how to convert -2.0120 to -2 or 3,6789 as 3 ignoring the decimal places.
The input -2.0120 is a varchar.
I have one of the sample values in my table. I need to convert below value to Decimal(18,5)
DECLARE @i
VARCHAR
SET @i
= '0.9'
Output i m looking for is 0.90000
I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
So my data is delivered as numeric(9,2)...like 100.00. I have to extract that data and store it as a varchar 0 filled without the decimal place...like 0000010000///I tried the following and it did not work...
RIGHT('000000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,[EODPosting].[Amount]),10),
I have a varchar(512) data type on my INVOICE_DATE field and it is in the following format DD/MM/YYYY.
I need it to be in MM/DD/YYYY and have tried with no luck.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(512), INVOICE_DATE, 101) AS [MM/DD/YY]
FROM F0AInvoices_Tags
This does not swap the numbers as I would have hoped for reporting purposes.
I have written below query.
-- AssignedToTasks 32,'from (Select Distinct wft.*','
OVER(Order by task.TaskId desc)','','where IsActive=1 AND RecurrenceRule is null',0,5
Alter PROCEDURE [dbo].[AssignedToTasks]
@UserId varchar(15) Â ,
@selectClause Nvarchar(max),
[Code] ....
CASE WHEN NULLIF(NHSNo2, '') IS NULL THEN 1
WHEN NULLIF(Surname, '') IS NULL THEN 2
WHEN NULLIF(Forename, '') IS NULL THEN 3
WHEN NULLIF(DOB, '') IS NULL OR DOB < '01/01/1900' THEN 4
WHEN NULLIF(AddressLine1, '') IS NULL THEN 5
[code]...
The above code worth great but ideally instead of returning a number Id like to return text for example
1 = NHS
2= SUR
3=FOR
4=DOB
5=ADD
6=PCO
7=GPN
8=PCZ
9=GPD
10=CCG
Below is garbage data and structure (I think enough to get point across). Â How can I perform calculations needed?
Create Table #1234
(
abcd decimal(16,4)
,defg decimal(16,4)
,hijk decimal(16,4)
,logon datetime
,logoff datetime
[code]....
DECLARE @i BIGINT
SET @i = 20150315
DECLARE @S VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @S = ''
SELECT @S = @S + '
DECLARE @Count BIGINT
SET @Count = '+@i+' + 1
SELECT @Count'
EXEC(@S)
I am trying to execute the above query but it is throwing me an error.
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to bigint.
i am trying to run to get a list of computers from a table based on the available free space. I'd like to group them based on the available space, for example, up to 1 GB, 1-2 GB, etc.Â

(
SELECT distinct

I am using T-SQL I have a column (ColA)that has datetime format and I simply want to pull the next day but date only into ColB
ColA

I have been trying the command below but keep getting the error "Conversion failed when convertint the varchar value '03-03-2014' to data type int."
Convert (varchar(10), "StartDate", 110)+1 as Next Day
I am getting this error when I run the case statement below. I think I have to convert at some point, but not sure where or how.Â
Case when m.dispo = 2 then 'Inactive' else m.value end 'Score'
In my inner query,Â
I have a column "Cost" (data type=varchar)Â and another column "Qty" (data type=int)Â
Now in outer query, I need to multiply this 2 columns Cost*Qty.But after trying some cast operation still getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
I am trying to write a query that give me how many items were filed per year.
This is the error:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'YEAR(1999)' to data type int.
Here is the query I am using:
SELECT COUNT (*),
CASE
WHEN ChargesFiledDate > 20141231 THEN 'YEAR (2015)'
WHEN ChargesFiledDate > 20131231 THEN 'YEAR (2014)'
WHEN ChargesFiledDate > 20121231 THEN 'YEAR (2013)'
ELSE YEAR (0000)
[Code] ...
And got the same error. Â I know there is probably a better way to get this data (being that I need it from 2007 to present), but don't know how to write it.
Hello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,
Ziga
I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!
I'm having an issue using the data conversion task and trying to convert from a negative integer that is bounded by brackets e.g, (1) for -1. I keep getting an error that the value cannot be converted although I've tried all signed integer types.

Currently writing a script to duplicate information in a database for a client. They have setup a userdefined table in our software that contains information that needs to go into the duplicate records. One particular column in this user defined table contains a decimal number in the 45mill range. The column that number is going into is an nVarchar column that requires a Hex value for our software.
Long story short (too late) I have been unable to find a system stored procedure that will convert the Decimal value into a Hexadecimal string.
Questions:
Is there one I just haven't found?
Anyone know of one already written by someone in the Community?
Or stop wasting time looking because there isn't one so I better hurry up and get one written and tested before my project is due?
I need to convert a value 5.300000000 to 0005300. Basically I want to remove the decimal point, pad the out put with a couple of zeros and return a value that is 7 bytes long. I may need to convert something like 10.300000000 to be 0010300.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.
how do you convert a numeric to time format if it shows hours but a decimal figure for Minutes. For example if I have hours in decimal format like this
28.5000
but I want to show it in this format:
28:30:00
where 28 = hours, 30 = minutes, 00 = seconds
Thanks.
In Reporting Services, I have a decimal time field (18,2) in my report which I wish to display as HH:MM. Similarly, I req a sum of total hours and minutes as a summary. Whats the expression for doing this. I've googled far and wide and cannot find a definitve solution.
Thanks.

I have a problem with SQL rounding my decimals up when I pull them from a temp table that has the column set as VARCHAR. What is happening is I am pulling the info from a flat file but each column has "" around each field so I must make the temp table columns all VARCHAR so I may pull the info from the file properly. So after the info has been extracted, I run an update statement on the temp table to remove all quotes. Once this is done, the revised info is inserted into a staging table and any field that is a represented as a decimal is labled as such in the staging table.
What I am running into is when the info is inserted into the staging table, the decimals are rounded up to whole values. The column has been checked to verify that it is indeed a decimal. I even have a CAST statement in the insert hoping to combat the rounding issue, but it is not helping.
So what reason(s) would my decimals be rounding up?
Thanks alot
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.
eg of values.
10.00
20.00
0.00
15.00
or could be missing when I use cast(value as float) or cast(value as decimal(9,2)) or convert(float, value) I get an error
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 2
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
Hi All,
I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.
So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.
Please help.
Thanks,
Zee
Hi,
Can we insert varchar values to Decimal(9,2)/numeric(9,2) fields?
I've a temp table with varchar values. I checked using isnumeric and all the values are numeric. But when I do the insert, it fails.
I was able to insert the following values:
000290165
000501075
000290165
000326314
But NOT the following:
010773474
All the values are 9 digits only.......
How can I convert this kind of numbers?
I need to convert all the 9 digit numbers to XXXXXXX.xx format.
(7digits.2 digits)

Hi,
I'm trying to import a text-file into SQL2005 by using SSIS. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in the way I thought. Because I'm using the german version of SQL2005 I need to translate the items of my toolbox, so dont wonder if their names are not exactly the same as in the english versions.
Try number1:
a) My datasource is a flatfile, in the connection manager I changed the DataType for the input column to DT_DECIMAL. In my destination table the data type of ths column is decimal(20,4). Name of the column is "NXT_PUT_PX".
b) Running this package results in this error:
"Fehler bei der Datenkonvertierung. Die Datenkonvertierung für die NXT_PUT_PX-Spalte gab den Statuswert '2' und den Statustext 'Der Wert konnte aufgrund eines möglichen Datenverlustes nicht konvertiert werden.' zurück. Fehlercode: 0xC0209084. "
Translation of this is something like:
Error by converting data. Converting data for column NXT_PUT_PX returned state '2' and text 'Value couldn't be converted because of a potential loss of data'.
Try number2:
a) same as try number1
b) Adding a datatransformation-task (Datenkonvertierung), and set NXT_PUT_PX to be converted to DT_DECIMAL wirh SCALE 20.
c) Assigning this converted column to the destination column.
d) Running the package results in the same error as described above.
Try number3:
Same as try number 2 but the input column for my flatfile is now DT_WSTR with width 50.
Running this results in the same error message as above, but different errorcode. Errorcode is 0xC020907F.
Any hints how to do this conversion correct?
Best regards,

Hi. I I'm importing a text file with lot's of decimal values with this format xx.xx. The problem is that my locale is Portugal and the points are being striped off and are not being considered as decimal separators (for example I have values like 0.04 and in the sql server database i see 4). I have tried to change the locale but i receive a message saying that the locale is not installed in my system.
Any help on this ? tnks in advance
Hi ,
I have a column in my extract table as nchar(3) and in the destination (the same column with diff name ) it is decimal(3,0) .....i tried to use dataconversion transformation.....i even tried to use cast/convert fn's in the SQL Command (which i use in the "Source Transformation" to get the columns from the extract table).
I tried all the ways i can and still i get the same error..:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E07. An OLE
DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider

Can we actually do it...?? any help would be appreciated.
