Query Analyzer Shows Negative Numbers As Positive Numbers

Jul 20, 2005

Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matter
whether they are truly positive or negative ?

I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there are
any negative numbers being hidden from me :(

I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings both
on and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, but
no improvement.

Am I missing some other option somewhere ?

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.

How To Round With Negative Numbers?

Jul 23, 2005

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

Formatting Numbers In A Mixed Column (numbers In Some Cells Strings In Other Cells) In Excel As Numbers

Feb 1, 2007

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.

I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.

The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.

Any suggestions?

Problems Importing Negative Numbers From Excel

Aug 14, 2007

Hi there,

I am trying to import about 3300 lines of data from excel. Some of the columns in excel have negative, positive and even 0 as numbers.

I have matched those columns in the DB and have tried all the different data types that i thought should work, but on import, all negative and 0 numbers get dropped.

I have played with the excel formatting as well, but nothing seems to work.

Anyone encounter this before?
Thanks,

Can't Convert Negative Numbers From String Format

Oct 11, 2007

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-

The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!

I Need To Update A Table With Random Numbers Or Sequential Numbers

Mar 11, 2008

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.

Dataflow To Excel - Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers Excel Cell Error

Mar 27, 2007

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.

Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:

Convert numbers stored as text to numbers

Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.

I'm hearing this a common problem -

On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:

<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>

is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.

Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.

So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

QA Returning Negative #s As Positive

Mar 30, 2004

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.

How Do You Convert A Number From Negative To Positive?

Jan 18, 2008

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?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Summing - Adding A Negative And A Positive

Mar 20, 2014

I have a query that brings in a result from a table that I have to display as a negative, so I use ABS (tbname.fieldname) *-1

This works fine. (Learnt it here from a previous post.)

I have another query that brings in a result from the same table but as a postive. So that works fine too.

Now, I need to sum them together in a new query. If the total value is a positive, fine. If the total value is a negative, it displays as a positive.

My question. Is it actually possible to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Output example below - narrow result for testing.

idpt2 Value2SumQty
N1141307-80970 3.80 2
N1141S2G00009D070 26.16 2

The 3.80 is correct, it is a positive.

The 26.16 is incorrect as it is the output from sum 235.44 -261.6 so I need it to display as -26.6

Treat Data Differently For Positive Vs Negative #

Oct 11, 2005

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.

SELECT ReportFullPathNode.FullPathName,

Group By Positive Or Negative Number In Table

May 7, 2008

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!

Creating A Blank Row In A Table Between Positive && Negative Values

Oct 29, 2007

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,

SQL Server 2012 :: Pattern Matching (positive Across Records - Negative Within A Field)

Jan 6, 2015

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.

Reporting Services :: Make Bar Chart Color Red If Number Is Negative And Green If It Is Positive?

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?

Adding Numbers While Doing Query

Mar 28, 1999

I used this with an access DB and would like to re-write it to work with
sql.

sql = "SELECT funds.itemdisc, Sum(IIf(funds.status='Credit'"
sql = sql & ",CDbl(funds.fundamount),0,)) AS income, Sum(IIf funds.status='Debt'"

sql = sql & ",-1*CDbl(funds.fundamount),0)) AS outgo"
sql = sql & " FROM funds "
sql = sql & "GROUP BY funds.itemdisc"

What I am doing here is collecting the columns and using status as
credit or debt, if its debt I am subtracting from outgo if it is credit
I am adding to credit. This also will only select records so that
there are not any double listings. Here is an example.

DB
desc status fundamount
bill debt 10.00
bill debt 15.00
in credit 10.00
bills debt 5.00
in credit 5.00
paper debt 5.00

When I do the query I should have this

desc fundamount
bill -25.00
bills - 5.00
paper - 5.00
in 15.00

Something like that...

What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

Query Help - Sequential Numbers

Apr 27, 1999

I have a query which returns information about transactions similar to this:

Select account, trans_code, quantity
from ledger_table

This returns something like:

acct trans_code quantity
----- ---------- ------------
2 2 1000
2 3 500
2 3 300
3 2 100
3 2 500
etc.

What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:

acct trans_code quantity lot
----- ---------- ------------ ---
2 2 1000 1
2 3 500 1
2 3 300 2
3 2 100 1
3 2 500 2
3 3 1000 3
3 5 200 1
etc.

The lot number is reset for each grouping.

Does anyone have a way to do this outside of a cursor or temp table?

TIA, any help greatly appreciated.

How To Get Row Numbers From SQL Express 2005 Query?

Nov 11, 2007

Hi, I'm using SQL Express 2005 and VIsual Studio 2005, and this sounds like it should be easy. I'm trying to return the row numbers of my queries, but if I use the Row_Number() command I get the following error: "The OVER SQL construct or statement is not supported." So, is Row_Number() not supported in SQL Express 2005? If not, how can I return row numbers with my queries? Or, more specifically, how can I return a limited result set from a query (i.e. Return only row number 10-20)? My current command is as follows: SELECT (SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY UserName) As RowNumber), *FROM UsersORDER BY UserName Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Automatically Adding Numbers To Query

Jun 4, 2008

Hello everyone!

I have a question for you. I have a product database with a lookup that pulls by product number. All my product numbers are made up the same way. IE. N59840, N00951, N00951. ect.

I have a stored procedure that looks up by that product number with a "LIKE" statement that looks like this.

WHERE ([Product#] LIKE '%' + @PRODUCTNUM + '%')

Which has this problem if someone types in "852" it returns

N00852
N05852
N98852

Is there anyway that I can have SQL put in zeros to fill up the 5 number spots so "852" brings up "00852" or "5852" brings up "05852"

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you for your help!!!

Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.If my database had the following numbers available:101104105110111112113114It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update queryto change the flags to 1 (checked out).I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - havenot been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with thefollowing:SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL NWHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 ANDFLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and geterrors, probably incorrect syntax.

I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.

Sp_spaceused Shows Negative Unallocated Space

Hi All,

When i run sp_spaceused on one of my database, PROD, it gives the following output

reserved: 4654920 KB
data: 2929008 KB
index_size: 327272 KB
unused: 1398640 KB

Why is that the unallocated space is negative ?

On the drive where the datafiles resides there is enough free space . Also, the datafile and transaction are set to auto grow with unlimited file growth

FYI - the OS is Windows 2000 and the DB is SQL Server 2000 with SP3

Appreciate your time and help on this.
