How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
I have SSAS cube with Fact that include values in kg (e.g. 25.3, 32.5, 18,3...).What kind of attribute or other solution should I create If I want to filter those kg's in browser with integer values e.g.:weight between 10 and 25
Hi All I'm getting an error that says that this can't be converted to an integer.

I have the following stored procedure for creating a transaction record and after inserting the record, the transaction id is returned.-----------------------------------------------------DECLARE @TransactionID int <------ INSERT statement (after inserting the record, select the identity ID) ---------> Select @TransactionID = @@Identity RETURN------------------------------------------------------...Dim transactionID As Integerconnection.Open()Dim reader As SqlDataReaderreader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)Dim p3 As New SqlParameter("@TransactionID", SqlDbType.Int)p3.Direction = ParameterDirection.OutputtransactionID = Convert.ToInt16(p3.Value)connection.Close()...I wanna retrieve the transactionID of the newly inserted record so that I can use it in my next step of inserting a new record to another table which has reference to the transactionID as a foreign key. However, I encountered error and suspect that it is due to the conversion of the output to Integer as it worked when I tested using dummy Integers.I tried many different ways of conversion but couldn't resolve the error. Could anyone help?
Hi folks, I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits) expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.) I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g. select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode gives the error Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org as I don't read this board.

In a table, I store an integer to represent a day of the week (1 = sunday ) and then in procedures, compare that to datepart(dw, getdate()) to do alternative tasks on certain days.
If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?
declare @found int; set @found = 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId='+0+' and UserId='+171 exec (@found) delete from StickyContent where sid = @found

I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00. example of data: 0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99 222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00 0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89 2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99 00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99 -109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't. i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.

I have a Data Control Task that has a OLE DB Source and corresponding OLE DB Destination Data Flow Task. In the referenced source table there exists a field defined as a varchar(12), in the corresponding destination table it is defined as a binary(12). How do I perform this conversion?
I tried inserting a Data Conversion Task and assigning the new data type as byte stream[DT_BYTES] and a Length = 12, but this was a bust. Output test is as follows:
Error: 0xC020901C at DFT - Windows, OLE_SRC - Windows [1]: There was an error with output column "Payload" (40) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (12). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?
I am querying DB2 from SSRS. I get an interger back that represents a time like this: HHMMSS (The data type in DB2 is an integer.) I would like to make this representation of the time display a little more friendly. Does anyone have a good idea on how I can change the query or SSRS format to display semi-colons to break up the hours, minutes and seconds? Also, the other issue is that since I don't get leading zeros back....they probably need to be added to this value if the value is not a full 6 characters.
Hello,I'm trying to decifer the data in the table that stores the data in thebinary format. All numbers are placed in varbinary fields.

Hi all, I defined an user string type varible in the package as AccountLen. I am trying to use this varible in the Expression of Derived Column transformation. I want to retrieve a part of column, i.e: Right(Column1, @AccountLen), this is always wrong because the AccountLen is string type. How I can convert it to the numeric so that can be used in the RIGHT function? Thanks
