i wonder what is the best approach to use !!!i have creditLimit column in Customer Table the default value will be 500 and this limit to allow users to send sms from my website ..... every month they will be allowed to send 500 sms referring to the credit limit column.... now !!if the user sent today some sms and after few days sent another 20 and after one week he sent 150 SMS as a total so that means he has only 350 SMS as credit to use this month!!!so what is the best approach to implement this solution ? shall i have another field in the table called 'CreditUsed' and that will be updated each time the user will send SMS and this value will be compared with the credit limit ORi use the formula for the column to calculate the credit left and do the maths !!!what is the best approach as you think ???thnaks for reading this question !!
hi there. I have asked this question before in a different section of the forum without much reply, and its probably because i was asking the wrong people. I need to calculate a qouta for an election. SqlCommand SqlCmd1 = new SqlCommand("SELECT count(vote)FROM PRTest", SqlCon1); int quota = (count(Vote) + 1) / ((11) + 1); My problem is this: how to i get the count(vote) value from the Sql Statement to the formula.
This does nothing:([rush24] + [rush6] + [addLocationsTotal] + 50) This gives me my total correctly:([rush24] + [rush6] + 50) All column are numeric(9) except the "total" column which is numeric(13). Why is this happening?
I want to use the proprity Formula related to a column propreties : Exempel : table XFRS i want to pupulate the field XF2 (int 4) using the value of another Field XF1 (int 4) Which is an identity field.

I have a quick question. created a report with this formula below. It works when I put a date range from 1-1-2007 to 2-1-2007, but when I put in a date range of 03-01-2008 through 03-31-2008. i get an error message of arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numberic.
So instead of haveing the formula below be (4,2) I put it as (5,2) and now it work. Why is that?
CAST(clm_sppo / clm_tchg * 100 AS decimal(4, 2)) AS PercentSavings
in front end application,iam using pivot table,there is no option to create the growth rate calcuation/formula in FE.
my table data consists like below: country_name Revenue PERIOD_TYPE_OUT Amount_out UK Solutions01 Apr 2007 To 31 Mar 200856.83000000 UK Solutions01 Apr 2006 To 31 Mar 2007116.07000000
while iam using the cross tab in front end application data view is coming as country_name
01 Apr 2006 To 31 Mar 2007 01 Apr 2007 To 31 Mar 2008 solution solution uk 116.07 56.83
Actual o/p should be:
01 Apr 2006 To 31 Mar 2007 01 Apr 2007 To 31 Mar 2008 Growth solution solution uk 116.07 56.83 -0.51
can anybody tell how to calcualate growth in stored procedure level formala for calculating growth rate is : (56.83-116.07)/116.07 ([current year]-[previous year])/[previous year]
i have two tables .Table 1 contains certain columns with values.Table 2 shud get those data from table1 into its column and display the calculated result. Any idea how do i go abt it,bcuz table2 shud contain a formula so as to calculate.
SELECT ID, CalibScoreAVGQA, COUNT(CalibScoreAVGQA) AS Expr1 FROM dbo.TechPhonesCalibScoreAVGQA
Any idea why I'm getting "dbo.TechPhonesCalibScoreAVGQA.ID is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause
Hi,I have three tables in the following structure (simplified):Table 1: Containing the customers-------------------------------------------------create table Customers([cusID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[cusName] varchar(25) not null)Table 2: Containing the customer data fields---------------------------------------------------------------create table Data([datID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[datName] varchar(25) not null,[datFormula] varchar(1500))Table 3: Containing the customer data values-----------------------------------------------------------------create table Values([cusID] int not null,[datID] int not null,[valValue] sql_variant)In this structure the user can add as many data fields to a customer ashe wants (e.g. Country, City, Email, Phone, ...). I have added triggerswhich create a view similar to a pivot (I am working in SQL 2000) andadd triggers to the view so it is insertable, deletable and updateable.What I would like to do, is allow the user to create new fields wherethe values are based upon a calculation. This calculation would be donethrough a formula similar to what he would do e.g. in excel (thisformula is stored in the dimFormula field then).An example might help. Let's assume the user created a field 'Sales'(containing last year's sales) and 'Invoices' (containing the number ofinvoices that were created for him last year). Now, he wants to createa field 'AvgSales' with the formula '[Sales]/[Invoices]'.(Note that through adding these data fields, the above view was created(let's assume it is called vw_Customers and contains the columns [ID],[Name], [Sales], [Invoices], [AvgSales]).What I am looking for is a function which can parse this formula into at_sql query which runs the calculation. So, the formula'[Sales]/[Invoices]' would be translated into (let's assume there areno records with NULL or zero invoices):update vw_Customersset [AvgSales] = [Sales]/[Invoices]from vw_CustomersI am able to do the above with simple calculations (where you can evenuse sql functions e.g. year, len, ...). Now I would like to take thisone step forward into the possibility of using functions with morevariables.For example. Let's assume, the user wants to add a rating (field called'Rating') to his customers based upon the result of 'AvgSales. Heenters the formula 'if([AvgSales] > 2500, 'A', 'B')'.If anyone could help me on this, I would be very grateful. Thanks.M

I'm really sure it's not some complicated formula (because I managed to recover other fields) . I just want to reverse the formula used to "encrypt" this data. Thank you. Excuse my english.
In the third column I'm trying to stated if the dates are different but when i change the first column to show just the date and not the time it still says they are different. How can i round or change the first column to just reflect the date and not the time so i can compare it to the second column.
Hi everyone, I have a small dilema here. I am running SSRS 2000, and I have a report that is grouped by Part Number. I have =Fields!Formula.Value < .1 so I can view only what is greater than .1 Well, my problem is that when I put it under the group Visibility properties, it does not pull all the data. and if i put it under detail Visibility. It does show me everything but any Part Number that is less than .1 shows just the part number but no detail. How can I make my report show all my data but without leaving data out????
OK, I'm new to Excel 2007 but have used excel for a long time. I have a column of numbers and I'm trying to add them up. I click Sum, I highlight to cells I want to add and hit enter and it comes up with zero. The formula looks fine =SUM(G125:G127) and there are numbers in those cells (that don't add to zero) but it keeps adding them to zero. Can someone tell me why before I put my fist through my monitor?
When I go in and just click on once cell and then hit + and then another and + and another and + and then hit enter, I get #VALUE. So there must be something about how the numbers in the cells are formatted?? They look like numbers to me? Thanks, Peter

My knowledge level? create a scalar procedure to loop thru Table B using cursor three time to bring back one contact at a time. this just seem inefficient. can I make one pass thru the data.
Newbie problem: Working with SQL Server 2000 (web admin), I have a table named OrderItems created with this query:
CREATE TABLE dbo.OrderItem (fkOrderID int NOT NULL, fkMenuItemID int NOT NULL, ItemSize nvarchar(50) NOT NULL, ItemName nvarchar(50) NOT NULL, Quantity int NOT NULL, LineValue money NOT NULL)
I have created a second table that will contain summary data (total quantity for each item):
CREATE TABLE dbo.OrderItemTotal (fkMenuItemID int NOT NULL, ItemName nvarchar(50) NOT NULL, TotalQuantity int NOT NULL)
I want to draw the fkMenuItemID and ItemName directly from the OrderItem table and have the TotalQuantity column dynamically sum the total number of items for each fkMenuItemID so that as orders are added, the OrderItemTotal table is automatically updated.
This sort of thing is easy in a spreadsheet using formulas, so I assume that there must be comparable methods in T-SQL. From browsing the archives I get the sense that I may need a calculated formula within a stored procedure. This is what I have so far, which does not contain a calculated formula for the TotalQuantity column.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_InsertOrderItemTotal @MenuItemID int, @ItemName varchar(50), AS INSERT INTO OrderItemTotal VALUES(@MenuItemID, @ItemName)
Am I on the right track with my thinking? Where do I go from here? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a products database on my online store that records 2 columns for each product:DateAdded: the datetime the item was addedTotalSales: the total sales generated since the item was added to the siteI have already figured out how to calculate best sellers with this formula:TotalSales / TotalDays I am adding a computed column to my database, I need to calculate the followingTotalSales / ("this is where i need something to use today's date and calculate how many days it has been since it was added")Then if I can do that, I will automatically have a column that will give me a number ranking each of my items.
I have a table with 2 columns and I want to have a 3rd column that combines the 1st and 2nd column automatically and populates the 3rd column.
i know this can be done with the Formula option in the 3rd column but I dont know how to combine columns. One is of datatype int and the other is of datatype varchar.
Here are my column names etc.
name var -------------------- step int action varchar
Hi,I'm struggling to get a calculated column to work in sql, the fields to be calculated are:[AdRevenue_a] money[Admissions_a] int[DoorPrice_a] smallmoney[DoorSplit_a] moneyAnd the calculation I require is:(AdRevenue_a / ( (Admissions_a * DoorPrice_a) - DoorSplit_a )) * 100This is what I think it should be but it doesn't work...convert(decimal(6,2), ((AdRevenue_a / ((Admissions_a * DoorPrice_a) - DoorSplit_a))*100) ))Any suggestions??
