Trimming The Numbers.

Jul 19, 2006

Hi



I have a question regarding the trimming of some numbers at the end of a column

I have a resource table containing the name column for Ex : Santhosh, Kumar Edukulla X21646. Is there any way we can find the way to remove the numbers at the end from this column and copy to a new column in SQL SERVER.



Thanks in Advance!

Formatting Numbers In A Mixed Column (numbers In Some Cells Strings In Other Cells) In Excel As Numbers

Feb 1, 2007

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.

I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.

The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.

Any suggestions?

Trimming Decimals

Aug 17, 2005

I have a field in my SQL table that is defined Decimal(10,8), which
provides me with the ability to have up to 8 digits after the decimal
place, however, if I store a value such as 3.14, it is stored as
3.14000000. This is fine in the database, but it is the same when it's
returned. I have tried using Convert.ToDecimal on my returned row but
it doesn't work. The value at runtime appears as 3.14D in the locals
window but displays with all the insignifcant digits.

Any ideas what's happening or if there is an easy way to trim the trailing zeros?

Trimming A DateTime

Mar 16, 2004

Hi,

Probably easy but I'd like the best way to do it:

I have a datetime column with A LOT of rows. I'd like a select statement to return each date with everything after the hour part set to zero.

For example, if my column has the following values:

2004-11-03 13:03:36.876
1999-02-17 01:56:12.126

Should return:

2004-11-03 13:00:00.000
1999-02-17 01:00:00.000

I know I can do this with a function and a couple of casts but there must be an easier (and faster) way!?!?

Thanks,

Skip.

Automatic Trimming Transformation

Mar 9, 2006

I would love to see an automatic trimming transformation. We currently have 14 different ERP systems throughout our company and almost everything we do, when it comes to strings, requires trimming. Although doing it through the derived column task is somewhat easier, it is very time consuming and error proned, if you overlook a column or two.

I Need To Update A Table With Random Numbers Or Sequential Numbers

Mar 11, 2008



I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.

Thanks for any help

Trimming Space In All Database Fields?

Nov 29, 2007

I have an SQL 2000 database with several tables that are populated using various forms.  One or more of the forms is causing the several fields to fill in with data input plus empty spaces to the right for the full character length assigned.  Is there a routine or database feature in Visual Studio that can trim off all trailing spaces in all fields in a database table?  Is there a compacting routine that might be called?
Thank you

SQL Trigger For Trimming String Fields

greetings!! the below trigger works fine in SQL 2000 and doesn't takeup much resources, it's a very simple solution to trim text fields atinput in SQL. I know a lot of folks will say to create input masks atthe UI level and that SQL is a restricted back-end DB, but to be quitehonest I don't trust those UI guys and as a DBA I will have to cleanthe mess when they forget to validate. Hope it can be usefull to anyof you too. ;)----------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TRIGGER [TRIMMER_TGR] ON [dbo].[MyTable]AFTER INSERT, UPDATEASIF UPDATE (MyStringField)DECLARE @TRIMMEDFIELD NVARCHAR(50)DECLARE @MYID INTSELECT @TRIMMEDFIELD = MyStringField from InsertedSELECT @MYID = ID from InsertedBEGINUPDATE tblDocket SET MyStringField = RTRIM(LTRIM(@TRIMMEDFIELD))WHERE ID = @MYIDEND

Dataflow To Excel - Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers Excel Cell Error

Mar 27, 2007

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.

Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:

Convert numbers stored as text to numbers

Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.

I'm hearing this a common problem -

On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:

<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>

is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.

Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.


So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

Row Numbers Etc.

Sep 24, 2007



I have a sales report that includes dollar amount, tonnage, and profit margin among other things. They are currently sorted by tonnage sold from highest to lowest. I'd like to be able to place a number in a column counting 1 up for tonnage ranking. I'd also like to get a number ranking for sales amount ranking along with profit margin ranking. The most tonnage sold might not have been the biggest sale nor had the highest profit margin.

Does this sound like something that can be done within SSRS?

I should ad I'm runing MDX queries against a cube so I can't use T-SQL for ranking.

Expression.Like For Numbers?

Aug 26, 2007

Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.
Cheers,

Calculating ID Numbers

Mar 28, 2008

 I needed to come up with an algorithm to create unique user- friendly account numbers such as AC0000000001, AC0000000002, etc...Where they increment by 1. I created a SQL function that retrieves the previous number generated, adds 1 to it, inserts the new value into  the table, then returns the new value. I started thinking, what if the function is ran at the same time? What if function # 1 creates the new number, and function #2 creates a new number as well before function #1 inserts it? Is this a possible scenario? If so, how do I lock the process until the function completes to prevent this?  Thanks for any help you provide.

Rounding Numbers

Jun 6, 2000

Looking for a way to round numbers to a specified number of significant digits. The ROUND function rounds to a specific decimal place but does not take into account the level of significance of the remaining numbers. (i.e.
ROUND(7.12435,2)=7.12000) The type of function I need would round the number in the following manner: SigFigRound(7.12435,3)=7.12 or
SigFigRound(7.12345,1)=7.

Any solutions?

Subselect With Numbers

Feb 18, 2002

I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE ITEMS ([ITEMID] int, [itRULE] varchar(1))
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (11, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (12, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (21, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (22, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (31, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (32, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (41, 0)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (42, 0)

-- Those works and gives me 11,12,21,22
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (2,3)
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN ('2','3')

-- This doesn't works
declare @Rule varchar(10)
set @Rule='2,3'
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (@Rule)
Any idea?
I don't mind to change the data type if it works.

Random Numbers.

Jun 22, 2001

I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.

This is the function: select rand()

Alberto.
