I have the following query, I would like to know if I can replace negative values with a zero and if a posiive value appears then leave the value alone?
SELECT TimeStamp, Tag1,Tag2,Tag3
FROM dbo.keller8
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???
hi,
In the result of a function in my query, there are negative numbers.
How do I replace them with a 0 or is there a function like ISNULL that replaces the values that are negative?
thanks,

Hi,
I´m working with chart type bar (Simple Bar) and i received four values from stored procedure, all values are negative numbers. The Reporting Service shows the values in the chart, but, doesn't show the "bars".... If one of four values will be positive, the report shows the values and the "bars" but if all values will be negative, the report shows just de values.
What do I do for the bars appear with four negative values ?
Thanks.

Hello everybody,
I have a DTS package that imports excel spreadsheets.
The excel spreadsheet cells contain numbers based on vlookups. Now negative values appear in these cells as -999 but when loaded into the table they appear as (999).
Is there anyway way to configure it to just load -999? The tricky part is I don't have control over the format of the spreadsheet cell and the destination table field is varchar. I am hoping there is some way that the DTS interprets and picks up the value as it is displayed in excel.
Or do I have to stick with converting it manually by replacing '(' and ')' with nothing and appending '-'?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I'm starting out with Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server CE and have come unstuck at the first hurdle.
I have performed the below simple steps:
1. I have created a table with an identity field in it. The identify increment is a positive value (1). This works fine and I can populate data to the table directly.
2. I drag the table adapter from the dataset to a form to create a datagrid form.
When I run this form, the field for the identify column populates with negative values and when I go to save the record the application errors.
Note: this only happens with SQL Server CE. I do exactly the same with a server based db and get positive increments via the form.
The simple-ugly solution is to just set a negative increment in the table to match what is going on via the form, but this strikes me as a cop out. It is most likely that I am overlooking something obvious and I would be very appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

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?
Thanks,

I have both positive and negative values in a single column, where I want sum total of positive values & negative values. Is there any Expression for this to sort out.
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.

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Enterprise manager is reporting my database device size to be a negative number.
Primarily, this is the case for the log files, but also occurs on a few of the .dat files.
Is there a correction? Is this a display error, or an actual size conflict/
I wrote simple script to check space used by tables:
CREATE TABLE #SpaceUsed(
TableName NVARCHAR(128),
NoOfRows INT,

Index_Size NVARCHAR(18),
Unused NVARCHAR(18)

sp_msforeachtable "INSERT INTO #SpaceUsed EXEC sp_spaceused '?'"
SELECT * FROM #SpaceUsed
SELECT
CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Reserved,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalReserved,
CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Data,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalData,
CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Index_Size,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalIndex_Size,
CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Unused,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalUnused

DROP TABLE #SpaceUsed

I am using a select statement to obtain a result set back with aggregateddata. The problem is that I am seeing column data with 11 to 13 digitsafter the decimal point. I tried using the STR function, but then the OrderBy clause does not sort properly because there are negative numbers in theaggregated data... I tried using Round, but that does no good either - itstill ends up displaying too many digits after the decimal point. Right nowI'm just using Query Analyzer to display the data, so I can live with it fornow. But, in the future, my app will be getting a result set back and Iwould prefer not to have to go through each row and do a round on it fromthe program. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thanks for any help,Bob
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm personally in favor of using the SQL CLR where appropriate, although I'm wondering what the negative consequences of enabling SQL CLR might be? Its disabled by default within SQL Server 2005 and most likely 2008, so what was the reason behind this ... beyond the fear of the DBA enabling something he might not himself fully understand.

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

I have a table with debits and credits columns
Credit Debit
-7600
0080
90-30
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

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?
