How To Multiply Value In A Field By -1
Nov 1, 2007
Hello, I have a quick question. I'm currently using MS SQL 2005.
I have a main table which has many fields. I created a view#1 which imports all the rows from the main table but I only select the "City" field, "PurchaseDescription" field and a "Cost" field. Only the city name is unique. There are a total of 50 different city names, and each name can have more than one "PurchaseDescription" each with an associated "Cost". I would like to create a second view#2 with an added field called "Cost2". I want "Cost2" to contain the same value as the "Cost" value. However if the "PurchaseDescription" equals to "USB" then "Cost2" should be assigned the value of "Cost" multiplied by -1. If the "PurchaseDescription" content isn't equal to "USB" then "Cost2" will have the save value as "Cost".
For example,
The view#1 will have the following rows & fields (I had to pad the field with dots just to make the output look viewable on this thread)
City..............PurchaseDescription..........Cost
-----------------------------------------------------
LA.................desk.............................4.5
LA.................USB..............................5.0
LA.................USB..............................6.0
SD................chair.............................4.0
SD................door.............................10.0
The view#2 should have the following rows and fields
City..............PurchaseDescription........Cost.......Cost2
---------------------------------------------------------
LA.................desk..........................4.5........ 4.5
LA.................USB...........................5.0....... -5.0
LA.................USB...........................6.0....... -6.0
SD................chair..........................4.0........ 4.0
SD................door..........................10.0....... 10.0
I don't mind if I have to use functions or more than 2 views to solve my problem. I jus need a final view that would look like view#2.
Could you please help if you can?
Thank you very much for your time and have a safe Halloween!

I have the following fields in table A:
GL_ID|GL_Name_VC | Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI
===================================================
1000| Inventory| 8,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Inventory| -3,000.00 | 02 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Inventory| 5,000.00 | 02 | 2005
===================================================
the fields above have the following datatype:
Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger
The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:
GL_ID|GL_Name_VC |Period_01|Period_02 |Total_YTD
================================================
1000 | Inventory | 8,000 | 2,000 |10,000
Percentage| 10% | 20% | 0
================================================
Total | 800 | 400 | 1,200
The Total row is calculated by multiplying the percentage row by the Inventory amount in
each Period.
Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?

Hi. Just a question. Did I use it proper to multiply fields and assign to a variable?
select l.* , e.paytype, e.sectioncode, e.empno,dc.fullname,
earnedDays = lc.earned, availedDays = lc.availed,
earnedHours = (lc.earned * e.hrswork), availedHours = (lc.availed * hrswork),
balHours = (earnedHours - availedHours), balDays = (earnedDays - availedDays)
from hrempleaveledger as l
inner join......

In derived fields, I need to multiply numbers from 2 fields. Assume that I need to multiply numbers from field B and field C. Although, B is found by COUNT (field A). So, I do the following: B*AltName of A. It gives me an error. Thank you for any help!

But I can not find the ln function. Is there any other possibility ?

Hi
I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.
There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :
SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName
This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.
I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.
thanks....Tom

what am I doing wrong here? I can multipley * 1.25, but not -1.25. Every google entry I find is how to convert positive to negative numbers... I want to use update to multiply and lower the price by 25% (I used the function a bit to liberally to multiply by 125% and now want to bring the values down to earth)
update production.product set listprice = (listprice * -1.25)
select max(listprice) from production.product

Script as follows :
select cast( 0.0050000000 as decimal(38,23)) * cast(0.0000010000 as decimal(38,23))
select cast( 0.0050000000 as decimal(28,23)) * cast(0.0000010000 as decimal(28,23))
select cast( 0.01 as decimal(28,15)) * cast(0.0000000001 as decimal(28,15))
select cast( 0.01 as decimal(28,16)) * cast(0.0000000001 as decimal(28,16))
The result was following：
0.0000000--was zero
0.000000005000000000000000000
0.00000000000--was zero

SELECT EmployeeId, PiecemealType,SUM(PiecemealQty) /100 AS TotalTrays, ActivityId
FROM SR.dbo.PayTrays
WHERE WorkDate > '2012-01-01'
AND WorkDate < '2012-12-31'
GROUP BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType, ActivityId
ORDER BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType
PiecemealType is the type of tray
1= 15 Items per tray
2= 12 Items per tray
3= 8 Items per tray
4= 6 Items per tray
I'm trying to work out a bonus for 1 cent per item worked. The divide by 100 moves the total from cent to dollar and the SUM is adding all weekly values together.I just need to work out how to multiply the the SUM value for trays by the 4 different PiecemealType values. If it was static i could just add *15 to my SUM.

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?

I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.

Hi,
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.
