Format Function In SQL
Jul 23, 2005
Hi ... i'm sorry to hassle this user group but i have an urgent need
for some code - i have tried and tried to find a solutionn elsewhere -
but the problem is i don't really know what i am looking for.
What is the equivalent SLQ code for the below statement which works in
MS Access?
Format(7,"00")
Result: 07
or alternatively ...
what i am actually trying to do is return the string yyyymm based on
the current date. eg 200506 (June 2006)
Is there a simple way of doing this?
The code i am currently using is
CONVERT (char, DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE())) + CONVERT (char, DATEPART(mm,
GETDATE()))
Result: 2005 !!!!
At least i thought i would get 20056. But obv what i am aiming for is
200506.
Thanks in advance.

I have this piece of SQL code coming from Access:
Format([Jobnumber2],"00000") AS [Job Number]
What is the translation in SQL server language? I can't find the equivalent of the Format function!
Otherwise, is there a way to use ASP code to format the number in the way I'd like to?
Cheers,
C

HI,I'm pretty new to MS SQL,My problem is setting ....=Format$(Date(),"mm" & "/1/" & "YYYY")(Which is from my MS ACCESS database)as my default value in MS SQL. How can I do this since format() doesnot seem to be a function that is in MS SQL. The above function worksgreat in MS ACCESS, but not in MS SQL.thanks

Hi,
with the bcp (bulk copy program) I output some data to a file. The data consists of two columns which are datetime values and one column with the difference in time. For the difference calculation I use the DATEDIFF function. This function can only give the diff back in minutes or hours and not in a time format.
Can I use a function to format the result or do I have to do it manually?
I managed to do the calculation manually by using the % (mod) operator, but then I have the time in this format 0:0 where it should be in 00:00 or 00:00:00. In that case I need a function or a way to add preceding zero's to the values.
Note that the formatting or manual calculation should be done in the SELECT clause to be able to use the bcp tool.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I came upon a strange behavior of Format function in report, which I'm unable to explain.
I have some double value, which I want to format. E.g. the value is in db field "Users" and is 303870
1)
If I set a Value property for the field to
=Fields!Users.Value or CDec(=Fields!Users.Value)
//the value is already double so the CDec has no effect
and Format property for the field to
=Format(me.Value,"#,#") or =Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
than the number which is visible in the report is 3303,873870 ???
2)
If I put in the Value property
=Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
and the Format property is empty
than the output is ok 303,870, however this is not desired, because the value is than handled as string
3)
If I put in the Value property
=Fields!Users.Value
and into Format property
=Format(CStr(me.Value),"#,#")
than the output is ok again.
As I understand, the Format should be same as in VB (I am actually C# programmer, not very familiar with VB) so I tried to use Format in VB on double value, and the output was as expected (e.g. 303,870), but when I used to a string I got only the style (e.g. #,#).
So I wonder, the ReportingServices Format function works correctly only with string input? But why than works the example 2)? Or do I have somewhere a mistake?
Thanks for the advice.

Hi guys n gals !
I am having a few problems manipulating the results of my data reader,To gather the data I need my code is:
// database connection SqlConnection dbcon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["dbcon"]);
// sql statement to select latest news item and get the posters name SqlCommand rs = new SqlCommand("select * from tblnews as news left join tblmembers as members ON news.news_posted_by = members.member_idno order by news.news_idno desc", dbcon); // open connection dbcon.Open();
// execute SqlDataReader dr = rs.ExecuteReader();
// send the data to the repeater repeater_LatestNews.DataSource = dr; repeater_LatestNews.DataBind();
Then I am using: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "news_comments")%> in my repeater.What I need to do is pass the "news_comments" item to a function I created which will then write the result. The code for my function is:
// prevent html public string StripHtml(string data) { // grab the data string theData = data;
// replace < with &alt; theData = Regex.Replace(theData, "<", "<"); // return result return theData; }
But I am having problms in doing this,Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing ???

I'm querying a database table that creates a time stamp in seconds only. I have a starting time of
1099725928 = 11/6/2004 12:25:28 AM. So that if another entry is made 1 second later the time stamp value entered into the table is 1099725929. The front end application does the converstion from the seconds counter to the datetime format. The query I am writing calls information from this table for a different application that does not have the conversion capability. If I know the starting point (I don't want to create a conversion table) which is 1099725928 = 11/6/2004 12:25:28 AM, is it possible to write into my query script a function to convert the seconds value to the correct datetime format? It would need to accurately account for leapyear and even/odd months.

Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?

Hi all,
Currently, I am using the SSRS 2005 and try to toggle the report columns similar to Excel's column grouping function. Users can expand "+" / collapse "-" the columns in the render excel report. It works fine when I excute the tabular report in the web yet the toggle function is missing when I render the report to an Excel report. I am not sure the toggle function will only work for the row items or both as the excel report can keep the toggle function for the row items. Please help.

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.

Kuldeep Chauhan

I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate,
convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date
