Hi, I need help. Understatement of the year right now, too = So... I've created a stored procedure that partially pulls a SQL union query to give me a complete one-line result set of a bunch of data... four separate selects comprise the query. The tables are structured identically to each other, but the values being pulled are specific and distinct. All of the non-date values stored are varchar values in the tables, and yet when I execute the SQL union query, I get the error message: Syntax error converting the varchar value to a column of data type int. I know SQL does implicit conversions, however Im not sure why it's trying to do that with this query, I suppose. it should have been straightforward. Any suggestions? Here is the query logic to look at, in case I'm missing the obvious
exec(' SELECT ACCOUNT, LNAME, FNAME, SEX, DOB, cast(MA_ContentValue as decimal) as MA_ContentValue, cast(MA_DOS as smalldatetime) as MA_DOS,cast(LDL_ContentValue as decimal) as LDL_ContentValue, cast(LDL_DOS as smalldatetime) as LDL_DOS, cast(HgbA1C_ContentValue as decimal)as HgbA1C_ContentValue, HgbA1C_DOS, cast(Creatinine_ContentValue as decimal) as Creatinine_ContentValue, Creatinine_DOS FROM ( SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB,MA_ContentValue, MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_MicroalbuminTop3 UNION SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, LDL_ContentValue, LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_LDLTop3 UNION SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, HgbA1C_ContentValue, HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_HgbA1CTop3 UNION SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, Creatinine_ContentValue, Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_CreatinineTop3) tbl1

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.
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.
how i convert varchar sal field to numeric in query select sum(sal) from emp1 error:the sum or average aggregate operation cannot take a varchar data type as an argument.
Hello Guys,Have been getting this error( Implicit conversion from data type ntext to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. ) when running on the live environment but it was fine when run locally. If anyone has similar problem please let me know the fix you have done. Thank you.
In my database I have a table called "users" with a varchar-field that holds categori-id's commaseparated, collected from my other table "category". I do this to control access for my users, some users are only allowed access to some categories. I would like to run a statement sort of like this:select categoryname from category where catid in (select categories from user where userid = 12)Naturally, because catid and the field categories have different datatypes I get the error "Syntax error converting the varchar value '340, 344, 356' to a column of data type int."
Is there any way I can bypass this keeping the commaseparated values and without making a new normalized table instead?

tbl_Projects ------------------------- ProjID | Description ------------------------- 1 | First 2 | Second 3 | Third
I want to write a SELECT statement that will output in this format: 1 - First 2 - Second etc...
I've tried these two statements:
SELECT (ProjID + ' - ' + Description) AS Projects FROM tbl_Projects //Error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'First' to data type int.
and
SELECT CONCAT(ProjID, CONCAT(' - ', Description)) AS Projects FROM tbl_Projects //Error: The data types int and varchar are incompatible in the concat operator.
Is there any way to concatenate an int value with a varchar value?

Hi All I'm getting an error that says that this can't be converted to an integer. Here is the line that gets the error. dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable() I have also tried. dt = (DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa); I am programming in VB here is teh rest of my code.

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?
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.
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 have a field called "Starting DateTime" and I want to convert into my local time. I can convert it in the report with the expression "=System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(Fields!Starting_DateTime.Value)", but that is too late. I want to convert it in the Select statement of the query.
