I seem to always get the "Fun Stuff" to try and figure out. I have an entire table that was pumped out of Oracle. I even hate saying that word!
There are a couple columns that are Float data type, and they are storing phone numbers as a Float data type. I am not able to CAST these into anything that is legible.
This is one of the values that I made up that look like some of the others.

I have the following CASE statement:
SELECT CASE WHEN [TBL_whole_rock_geochem].au = 0 THEN '<' + [TBL_ActLab_codes].[Au] ELSE [TBL_whole_rock_geochem].[Au] END AS [Au det]
It errors on the highlighted code.
Error converting data type nvarchar to float
the code should return :
<0.5
<1
I have tried '<' + ISNUMERIC([TBL_ActLab_codes].[Au]) but received this error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<' to data type int.
How I can concatenate the < with a float value?
I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END
WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)
SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END
RETURNSIGN(@BigValue) * @Mantissa * POWER(CAST(2 AS FLOAT), @Exponent - 1023)
END
Thanks again Jeff!

Hi Everyone,
I have a phone number coming from the database coming in the format of 2132563111. How can I do this in sql query213-563-3111
Please let me know if there is any function that does it.

Hi all,
i have a table in SQL with +- 5000 phone numbers in various styles
e.g.
0515 - 578989
033 2981861
+31 (0)30 602 44 44
03.28.68.63.18
03/658.85.80
I want this to convert to international format like this
003237778899
0031306024444
Do i have to write 10 replace after each other or is there an easier way to format the phone numbers?
Thx in advance!!
How would I go about setting up a "mask" to automatically place the hyphen in phone numbers in SQL Server? I.e., the user types in an area code and then a hyphen automatically inserts and the cursor is on the next blank space.
Thanks for the assist.

I have a table filled with phone numbers entered in every different way possible
(5551212, 1115551212, 111-555-1212, 111 555 1212, 111-555-1212 ex 1234, 5551212 x1234)
And I would like to pull them from the table using sql 2008 and have the formatting look like this:
(111)555-1212 x1234.
How can I make this happen? Where numbers are missing, I would prefer to leave the area blank, ie 5551212 becomes 555-1212, and 1115551212 becomes (111)555-1212, extension numbers only where they are currently included.
Hi,
I have a string text box '1234567890' and I'm trying to format it as phone number 123-456-7890 in reporting services. But I couldn't figure it out.
Can someone help me?
If I have a string of 10 numbers (with no other characters), what is the best way to format them into a standard phone format: xxx-xxx-xxxx?
I tried numerous variations in the format code and edit expression areas, but no luck.

I have a phone number field.

Do anyone know of any functions, I can use to accomplish this??
Thanks in advance!

I have a column of phone numbers that have formatting such as (xxx)xxx-xxxx,
or xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx-xxxx; however, not all phone numbers are formatted in this fashion. I need to remove all characters and only leave behind numeric digits to look like xxxxxxxxxx. I have tried select replace(colname,'-','') from table. This does the trick but does not actually change the values in the column. Any help in accomplishing this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

SQL query: I am importing data from one source to another. The phone number has 3 variations and I want to standardize the information. I need to remove the "+1" or "1" from the leading characters of the phone number.
example:
13035554444
+13035554444
I am trying to get my SQL create table to work for my phone number formatting and it is not. When I create the below code, the default is set to 3 numbers only.
CREATE SET TABLE dl_qpt_cqe.contacts, NO FALLBACK ,NO BEFORE JOURNAL,NO AFTER JOURNAL
(contact_id integer not null ,contact varchar(50) , jobtitle varchar(50), dept varchar(50), phone integer format '999-999-9999', phone_ext varchar(10), email varchar(50), constraint pk primary key (contact_id));
Is there some other way I need to format the phone portion so the default is 999-999-9999?
For anyone who can help me resolve this minor data issue. I am trying to clean a phone number column so that all numbers are reflected in the same way. I have phone numbers in my column in this this format:
(123)123-1234
123-123-1234
(123) 123-1234
How can I clean this column so that the numbers are reflected in this way: 1231231234
I'm having brain freez right now. Help me please!!! Thanks in Advance
I am designing wepage using Asp.net with Sql server as database. I have used Multiline textbox in which user has to enter their family detail. Like number of brother and sister family status, source of Earning for family.
But User do not have to enter his/her phone/contact number. For that I restricted the user to enter any nuberic digit through asp.net Regex. But User is too smart now they are entering his/her contact number in words.
Suppose somebody's Contact number is 533445928 as they can not enter numberic digit because of asp.net regex which allows the user to enter only alphabets. Now they are entering their contact number in words like five three three four four nine two eight seven. I would like to restrict the user to enter contact detail in words also.
I am learning the string functions and the database that I'm using is AdventureWorks2012.However ,while practicing I was just trying to hide the phone number with '*' mark,but not getting the desired result.So the code is.............
SELECT
PhoneNumber, (SUBSTRING(PhoneNumber,1,2)+REPLICATE('*',8)+
SUBSTRING(PhoneNumber,CHARINDEX('[0-9][0-9]{1,2}',PhoneNumber),LEN('-555-01')))AS[PhoneNumber]
FROM
Person.PersonPhone
[code]....
I would like to format the US phone number format in say 123-456-7895 either at SSRS level or SQL level. Currently the client is not having proper standard way to enter phone numbers and this is cauisng wrong display in the report.
Is there any function that I could use in SQL for formatting phone numbers that will be of the type (516) 491-6675,5164916675 into correct US format phone numbers.
I have a patient record and emergency contact information. I need to find duplicate phone numbers in emergency contact table based on relationship type (RelationType0 between emergency contact and patient. For example, if patient was a child and has mother listed twice with same number, I need to filter these records. The case would be true if there was a father listed, in any cases there should be one father or one mother listed for patient regardless. The link between patient and emergency contact is person_gu. If two siblings linked to same person_gu, there should be still one emergency contact listed.
Below is the schema structure:
Person_Info: PersonID, Person Info contains everyone (patient, vistor, Emergecy contact) First and last names
Patient_Info: PatientID, table contains patient ID and other information
Patient_PersonRelation: Person_ID, patientID, RelationType
Address: Contains address of all person and patient (key PersonID)
Phone: Contains phone # of everyone (key is personID)
The goal to find matching phone for same person based on relationship type (If siblings, then only list one record for parent because the matching phones are not duplicates).
Hi,
why does converting integer to float take so long? Its a column with about 5 Million rows.
I want to avoid cast(inumber1 as float) / cast(inmuber2 as float), thats why converting them. Queries should be a bit faster after that.. hope so :)
Thanks a lot
Below is my sample data. I can't figure out how to select Unique phonenumber contacts for the same Ranked values from the set.
Basically the table is a mix of contactIDs. Some of them have duplicate phone numbers and through a separate mechanism we have ranked them.
It's easier then to pull out max(ranked) CLI_Numbers and their counterpart contactID(s). But I am also getting 2 or more records where the rank happens to be the same. I don't want that. Any one of the contactID will do for me.
The table has also same cliNumbers with different rank values, which are then correctly being picked up in the query below.
Note: ContactId is a unique value for each person in the table.
RecordID is simply RowID.
( I have attempted to populate a sample data suited for this forum - not sure how it comes out on the browser)
if object_id('tempdb..#MyData') is not null
drop table #MyData
create table #MyData
(
RecordID int,
contactID int,
forename varchar(25),
surname varchar(25),
[Code] ....
This is my query attempt
With RankedmobileDuplicateSet
as(
select cliNumber, max(ranked_value) as ranked_max_value
from #temp_UK_mobiledata
group by cliNumber)
[Code] .....

Hi -
My field TDMergerVotePercent is defined as a float field. I want it to return 'NA' when the value is -1 but I'm getting the error message
'Error converting data type varchar to float' in my aspx page. Is there where the CAST function can be used? Thanks
