SQL query: I am importing data from one source to another. The phone number has 3 variations and I want to standardize the information. I need to remove the "+1" or "1" from the leading characters of the phone number.
example:
13035554444
+13035554444
I have a table filled with phone numbers entered in every different way possible
(5551212, 1115551212, 111-555-1212, 111 555 1212, 111-555-1212 ex 1234, 5551212 x1234)
And I would like to pull them from the table using sql 2008 and have the formatting look like this:
(111)555-1212 x1234.
How can I make this happen? Where numbers are missing, I would prefer to leave the area blank, ie 5551212 becomes 555-1212, and 1115551212 becomes (111)555-1212, extension numbers only where they are currently included.
If I have a string of 10 numbers (with no other characters), what is the best way to format them into a standard phone format: xxx-xxx-xxxx?
I tried numerous variations in the format code and edit expression areas, but no luck.
I have a column of phone numbers that have formatting such as (xxx)xxx-xxxx,
or xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx-xxxx; however, not all phone numbers are formatted in this fashion. I need to remove all characters and only leave behind numeric digits to look like xxxxxxxxxx. I have tried select replace(colname,'-','') from table. This does the trick but does not actually change the values in the column. Any help in accomplishing this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to get my SQL create table to work for my phone number formatting and it is not. When I create the below code, the default is set to 3 numbers only.
CREATE SET TABLE dl_qpt_cqe.contacts, NO FALLBACK ,NO BEFORE JOURNAL,NO AFTER JOURNAL
(contact_id integer not null ,contact varchar(50) , jobtitle varchar(50), dept varchar(50), phone integer format '999-999-9999', phone_ext varchar(10), email varchar(50), constraint pk primary key (contact_id));
Is there some other way I need to format the phone portion so the default is 999-999-9999?
i am trying to build a database that contains a coloumn of phone number but i reallly dont know where and how i will be able to give a specific format for phone numbers.. or anything else any common type of information that may have a format..
Will i use Visual Web Developer or SQL Server Management or whatever else to arrange my phone number coloumn?
In my report I am combing 2 fields as
=Fields!PROPERTY.Value & " - " & Fields!PHONE.Value
this results in PropertyName - 5555551212
How would I add in formatting for phone so my resulting display is (555) 555-1212?
What is the simplest way to format the 10 digit numeric string that represents a phone number, so that the result appearing on a web page looks like (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Should this take place in the database or out at the web server or where?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's my problem: I have to clean up a SQL Server 2005 database with a large number of phone number records (several hundred thousand). The records are of varchar datatype and contain phone numbers in every format imaginable. In fact, many records have written notes regarding the phone numbers after the numbers themselves. What I need to do is format all of the phone numbers to this format:
###-###-####-
Basically I'm figuring I need to do the following:
1. Strip all non-numeric characters from the record
2. Remove the 1 from any records that have a leading 1 (in many cases the records contain stuff like 1-888-555-1234)
3. Remove any digits following the first 10 digits (they don't want to keep any extensions - the formatting is more important)
4. Add dashes after the first three digits, after the second three and at the end of the phone number
This seems like a rather complex problem to me, and honestly I don't even know where to begin. I can accomplish this rather easily in javascript or C#, but writing SQL to solve this is beyond me. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide. Thanks alot!
Hi,

I'd appreciate it if you could help me on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
i have a table in SQL with +- 5000 phone numbers in various styles
e.g.

Do i have to write 10 replace after each other or is there an easier way to format the phone numbers?
Thx in advance!!
How would I go about setting up a "mask" to automatically place the hyphen in phone numbers in SQL Server? I.e., the user types in an area code and then a hyphen automatically inserts and the cursor is on the next blank space.
Thanks for the assist.

I seem to always get the "Fun Stuff" to try and figure out. I have an entire table that was pumped out of Oracle. I even hate saying that word!
There are a couple columns that are Float data type, and they are storing phone numbers as a Float data type. I am not able to CAST these into anything that is legible.
This is one of the values that I made up that look like some of the others.

I'm having brain freez right now. Help me please!!! Thanks in Advance
I am designing wepage using Asp.net with Sql server as database. I have used Multiline textbox in which user has to enter their family detail. Like number of brother and sister family status, source of Earning for family.
But User do not have to enter his/her phone/contact number. For that I restricted the user to enter any nuberic digit through asp.net Regex. But User is too smart now they are entering his/her contact number in words.
Suppose somebody's Contact number is 533445928 as they can not enter numberic digit because of asp.net regex which allows the user to enter only alphabets. Now they are entering their contact number in words like five three three four four nine two eight seven. I would like to restrict the user to enter contact detail in words also.
I am learning the string functions and the database that I'm using is AdventureWorks2012.However ,while practicing I was just trying to hide the phone number with '*' mark,but not getting the desired result.So the code is.............
SELECT
PhoneNumber, (SUBSTRING(PhoneNumber,1,2)+REPLICATE('*',8)+
SUBSTRING(PhoneNumber,CHARINDEX('[0-9][0-9]{1,2}',PhoneNumber),LEN('-555-01')))AS[PhoneNumber]
FROM
Person.PersonPhone
[code]....
I would like to format the US phone number format in say 123-456-7895 either at SSRS level or SQL level. Currently the client is not having proper standard way to enter phone numbers and this is cauisng wrong display in the report.
Is there any function that I could use in SQL for formatting phone numbers that will be of the type (516) 491-6675,5164916675 into correct US format phone numbers.
Below is my sample data. I can't figure out how to select Unique phonenumber contacts for the same Ranked values from the set.
Basically the table is a mix of contactIDs. Some of them have duplicate phone numbers and through a separate mechanism we have ranked them.
It's easier then to pull out max(ranked) CLI_Numbers and their counterpart contactID(s). But I am also getting 2 or more records where the rank happens to be the same. I don't want that. Any one of the contactID will do for me.
The table has also same cliNumbers with different rank values, which are then correctly being picked up in the query below.
Note: ContactId is a unique value for each person in the table.
RecordID is simply RowID.
( I have attempted to populate a sample data suited for this forum - not sure how it comes out on the browser)
if object_id('tempdb..#MyData') is not null
drop table #MyData
create table #MyData
(
RecordID int,
contactID int,
forename varchar(25),
surname varchar(25),
[Code] ....
This is my query attempt
With RankedmobileDuplicateSet
as(
select cliNumber, max(ranked_value) as ranked_max_value
from #temp_UK_mobiledata
group by cliNumber)
[Code] .....
'17686568 - Bill Statement - 11/16/2006 - Stm. Date - 10/27/2006'
Above is the data string that I am trying to pull the information from. Here is the function I'm currently using:
cast(substring(c.itemname,charindex('Bill Statement - ',c.itemname)+18,10) as varchar)
...which gives me what i want most of the time, but beacuse the date is not equally formatted through out the database and the date can look like 5/4/2012 and using the above formula it will show up as 5/4/2012 -
So my question is how can i trim off the dash part when the data shows up like 5/4/2012 - ?
I would like to know how to split the phone number into two columns based on - symbol Dynamically.
for example
Phone Number
123-12323
1234-1222
so output should be
code number
123 12323
1234 1222
say, i have a column in the database that has number values. I want to display these number with comma separators (Eg: if the column values is 1654, then i want to display it as 1,654).
How can i achieve this in my sQL query
Here is what I have
CDec(Sum(Val(Fields!Test1.Value))/(Val(CountRows("Group1"))*SomeNumber)*100%)
This works fine
but the problem is the number can be 25.325641. I only want to get 25 so I did this
Int(Sum(Val(Fields!Test1.Value))/(Val(CountRows("Group1"))*SomeNumber)*100%)
This did the trick but if the number is .255667 it will display 0.
here is what i want:
1-if the number is bigger than 0 i don't want to display the decimals for example:
25.01245 = 25
2-if the number is less than 0. I only want to display 2 decimal places
.256415 = .25
Thanks
Hi
I'm trying to convert and format integer values in a SQL Server select statement to a string representation of the number formated with ,'s (1000000 becomes 1,000,000 for example).
I've been looking at CAST and CONVERT and think the answers there somewhere. I just don'tseem to be able to work it out.
Anyone out there able to help me please?
Thanks,Keith.
