Anyone know why my xls does not have number formats when exporting from a report with a matrix?
I keep having to do 'paste special multiply by 1' on the whole thing.
Ridiculous!

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?

Hi,
I'm using Reporting Services in conjunction with Analysis Services.
The problem I'm having is formatting numbers to be dollar amounts. I know how to set this in Reporting Services and when a data source was regular SQL, then everything was just fine. However, when I switch to Analysis Services the number would just stay the same.
i.e. "60.2" instead of "$60.20". The only thing I can think of is if Analysis Services is returning the number as a string for some reason, and RS won't format strings for currency.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

How do I get data that looks like 200,000 returned as a currency format?
Here is what I have in my select statement it doesn't work and can't seem to find an example that works or maybe I just have it set up wrong?
'$' + convert(Sum(OrderHeader.SubTotal)as money) as 'Total Sales'
Ultimately I have a field that is returned and it exists on a reporting services report. I can't find a way just to format the field as currency through the properties either would that be the better way to do it if there is a way?

The $ must appears only on certain total levels and has to be in the same position in the column regardless of the value for financial reporting. In other words, I don't want the $ to float next the most significant digit in the value. See the example below from Excel. Using an IIF statement I can concatenate the $ to the string when it is a certain group level. However, I have tried many various formatting strings but can't find one that results in a fixed number of characters so that the $ will always appears in the same position in the column.
Anyone have a way to do this?
General Government
222
3.45%
$ 405,590,654
1.98%
Public Buildings
194
3.01%
375,453,314
1.83%
Other Facilities
22
0.34%
21,324,140
0.1%
Property Acquisition
6
0.09%
8,813,200
0.04%
Grand Total
6,439
100.0%
$ 20,507,977,298
100.0%
I did get this to work by adding a column to the grouping. That somehow causes the heading size to increase (??) and takes much more time than coding a format code in an expression (I have many reports to do).

It's probably right underneath my nose, but I cannot seem to be able to set the currency format.
My Stored procedure returns an integer that represents a cash value in pennies (like cents).
I then divide this value by 100 and convert it to a Double, so its value is represented in Pounds.
This all works fine, my problem is that when I wrap the above logic in a FormatCurrency, I get a dollar ($) sign before it. How can I change this so that it gives a pound sign (£)?

Please help!!!
I'm building a database that I have a form. This form allows user input the invoice amount field which is the currency field. My ultimate goal is allow user put in the postive numbers and it will store as negative amount. Please let me know if there is the way to do that.

Ok, when I bind a textbox in my FormView I'm changing the format to
currency (<%# Bind("TotalValue","{0:c}") %>). When I click
Update I get "Input string was not in a correct format" since
TotalValue is Int32 data type.
Shouldn't it convert it back to Int32 when it updates the db? Or do I have to do it manually, and if so how?

Hello Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :) Anyone know the easiest way to get from:123456789to123,456,789in 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!

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.
I would really appriciate your Help

Im using , FORMAT_STRING="###,###.##" on the definition of a calculated member. When testing the query in SSMS, the formatting looks right, but when I run the query in SSRS it looks like its not coming over. I suppose I can apply my own formatting on the report, but im just wondering if this is by design or lack of ?

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

Using SQL 7 with an Access 2000 MDB front end with ODBC linked tables.Have a DateModified field which previously was smalldatetime. Changed overthe weekend to datetime. Field is updated with a trigger that sets value toGetDate().One record in the table now cannot be updated. In Access, get message:[microsoft][odbc sql server driver]fractional truncation (#0)[microsoft][odbc sql server driver]timeout expired (#0)In QA (using Update), no message; just hangs.Note that many records in the table have been modified since the change, andthere doesn't seem to be a problem. It just seems to be this one record(possible others that we haven't come across yet) that will not allowupdates.Any ideas how to resolve this?Thanks!Neil

I have a field of type Real in my SQL 2K database. I stored a value of..35 in the field.When I "Open Table"->"Return All Rows" in the Enterprise Manager I getback .35 for the field value.I went to The SQL Query Analyzer and executed the following T-SQL:SELECT fieldFROM tableI got back 0.34999999 for the field.When running stored procs against the field I also get back 0.34999999.This is causing problems in my app. I can use the Round T-SQLstatement to get back the value I expect, but this causes appdevelopment problems. For a goof I put 1.35 in the field and T-SQL didreturn 1.35. This problem only seems to occur with 0.nnn values. Ialso tried a float data type for the field but I had the same problemsI had with real.Why is T-SQL returning 0.34999999 for my field?

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?

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.
Thanks for any help

I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?
