Because the data contains commas, I've had to change the data type to varchar. I've seen several instances of PATINDEX used however I have not ran across any of them that would put the above in the order in which I need. Btw, I have about 20 columns with this type of data and I eventually plan to use the results of each column to populate dropdownlists . Thank you all in advance.
If I pull a value from a MSSQL field with is defined as money, how can I get it to display in a textbox with commas and NO decimals? 87000.0000 = 87,000 I can currently remove the decimals like below but is there a way to add the commas as well? decRevenue = drMyData("Revenue") txtRevenue.Text = decRevenue.ToString("f0") It current shows "87000".
I have a table that I am exporting via a SQL server table to a csv file, via the flat file connection manager within SSIS. My issue is that one of the fields in my table contains "," (commas), so when the file is created it creates new columns in the csv file because the field is "," comma delimited on the column. Is there anyway to get round this without having to get rid of commas in my table (which I've tried and works)?
Let me point out at the beginning that I don't have anyway to normalize this structure or get the admins to change the way the data is stored. We don't own the database where this is housed...we're just given the information via an .xls file...which we import to a SQLServer table.
I have some data that is given to me that has two columns (below is for an example): Column A is an identifiying number, i.e. for a project Column B is a comma separated list of account strings for the project
A sample layout of what we get via the .xls file might look like the following (Column A is to the left of the dashes, and Column B is to the right of the dashes):
What I need to do is now haveprojects listed out in Column A with each of it's account strings in Column B like so: AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 3333 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 4444 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 5555
I am trying to parse data separated through text (ie abc1, abc2, abc3, abc4, etc).
ID ParseData 1 [abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.] 2 [abc1.Gray Shoes/abc2.Striped jacket /abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.] 3 [abc1.Blue jeans/abc2./abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
New Data (abc1, abc2, abc3, etc each have a field in the new data set) ID ParseData abc1 abc2 abc3 abc4 abc5 abc6 abc7 abc8 1 [abc1.Pants...abc8.] Pants Orange hat Purple shirt 2 [abc1.Gray...abc8.] Gray Shoes Striped jacket 3 [abc1.Blue...abc8.] Blue Jeans
If I only want the data in between abc1 and abc2, between abc2 and abc3, etc, what would be the best way to do that?
My code so far looks like: DECLARE @string varchar(100) = '[abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]', @searchString1 varchar(20) = 'abc1', @searchString2 varchar(20) = 'abc2';
SELECT newstring FROM dbo.SubstringBetween(@string,@searchString1,@searchString2);
This returns 'Pants.'How do I continue to parse between abc2 and abc3? between abc3 and abc4?And then continue to ID2?Should I be referencing the ParseData field instead of string of data that I want to parse?
Picture tells all what i need. Anyway i want to combine upper two tables data like below result sets. Means they should be grouped by bsns_id and its description should be comma separated taken from 2nd table. In sql server 2012 ....

I'm working on a script to merge multiple columns(30) into a single column separated by a semicolons, but I'm getting the following error below. I tried to convert to the correct value. but I'm still getting an error.
Error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ';' to data type tinyint".
I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can grow
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch only state names and not the numbers.
Hi, I have table Article(ID,Title,FAID) I need a query that will select all the Article.ID records where the FAID contains the number of the article ID For exapmle, Article Table content is:
I have a normal nvarchar(50) field in a table that has a single comma in it but when i read it using OleDbDataReader the comma gets removed. any ideas what i am doing wrong ?
I have an excel file with 2 columns: article art_group kb art,tp,key portal grup,port,li
I have a table in the database called tb_artGroups with the columns
article art_group
Now for each row in the excel i have to write the values after the comma in a new row such as: article art_group kb art kb tp kb key portal grup etc...
How can i do that with SSIS?
Thanks

I am using SQL 2005 and have a query that returns seven columns of data. In one the columns, the results contains commas. For example, one of the results is 'brooke, nick, dustin, and me.jpg'. The results are saved into a .csv file so it can be imported into Excel. The user named the file with the commas and I need to preserve the original file name.
My question: Is there some way to format the data inside of SQL so that when it gets saved as a .csv file, the extra commas don't throw off the column layout?
I don't want to have to manually clean up possibly several hundred rows of data everytime I run the query.
I have to use bcp to import two text files everyday for database update. The problem is that some of the character fields that are being imported have double-quotes and/or commas in them. When these are imported into the SQL Server tables additional double quotes are being added into these strings.
Hello Nice simple T-SQL question that will no doubt prove totally uncontroversial :) Anyone know the easiest way to get from:123456789to123,456,789in T-SQL? Currently I cast my int as money, use convert to varchar with style 1 and then lop off the .00. Is there an easier way? Two things before you get all upset and start squealing about front ends:1) These are admin functions that I am running from SSMS. I don't want to go to the bother of creating an application when SSMS is perfectly adequate for what I need (namely to-a-large-degree unformatted result sets).2) I'm not too fussed about it just curious. Ta & tra la!
I have a hierarchy of product categories and I want to string them together to show the complete path (breadcrumbs) to the item. Each category/subcat must be separated buy a comma. The catch is that not all items have the same number of cats/subcats. Here is what I am currently doing, but as you can see, this results in extra commas where the subcats are null.
I'm trying to export a query to a csv file. Everything works great until I hit the name field. Is there a way to remove commas from a select statement.
Here's what my Data looks like
Item # | Name ------------------------- 1111 | Acme, Inc 1112 | Test Company, Inc
I'd like it to print out as
Item # | Name ------------------------- 1111 | Acme Inc 1112 | Test Company Inc
I am pulling several numbers from a SQL table, adding them and doingvarious calculaitons. The numbers do not display a comma to separatethousands. What is a way to format this?
I am trying to create a SSIS package with a csv flat file for the both the destination and source. I cannot control the source file. I need to be able to handle an extra comma in the source file which occasionally contains suffixes i.e. {John, Smith, Jr,} which could cause some records to be 9 fields and others 10. Any ideas?
Once I've converted my floats to chars using STR, is there an easy wayto put commas in separating the thousands.i.e. convert53000000.12to53,000,000.12I'm thinking I'll have to do it with a user defined function and thevarious string functions myself but was wondering if anyone had aneasier way?CheersDave
HI I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename. One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is : jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;; means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column. Please let me know how can i do this
I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME: 1. Why is the column now bigger? 2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?
I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.
Example query and result before REPLACE: select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails
I have some names stored in a table in the following format...
eg "Royales, Jon" "Smith, Alan" "Jones, Tom"
what I would like to see is...
"Jon Royales" "Alan Smith" "Tom Jones"
I assume I should search the string for a comma (,) and use split and then rejoin the values. I need to do this as part of my select statement... is it possible?
I have searched the forums for similar posts but didn't find anything helpful.
I have what seems to be a common problem where I have names like "Last, First" that I need to be able to select using a multi-value parameter, which of course, SSRS passes as comma-delimited and gets messed up. I need to find a way to use a different delimiter or pass CHAR(44) instead of the comma, or something. Even worse, some people have suffixes and multiple commas in one name!
