Textbox - Number Format Leads To Mysterious Leading Bracket
Nov 8, 2007
A report is picking up some values from the body and displaying them in text boxes within the Page Header, via the ReportItems collection. The text boxes within the body have their format specified as #,###; (#,###) - so displaying negative values within brackets. If the following value is set for the Page Header text box:
="My Value" & " " & ReportItems!variance.Value
the value displayed is, for example:
(My Value (1,123
Hence the requested trailing bracket has been swapped to become a leading bracket. Whatever I've tried I cannot get the bracket in the correct place. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug?

I am trying to output a number in a specific format. I am playing with CAST() and CONVERT() but have not been able to get what I need.
Current: 0.019891
Desired: 000199
It doesn't have to remain in a number format, as i will be output to a CSV in order to bulk load into another system.

Is there an elegant way to fill the empty space leading a textbox in a table with periods, similar to a table of contents effect?
When I do not allow the textbox to grow and just append a long string of periods it looks fine in my report preview, but after I deploy everything appended after the primary field in that text box is missing?
My report has a lot of data to the right but it is collapsible so the fields to the left are a good distance away. This is why I am trying to include light visual aids that assist lining up data values. I am not stuck on the leading period idea but it seems the least cluttered.

I have a field type of char(7) which holds an invoice number.
It has leading zeros that i want to remove.
0000001 I would like to make it 1.
How can I remove the leading zeros. If I need to replace them with spaces that is fine too.

In a t-sql 2012 select statement, I have a query that looks like the following:
SELECTÂ CAST(ROUND(SUM([ABSCNT]), 1) AS NUMERIC(24,1)) from table1.
The field called [ABSCNT] is declared as a double. I would like to know how to return a number like 009.99 from the query. I would basically like to have the following:
1. 2 leading zeroes (basically I want 3 numbers displayed before the decimal point)
2. the number before the decimal point to always display even if the value is 0, and
3. 2 digits after the decimal point.
Thus can you show me the sql that I can use to meet my goal?

I need leading zero's with EmployeeNum column(source employeenum is datatype : float).
REPLICATE('0',8-LEN(RTRIM(a.[RecordID and EmpNum]))) + RTRIM(a.[RecordID and EmpNum]) AS [Employee Num]
I have done above query it's populated correctly in database table.
Ex:00010198
When ever we are excuting the package is not receiving the leading zero's to CSV file. Source it self truncating this leading zero's.
Source:OLEDB ,Destination : Flatfile(CSV)

I'm calculating the format string for currency values based upon what's selected as a report currency parameter value. Just to mention, it's a call to a .net dll. Because this call is in every textbox in the details section of the report,I believe it's getting called for every textbox that is displayed on the report - but I really don't need to calculate it at this level. The format string will only be one way per report execution.
Is it possible to only call this function once, stuff the format expression in a textbox (or some method that's similar) and then reference that ReportItems!textbox3.Value for the format string of other textboxes? I threw the calculation in a textbox in the report header and also body, but I get an issue either way:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I understand that it doesn't seem possible, but can anyone help me think out of the box? I see that a database call and another dataset holding the FormatString might work... I'll try this out, but in the meantime, is there a solution to not do this?

I'm building an app to manage the upcoming NCAA March Madness tournament. I'm going to use a third-party control from www.tourneylogic.com to manage the actual brackets, but I've got a problem in determining the winner for a public pool I'm running.
Basically, I want to select the winner of the pool based on points awarded for correctly picking the winners of the games in each successive round of play. For example: if you correctly pick the first round winners, you get 1 point per game, the second round gets 2 points, the Sweet 16 gets 4 points, the Elite 8 gets 8 points, and the Final Four gets 16 points per game. (Correctly picking the National Championship game winner gets 160+1 points, so that someone picking the every game BUT the final won't possibly have more points than the final game).
I'd like to do this all at the database level, within a single stored procedure. I'll write a simple administrative SPROC to aggregate all users' point totals at the end of the tournament, and then display the final tallies. So my problem is designing a SPROC that will run through each user's posted picks, check if they picked a winner, and if so, assign a certain number of points - and then sum this whole range of values to assrive at a final tally of points.
If anyone has done this before, using a tiered scoring system, I'd appreciate the input.

Hi all,
We are developing some reports in Reporting Services 2005 (deployed in Sharepoint). We are having a bit of a problem with the drill down functionality:
When drilling, the report page "jumps", repositioning itself so that the item I drilled is at the top of the page. Not what I wanted, I want it to expand the item without repositioning it.
So, any ideas on what my problem is? I am in kind of a hurry to fix this problem (as always ...).
Regards,
Daniel

I need to change a number that looks like 1365 and make it look like 1,365 without any decimal or trailing zeros. Then number can even be a 7 digit number. It seems like the only way I know is the money to varchar conversion using style 1, but this adds trailing zeros and a decimal point. Can anyone help on this
Thanks,
Hemal

I am doing some simple arithmatic for a query that I am working on. What I have below describes the arithmatic that is taking place withing a portion of the query:
select(o.sales_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Price', (o.acctng_cost_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Cost'
from opcsahf as o
go
The division is correct. My only issue is that the results for 'Unit Price' or 'Unit Cost' may be formatted like example: 4.25000000.
How can I have my nubers show up with only to 2 decimal places instead of all the zeros at teh end?

When setting the format property for a textbox containing a number the first parameter relates to a positive number, the second negative and the third to zero.
eg #,###; (#,###); 0
Is there a way of also formatting Null values in the same way without writing custom code?

In the report Layout, if I right-click a cell that is located in the table details row, click Properties, and select the Format tab, there is an option for the Format code. I click on the little dot-dot-dot icon (...) and it brings up the Choose Format option. The choices are Default, Number, Date, Time, Percentage, and Currency. The format that I am interested in is Number, so I click on Number. Now, it shows '1234' ; '1,234.00' ; '1234' ; '1234.00' ; and finally '1.234123e+003'. The choice that I am looking for (or desire) is something that would show 9,452 and that is it. No decimals, but want the comma. I do not see an option for this. The option '1,234.00' has decimals. The two options '1234' and '1234' appear to not have decimals, but they do not appear to have commas either. Further, what is the difference between the first '1234' and the second '1234'?
*** Also, I have a couple formulas that I have entered. I have tried to change the Number Format for these cells in the table details row and nothing changes. Still the same format.

Hi all. I have ran into a annoying situatin on sql cluster. Config is:
w2k3 EE x64 r2 - two nodes
sql 2005 x64 standart v2153
2instances, active-active cluster.
While changing tcp port configuration of one instance (using configuration manager) I have acidentaly created that setting:
- All IP dynamic port and All IP port was set to same number while separate IPs have enabled dynamic ports and does not have static port set.
This situation leads to unability of starting the instance anymore. There is no need wide explanation, its quite clear - while starting instace, it was configured with static port and with dynamic port with the same number, so port conflict error takes place. Problem was how to escape from this situation. On non clustered sql is quite easy, because these settings are stored in registry and also can be changed thorough Configuration manager, easy solution. Nor on the cluster.. Modifying the registry even on both nodes was unefective, every try to start instance fails with port conflict error and bad config was saved to registry again. I wasnt able to find where this config resides and change it to corect values. I have revealed only that it is not stored in instance master DB (restoring it from backup). Looks like its held somehow by cluster service itself, but I didnt find where it should be and how to edit it. So the last possible option take place (time was against me) - reinstalation of whole clustered instance. Nice example of how one click can create you a 2 days of work... Iam still interested if there is a smooth and easy way out of this situatin:-) So if anyone knows..... If there is not, I realy warn everybody.

HiI'm not sure if this is a .net or a SQL issue. My development machine is using SQL 2005 while the live server is SQL2000. I have a smallmoney field in the database for holding a house rent. The following is used to display the contents on the page<asp:Label ID="lblrent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("rent", "(0:0.00)") %>'></asp:Label>In development, the number is displayed correctly, with the decimal place, .e.g. 200.50 but on the live server the number is displayed as 20050,00. What I have noticed in the database is that the number is held differentlySQL 2005 - 200.5000SQL 2000 - 20050Is there a difference between SQL 2000 and 2005? How do I get around this problem?

Hi,
It looks like by default the subtotal number inherits the number format from the main column. Is there a way to override it?
In my case I am displaying percents with a decimal point in a column and sometimes the total comes out to 99.9% instead of 100%. I just want to round of the total to alway show 100%.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Igor
