I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this piece of SQL code coming from Access:
Format([Jobnumber2],"00000") AS [Job Number]
What is the translation in SQL server language? I can't find the equivalent of the Format function!
Otherwise, is there a way to use ASP code to format the number in the way I'd like to?

How can I do this since format() doesnot seem to be a function that is in MS SQL. The above function worksgreat in MS ACCESS, but not in MS SQL.thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
with the bcp (bulk copy program) I output some data to a file. The data consists of two columns which are datetime values and one column with the difference in time. For the difference calculation I use the DATEDIFF function. This function can only give the diff back in minutes or hours and not in a time format.
Can I use a function to format the result or do I have to do it manually?
I managed to do the calculation manually by using the % (mod) operator, but then I have the time in this format 0:0 where it should be in 00:00 or 00:00:00. In that case I need a function or a way to add preceding zero's to the values.
Note that the formatting or manual calculation should be done in the SELECT clause to be able to use the bcp tool.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I came upon a strange behavior of Format function in report, which I'm unable to explain.
I have some double value, which I want to format. E.g. the value is in db field "Users" and is 303870
1)
If I set a Value property for the field to
=Fields!Users.Value or CDec(=Fields!Users.Value)
//the value is already double so the CDec has no effect
and Format property for the field to
=Format(me.Value,"#,#") or =Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
than the number which is visible in the report is 3303,873870 ???
2)
If I put in the Value property
=Format(Fields!Users.Value,"#,#")
and the Format property is empty
than the output is ok 303,870, however this is not desired, because the value is than handled as string
3)
If I put in the Value property
=Fields!Users.Value
and into Format property
=Format(CStr(me.Value),"#,#")
than the output is ok again.
As I understand, the Format should be same as in VB (I am actually C# programmer, not very familiar with VB) so I tried to use Format in VB on double value, and the output was as expected (e.g. 303,870), but when I used to a string I got only the style (e.g. #,#).
So I wonder, the ReportingServices Format function works correctly only with string input? But why than works the example 2)? Or do I have somewhere a mistake?
Thanks for the advice.
How to get this out put.
Details:
declare @deadline Datetime = '2014-03-23 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),@deadline, 100) AS DateConvert
----With this I am able to produce that like
----o/p: Mar 23 2014 3:30PM
declare @deadline1 Datetime = '2014-03-03 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),@deadline1, 100) AS DateConvert
--o/p: Mar 3 2014 3:30PM
--expected O/p: Mar 03 2014 03:30PM
What is the correct date format to achieve this.

Hi guys n gals !
I am having a few problems manipulating the results of my data reader,To gather the data I need my code is:
// database connection SqlConnection dbcon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["dbcon"]);
// sql statement to select latest news item and get the posters name SqlCommand rs = new SqlCommand("select * from tblnews as news left join tblmembers as members ON news.news_posted_by = members.member_idno order by news.news_idno desc", dbcon); // open connection dbcon.Open();
// execute SqlDataReader dr = rs.ExecuteReader();
// send the data to the repeater repeater_LatestNews.DataSource = dr; repeater_LatestNews.DataBind();
Then I am using: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "news_comments")%> in my repeater.What I need to do is pass the "news_comments" item to a function I created which will then write the result. The code for my function is:
// prevent html public string StripHtml(string data) { // grab the data string theData = data;
// replace < with &alt; theData = Regex.Replace(theData, "<", "<"); // return result return theData; }
But I am having problms in doing this,Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing ???
I have to figure out the items that Legal Name implies individual but Legal Entity Structure indicates a incorporation type. In this sample, you can see Alexander, Justin N. is my target.

When I use for instance:

Database is on ACCESS.
I'm querying a database table that creates a time stamp in seconds only. I have a starting time of
1099725928 = 11/6/2004 12:25:28 AM. So that if another entry is made 1 second later the time stamp value entered into the table is 1099725929. The front end application does the converstion from the seconds counter to the datetime format. The query I am writing calls information from this table for a different application that does not have the conversion capability. If I know the starting point (I don't want to create a conversion table) which is 1099725928 = 11/6/2004 12:25:28 AM, is it possible to write into my query script a function to convert the seconds value to the correct datetime format? It would need to accurately account for leapyear and even/odd months.

Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?
Hi all,
Currently, I am using the SSRS 2005 and try to toggle the report columns similar to Excel's column grouping function. Users can expand "+" / collapse "-" the columns in the render excel report. It works fine when I excute the tabular report in the web yet the toggle function is missing when I render the report to an Excel report. I am not sure the toggle function will only work for the row items or both as the excel report can keep the toggle function for the row items. Please help.

I am new to SQL server, and am learning as I move an Access db to MSDE2000A. With Access db I run several different queries from a VB6 application in the basic format:
SELECT testdb.*
FROM testdb
WHERE testdb.datefield = #1/01/2004#
When working with the MDSE version of the db, problem is with the "#" delimiter of dates. MSDE is giving a bad query error. If I change the format to: datefield = '1/01/2004' , the query works on MSDE
However, using SQL builder in VB Design Environment I can run the query in either format and get a result.
Any suggests what I am missing? Thanks.
I need to import few tables from MS Access to MS SQL but the table structure in Access is always different, as I would like the destination table in SQL to be.
Therefore I would like that a table would be created in SQL at runtime, according to the structure the Access table accessed has.
I've got several columns in my database stored as money type. For my purposes, when reporting this data I need to truncate trailing zeros after the decimal. I know I can create a function to do this. I think given the quantity of columns and the numerous queries accessing them, I will undoubtedly forget to use a function everywhere needed.
I thought user defined types may be a solution. I've never used them before. I would still like to store the data as a money type, but anytime it is accessed it would be formatted. Can user defined types do this, or is there a better way?

I've installed ADS on a windows mobile 5.0 device and am trying to run the sample Wizard application. It connects to the test database on the device OK, but fails to connect to the database on the desktop with the error:
"The HTTP request failed due to incorrect format or content. Try restarting the IIS server"
I've tried changing the port from 1024 in case it was already in use, but this doesn't change the error. Nor does restarting IIS (v5.1). IIS appears to be running correctly on the desktop.
Any ideas what to try next?

Hello there...
I am looking for the function that is the same as InStr in Access for SQL server. I have a column that has format like this.. Lastname,Firstname Middlename...
This column doesn't separate each one of them. However I need to separate Lastname and Firstname and Middlename.. I was told that in Access there is function(InStr) that can find a position of comma and separate it as Lastname like that....
I was searching BOL but I couldn't find like this function in SQL Server..
So I need help:-))))
Because everybody has a different length of the lastname, I have a problem.
I can not use SUBSTRING or LEFT or RIGHT because of the varying position of comma ...
Thanks in advance

Hello All -
I have a database in Access with the following fields:
Portfolio Code
Trade ID <- Uniquie
Trade Shares
Order Decision Price
Trade Execution Price
Trade Date
I want to retrieve total traded market value for the 2nd quarter (months 4, 5 and 6) for specific portfolio's. When I retrieve a list of all individual trades (by trade ID which is unique for each), Trade Shares, Order Decision Price and Trade Execution Price and do the Multiplying in Excel (i.e. Order Decision Price * Trade Shares and Trade Execution Price * Trade Shares), the final aggregate total looks correct. However, when I try to do the calculation in Excel and group it so I do not get a list of all trades, just the total Traded Market Value ( using Sum([Order Decision Price]*[Trade Shares]) and Sum([Trade Execution Price]*[Trade Shares]) ) in design view as Expression, the total traded market value is larger than what it was in the first step when the calc was done in Excel. It seems that some of the reported values are exactly double of what I get while doing the calc in Excel.
This is only happening in the 2002 database. When I use the Sum method in all other databases, the results are 100% on.
Any ideas??
Example of the SQL created by design view:
SELECT Sum([Order Decision Price]*[Trade Shares]) AS Expr1, Sum([Trade Execution Price]*[Trade Shares]) AS Expr2
FROM TradeHist
WHERE (((TradeHist.[Portfolio Code])="852" Or (TradeHist.[Portfolio Code])="2CM" Or (TradeHist.[Portfolio Code])="2CN" Or (TradeHist.[Portfolio Code])="2WA") AND ((Month([Trade Date]))=4 Or (Month([Trade Date]))=5 Or (Month([Trade Date]))=6));
