Format Numbers With Commas
Jul 4, 2007Hello 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!

Formatting Numbers In A Mixed Column (numbers In Some Cells Strings In Other Cells) In Excel As Numbers
Feb 1, 2007I 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?

Mar 11, 2008
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.

Query Using Commas
Mar 12, 2007Hi,
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.

Commas In The Result Set
Sep 4, 2007
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.
Generate List Of All Numbers (numbers Not In Use)
Feb 21, 2007I 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?
Dataflow To Excel - Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers Excel Cell Error
Mar 27, 2007I'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.

BCP And Commas/double-quotes
Jul 30, 1999Hello 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
How To Concatenate Several Fields Together With Commas
Nov 17, 2014I 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"

Because the data contains commas, I've had to change the data type to varchar. 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.

Selecting Data Seperated By Commas
Jun 3, 2008Have a column in my DB called _Venue, which has been populated with address information separated by commas, like this:

How To Eliminate The Commas From The End In Sql Query When The Column Value Is Null
Jun 26, 2007HI
I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this
Putting Commas Between Select Statement Values
Jan 12, 2005Hello,
This may be a strange request, but I am going to ask about it anyways.
Say for example if I have a table named TEST and in the table there is a column named NUMBERS, such that it is like this:
NUMBERS
1
2
3
4
How could I use a select statement in a way that a comma would seperate every return value, such that if I go 'Select NUMBERS from TEST' I would get:
1,2,3,4
Instead of:
1
2
3
4
Any ideas?
Thanks
Removing Commas From Column - Now It's A Mile Long
Jun 24, 2007Hello,
I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME:
1. Why is the column now bigger?
2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?
I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.
Example query and result before REPLACE:
select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails
ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Example query and result using REPLACE:
select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails
NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns
Thanks

How To Split Names Seperated By Commas And Rejoin Them...
Mar 11, 2008I use SQL Server 2000.
I have some names stored in a table in the following format...
eg
"Royales, Jon"
"Smith, Alan"
"Jones, Tom"
what I would like to see is...
"Jon Royales"
"Alan Smith"
"Tom Jones"
I assume I should search the string for a comma (,) and use split and then rejoin the values. I need to do this as part of my select statement... is it possible?
I have searched the forums for similar posts but didn't find anything helpful.
