I have a value in a column '01-08-087-0101W5'. I would like to break this value down into 5 different columns. The column will be broken down at the dashes , so the 5 columns will have values like
01
08
087
101
5
I would also like to trim any leading 0's in the above values. i have been trying the following
SUBSTRING(column1,patindex('%[^0]%',column1) ,2) AS FROM_TWP
Hi All,
Can we use the SUBSTRING or PATINDEX function with a User Defined Function as one of the parameters? Something like this:
Code Block
Select SUBSTRING(Select * from DB.dbo.Function('Parameter'), PATINDEX('%\%', Select * from DB.dbo.Function('Parameter'), 8)

hi,
i have labels for data stored in one cell
eg: item1; item22; item231;
and i want to convert it in following output
(probably using substring and charindex)
No_question| item_position | label
1|1| item1
1|2| item22
1|3| item231
any idea?
I have data as below:
columnA
D7 330 4/13/2014 0:0:0 KUL PVG 4/13/2014 18:35:0 4/13/2014 19:15:0 4/13/2014 23:45:0 4/14/2014 0:45:0
How can I separate it to 5 additional columns?
columnB: D7 330 4/13/2014 0:0:0
columnC: KUL PVG 4/13/2014 18:35:0
columnD: 4/13/2014 19:15:0
columnE: 4/13/2014 23:45:0
columnF: 4/14/2014 0:45:0
I have two columns "Project Name" and "Flag".

Part 1: When there is ~ (tilde) and has any value after it then it goes into a new row and duplicating the other columns like the facility in the screenshot attached and new column having the sequence.
Part 2: When there is ^ (Caret) its a new column irrespective of a value present or not
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Equipment](

I created the table in excel and attached the screenshot for a clear picture as to what is required. I use text to Columns in excel to achieve this not sure if there is anything similar in sql.
I have a report with several matrix objects. The data contained in each matrix is simple. One matrix has one column of labels and a column of data. The other has 3 columns of data. Both matrix's only show about 25 rows of data. A variable amount of data is displayed above the matrix's so that sometime the render across a page boundary. Whenever this happens the matrix doesn't render rows down to the bottom of the page. A considerable amount of empty space is left on the page, the completed matrix is displayed on the next page. I'm wondering how to get the matrix to render in this empty space.
This problem only occurs when I view the report on screen, in the Visual Studio "Preview" window, or from the Report Server web site. Tiff, pdf and printed output doesn't contain the extra space.
I've tried adding my matrix to a List and a Rectangle to see of this would fix the problem but it didn't help.
I've check the dimensions and margins or the page and I don't think I have any sizing problems, everything should fit on the page.

Good morning.
I was wondering if someone would point out my flaw. I am attempting to get information separated by spaces, placed into separate columns. I tried without success several times yesterday to get what I desired and was not able to get it done. I am fairly new at developing SQL code and am low on the SQL coding totem pole of experience but would like your help.
Here is what I have so far.
SELECT
CONVERT(char(16), SUBSTRING(c1,
1,
PATINDEX('% %', c1))) SSI_House_Number,
CONVERT(char(15), SUBSTRING(c1,
PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1,
LEN(c1)-PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1)) SSI_Directional
FROM
t1
WHERE
c2 = 4254
My problem arises when I, in the second column, attempt to get only the information BETWEEN the first space: PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1 and the second space. I am coming up short and would like someone to point out my error or assist me in getting the query pointed in the right direction.
Thanks,

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
My database is not case-sensitive, but I want output like...
SELECT patindex('%[A-Z]%','gaurang Ahmedabad')
The output should be first occurrence of uppercase A to Z, so output should be 9 it should not be 1.
Above query is giving output as 1 bcoz the 1st character in the expression is 'g' and it is in A to Z, but this is not capital 'G'. The 1st capital letter in the expression is 'A' (9th character in the expression).
Is there anyway to achieve this using PATINDEX? or Is there any other way to achieve this?

Hi,
How to search the last occurance of one String in to another string..Using function PATINDEX() in a column of data type Text..
plz Give some solution i really need it ...
Thanks Yogesh
Alright, I am trying to write a query that will select a column.. then search through the column and return me the fields with no underscores in them.
i.e we have fields that are like ABCD and ABCD_1. I want to basically return all of them up to the underscore.
so i am trying to use a substring combined with patindex. Here is my statement for patindex. patindex('%_%', short_name)
however, i cannot get patindex to ignore the fact that _ is a wildcard and treat it as character. Ive tried ('%[_]%', short_name) and ive tried ('%!_%', short_name) escape '!' and i just keep getting errors... If someone could help me out, that would be most appreciated. thank you.
I have a number of columns I'm selecting from a table, and I'd like to use PATINDEX to search for a string within a field. Upon finding this string it would return another string...:
SELECT
CASE PARTNERID
WHEN PATINDEX('%INX%',PARTNERID)>0 THEN 'AXXENT'
ELSE PARTNERID
END AS PARTNERID
However, I'm getting this error:Incorrect syntax near '>'.
Hi
I have a table which stores a big chunk of html text, which I have to search for and replace some strings.
How can I write a query that makes use of regular expressions to do the following:
Below is a block of example text
======================================================================
" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10> <img height=10 alt="" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10><img height=11 alt=""

======================================================================
Now I want to search and replace the string that is highlighted in red with something like "FOUND"
The below string is what I want to search for - I will used PATINDEX on the string below to find the start index of the string in the body, and then I will add on 114 to the when doing a replace:
'%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%'
For example
REPLACE
(
TheField,
SUBSTRING
(
TheField,
PATINDEX(''%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%', TheField),
,114
)
,
'FOUND'
)
QUESTION:
what would the regular expression be and how does one type it in the query?
I tried something like the below but it does not work, please advise .....
[a-z][0-9]{32} %/% [a-z][0-9]{32}

I am creating a view to pull data for a UPS integration I am doing. I currently have this view where I pull my data from. All is well accept for my PATINDEX,
Currently I have this PATINDEX So when a user puts this into delivery instructions "#999999" UPS_FINAL returns 999999 which is good for me to use. But The PATINDEX will also grab all kinds of neat stuff out of the delivery instructions field when I really only want whatever is after the # sign in the field.
I am new to sql and dont quite understand how this search is working but I think I am in need of a better way to search the field
Code:

Hello,
I understand that it is not possible to use PATINDEX in a Derived Column transform. I'm trying to eliminate leading zeros from a column where the string is always 14 characters long, but the first non zero character could occur any number of characters from the left of the string. The following achieves what I need:
substring([Account No w/0s], patindex('%[^0]%', [Account No w/0s]), 14) AS ExtractedAcctNo
Does anyone happen to know how I might express this differently in a Derived Column transform? Should I consider a calling a function through an OLE DB Command transform on each row instead? Maybe I should have a SQL Task that runs an UPDATE statement against the column.
Thank you for your help!

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
Hi all,
I have just started using SQL7 and quite dumb at it.
Here is my problem
i have tables ip_address and ip_subnets. both contains more than 20,000 records. Though ideally each subnet should correspond to only one ip address it is not so due to SMS inventory and remote clients configurations etc.
As an example If my ip address is 141.151.128.78 I need to select only 141.151.128.64 ( or atleast 141.151.128.*)as the valid subnet. In other words I need to compare upto 3rd octet and only if it matches with ip address then declare that as the valid subnet.
Pls note that ip addresses vary for each machine though there will 4 octets, I can't use character positions as the nos in each octet might vary from 1-255.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
