Hi,

I have the following tables :




Code Block
Create table #EmployeeList(empname nvarchar(20), emptype char(5))

Insert INTO #EmployeeList('Cary zzz',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('01 Jack',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('02 Tommy',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('03 Ricardo',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('04 Jack',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('Les zzz',null);
Insert INTO #EmployeeList('05 Tim',null);

The final data looks like this :

Cary zzz NULL
01 Jack NULL
02 Tommy NULL
03 Ricardo NULL
04 Jack NULL
Les zzz NULL
05 Tim NULL






1. I want to delete all rows which have 'zzz' in it.
2. I want to remove the numbers from the empname column




Code Block
Expected Output :

Jack NULL
Tommy NULL
Ricardo NULL
Jack NULL
Tim NULL






Can anyone help me please with the query?

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?

I am trying to get people from my table that have closed accounts. However, in my table many people have more than one account. They will have multiple closed accounts and some active accounts. I need to get the people with only closed accounts.

d.surname,
s.status,
s.closed,
s.number
from
d d inner join s s on d.number = s.number
where
s.status = 'closed'

Multiply Numbers In A Column

Mar 21, 2002

Hi

I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.

There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :

SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName

This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.

I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.

thanks....Tom

Removing Commas From Column - Now It's A Mile Long

Jun 24, 2007

Hello,

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

ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Example query and result using REPLACE:

select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails

NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------

(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns

Thanks

JM

Removing White Spaces In A Varchar Column

Sep 15, 2005

I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad

Convert Sql Smalldatetime Column Into Numbers

Aug 27, 2004

HI all;

I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement

Feb 22, 2005

I'm executing the following...

select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1

the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.

I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"

would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?

this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

Removing Duplicate Delimited Values From A Single Column?

Jun 18, 2014

I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.

For example, this one column could contain something like this:

domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser2;domainuser 3;

The need is to convert to this:

domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser3;

I know that's a tall order.

SQL Server 2008 :: Removing 00-00-00 From Varchar Column In Table?

Jul 29, 2015

I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.

For example:

The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"

I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.

Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
