I have a problem while importing data from Excel to SQL Server.The leading zeros in data get truncated.Even if I try and change the excel data column as 'Text' and copy paste the data back into the Text column, the problem persists.Does any one have any thoughts about this problem?

Hi Folks,
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.
Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length
is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

How am i able to trim leading zeros? Right now i have two values:00000005 500000010 1000000015 15..... etc...
how do i write a query where i can select an argument where 5 = 0000005?
the column with 00000005 is varchar and5 is numeric
I need to cast an integer to a string to append to another string for a barcode.
How can I get 1 -> '0001' OR 100 -> '0100'
Any suggestions?

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23
37
05
04
41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following:
1
23
37
5
4
41
How can I have it retain leading zeros?
My records are like this.
Col1
-----
00001
03456
00577
05011
00099
01090
I want to remove the zeros on the left and the answer should be like this.

How to trim the leading zeros.
Thanks.
I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2
1234 1
12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001
012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.
What is the best way to change an output of P0123 to 123? i.e. drop the letter 'P' and also any leading zeros. We have a report that outputs terminal ID's which range from P0001 through to P0536.
I can drop the 'P' easily enough, but how I can drop the P000 from terminal ID P0001 for example.
I'm using varchar as a datatype and my leading zeros are chopped-off once ther data reaches my Stored Proc. The table will allow me to store the values with leading zeros if I enter them manually, but I cannot insert them via ASP/StoredProc.
Any ideas would be awesome.
Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

I am reposting this from the VB IDE forum, becaue I received no response
Using VS05 SP1 Pro/SQL Express...
There are two tables, UserIDs and Recordings (which has a foreign key relating it back to UserIDs).
I created a Stored Procedure via Server Explorer that returns the user ID for a given Foreign Key in Recordings table. If the UserID is "0001", then "0001" is return (userIDs are stored as strings). The stored procedure works every time.
I then created a table adpater that uses the above stored procedure. The table adapter is used in code. It has always worked fine, but i have discovered if the user ID starts with 0, those zeros are trimmed by the table adapter .
For example:
UserID = Me.TableAdapter_Recordings.FillBy_StoredProceedure_Return_UserID(ForeignKey_Recordings_Table).ToString
should result in a userID of "0001", but instead results in "1", which, from a string view point, is incorrect. As strings, "0001" and "1" are totally different, and the "1" fails when you do a fill for the table UserIDs.
So, the Stored Procedure and the Table Adapter using the same Stored Procedure return different results, with the Table Adapter being wrong. Why is it trimming the zeros? Is there anyway to stop that so the results are correct?
Thanks!

Looking at an execution plan the conversion of NVARCHAR(15) to BIGINT is a big yellow exclamation NO NO. However, the numbers in the NVARCHAR(15) have leading zeros.
Technically speak 0123456789 is not an INTEGER or BIGINT, the performance of my Stored Procs is there any way to allow leading zeros in a BIGINT Field?

My source data in OLEDB Source and Destination is CSV.
Below is the sample data
claim claim_number

But while loading OLEDB source data into CSV in Claim_Number column not considering the leading zeros and getting output as below.

I am trying to export the result of a select into a .csv file using SQL Server 2000 DTS. The data for varchar fields has leading zeroes in the database, which is very much required in the csv file.
But, the .csv file trims the leading zeroes. How do we force to maintain the same data as in source?
I had used Text File Destination Connection as the destination, with the below options
File Extension: .csv
File Format: Delimited
File Type: ANSI
Text Qualifier: Double Quotes ("")
Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF}
Column Delimiter: comma
Source Data: 0123
Target Data (Requirement): 0123
The data in .csv: 123 (This is the issue)
When I open this file in a Text Editor, I do see the data in double quotes..."0123".
Thanks in advance.
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.
I am migrating mainframe data to SQL Server 2005 and have found that from a mainframe character field with leading zeros for example the value of 00023 to a SQL Server column defined as varchar (5) the resulting column value is 23 not 00023. I need the leading zeros because these are account ids, etc. So the value is 00023 not 23. Is this some setting in SQL Server 2005 that needs to be changed or what? This is not a numeric field on the mainframe or a numeric column for SQL Server.

I have a query in a SSRSreport that returns a value that looks like '012345'. The value looks fine on the report preview screen.
When the report is exported to excel, that value is displayed in a cell as '012345'. When I click out of the field, excel is dropping the leading zero and converting the value in the field to 12345.
Why is this happening and i have converted the value as string as well using expression.

Hi,
I have a data file that has numeric data that looks like:
1.123456
And this column is defined as a DT_NUMERIC(18.6) in the flat file conn mgr.
As an experiment, I changed the destination column to a NUMERIC(18,0) - hoping that this would throw a truncation error at the flat file task level (where I have Truncation on all columns set to "fail component").
Not a peep. It loaded the data into the table, chopping off the 6 digits after the decimal point.
You would THINK that this would cause an error, but no. Why is this? The flat file task complains about all kinds of things, but this is such a gross error, you would think it would catch it!
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a problem.
The SQL statement I have is like this
select * from table where (convert varchar(25),AMT) LIKE '%0%'
This causes all my data to appear instead of 1 only if I key 77 into the textbox because AMT is a currency type with 77.000.
So is there another way of solving this other than truncating off the zeroes?
If so feel free to assist me, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
