I have an Excel/ vba module to update a SQL database. One of the data is numeric. If the data is a positive number, there is no problem, but if the number (zscore) in Excel is negative an error pops up: Error converting datatype varchar to numeric.
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 table with a field that has a numeric data type (15,2) and length of 9. The problem is that it won't display the actual negative sign for any values less than 0 when running a query. Any ideas? I've used Query Analyzer as well as Access.
I'm a newbie when it comes to using SS7. When I try to insert a negative number (-1) into a integer column, the value is changed to 65535. How can overcome this problem?
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?
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 .
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.
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.
when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are : @N = 21 @SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000 @SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error - SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
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?

How do I display numeric data as text string?? I need the report to spell out the number. 1 would read as One, 2 as Two ect. For example writing the amount on a check. Need to do in SSRS.
I am transferring the debits and the credits in to one column in another table
Type Amount C-76 D80 C90 D-30
And I am facing two problems one is the negative numbers don't transfer and also when I have debit and credit on the same line they are not transferring.
Select Case When isNull(A.[Debit], 0) > 0 And IsNull(A.[Credit], 0) = 0 Then 'D' Else 'C' End, Case When isNull(A.[Debit], 0) > 0 And IsNull(A.[Credit], 0) = 0 Then Round(A.[Debit],2) Else Round(A.[Credit],2) End FROM Tble A
This seems a bug to me. Or does anyone has a logical explanation that escapes me?
When in SSIS Designer Version 9.00.1399.00 I add output columns (numeric 4,0 ) to a scriptcomponent and fill them with valid numeric data in thescript I get a database error 'invalid number' when I use these columns in an OLE db Command-transformation . This errormessage disappears when I replaces those columns by a dataconversion to the datatype they originally have.
I keep getting the following error when trying to show the mining model viewer for MS Neural Network but I can view accuracy charts without any problem:
Execution of the managed stored procedure GetAttributeScores failed with the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Invalid content found containing negative probabilities. -1.
I have a table that displays a bunch of data based on their percentage changes.
There is a parameter (let's say 5%) that the user can set to display only the data which either increased more than 5% or decreased more than 5%.
I want to have a space between the positive changes and the negative changes. ie, to create a blank row between the +'s and the -'s. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
I want to set an alert for a specific table whenever an event hascaused a deadlock to occur on the table.I understand how to set up an alert. But I don't know which errornumber to use for the New Alert error number property for a deadlock.Or how to specify a deadlock on a specific table.Thanks,DW
Facing a strange problem, but obviously not expected earlier on, I am trying to execute a stored procedure via ADO which refrences a linked server table and I get an error specifying " OLEDB provider SQLOLEDB does not contain table "<DatabaseName>"."<owner>"."<tableName>" "
Has any one else encountered this problem before ? regards Govind

Hi all,Is there a way of counting the number of results/rows from an SqlDataSource which uses a select statement like: "SELECT * FROM TABLE1". I need to get this value from the SqlDataSource into the Sub Page_Load. I don't want to bind to any gridviews, repeaters etc. I just want to get the number of rows/results from the SqlDataSource.Is there a way of doing this?Thanks
I would like to add a field to a query that returns an ordinal number indicating which row of the results it is. Anybuddy know how? eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7....
I am doing some SELECT queries on my database through ASP, but for example, I only want to return the 50 most recent entries that match the criteria. Is there any easy way to limit the number of results returned?
I have a query that pulls records from a table based on whether is matches one or more of several criteria. I'd like to be able to order the results of this query by the number of conditions a particular row met. So a row that met 3 conditions would rank about a row that only met 2. So far I haven't been able to dent this with any attempt so I'm open to any suggestions.
In MSSQL, is there a way to count the number of instances of asubstring within a string, so that I can sort by that?For example:table tst contains one column: tst_dataif tst_data = "the man with the plan"I'd want a function that counts the occurances of "the"count_substring(tst_data,'the') = 2Basically, I'm making a search engine and I'd like to put the mostrelavent hits at the top of the page.
I am working on a project that displays images. Before you can get to the image, you have to select a category that the image may be in. After that, you select the sub categories. I am trying to display a count of the number of records that the subcategories contain. Here is an example:
The user can make a selection from the categories listed below:
Geographic Area Time Period Topic Record Type
If the user selects time period, he/she is taken to a list of subcategories. I would like to display the subcategories with a count of the number of records that will be displayed if it is selected. Listed below is an example of what this would look like:
Colonial (10) -----the number in parenthesis is the number of records that will be displayed if selected------ Gilded Age (12) Revolutionary (9) Progressive Era (22)
Is there a way to display the number in parenthesis using ASP.Net and SQL Server 2000? Any clues will be greatly appreciated.
