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?
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 am using sqlserver 2005 and want to generate unique numbers for all the records in a table using sql.
Something like table A has
Code:
FRUITS
-------------
Oranges
Mangoes
Apricots
....
I want to write a sql query that does something like
SELECT convert(varchar(8),getdate(),12)+'000001' my_number,
fruits
from table A
so the output is
[code]
my_number Fruits
080501000001 Oranges
080501000002 Mangoes
080501000003 Apricots
[code]
is there a way to do this without resorting to identity columns
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?

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
My problem is one of my query is returing party_codes . now i also want a column which returns serial numbers along with it . the serial numbers are not stored anywhere. they should be autogenerated. My query is combining two different databases and its using union in it so i can not use count in it . Is there any other way i can acheive . for eg Now my query output is party_code ---------- R06048 R06600 R06791 (3 row(s) affected) I want it like party_code serial number ---------- ------------- R06048 1 R06600 2 R06791 3 (3 row(s) affected)
The serial number column should be auto generated in the select statement it self Is there any system rowid i can use . Please suggest

A table I'm working with has a varchar column containing a comma-delimited string of numbers, which match up to smallint codes in another table. I gather this is someone's implementation of a many-to-many relationship. :)
Using SQL Server 2008 and wondering if there's a special trick to using a string list of numbers with IN() URL...converting the string into a temp table[/url] but I'd just like to make sure there isn't a quicker, easier approach, or if that's it.

I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef
HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE
HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE
HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE

HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ
HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ
HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE
Jim 4444/
6666
Bob 5555
7777
--BookingRef FGHIJ
Jenny 8888/
9999/

I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
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.
Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners
num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6
33 52 47 23 17 28
... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.
Hi..
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
Can any1 please help me out with this ASAP??
Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?
View 6 Replies View RelatedTrying to build a list of order numbers based on stock availability.

I have a sales report that includes dollar amount, tonnage, and profit margin among other things. They are currently sorted by tonnage sold from highest to lowest. I'd like to be able to place a number in a column counting 1 up for tonnage ranking. I'd also like to get a number ranking for sales amount ranking along with profit margin ranking. The most tonnage sold might not have been the biggest sale nor had the highest profit margin.
Does this sound like something that can be done within SSRS?
I should ad I'm runing MDX queries against a cube so I can't use T-SQL for ranking.
Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.

I needed to come up with an algorithm to create unique user- friendly account numbers such as AC0000000001, AC0000000002, etc...Where they increment by 1. I created a SQL function that retrieves the previous number generated, adds 1 to it, inserts the new value into the table, then returns the new value. I started thinking, what if the function is ran at the same time? What if function # 1 creates the new number, and function #2 creates a new number as well before function #1 inserts it? Is this a possible scenario? If so, how do I lock the process until the function completes to prevent this? Thanks for any help you provide.

I am developing a ASP.NET application using SQL Server as my database.
I want to create a number that is unique.
The number will have 8 digits.
first 2 digits correspond to year. ex:04 or 03
the next 6 digits start with 000001 and it should get added for each new entry of data.
i am not able to generate number in the way i said. I am relatively new to SQL. so any suggestions as how to go about solving the problem???. Are there any samples/codes available for this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks,

Looking for a way to round numbers to a specified number of significant digits. The ROUND function rounds to a specific decimal place but does not take into account the level of significance of the remaining numbers. (i.e.
ROUND(7.12435,2)=7.12000) The type of function I need would round the number in the following manner: SigFigRound(7.12435,3)=7.12 or
SigFigRound(7.12345,1)=7.
Any solutions?
Hello,

when I get the result the numbers are being truncated

Hi All,
After working out the basics and getting a report to give me back rows based upon a dropdown list, i know want to ask how do i show the sum of values for a customer.
So the out put would look something like this
Customer Total
0001 12234.56
0002 232.98
0003 456.78
I have two tables "customer" and "trades" i all ready have them linked and giving me all the individual items, oh and i have got it doing BETWEEN to dates, but i would really like to know how to show just the TOTAL trades for each cutomer on each line not every single trade for the customer.
Many thanks for any help with this
Dave C :confused:
I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE ITEMS ([ITEMID] int, [itRULE] varchar(1))
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (11, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (12, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (21, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (22, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (31, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (32, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (41, 0)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (42, 0)
-- Those works and gives me 11,12,21,22
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (2,3)
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN ('2','3')
-- This doesn't works
declare @Rule varchar(10)
set @Rule='2,3'
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (@Rule)
Any idea?
I don't mind to change the data type if it works.
