Hello,
I forget. How can PATINDEX be used to find column values where the data is all numeric? I've tried, the following:
select distinct acct from tbl_CYProcessedSales
where PatIndex('%[0-9]%',Acct) > 0
order by acct
Acct is varchar(8). What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!

I would like solving the following issue using the Patindex function i cannot retrieve or extract the single numeric value as an example in the the values below i would like retrieve the Value 2, but in my result set the value 22 also appears or it is completely omitted.
"2 8 7"
"2 8"
"2"
"22"
"3 2 8"
I have tried the following
Patindex('%[2]% [^0-9] [^1] [^3] [^4] [^5] [^6] [^7] [^8] [^9]' ,Replace(Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes, '"',''),'^',' ')) as Col3,
Patindex('[2]' ,Replace(Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes, '"',''),'^',' ')) as Col4,
Patindex('%[2][^0-9]%',Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes,'^',' ')),
I am creating a view to pull data for a UPS integration I am doing. I currently have this view where I pull my data from. All is well accept for my PATINDEX,
Currently I have this PATINDEX So when a user puts this into delivery instructions "#999999" UPS_FINAL returns 999999 which is good for me to use. But The PATINDEX will also grab all kinds of neat stuff out of the delivery instructions field when I really only want whatever is after the # sign in the field.
I am new to sql and dont quite understand how this search is working but I think I am in need of a better way to search the field
Code:
WHEN SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions, PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) IS NULL
THEN dbo.Address_Table.ups_code
ELSE SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions,
PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) END AS UPS_FINAL

What I am looking to accomplish is a SUBSTRING that will search delivery_instructions

Thanks in advance for taking your time to read this post.
I am trying to write a SQL query using MS SQL 2005 that will read the value of a field and tell if it is alpha or numeric. I have tried the following but it does not work:
select field1 from table1 where left(field1,2)='[0-9]'
select field1 from table1 where isnumber(left(field1,2) tried with a =1 at the end and without and =1 at the end
the goal is to read through a field and format it so if a field looks like this 12xxx111xx I can change it to look like 12-xxx-111-xx.
Any help is greatly apprecaited

Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value
The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete.
My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error:
Character to numeric conversion error
This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then
CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2'
ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
We have an address table with a house_num field which is a nvarchar.
Most of house numbers are numbers like 1234, 0989
But some of them have a letter behind it like 678 B, 8909 F, even some like this 123/B
We would like to remove any non-numeric letter for this column.
Is there a way to do it?
It appears that the VFPOLEDB driver tries to convert numeric types in VFP to decimal types in .NET. In this case, it's a Numeric 9,3 in VFP and it's trying to put it into a decimal 8,3 in .NET.
I know that VFP has this funny quirk where if you don't use all of the decimal places after the decimal point, it allows you to use extras in front of the decimal point. In our case, the number is 104895.83 and yes, VFP is happy storing this in a Numeric 9,3 column.
When trying to read this in .NET, you get this message:
System.InvalidOperationException
The provider could not determine the decimal value. blah, blah, blah...
The question then is - is there a work-around? I can find no way to force .NET to use greater precision. About all I can come up with is to catch the exception and return a nice error message asking the user to make the column larger in VFP.
Here's the .NET code, thanks in advance

I have a report which is redirecting to a subreport. The main report is having multi value parameter. I need to pass these multi values to sub report. Passing parameters from MDX report to T-sql report. So, I'm using the below exp.
=SPLIT(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),", ",","),",")
The value will look like this
01-Manger
02-Senior Mange
21-Associate
25-Associate Trainee
This is working for me in all the cases except one. In all other cases, the parameter's Label and Value field has same data in the sub report. But, in a specific parameter I'm getting Label and Value data are different. I'm getting an alpha numeric string value from MDX report , but I need to pass only the numeric values to the sub report since its value field contains only numeric value. The numeric value is coming at the starting of the string data. So I have used Mid()
=SPLIT(Mid(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),",
",","),1,2),",")
Result will be 01
But, mid() will give only the first value. It is working for single value. But I need to extract multiple values.
Hi All,
I have developed few charts - line graphs - and have checked the Numeric or time-scale values on the X-Axis. Now, when the graphs come out, they appear to have two datasets. For example, if the X axis has values from 1st march to 14th March, then there will be a line from 1st March to 14th March, but additionally there will be another one, pointing to different datapoint, and again starts from 1st March and ends at 14th March. Whereas I think it is because of the Numeric or time-scale values selection, but I am not sure. Also, is there a particular way to interpret such graphs??
Thanks a lot, I would have loved to give a picture, but I think I cannot give it.. I did not find an option..
Let me know if the question is not clear enough..
Manoj Deshpande.
I have a line chart which works great except when the x axis displays duplicate months. I have tried format codes of MM-YYYY and MMM and have the "numeric or time-scale values" checkbox checked. The data displays fine but the X axis in the case of the MMM format code displays as:
Sep Oct Oct Nov Nov
leaving the user to wonder where exactly does October and November start...
I've googled around but don't see off-hand what I am doing wrong. I am display 3 simultaneous lines if that matters...
Thanks!

I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?

I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??

Hi I want to find 3 different columns maximum values in one shot. Like I tried to use a reader to go through results but it kept coming back with index out of bounds. Right now to get it to work I got to use a ExecuteScalar() get the first columns max value and then open the connection again(since it seems after ExecuteScalar() it closes the connection) and then do the ExecuteScalar() again. Open the connection again and do the ExecuteScalar() again. Theres got to be a better way of doing this.
