Format Masking For Creating Leading Periods
Dec 13, 2006
Is there an elegant way to fill the empty space leading a textbox in a table with periods, similar to a table of contents effect?
When I do not allow the textbox to grow and just append a long string of periods it looks fine in my report preview, but after I deploy everything appended after the primary field in that text box is missing?
My report has a lot of data to the right but it is collapsible so the fields to the left are a good distance away. This is why I am trying to include light visual aids that assist lining up data values. I am not stuck on the leading period idea but it seems the least cluttered.

I have a Column in my data that gives a financial period value in the YYYYMM format. i.e. an asset was re-valued in a particular period for example 201301. I need to find out the number(count) of periods(months) between another given period for example current period (201403) and the period provided in the table i.e. 201301.
Is this possible in the SQL Database?

I have a [Fin Period] column which outputs a number between 1 and 12 depending on the financial period. For numbers 0-9 this is output as a single digit. How can I format this so it places a 0 in front of these numbers but not in front of periods 10-12?

I am trying to output a number in a specific format. I am playing with CAST() and CONVERT() but have not been able to get what I need.
Current: 0.019891
Desired: 000199
It doesn't have to remain in a number format, as i will be output to a CSV in order to bulk load into another system.

A report is picking up some values from the body and displaying them in text boxes within the Page Header, via the ReportItems collection. The text boxes within the body have their format specified as #,###; (#,###) - so displaying negative values within brackets. If the following value is set for the Page Header text box:
="My Value" & " " & ReportItems!variance.Value
the value displayed is, for example:
(My Value (1,123
Hence the requested trailing bracket has been swapped to become a leading bracket. Whatever I've tried I cannot get the bracket in the correct place. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug?

I have AdventureWorks installed. I am using SQL Server 2005.
I need to import some large tab delimited text files into SQL. From the research i did I thought that using BCO would be the best solution becausr I will have to import these files and export in the same format.
I am attempting to follow the example at:
Creating a Format File
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191516.aspx
B. Creating a non-XML format file for character data
In my command window at C: I enter:
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department format nul -c -f Department-c.fmt -T
I was expecting to be prompted with questions about the source file and have a format file created. When i press enter nothing hallende. No errors. Nothing.
Can come one give a beginner the step by step on how to creat the format file and use it to import (and export would be nice too).

Howdy all. I havent used format files inside BCP in several years and am having trouble creating one now.
declare @exec varchar(1026)
set @exec = 'bcp faa_ivr.dbo.primary_informant format -SboxNameinstanceName -c -T -f\destinationFAAIVRprimary_informant_format.txt '
exec master..xp_cmdshell @exec
output
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 17
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 2
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
NULL
(5 row(s) affected)
I've tried brackets ([])around the box/ instance name. I've tried using the FQDN. I tried the SA account instead of WINNT authentication. All ideas are appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm Trying to replicate the creation of an "xml" file that is currently created using a C++ application. I want to take that application out of the picture, but need to create the same format XML file because a step later in the production process uses this file, and I cannot change it.
The output format I am looking for is:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FUNDS>
<AMRGX>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</AMRGX>
<AHERX>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</AHERX>
<AMRVX>
<NAME>AMERICAN INVESTORS GROWTH FUND</NAME>
</AMRVX>
.
.
.
</FUNDS>The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get the level/node of the fund symbol (AMRGX, AHERX, and AMRVX in the example above) as it needs to be. I think this must be some non-standard use of XML, since the tag is really the data itself (?)
The closest I have been able to get so far is:
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AMRGX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</FUNDS>
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AHERX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</FUNDS>
.
.
.As you can see (hopefully) I am able to get the data I need but cannot get:
(1) the FUNDS tag(s) to be the very highest level/root.
nor (2) the SYMBOL part (tag label?) to be the actual variable stock fund.
Am I 'splaining this well enough? I don't necessarily need all the code, since I know I haven't given enough info to help with that, but my basic question is - - Is it possible to get a variable TAG based on the table DATA?
I want my SYMBOL tag to be the actual SYMBOL for the stock fund.
Confused? Not as much as I am *LOL* I am new to the use of all but XML EXPLICIT use, so any help would be appreciated - at least regarding my two formatting questions.
Yes, I have (and am still) searching around BOL for my answers, but so I have found nothing that helps me out. Meanwhile, suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

I am working with SRS 2005 SP1 which no longer has the "ALL" option available on parameters. I am trying to create an "ALL" entry in a picklist so it can be used in a where clause for a dataset. I have a dataset with a union statement that creates a list of CRM usersids and names and an entry with a dummy guid with the name "All". Parameter is defined as a string type, with a dataset providing a list of users (label field) and their corresponding GUID value (value field), along with the an "All" entry.
select systemuserid, fullname
from FilteredSystemUser
Union
Select '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' as systemuserid, ' All' as fullname
order by fullname
The issue I am running into is implementing logic in another dataset referencing my parameter.
All is fine in the where clause if it is structured "where ownerid in (@Users)" but if I try to add logic to check for the "All" option "where (ownerid in (@Users) or @Users = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000') it errors out.
How do you impement "All" when you're dealing with a GUID type field? Thanks.

We are in the process of doing a database redesign. Our system architect is planning to a bit masked integer field vs. lookup tables. I personally have never used bit masking at the db level. I was wondering if this is a good design choice.
I should also note that our application will be db agnostic so it will need to work on SQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc.

Our application running on SQL server 2008 since its storing confidential data we would like to mask the sensitive data in non prod environments.Currently I would like to mask data for one table and their 4 columns data. Basically I would like to know how to do this and how it’s being consumed by downstream systems?Are downstream needs to undo the mask data on their end?

Anyone who knows a smarter way to select a special part of a text string.
A have done like this now but mabye the textstring changes. I know that the GO02 in the future will expand.
KnowgoodP_GO02_AA_K_20070807_2010_L.BBB
But the underscore _ sign is like a seperator and will always be there to separate the words.
I need the 20070807_2010 and fomat to 2007-08-07 20:10
SELECT @state = STATE,
@thetime = CONVERT(char(20),STATE_TIME,20),
@id = ID,
@textstrr = TEXTSTRRWHERE SUBSTRING(FILENAME, 21,4)+ '-'+ SUBSTRING(FILENAME, 25,2)+'-'+SUBSTRING(FILENAME, 27,2)+' '+ SUBSTRING(FILENAME, 30,2)+ ':'+ SUBSTRING(FILENAME, 32,2)+':00' between @starttime and @theEndTime

I need to give the below script which contains CREATE CREDENTIAL query to an app team.
CREATE CREDENTIAL crdntl WITH IDENTITY = '<service_acct>',
SECRET = '<pwd>'
GO
My concern is i don't want the password to be visible. Basically i want to use this credential to create a proxy which is then used to run SQL Agent backupjob on number of SQL servers. Also, i cannot leave the SECRET value as blank (as the MSDN suggests.)
Is there any way to mask the password OR any other alternative solution.

I have a dataset which contains sensitive person information that can be sliced by various demographic groups.
When I use PowerPivot to query it if I use more than say 5 groups the resulting value within a cell may fall below an acceptable value of say 10 and render the group of people identifiable.
What I would like is some way to generate the lowest group such that any combination < 10 returns 10 and any hierarchy/group above the detail uses this new value for its summary.
Here is an example of how it would look now (I have used only 3 groups Gender followed by Age group and Age to keep it simple):
Gender Age group Age Count
Male 32
20-25 30
21 9
24 10
25 11
26-30 2
30 2
This is how I would like it to look:
Gender Age group Age Count
Male <41
20-25 <31
21 <10
24 10
25 11
26-30 <10
30 <10
I have actually tried to do it myself but the DAX expression is beyond me. I use ISFILTERED(<column name>) or HASONEVALUE to get the lowest level group (Age) to work but of course I can't get the levels above it in the hierarchy to calculate based upon the interim result...
IF(HASONEVALUE(Measure[Age]),if([Count]>5,[Count],if(ISBLANK([Count]),0,5)),BLANK())

Hi, this is my first post here, i'm working on a view wich I have to display the results by period.
1st period - Current month
2nd period - Last month
3rd period - Month before last
and so on.
How can I achieve this? of course I have a column wich has the date I want to use, I was thinking on semthing like:
case when DATEDIFF(M, TRXDATE, getdate()) <= 0 then ammount END as Period1
(TRXDATE and ammount are columns on my table)
Any ideas? would this work?
Thanks for your replies

I have to do alot of date calculations. For some calculations, I can use the datediff or dateadd function to get a Time Period between 2 dates.
Now for some dates I need to calculate the time between 2 dates BUT:
a week = 5 days starting from Monday to Friday
a day starts at 8AM and ends at 6PM (so a day is 10 hours)
You can probably calculate this manually but what about summer to winter hour and the month Februari when it has 29 days etc.
So I was thinking ... is it possible to calculate the Time Period for weeks with 24h a day / 7 days AND then transform that Time Period to a time period for weeks with 10h a day / 5 days ?
If anyone has an idea to solve this, either with functions or an other way, please let me know! Thanks

I find that dynamic masking does not work on joining tables in SQL Server 2016 CTP2.1.
For examples, I create the following table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment](
[StaffID] [nvarchar](11) NOT NULL,
[ApptSeqNo] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[ReportingDept] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[Code] ...
Then I apply mask on StaffID and RankDesc.
alter [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment] alter column [StaffID] add masked with (function='default()')
alter [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment] alter column [RankDesc]
add masked with (function='default()')
When User A logged in and query on HRM_StaffAppointment, StaffID and RankDesc are perfectly masked. But User A can remove the masking using another table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[staffID](
[staffID] [nvarchar](255)
) ON [PRIMARY]
select a.*
from dbo.HRM_StaffAppointment as a
left join dbo.staffID as b
on a.StaffID = b.StaffID
It looks like a security hole to me, or I'm doing anything wrong?

Yesterday - Loans/CDs started yesterday(calander date..not last 24 hours)
MTD - " " First of this month to yesterday
Previous Month - " " during previous month
YTD - " " Loans/CDs started from 1 of this year to yesterday
Loan and cd states are Commenced and Closed
Based on this I have to create a report. But this time format seems to be really complex.

I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.

Guys
Date brain killer - I have a startdate and enddate and need, for a given period length in months, to identify the number
of periods betwen the startdate and enddate
so for example
DECLARE @Periods TABLE
(
StartDate datetime,
Enddate datetime,
NumberOfMonthsInPeriod INT ,
TotPeriodsINT
)
-- Initial data
insert @Periods
(
StartDate ,
Enddate ,
NumberOfMonthsInPeriod ,
TotPeriods-- for this illustration, initialised to 0 but need to be UPDATEd as per detail below
)
select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
1 -- 1 month period
0
union all
select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
3 -- 3 month period
0
union all
select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
6 -- 6 month period
0
The following rules regarding periods apply
Each 1 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is as would be expected ie
01-Jan - 31 Jan
01-Feb - 28-Feb (ie 1st March - 1 day which would deal with leap years - dateadd(...)
and so on to December
Each 3 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is one of the following 'bands' per year
01-Jan - 31-Mar
01-Apr - 30-Jun
01-Jul - 30-Sep
01-Oct - 31-Dec
Each 6 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is one of the following
01-Jan - 30-Jun
01-Jul - 31-Dec
I need to derive TotPeriods as follows:
For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 1, the first period ie the one the start date falls within is 01-Sep-2005 to 30-Sep-2005, second is 01-Oct-2005 - 31-Oct-2005 and so on until
last period ie the one the end datye falls within is 01-Apr-2009 - 30-Apr-2009, a TotPeriods value of 44
For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 3, first period is 01-Jul-2005 to 30-Sep-2005, second is 01-Oct-2005 - 31-Dec-2005 and so on until
last period is 01-Apr-2009 - 30-Jun-2009, a TotPeriods value of 16
For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 6, first period is 01-Jul-2005 to 31-Dec-2005, second is 01-Jan-2006 - 30-Jun-2006 and so on until
last period is 01-Jan-2009 - 30-Jun-2009, a TotPeriods value of 8
Hope this is clear and thanks in advance

Your help is greatly appreciated. How do you query each one of the following:
1) SELECT FieldValue WHERE DateTime is from 8:30AM - 12:00PM and 6:00PM - 9:30PM on Mondays thru Fridays (i.e. exclude Sat & Sun) for the whole month of January 2008.
2) SELECT FieldValue WHERE DateTime is from 9:30PM - 8:30AM on Mondays thru Fridays, AND ALL-DAY on Saturdays & Sundays for the whole month of January 2008.

For each of the items I am summing, all I have is a datetime of when the event happened. This is a relational database (not a cube), so I am struggling with how to create the 'buckets' based on period. I think the best way is to dynamically create the buckets based on a given date. Is there a way in RS that it can do this bucketing for you?
Thanks, Mike
