I have a question about rounding and converting to percentage and adding in the '%'..This is my original code
SELECT * FROM
( SELECT Baby,
CAST( CAST( SUM(TotalBaby) AS DECIMAL )/ CAST( SUM(TotalParent) AS DECIMAL) AS DECIMAL(10,4)) as BabyValue
FROM NewBorn
WHERE Category = 'Boy'
[code]....
But I also need my data to have the '%' and it should have 2 decimal place which is as below, I have tried to make it this way
CAST( CAST( SUM(TotalBaby) AS DECIMAL )/ CAST( SUM(TotalParent) AS DECIMAL) AS DECIMAL(10,4)) * 100 + '%' as BabyValue
But it prompt me the error 'Error converting data type varchar to numeric.'
Hello I'm trying to write a SQL Statement along the lines of....
SELECT stringField + ' : ' + STR(decimalField) AS myField FROM tablename WHERE myCondition = myValue
Where stringField is a String field and decimalField is a Decimal Field in my Table. In this statement it converts the decimal field to a string value so that it doesn't throw a conversion error but unfortunatly it seems to round up the value to an integer value and cuts off all my decimal places.
This UDF will strip off the time portion of a DateTime. It can give you either midnight last night, or midnight tonight.
Lets say you have two datetime values @dateStart and @dateEnd, and you want to select records between these dates (excluding any time portion), then you would do:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateTimeColumn >= dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(@dateStart, 0) AND MyDateTimeColumn < dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(@dateEnd, 1)
If you want to display dates, without the time, then do:
SELECT dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(MyDateColumn, 0) AS [My Date] FROM MyTable
-- PRINT 'Create function kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound' GO IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound]') AND xtype IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF')) DROP FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound ( @dtDatedatetime,-- Date Value to adjust @intRoundint-- 0=Round down [Midnight last night], 1=Round up [Midnight tonight] ) RETURNS datetime /* WITH ENCRYPTION */ AS /* * kk_fn_UTIL_DateRoundConvert date to midnight tonight *For a "limit" date of '01-Jan-2000' the test needs to be *MyColumn < '02-Jan-2000' *to catch any item with a time during 1st Jan * *SELECTdbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(GetDate(), 0)-- Midnight last night *SELECTdbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(GetDate(), 1)-- Midnight tonight * * Returns: * * datetime * * HISTORY: * * 28-Jul-2005 KBM Started */ BEGIN
I have the following query where I am selecting the random row. However I need to select 10% randon rows from the tables. How do I do this? select top 1 * from table ORDER BY NEWID()
I need rate to be a percent, it is returning 1 where XX=YY (e.g 100/100=1), but when the number (rate) is a fraction (90/100=.9)I am getting 0. Don't know what the problem is.
select XX as X, YY as Y, (YY/XX) as rate from blah where blah group by XX, YY order by XX

I have questions table and questions are categorized. I want to query say Top 10 questions but with some percentage based on category. For example, if I have 10 questions in category 1 and 50 questions in category 2 than when I select Top 10 with some percentage I want to come out more questions from category 2 than category 1.
I'd like to understant the Percent Log Used behavior... I monitored the Percent Log Used. For a specific database, it was 50 % used. I backup up the transaction log and the Percent Log Used was still 50 % used. For another database, the log was 60 % used. After the backup, it was 80 % used!!!! Would you help me to understant this situation? Thank you, Fabio
I am trying to take a string code seen below that gives me the income over a 12 month time frame but now I need to take this string and divide it by the acqcost. and it will not let me can you please take a look at this and see whats wrong.
(This string is what gives me the income) =sum(Fields!Total.Value)-Sum(IIF(Fields!eqprecdt.Value< #6/1/2007#,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07*-1 * datediff("d",#5/31/2008#,Fields!eqprecdt.Value)/365))
(This string is the acq cost) SUM(Fields!acqcost.Value)
Hi all As you are aware we have TOP n [Percent] keyword that is used in Select statements ,I have a question?? When this keyword is evaluated by Sql-Server, after retreiving all Query-Result or upon the number of results reach to the specified number,sql-server stops retrieving the rest of record.?
I a bit of newbie making reports and I cant figure out how to calculate the Percent of Total on a report. Assuming I have a field in my datatable called Color, I simply want to create a report that counts the occurences of each color and then perform a calculation as to what percent of the total that each of the colors make up. Basically a report that looks like this....
Color Count Percent Red 50 25% Blue 100 50%
Green 50 25% Total 200
I have a table that has a header, a grouping row based on Color, and a footer. So using the report expressions, my table looks like this
Color Count Percent =Fields!Color.Value =Count(Fields!Color.Value) WHAT EXPRESSION GOES HERE?!?!?!
I have a table of data, shown below that is composed of a scoreid, player id, and score. Using the following SQL Query: "Select Top 50 Percent(score), playerid, scoreid from TScores where playerid = 5 order by score" I can get the lowest 50% of player number 5's scores. How do I rewrite the query to give me each individual player's top 50 percent.
I have a script file which do the replication and in the script there is a lot of table need to be addad as article.
So while use osql execute the script there would be cost a lot of time. What I want to do is show a dialog which could show the progress percent and the file name which is now being addad as article.
I am trying to use this command to change the variable in where clause each time:
psexec servername -E cmd.EXE /c "sqlcmd -S servername /E -d dbname -v entertext="'%anything%'" -i c:myfoldermyscript.sql -o c:mypathoutput.sql" myscript.sql is like: select * from table_name where summary like $(entertext);
This command works just for variables with single and exact word. It does not work for variables which has space between them or when I enter part of summary.In fact, I wanted to write something which the user be able to enter variable each time when he/she run this batch file. because I put this sqlcmd command in batch file( like this in oracle: "select * from table_name where summary = &entertext; " I was looking the same command in sql server , but I did not find it). I do not know .net or any other programing language( I know just csh and command line). I want to do this just with sql command.
I am using SQL Server and have a table that is currently set to decimal(5,2) as the datatype. I am using Tableau as my front-end and if I create a dashboard, I can see my fields like 65.25, 65.72, etc. I want to view them as 65.25% however when I change the data type in Tableau to a %, it shows up as 6525.25%. Is there a way in the SQL Server side to change the column so it shows as a percent? I am sure the answer is no because I have never seen that. Only seen decimal values. Maybe I need to change it to decimal 2.2 if that even exists.
I have a data containing salesman who can belong to groups. The groups have "split" values but the splits are not on a percent basis. Can I create a query to get the percentage in a column? Please look at the table below and my attempted query.
Hi!How can I get percent of executed procedure in MSSQL Server, lik inEnterprise Manager and/or dbMgr2k ?I use Visual C# and MSDE.Thank's for help, gregory
This is my issue. I have values in my table that I need to format as a percent. So when I use the FormatPercent() function, it works but if one of the records has no value for that field. It generates a #Error message in that textbox. I tried using an if statement and that didn't work either. Someone please help me with this. Any information is appreciated.
I am trying to get a percent of a group on a row level. I want 62.77% or = sum(totaldeals, "Status") / sum(totaldeals, "Product"). It seems real easy but I have not been able to come up with a solution for it.
Any one have any ideas?
Product is a group, status is a group, total deals is a sum. The reason for a matrix is because I have fiscal year, fiscal quarter, fiscal month, and additional product lines coming on board. Matrix is the way to go for sum but I can't seem to get the % by product.
I was able to get the % on the row level but based on the report total with the following code: =IIF(Sum(Fields!GrossSales.Value,"matrix1_Product")=0,0,Sum(Fields!GrossSales.Value)/IIF(Sum(Fields!GrossSales.Value,"matrix1_FianceStatus")=0,1,Sum(Fields!GrossSales.Value,"matrix1_FinanceStatus")))
This is the concept of what I am trying to do but I want it based on the on the product level sum not the matrix level sum. I tried changing the scopes of the above expression with no luck. I have tried adding inscope("") with no luck.
Product Status Total Deals Total Dollar Amount % of Total Dollars
I am having a problem retaining the right 2 decimal places in my datagrid field. I have it defined as a decimal but when the update happens it rounds the decimal places back to .00. Dim NewMarkup As String 'retrieve the new values NewMarkup = CType(e.Item.FindControl("Markup"), TextBox).Text 'create the ado.net objects Dim command As New SqlCommand("UpdatePricing", connection) command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure 'parameters command.Parameters.Add("@Markup", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5) command.Parameters("@Markup").Value = CDec(NewMarkup) Thanks!
I have a problem with the following query in SQLExpress:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT ClientSurname, ClientName FROM dbo.Client ORDER BY ClientSurname, ClientName
The query returns always assorted data ignoring the ORDER BY keyword, no matter if the query is invoked directly from Management Studio Express CTP as a View, Table-valued function or called from an Access ADP project. The result is always assorted.¨
Now an interesting thing is that the syntax below returns always an expected order:
SELECT TOP (99) PERCENT … SELECT TOP 10000 …
Am I missing something or is it a bug in SQLExpress?
Hiya, I have a need for a complex SQL statement to provide reporting information, but the SQL is way over my head and although I have some of the elements, I can't seem to pull them together to create a working SQL statement. My database structure is as outlined below:
and then for A2, etc (although missing out A3 as it is a text item, but I can deal with that via ASP code beforehand). I would expect to have to hit the DB for each of the IRVitems (so once for getting the data for A1, againfor A2, etc).
I was provided a great bit of code to use SUBSTRING and GROUP BY to get this data (thanks zuomin), but I didn't consider the possible text values or numbers >9 when defining what I was trying to do (to be fair, they're new requirements):
SELECT SUBSTRING(IRVvalues, 1, 1) AS Value, COUNT(ID) AS Count FROM tblIRV GROUP BY SUBSTRING(IRVvalues, 1, 1) ORDER BY value
which returns like this:
Value Count 1 187 2 163 3 2
Can I do a similar query to get all the info I need in one go? I saw the articale on a user-defined 'split' function (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SQLExamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=StringArrayInput&referringTitle=Home) that can be used to split up the IRVvalues string to access the position I need in the array, but I'm a little clueless on how to then embed that into a SQl statement. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
We are running sql server 2005 standard edition. In the query below, it has top percent clause in the subquery and returns various rows, 2, or 3, or 4 rows each times when running manually one after another. Does anyone have an explaination?
SELECT dbo.WOB_STEP.STEP_UID FROM dbo.WOB_STEP INNER JOIN dbo.CURRENT_DATES CD1 ON (dbo.WOB_STEP.CD_UID=CD1.CD_UID) WHERE ( dbo.WOB_STEP.STEP_UID IN (SELECT TOP (50) PERCENT WITH TIES STEP_UID FROM dbo.vWOB_STEP_RANDOM WHERE OPERATOR_NAME = 'Jennelyn Llobrera' AND VENDOR_RETURN_FLAG = 1 ORDER BY RandomID) )
I want to create a subset of a geography table. My intention is to select only a few cities with a where and after that select a percent of village for each of the cities. My query look like this:
 SELECT TOP 160 [CodMunicipio] ,[NombreMunicipio] ,[CodProv],[Provincia] ,[COMUNIDAD AUTÓNOMA]    ,[Longitud ETRS89/REGCAN95],[Latitud ETRS89/REGCAN95]    ,[XUTM ETRS89/REGCAN95],[YUTM ETRS89/REGCAN95],[Bandera]   --INTO [PracticasSCD].DBO.DIMGEOGRAFIA FROM [SportFunDW].[dbo].[DimGeografia2] TABLESAMPLE (3 PERCENT)
[Code] ....
I have tried with tablesample but it doesn´t return what I expect because I have many villages from one city (for example 15 % of it) and only 2 % of other. How can I achieve my goal?
Code Snippet use master select top 25 percent id from ( select top 112 * from syscolumns ) d order by id desc
Script below returns 57 rows, must return 56!

Could anyone from MS SQL server team clarify what's happened and WHAT TO DO?
Does anyone know how to get over their dreadfull divide by zero error. I keep getting the error, i have changed this code so much. I need to get the percent increase from 2007-2008 ("Total") in this table grouping. I know im getting the error in some of the fields, because sometimes the total is 0 and sometimes the 2007 is 0. What do i do?
Hi AllI have just upgraded to SQL2005 and found an annoying problem. WheneverI add a new view or amend an existing one (created in SQL 2000Enterprise Manager) it inserts TOP 100 Percent into the SQL query. Evenif I delete the clause from the SQL query it puts it straight back inagain. This is a problem as there are some queries where I just don'twant this clause there (ADO.NET cannot update a view with a TOP clause)Any ideas anyone?Many thanksIan Bell*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I have used SSRS 2005 to create a matrix and need to add a % of variance column. Is this possible? I hope I'm missing something simple. Basically the report should look like this:
Item CurVol PriorVol % of Var CurSales PriorSales % of Var
abc 100 90 11% 1250 990 26%
cde 96 128 -25% 192 243 -21%
Dataset looks this this:
Select item, vol, sales, 'Current' AS Per
FROM Table WHERE (invoice_date >= @curStartDate) AND (invoice_date < @curEndDate + 1) UNION
Select item, vol, sales, 'Prior' AS Per
FROM Table WHERE (invoice_date >= @priorStartDate) AND (invoice_date < @priorEndDate + 1)
The column group on the matrix is using the Per column because the accounting periods cross over calendar months.
