Return Numeric Value All As +ve Numbers

May 16, 2008

Hi All,

I have a table Called Elasticity. Including some other fields it has a field called ElastVal of decimal type (2 places). The records for just this field are like this (example);

ElastVal
-450.88
-32.99
1.22
56.77
0.99

In my select I want to return all the fields from the Elasticity table including Elasticity in a way that even the negative numbers will be reterive as positive.

So in the above example the output should be;
ElastVal
450.88
32.99
1.22
56.77
0.99

How Can I do this in my select?

Please help.

How To Insert Numbers From A Text Box To A Sql Database Table Column’s Type Numeric?

Nov 3, 2004

Hi,

I am getting an error when I try to insert a number typed in a text box control into a Sql database table column’s type numeric(6,2). For example: If I type 35,22 into the text box, or 35, and then I submit the form to insert the data into database, I get the follow error:

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
Line 428: CmdInsert.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Measure", SqlDbType.decimal, "Measure"))

A piece of the SP inside Sql server:

USE market26
GO
ALTER PROC new_offer
@Offer_id bigint, @Measure numeric(6,2) = null, …

What is wrong? Why it doesn’ t accept the number typed in my text box?

Thank you,

Function To Return Greater Of Two Numbers

Greetings,

Is there anything new on returning max of two values in SQL 05? There seems to be nothing I have searched everywhere. Only option might be to create my own UDF or do a CASE statement, but I could not believe my eyes there is no such thing?

Return Only Numeric Characters From A String Column

Dec 4, 2007

I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.

select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1

But I have discovered that the following

SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('�')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')

all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.

If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.

I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.

Thanks for looking at this.

I need to call the stored procedure below. Basically what I need to know is if the query returns a record?

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 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.

Pattern Matching - Searching For Numeric Or Alpha Or Alpha-Numeric Characters In A String

Aug 18, 2006

Hi,

I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.

Wildcard
Meaning

%

Any string of zero or more characters.

_

Any single character.

[ ]

Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).

Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).

Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.

In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:

WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"

After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:

WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'

using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.

Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Regards,

Patrick Briggs,
Pasadena, CA

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.

Return Error Code (return Value) From A Stored Procedure Using A Sql Task

Feb 12, 2008

I have a package that I have been attempting to return a error code after the stored procedure executes, otherwise the package works great.

I call the stored procedure from a Execute SQL Task (execute Marketing_extract_history_load_test ?, ? OUTPUT)
The sql task rowset is set to NONE. It is a OLEB connection.

I have two parameters mapped:

tablename input varchar 0 (this variable is set earlier in a foreach loop) ADO.
returnvalue output long 1

I set the breakpoint and see the values change, but I have a OnFailure conditon set if it returns a failure. The failure is ignored and the package completes. No quite what I wanted.

The first part of the sp is below and I set the value @i and return.

CREATE procedure [dbo].[Marketing_extract_history_load_TEST]

@table_name varchar(200),

@i int output

as

Why is it not capturing and setting the error and execute my OnFailure code? I have tried setting one of my parameter mappings to returnvalue with no success.

'Return' Statement In A Function,Get,or Operator Must Return A Value....Question

Aug 28, 2007

I'm a Reporting Services New-Be.

I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.

I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).

When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.

I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.

[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.

I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8x403818(VS.80).aspx

My guess is that BIDS is creating some VB code behind the scenes for the report.

I can't find any other information that seems to fit this error.

The other reports in the BIDS project built successfully before I added this report, so it must be something specific to the report.

BTW, the Stored Procedure this report is based on a global temp table. The other reports do not use temp tables.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

Using Output Clause And Return Timestamp And Return Value

Oct 28, 2006

I am trying to bring my stored proc's into the 21st century with try catch and the output clause. In the past I have returned info like the new timestamp, the new identity (if an insert sproc), username with output params and a return value as well. I have checked if error is a concurrency violation(I check if @@rowcount is 0 and if so my return value is a special number.)

I have used the old goto method for trapping errors committing or rolling back the transaction.

Now I want to use the try,catch with transactions. This is easy enough but how do I do what I had done before?

I get an error returning the new timestamp in the Output clause (tstamp is my timestamp field -- so I am using inserted.tstamp).

Plus how do I check for concerrency error. Is it the same as before and if so would the check of @@rowcount be in the catch section?

So how to return timestamp and a return value and how to check for concurrency all in the try/catch.

by the way I read that you could not return an identity in the output clause but I had no problem.

Thanks for help on this

Transact SQL :: Return Set Of Values From SELECT As One Of Return Values From Stored Procedure

Aug 19, 2015

I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.

SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains

For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.

SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName

Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:

ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)

How can I code a stored procedure to do this?

Using Numeric Data

Sep 7, 2004

The data type in the table is decimal with a precision set to 19 and a scale set to 2 and nothing for the default value.

I need to use updates or inserts that will allow a value of nothing or null to be inserted.

UPDATE TableName SET fldAmount = '' WHERE fldIssue = 'ABC'

But this fails because of the amount field.

This statement works, but is not good for me because 0 is not accurate.
UPDATE TableName SET fldAmount = '0' WHERE fldIssue = 'ABC'

How can I insert nothing?

Thanks

Character Or Numeric As PK

Mar 14, 2001

Hello,
I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.

Numeric Nightmares !!!

Jun 20, 2001

Is there a numeric data type that formats the number with commas - eg 1000 becomes 1,000 and 1000000 becomes 1,000,000.
Having tried several numeric data types the commas are removed. I tried entering 1000 into MS Access on the same machine and hey presto - it spits out 1,000.

WHERE Alphanumeric = Numeric

Dec 20, 2007

All,

I'm having trouble with a query where I need to limit a resultset by comparing (using a WHERE clause) a field that is alphanumeric with one that is numeric. I've tried converting, casting, and case statements, but I either get an overflow error or a big slap on the wrist by SQL Server 2005. Does anyone have any good solutions to this? I've been racking my brain for a while now.

Thanks for the help!

Primary Key Has To Be Numeric?

Nov 15, 2007

I'm trying to run ab insert statement:

INSERT INTO [AdventureWorksDW].[dbo].[DimSaleType]

([SaleType]

,[Description])

VALUES

('I',

'Internet Sales')

.... Error:

Msg 8152, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

String or binary data would be truncated.

The statement has been terminated.

Table info
-------------
SaleType pk char(1)
SaleTypeDescription nchar(10)

It seems that the primary key field accepts numeric data, isn't it possible to have a primary key with non-numeric data? This is because this is a lookup table with a small number of rows.

Float And Numeric

I am keep getting an arithmetic overflow converting float to type numeric when running a script that looks something like this.

insert into table1
(

from source server.

column1 is a numeric (28,8) and column2 is float.
there are about 2000000 records in column2, and I know that when I tried just copying the top 1000000 wasn't a problem.

does anyone know what could be causing this problem???

*it's not because the data in column2 is out of range.
