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?
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?
Ok, I have a table with IP addresses stored in decimal format using both positive and negative numbers. The way that they are stored is: Positve 1 thru 2147483647 = 0.0.0.1 - 127.255.255.255 Negative -2147483648 thru -1 = 128.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 Conversion positive x/2^24 . (x/2^24)/2^16 . etc . etc negative (x+2^32)/2^24 . ((x+2^32)/2^24)/2^16 . etc . etc
I have a script which works by using UNION and the WHERE statements are x>0 x<0
My problem is I need to use a 3rd party app to run the script (McAfee ePO). McAfee does not recognize the UNION. My question is, can I acheive the same results as the script below, without using UNION.

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 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 am doing some analysis on our customer base and their payment profiles. I have generated two profile strings, one for whether the balance of an account has gone up or down and one for the size of the balance in relation to the normal invoice amount for the customer. So (for example) the balance movement string will look like this:
UUUDUUUDUUUD-D00 Where U = Up, D = Down, - = no change and 0 = no change and no balance
I want to analyse these strings in two ways. The first is that I want to find customers with a similar pattern: in the example below the first and last patterns are the same, just one out of sync but should be considered the same
Movement Multiple CountRecords UUUDUUUDUUUD1230123012301175 ------------0000000000001163 UDUUUDUUUDUU3012301230121082
The second type of analysis is to find customers whose pattern has changed: in the examples above the patterns are repeated and therefore 'normal' in the records below the patterns have changed in that the first part does not match the second part.
Movement Multiple CountRecords UUDUUUDUUUUU-----------07 UDUUUDUUUUUU------------7
good way to approach this without either a cursor or a hidden REBAR. The challenge as I see it is that I have to interrogate every string to find out if there is a repeating pattern and if so where it starts and how long it is (heuristic because some strings will start with a repeating pattern and then the pattern may change or deteriorate) and then compare the string for N groups of repeating characters to see if and when it changes and I can't think of an efficient method to do this in SQL because it is not a set based operation.
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.
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?
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?
The problem is when I check for a value > 00.1 in the having clause the total balance column disappears. But its ok if I use any other comparison operator. I.e < 00.1.
Any ideas.

How do I count the number of positive dollar values in a query? I have various negative and positive dollar values and want to count how many positive I have then I will know how many are negative. I cannot put >0 or >0.00 in the where because it still returns everything cuz the programmer set the datatype to be money
I am opening a simple command against a view which joins 2 tables, so that I can return a column which is defined as a tinyint in one of the tables. The SELECT looks like this: SELECT TreatmentStatus FROM vwReferralWithAdmissionDischarge WHERE ClientNumber = 138238 AND CaseNumber = 1 AND ProviderNumber = 89 The TreatmentStatus column is a tinyint. When I execute that above SQL SELECT statement in SQL Server Management Studio (I am using SQL Server 2005) I get a value of 2. But when I execute the same SQL SELECT statement as a part of a SqlDataReader and SqlCommand, I get a return data type of integer and a value of 1. Why?
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.....
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?
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?
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?
SQL 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, Reserved NVARCHAR(18), Data NVARCHAR(18), Index_Size NVARCHAR(18), Unused NVARCHAR(18) ) GO 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 FROM #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
I'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.
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 ?
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
