Negative Number Parenthesis Alignment
Feb 21, 2008
I am representing negative number within parenthesis , but as I am working on reporting service, it is possible to make the exact alignment of the number and parenthesis.
here is one example ....
when i format number with #,##,0;(#,##,0) i am getting output in a format in subsequent rows like
123,345
(145,567)
How can I make this alignment like
123,345
(145,567)
where the parenthesis will be outside the number space keeping in mind the alignment is in right .
any help will be apriciated.
thanks

Why is the unsed space is negative number? Whould that affect the database? How do you fix the negative number?
If 'out of lock' happen, how do you check at what level the object was/is locked and how many locks is needed to configure?
Thank you ahead of time

I am trying to output the difference in minutes between 2 times. The sql statement works for the most part but if I compare a time before midnight and a time after midnight, the query returns a negative number.
Here is my SQL statement:
SELECT
dbo.fdc_trips.enrdate,dbo.FDC_Trips.enrtime, dbo.fdc_trips.atsdate,dbo.FDC_Trips.atstime, DATEDIFF(n, dbo.FDC_Trips.enrtime, dbo.FDC_Trips.atstime)
AS TimeDiff
FROM dbo.FDC_Trips
For example: if enrtime = 23:57:00 and atstime = 00:04:00, the DATEDIFF formula returns -1433, and really it should be 7.
How can I get this query to work with times before and after midnight?

I was just wondering if there is a way of converting a number from negative to positive within Reporting Services, ie remove the "-" sign from the front of the number? One of the columns within my report contains a calculation which results in an integer, but it is always a negative number, even though it should really be positive (it would take too long to describe the exact reason for this, but it's to do with the underlying database, which I don't have access to anyway). When I right-click on the relevant cell within the table in Layout view in the Report Designer and go to Expression, there is a list of Conversion functions under the "Common Functions" heading but I can't find anything there which would convert a number from negative to positive. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Could some one help me to explain what does it means when I ran sp_spaceused on the database it reported ex. -15430kb for unused. Does this mean that the index ran out off space. Do I need to increase space for the database. I will try to run the dbcc check hope it will fix the problem.
Thanks.

I'm working with a horrible database! The field I'm having issues with is a negative number stored as a nvarchar, but it's not stored in a consistent format. I need to convert the field to a decimal (9,2) but I can't because of the negative sign.
Example:
Balance
00000000
0000-413
0000-913
00-10913
00009526
I don't even know where to start to convert this. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

Sorry if this question has been answered before--i tried a search but nothing came close to what i needed.
I have a report I am creating where I need to group on whether a number is positive or negative. The number will never be zero. This number is a decimal (currency), if that makes a difference.
I have tried creating a formula field with the following expression:
Code Snippet
IIf(Fields!Num.Value > 0, 1, 0)
I tried creating a group using this field (essentially, positive = 1 and negative = 0), but it gave me no results at all.
If you need any more information, please let me know and I will provide what I can. Thanks for your answers!

I have a 2012 report builder chart that has two series (one area chart and one bar chart) combined into one chart. The problem I'm having is the bar chart has much smaller numbers than the area chart and the scaling is messed up.
Is there any way to put the bar chart on the right axis and keep the area chart on the left axis? My goal is to increase the size of the bar chart in relation to the area chart.
Also, is there any way to make the bar chart color red if the number is negative and green if it is positive?

SELECT * FROM e_batch (INDEX=ebtgennumber, NOLOCK)
Msg 1018, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'INDEX'. If this is intended as a part of a table hint, A WITH keyword and parenthesis are now required. See SQL Server Books Online for proper syntax.
Why is this an error in SQL 2005? what is the correct syntax? I can not find anything in the HELP.

Hi,
On x64 versions of Windows server 2003, there is a folder called "Program Files (x86)". The use of parenthesis in this name has caused a few issues so far, particularly with connecting SQL Server 2005 to Oracle using SSIS. After several hours of searching I realized that the parenthesis was causing it, and eventually I found that the best way is to avoid creating such a name while installing the OS itself, by using winnt.sif. This would be better than renaming it and changing registry entries after the installation is done.
I realize this may not be the best question to ask of Microsoft, but why not just call it "Program Filesx86" by default so no special procedure has to be done to get around these issues? The use of parenthesis is likely to cause even more compatibility issues with other software later?
BTW I use Microsoft products regularly and love most of them

We are storing changed data of tables into XML format for auditing purpose. The functionality is already achieved. We are using FOR XML Path clause to convert relational data of tables into XML format.
Now, a table is having column name with '(' . For example name of the column is, ColumnName(). In this case we can not convert into XML using For XML clause. Showing error as,
Column name 'columnName()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML; '(' (0x0028) is the first character at fault.

Does anyone else have this issue?
When making a report with VS2005, things get spaced out wierd and dropped down when deployed to the web?
I can't get things like images to position properly. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I am using a Matrix?
For example, I create an image and embed it, I have it all the way to the left of the form and when deployed it is more towards the middle of the page?
Very frustrating, just wondering if anyone has any tips/solutions.

Hi All,
I am working on a report, in this report a textbox is present, which is expected to show string. This string length is larger than what textbox can accommodate in single line. I want this textbox to show only right part of the string in case it can accommodate full string.
After using the right alignment I assumed it would do show, however it does not work like that. It always shows the left part of string in case, string is bigger than width of textbox.
Restriction from design:
1. Cannot increase the width of textbox.
2. Cannot use the Can Grow = true to show string in multiple lines.
Below is the example of my issue:
Say there is a string: "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services".
because the textbox width is not sufficient to see full string, I want to "Reporting Service". Which is of same size which column can accommodate. So I used Right alignment in textbox. however text box shows "Microsoft SQL Server". So, is there a solution to see required text in the textbox.

I've yet to use partitioning in a production environment, and pretty much last ran any partitioning related code a few years back when looking at certification; so I'm definitely not an expert on the matter and only loosely clued up on the concepts.
I've recently started with a new employer, and they have just implemented a new system for sms messaging. The database tables tracking the sms messages being sent are going to get big and so they have created decided to implement partitioning on some of the tables using a partition scheme on the CreatedDate column; the DBA involved in designing the partitioning has left and I'm picking this up.
The relevant DDL for the table is below:-
CREATE TABLE [Message].[Sms](
[SmsId] [bigint] IDENTITY(250000001,1) NOT NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Sms:CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Sms:SmsId] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
[code]....
There are some issues with the above that I will be addressing seperately (e.g. the clustered index should be unique as it contians the unique key, and the fillfactors are daft), but my concerns for this post are below.
1) How to define the Primary Key and enforce it's uniqueness whilst trying to ensure it's aligned with the partition in order to be able to switch out old data once an as yet undefined retention period has passed. In books online it states:- "If it is not possible for the partitioning column to be included in the unique key, you must use a DML trigger instead to enforce uniqueness. " Books online - Special Guidelines for Partitioned Indexes. However, I'm not sure what this means, nor how I create the primary key to use the partition function seeing as it doesn't have the CreatedDate in the unique key?
2) The original partition function was envisaged as the following:-
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [DateFunction](datetime) AS RANGE
LEFT FOR VALUES (N'2014-01-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2014-04-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2014-07-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2014-10-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-01-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-04-01T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-04-02T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-04-03T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-04-04T00:00:00.000'
, N'2015-04-05T00:00:00.000')
GO
There is a procedure that has been created and scheduled daily that will create a new partition for each day, and then merge these together at the end of the quarter. My understanding of partitioning is that this is a bad idea, as it will result in merging several populated partitions together. Is my understanding correct? If so, I'm planning on removing the day partitions at the end of the function, and simply adding quarterly partitions, maintaining a spare empty partition at the end of the table. Would this make more sense?

Can we have more than 2 parameters displayed in a single row on report (when browsed using web browser). The parameters BY DEFAULT - seems to be lined up in an array of 2 columns, and N rows - which gets frustrating because so much of space is left blank (gray space just left of <View Report> button and to the right of parameters line-up).
How can we have more than 2 parameters displayed in one single row ? As this will help the actual report content to take up more space on the screen than the parametes taking up almost 1/2 of the screen.
Thanks a bunch for ideas.

I understand that in 2008 server it'll align the disks for you automatically. I've run the following commands on another one of my DB servers and the offset was 1024 on all of them. I get the following from my other DB server and it doesn't list the alignment on every partition save the first one.
DISKPART> select disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list partition

Relative newb to SSRS here, but the answer to this question evades me; answers and insight are appreciated.
Report in question is an invoice form. It requires an absolutely bottom-of-page aligned footer that has databound elements.
This is so that whatever page that footer finally appears on will print in such a way that the address will align in a windowed envelope.
Ironically, Books Online gives this exact scenario in explaining headers and footers in SSRS, but they cleverly don't explain how an absolutely bottom-of-page-aligned and data-bound footer can be made to happen. Headers at absolute page top is obviously no problem. Footers at page bottom, not so much.
So, this is not a "page footer"--page footers are employed in the body. Also this footer is databound, so a page footer as it's known in SSRS is out the window anyway.
Most of the time this will print on a single page, but if it breaks to multiple pages, that footer needs to go all the way to the absolute bottom.
I grasp that the "report footer" for SSRS is just what appears at the end of any repeating controls that you've implemented in your body. Because SSRS uses this kind of repeating-control based idiom rather than a section-based idiom as Crystal does, this kind of (what I would consider very basic) positioning control is looking fairly impossible right now.
Among what I've tried:
--Page footer (can't; databound)
--Specifying a page break after the pre-footer controls, and/or a page break before the controls that make up the footer in their properties. This leads to unpredictable results with blank printed pages (as many as 8 for what previews as a 2-page report, how silly is that?).
--Putting in a page-height rectangle as part of the footer (with and without the page breaks mentioned above), with the idea of forcing a basically blank page at the end of the report so that the footer will go to the bottom. SSRS will go ahead and break the page anyway on long elements like that, which again leads to the "footer" being printed in the middle or top of the final page, or whereever it happens to fall.
I may be having to explain to my client that you can't get there from here, and they may have to redesign their report. Does anyone have any insight?
Thank you for your time in reading this.

calculating profit... how do I write an update query that will correct the gross profit calculated column for all negative qty transactions
Basically in the stored procedure that creates the table the query includes:
Profit = CASE Sale WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE (Sale - Cost) END,
which is wrong when sale and cost is negative the formula becomes
(-Sale + Cost).... I want it to be -(Sale-Cost) (where sale any cost ignores negative sign.....
but i dont know to write this....any ideas???

Hey guys,
I have a very peculiar issue going on. I have a table that contains a decimal(18,2) column called "Amount". Looking at this table through Enterprise Mgr, I can see that there are values in there that are negative. However, when I run a query in Query Analyzer, it displays all the negative values as positives.
The only workaround I've found right now is to change the column type to "real" and then change it back to decimal(18,2), and it starts showing the negatives as negative. However, without performing this absurd workaround, it doesn't work.
Is there a known bug in QA that would manifest itself as this? What is the cause for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello:
I have gotten the following information from sp_spaceused:

I unfortunately since this is for a test database that I have put the data and log on the same device.
My questions are:
1) Why do I have negative numbers?
2) Should I be concerned about this?
3) for a live database can I drop the log and put the log on another device? What do I need to do?
4) has anybody seen this before?
5)what can I use to get accurate numbers?
THanks. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I have a new one. Several of my devices are showing with negative sizes when viewed in edit in enterprise manager. I cannot edit them as the change now button is grayed-out. Oddly enough they are all located on the same drive. The master (on C drive), and the tempdb (on D drive) both show as the default device. I am very confused. User access to the information is fine. What gives?
