Question About Multiplying Value In A Field

Oct 31, 2007

Hello, I have a quick question. I'm currently using MS SQL 2005.

I have a main table which has many fields. I created a view#1 which imports all the rows from the main table but I only select the "City" field, "PurchaseDescription" field and a "Cost" field. Only the city name is unique. There are a total of 50 different city names, and each name can have more than one "PurchaseDescription" each with an associated "Cost". I would like to create a second view#2 with an added field called "Cost2". I want "Cost2" to contain the same value as the "Cost" value. However if the "PurchaseDescription" equals to "USB" then "Cost2" should be assigned the value of "Cost" multiplied by -1. If the "PurchaseDescription" content isn't equal to "USB" then "Cost2" will have the save value as "Cost".


For example,

The view#1 will have the following rows & fields (I had to pad the field with dots just to make the output look viewable on this thread)

City..............PurchaseDescription............Cost
--------------------------------------------
LA.................desk................................4.5
LA.................USB.................................5.0
LA.................USB.................................6.0
SD................chair.................................4.0
SD................door.................................10.0

The view#2 should have the following rows and fields


City..............PurchaseDescription............Cost.......Cost2
---------------------------------------------------------
LA.................desk................................4.5....... 4.5
LA.................USB.................................5.0....... -5.0
LA.................USB.................................6.0....... -6.0
SD................chair.................................4.0....... 4.0
SD................door.................................10.0....... 10.0

I don't mind if I have to use functions or more than 2 views to solve my problem. I jus need a final view that would look like view#2.

Could you please help if you can?

Thank you very much for your time and have a safe Halloween!

How Can I Stop The Totals From Multiplying

Aug 20, 2007

I have a db that tracks clients, payments, and clients codes. A client can be assigned many codes. In my query I'm asking to see any clients that have two selected codes and also of those show me those that have a sum of payments between 1 and 100000 dollars. The query returnes the clients with the selected codes, but the total payments is multiplied by the number of the codes they have of the ones that I select. In this case 'email group' or 'member'
So if a client had a total of $20,000 dollars in payments and they had both of the codes I selected the sum of payments is returned as $40,000.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Here is a sample example:
SELECT DISTINCT [Salutation], [Client_ID] AS 'Client ID', SUM([dbo].[vw_ClientTotals].[Total Payments]) AS 'Sum(Total Payments)'FROM [dbo].[All_Constituents]INNER JOIN [dbo].[tblClientCodes] ON [dbo].[tblClientCodes].[Client_ID]=[dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]INNER JOIN [dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp] ON [dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode_ID]=[dbo].[tblClientCodes].[ClientCodeLookup_ID]INNER JOIN [dbo].[vw_ClientGiftTotals] ON [dbo].[vw_ClientGiftTotals].[Client_ID]=[dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]WHERE ( ([dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode] = 'Member') OR ([dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode] = 'Email Groups') )GROUP BY [dbo].[All_Constituents].[Salutation], [dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]HAVING  (SUM([dbo].[vw_ClientTotals].[TotalPayments]) BETWEEN '1' AND '100000')

Dec 30, 2003

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.

How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type

May 17, 2015

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .

How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?

I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)

**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error

Oct 17, 2007



I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part

I tried a couple of things:

Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.

Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.

What options do I have that will work?

Transact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?

Aug 28, 2015

I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.

It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:

Inserted Value -> Result in table

123456-8 -> 123456-8      *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567-     *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789    *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567#     *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9    *Correct

Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?

I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.

Access Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field

Nov 19, 2006

Hi,

I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).

I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.

Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.

I have another table calledBidFolder which is related to both BidItem and BidAddendum, based on acolumn called RefId and one called Type, i.e. type 1 is a relationshipto BidItem and type 2 is a relationship to BidAddendum.Is there any way to specify a foreign key that will allow for thedifferent types indicating which table the relationship should existon?

Separating One Field Into Two Fields Based On A Character In The Field

Jul 20, 2005

I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

MS Access Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field

Aug 20, 2006

Hi all,



i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.



I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.



Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.



I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.



Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!



cheers

Convert Field From VarChar To Int With Speical Characters In Field

Aug 29, 2007

Hello,

I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.

How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?

Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.

UPDATE myTable SET field = CAST(field AS int)

Index In Calculated Field From A Ntext Field

Nov 8, 2005

For some reasons I have to use a ntext field for both small strings like "10" and large binalry files.

I need to sort the field to some extend to present the small strings on a sorted nice way - answers to " What country are you from" etc.

To trick the sorting I use a calculated field:

ORDER BY RSort - where Rsort is:

convert(varchar(4), RD.response) as RSort

It works but put a high load on the SQL server when the number of responses increases.

I though of making a non clustered index based on the calculated field, but is not sure that it will work as intended.

What do I do. The last thing would be to change the ntext to vchar(3800) or something like that. :confused:
