality andremembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerningperformance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* infunction" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made thefollowing comment about UDFs in SQL 2005:[color=blue][color=green]>>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of[/color][/color]these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe there. In fact fora complex expression, a UDF in written a CLR language may be fasterthanthe corresponding expression using built-in T-SQL functions.<<I thought the I would put this to the test using some of the same SQLas before, but adding a simple scalar CLR UDF into the mix. The testinvolved querying a simple table with about 300,000 rows. Thescenarios are as follows:(A) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column(B) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column and as a criterionin the WHERE clause(C) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column(D) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion in theWHERE clause(E) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column(F) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion inthe WHERE clauseA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(295310 row(s) affected)A: 1563(150003 row(s) affected)B: 906(295310 row(s) affected)C: 2703(150003 row(s) affected)D: 2533(295310 row(s) affected)E: 2060(150003 row(s) affected)F: 2190The scalar CLR UDF function was significantly faster than the classicscalar UDF, even for this very simple function. Perhaps a more complexfunction would have shown even a greater difference. Based on this, Imust conclude that Erland was right. Of course, it's still faster tostick with basic built-in functions like CASE.In another test, I decided to run some queries to compare built-inaggregates vs. a couple of simple CLR aggregates as follows:(G) Calculate averages by group using the built-in AVG aggregate(H) Calculate averages by group using a CLR aggregate that similatesthe built-in AVG aggregate(I) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group (average excluding highestand lowest values) using built-in aggregates(J) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group using a CLR aggregatespecially designed for this purposeA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(59 row(s) affected)G: 313(59 row(s) affected)H: 890(59 row(s) affected)I: 216(59 row(s) affected)J: 846It seems that the CLR aggregates came with a significant performancepenalty over the built-in aggregates. Perhaps they would pay off if Iwere attempting a very complex type of aggregation. However, at thispoint I'm going to shy away from using these unless I can't find a wayto do the calculation with standard SQL.In a way, I'm happy that basic SQL still seems to be the fastest way toget things done.

I'm running into 'CLS-compliance' problems trying to use characters such as "+" and "-" as reporting fields. For example, Standard and Poors ratings have these characters to indicate a notch between main letter rating categories. I have reports that need to display distributions of these various ratings in column charts. However, the X axis labels refuse to print because of these characters!
Any suggestions? This is an awfully common type of labelling in this business!

How can I select data between a financial year. The financial year begin in july(7) and end in june(6).
Lets say I want all data between the begining of financial year (7) to January (1)
so I would select all data between 7 and 1. (6 months period)
and lets say I want all data between the beginning of financial year(7) to october (10) so I would just select all data between 7 and 10. (3 months period).
Below is data from a customer table.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with 3 fields: Contract_No, Start_Date, End_Date. I need to calculate how many of the days between the Start and End dates fall within each financial year (FY) beginning 1st April and ending 31st March.
So for example if the Contract Start_Date is 26/01/2012 and the End_Date is 20/05/2012 or is null then the number of days for 2012 FY is 49 (counting from 01/04/2012 to 20/05/2012).
If the End_Date is null for the same contract, then the number of days for 2012 FY would be 365.
Since the contract period from Start_Date to End_Date might span more than one or even several FY I need to be able to show this in columns seperately for each FY. What is the best way of achieving this?

I am using RS 2K5 to develop financial reports, with plenty of figures that must fit in a page.
I use tables for example. Fonts cannot be set smaller than 8pts.
I have also tried to decrease row height and to disable the "can grow to fit content" option, but of course in this way the text gets cut of in its lower part.
How can I do lines more compact? I need to reduce line spacing and to make the data more dense. Currently it looks very sparse.
Is it a known limitation for RS? Any workaround available? Any online example with dense reports?
Thank you.
EDIT: Please skip over this and go to the 2nd post. After writing this, I realized it may be too complicated to comprehend, so I tried to simplify with another example which is found in the 2nd post. Or if you want you can read this one and try to understand it.
I would like to go over a design we came up with to handle a certain reporting requirement from an OLAP cube to see if this is a good approach. Also, I would like to hear about other designs that we can consider.
Here is the condensed version of the requirement.
We are measuring the performance of a bunch of portfolios. So among other dimensions, we have a portfolio dimension that holds the list of portfolios we are tracking. In a typical portfolio analysis, an analyst almost always looks at a portfolio's measures along side a benchmark portfolio's measures. A benchmark is another portfolio against which a selected portfolio is compared. So, for a given portfolio, there is a determined benchmark portfolio.
For example, an analyst might want to look at a measure called Annual_Yield for a portfolio called Portfolio_A. There will be an attribute on the member Portfolio_A that tells us what its benchark portfolio is. That attribute will basically be another member from the portfolio dimension. So, as a function of what an analyst chooses as the first portfolio (the subject portfolio), the cube should be smart enought to know what to select as the second portfolio (the benchmark portfolio).
To implement this, I am proposing the following structure for the table that will create the portfolio dimension.
PortfolioID, PortfolioName, Attr1, Attr2, ..., AttrN, BenchMarkID
1, Portfolio_A, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
2, Porfolio_B, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
3, Portfolio_C, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
4, Portfolio_D, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
5, Portfolio_E, blah, blah, ...., blah, 6
6, Portfolio_F, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
So, the above data says that Portfolios A, B, and D uses Portfolio C as their benchmarks. And Portfolio E uses Portfolio F as its benchmark. Lastly, if a portfolio is used as a benchmark for other portfolios, then its BenchmarkID is null, meaning it doesn't get compared to anything, thus Portfolios C and F have null BenchmarkIDs. With this data, I would create a hierarchy in the portfolio dimension that has two levels. At the top level, there will be a portfolio and if that portfolio has a benchmark, then it will drill down to it.
With a portfolio dimension designed as such, I envision a fact table that looks like the following.
PortfolioID, SomeOtherDimIDs,....., Annual_Yield
1, , blah, ,....., 10%
2, , blah, ,....., 7%
3, , blah, ,....., 0%
4, , blah, ,....., 15%
5, , blah, ,....., 20%
6, , blah, ,....., 9%
So, going back to the original report which was looking at Annual_Yield by Portfolio_A, I would do an MDX statement such as
With Set [PortfolioAndBenchmark] As
DESCEDANTS(Portfolio_A)
Select
[Annual_Yield], [PortfolioAndBenchmark] On Columns,
Whatever Other Dimension On Rows
From
[Cube]
Does this make sense? The only concern I have is that I don't want the measures to aggregate along the portfolio hierarchy.
I am using MSSQL Server 2008R2 and I am interested in returning rows from a 'financial' table that fall within the current year (each row contains a 'Entered Date'). I am located in Australia so my financial year consists of all entries between the date 01/07/xx to the 30/06/yy.
Perhaps using the datediff() function, or other functions as required to achieve what I need?
I have a requirement to display the count of project data by their status (On Hold, In Progress, Pre-concept and Closed) for the current FY and Last FY based on column 'Financial Year' and 'Project Status'.
Financial Year column has a value in the following format (FY2011-12, FY2012-13, FY2013-14,FY2014-15, FY2015-16,FY2019-20 ,FY2020-21,FY2021-22)
I need to set the financial year value dynamically in above format for the last and current year (FY2013-14, FY2014-15) based on today's date and Financial Year is from July to Jun. For example,
When today's date is 28-06-2015 then it should set the current FY as FY2014-15 and Last Financial Year as FY2013-14When today's date is 28-06-2021 then it should set current FY as FY2020-21 and Last Financial Year as FY2019-20

Hello all,
Recently I changed over a ASP script from our old Access 97 database to our new SQL database. When I changed it over, some of my SQL pulls on my Active Server Page started to give me erros. One of them is the function
date(). When I used it pulling from Access like this :
strSQLQ = "SELECT * FROM cocoitem WHERE CustNum = '" & strcustnum & "' AND stat = 'C' AND [due-date] > DateAdd('yyyy', -1, Date()) Order By [cust-po], [due-date] ASC ;"
Then it worked fine. When I redirected the ASP to the new SQL server I recieved an error like this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
'Date' is not a recognized function name.
/scripts/order/shippingstatsclose.asp, line 45
So my question is, what is the SQL server equivalent of the function Date()?
Hi I have a problem which I’m not sure how to resolve!
I have a aspx with two drop down list;
1st one has (annual salary, daily salary, hourly rate)
2nd one has ( 0-4999, 5000-9999......)
The second one is generated by the value selected in the first one.
I have stored the values in a table (as nvarchar) and used sqldatasource to run a query, which matches the entry in the first box and fill the second drop down list accordingly.
How ever I have a problem, when I want some one to search for example; an average salary of 5000-9999, it should output entry's that have a similar daily rate, and hourly rate...
But I’m not sure how I can accomplish this, does any one have any ideas!
Many thanks
Hi,the Soundex search words that sounds similar.Does MS SQL Server has some function to make some intuitive search?For example, for search term database, it should return rows that contains: "database" word, but also rows that contains "Oracle", "MySQL", "MS SQL" etc. terms.

I am sorry to continue bothering this forum with the
continuation of this question but here it is. And thank you to Craig for
giving me the equivalent of the function Date() in SQL. Now when I pull from
the SQl Server with the old ASP pull with this statement using GETDATE()
strSQLQuery1 = "SELECT * FROM cocoitem WHERE CustNum = '" & strcustnum & "' AND (stat = 'O' OR stat = 'F') AND [due-date] > DateAdd('yyyy', -1, GETDATE()) Order By [cust-item], [due-date] ASC;"
I get this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Invalid parameter 1 specified for dateadd.

So I guess I need to also know the equivalent of DateAdd . Also, does anyone
know of a Access Function to Sql 7 function comparison chart so I can write
for the new database comprehendingly?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Hi,
I am still learning the bells and whistles of SQL Server and was wondering if I can find out the query that caused my trigger to fire, so that I can log this in another audit table.
I have an If Update ( My_Column ) trigger set up, where once an update happens to My_Column much information from the updated row along with , Host_Name and App_Name is sent. I also want to send the exact query used to update it, any ideas?
Any comments, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm moving some queries out of an Access front end and creating views out ofthem in SQL Server 2005 express. In some of the numeric fields, I use nzquite often, ( i.e. nz([MyField],0)) to return a zero if the field is null.Is there anything equivalent to this in SQL Server? Right now I'm usingCASE WHEN ... but it seems like an awful lot of script to write just toreplace null with a zero.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
