Format Numbers With Commas
Jul 4, 2007
Hello
Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :)
Anyone know the easiest way to get from:
123456789
to
123,456,789
in 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!

If I pull a value from a MSSQL field with is defined as money, how can I get it to display in a textbox with commas and NO decimals?
87000.0000 = 87,000
I can currently remove the decimals like below but is there a way to add the commas as well?
decRevenue = drMyData("Revenue")
txtRevenue.Text = decRevenue.ToString("f0")
It current shows "87000".

Hi all i'm having an issues when i trying to do a report:
i make a report and there is a field which contains data that can be numeric and numeric with letter: "77756" or "345WS" when i export my report to excel i and i open it i get like a make in the upper left coner of the cells that have only numbers asking me to convert this to numeric format, but this think is that i need this values to be string so i can apply filtering. is there a way that i can format my cell to string so the excel take it like that and allowme to do the autoifilter.

if
(datalength
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD])
) = 1)
then
(0 ||
cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
else
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
Goal:
To be able to tell the Period number ([PD]) to change from an integer to a var_char so that it can be concatenated with the Fiscal Year. I.e. Fiscal Year || Period number to produce the following results.
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc……
Status of Problem:
The issue is that I can only get it done to the point to where the Fiscal Year || Period number yields the following results:
20061
200610
200611
200612
20062
Etc….
This is as issue since I am trying to get all the information from the past to a certain year and period. Using a filter that says
Fiscal Year + Period Number <= ?Prompt_Fiscal_Year? + ?Prompt_Period_Number?
So if I enter Year: 2007 Period 3
I should get:
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc…….
2006 11
2006 12
2007 01
2007 02
2007 03
Can you please let me know if my thinking is off or if my SQL is wrong, Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any trick to convert numbers to csv files. I don't have any control to format the numbers.
Source: Sql server
for example:
select cast( 1 as float)/ cast(201 as float)
Destination:CSV file
the output of the file is 4,9751243E-3
i don't want to have scientific notation on the number. I want the result to be 0,00497512437810945. how can i do it?
I tried to change the type of destination columns to String or numeric but nothing works. what is the influence of changing data type in the destination columns e the output to files?
I tried using convert but with the same results.
Can it be because of local settings or something else?
thanks

Program Descritpion: Our product allows our customers to enter their product catalogs into our ASP.NET pages and we save the data using SQL Server 2005. Customer use GridViews to edit their data and teh data is broken into manageable groupings (called Field Groups) stored as meta-data in SQL Server Tables. Then when a user wants to edit a set of data they choose the Field Group and we dynamically generate a data source and a gridview, bind them together, and our users update their data. A bit more complicated but that's teh gist.
Another thing they can do, and where our problem occurs, is they can print reports or do exports into excel using this data. Since there are so many fields, they use the Field Groups to select which fields they want included so everything needs to be built dynamcially, at runtime, using the Field Group meta-data. Essentially, I want my grid to have these 10 fields.
Problem:For the export we generate an XML data source using FOR XML in SQL Sprocs. The xml is pulled into a xmldatadocument, trasnformed with an xsl file into an Excel XML Spreadsheet. Our problem is that FOR XML is generating our XML real numbers in scientific format. The xsl "format-number" function does not recognize scientific format and returns NaN (not a number) instead of the value in my spreadsheet. If I leave it blank I get the scientific number but Excel doesn't format it correctly, the cell has an error tag that wants me to choose Number stored as text or convert to a number. I need it to show up on teh Excel form already formatted without that message.
I can't change the DataType of the field in SQL, too many other things depend on it and it needs to be a real. I can't use CONVERT(decimal,fieldName) in SQL because the SQL string is dynmically generated using Dynamic SQL and most of the fields are not real. When we build the Field List we just have field names, we can't check anything to add CONVERT functions to only real fields.
Is there any way to force the XML output to not be scientific for the entire document? Or another function in XSL I'm unaware of (pretty new to xsl)? Or perhaps something I can do in the XML Spreadsheet tags to force the conversion?

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-
The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have an excel export with numeric values. When the SSIS package writes into the excel it treats all data types as strings and attaches an apostrophe in the beginning. I tried formatting the excel sheet with the number data type and saving it . It doesnt work.
Other strange thing is that when I go into the advanced editor for the excel destination and look into the properties of the external columns all of them have the data type as Unicode String[DT_WSTR] irrespective of what the data type is from the input.The UI allows me to change it to numeric for numeric columns without any error but the value is not saved at all which is very frustrating. I also tried changing it in the xml file of the package, it some how seems to overwrite it after validation. It would be really nice if it threw an error saying that it cannot be changed.
Anyways there seems to be no way of changing the destination data type if it s an existing file and if I create a new excel sheet there is no way of formatting data. Is there any way out?
Thanks

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.

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 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.

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

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,
Bryan Ziel

I 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'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.
