When A Feild Is Null I Do Not Want To See The Empty Cell And Titel In A Report?
Mar 29, 2007
Let's say I have three fields in a table like this...
Name
Tell us about cats
Tell us about dogs
Now I have two records.
Name Billy Bob
Tell us about cats I do not have any Cats
Tell us about dogs "null"
Name Joe Slick
Tell us about cats "null"
Tell us about dogs they sure chase Cats a lot.
I want my report to generate like this:
Name Billy Bob
Tell us about cats I do not have any cats
Name Joe Slick
Tell us about dogs they sure chase cats allot.
How do I omit null fields in a report including the field description? I am pretty flexible and I am willing to explore using ASP.Net, asp, html, VS2005 ? Or please tell me a program to use. I have a lot of reports to create. The data base is MS SQL 2005. The reports need to be published to the web. Can anyone suggest the best method?

What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?

So I have a problem with combining cells: some of the cells are blank and some of the cells have NULL value.
The combined blank cells return perfect.
But the combined cells in which 1 or more contains NULL will return as NULL
0-4139-00-01OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 139 - A -
0-4139-00-02NVG EQUIPMENT 139 - A -
0-4139-00-03NVG EQUIPMENT 139 - A -

A part of the script which i use is:
STUFF((SELECT ', ' + i.ac_type + ' - '
+ i.range_or_single+ ' ' + ' - ' + i.serialno_to
FROM msc_item_effectivity i
inner JOINmsc_item h
ONb.taskcard_verno_i = h.taskcard_verno_i
WHERE h.itemno_i = i.itemno_i
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '')
i.ac_type = 139
i.range_or_single = A
i.serialno_to = blank or NULL
I want the result of the blank value to be the same as the NULL value.

Hello,
I have a query that returns the appropriate values I need, however there is one field I'd like to add and utilize but my problem is I only want to use it if it contains data.
If I filter it with IS NOT NULL it returns all the records, including the empty records. The field is simply empty, and doesn't come back as NULL. If I filter it with =' ' , it shows all the records with the empty records only.
I need to do the opposite, be able to filter it only if it's not empty.
Any help would be appreciated.

How can I make empty cells show NULL on my table? Some cells show NULL others won't. Does this mean that they have contents?
The reason being is that, when I use the code
Select *
From Employees
Where JobDescription1 Like '%montly%'
Those with empty jobdescription1 show with the legitimate results.
Any help please?
Thanks!

I've inherited a terribly designed database. When cells in the tables have nothing in them, rather than being NULL, they're just empty. So now I can't use COALESCE...
Is there a way for COALESCE to check if a cell is empty instead of NULL? And if not, is there a way to get around this?

Hi:
Trying to insert null value into sql table, but not working, if I use:
if (strMyText.Length == 0) command.Parameters.Add("@Text", DBNull.Value); // or using:("@Text", null), or using:("@Text", DBNull) else command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Text", strMyText);
When I go back to table, I see the value is: 'NULL', has single quotation mark, suppose to be: NULL
Where is the problem?
Thanks a lot.

Well met,
Let's say I have a web form that allows users to insert and update records in a SQL database. Is it better to set empty web controls (textbox, etc.) to DBNull or let it go as an empty string into the database?
Example code:
if (tboxNAME.Text == "")
{
sqlCommand1.Parameters["@NAME"].Value = DBNull.Value;
}
else
{
sqlCommand1.Parameters["@NAME"].Value = tboxNAME.Text;
}
Is the above overkill? It seems like it would be a good idea to set fields which the user empties back to Null rather than an empty string.
Thanks,
-Tony

Hi folks,
I've have about 100 tables, for some reasons, column values that are originally NULL was inserted as emtpy string. So, I am wondering if I can write JUST ONE SQL (hopefully don't have to specify the field names in the SQL as well) for each table so that all the empty strings will be converted back to NULL.
THANKS JOHN

I added a new field to an existing ETL process which uses SSIS to ingest a CSV file. The new field in the file, Call_Transaction_ID, will not always be populated for every record and so can be NULL or empty for certain records.
Here's the problem:After the file is extracted into a staging table, the Call_Transaction_ID field is showing blank or empty when it has no ID for that particular record. The problem is when I try to then ETL this data into a fact table - I'm trying to set the Call_Transaction_ID field to -1 if it is NULL or empty, however SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty even though there is no value in the field so -1 will NEVER return.
Using a WHERE DATALENGTH(Call_Transaction_ID) = 0 returns 0 records, again because SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty or NULL.
What do I do now to get around this? How do I fix it?

I am working on a cube and I want to hide the results of a calculation if it is zero.
It is an inventory problem based on a transaction pattern. (add plus one to the inventory, add minus one to the inventory).
The sum of those two is zero, but the cube get messed but by thousands of zero.
I found some solutions of displaying 0 for NULL but I want to dispaly NULL (or empty) for 0.

Hi,
Is it possible to use Cell reference in the calculations, in SQL reports.
Like Excel allows "=A1 * B1", where A1 and B1 are two cells with some numeric value. Is it possible to use Cell reference in SQL reports? Like "textbox1 * textbox 2"... or something like that, with textbox1 and textbox2 containing some numeric values.
Thanks

Hi ,
I have a problem using Report Viewer With SQL Reporting Services 2005.
I had a really weird issue with a ReportViewer. It would show the little green Loading progress bar image €¦ but it wouldn€™t show any data, just a white background where the output should be. I knew the data was there because exporting to Excel or PDF showed the data just fine.
The problem is report toolbar is display but NO DATA is displayed and the report comes out as EMPTY .
Thanks in advance..
Can you please help me out in resolving this problem.

Hello,I'm a beginner in SQL and I have been searching through the SQL Cookbook and Google but I can't seem to find an example of what I want to do. I want to create a report that will return names and emails using two of my tables. I want to use the email in my primary table in the select but if it is null or empty I want to replace it with an email from my secondary table. Below is what I would like to do but I got a syntax error with it in SQL Server 2000. SELECT MemberID As ID, MemberFirstName As FirstName, MemberLastName As LastName, (IF MemberEmail = '' THEN SELECT TOP 1 OtherEmail FROM OtherTable WHERE OtherID = MemberID) As EmailFROM PrimaryTableThanks for your time.Jason

I have always (or at least intended to) treat NULL and empty strings separately in my SQL querying history. Now I have run across something that mystifies me (but probably shouldn't) that I would like an explanation for.
Consider this bit o' code:
DECLARE @ORDER CHAR(10)
SET @ORDER=
(
SELECT NULL
)
IF @ORDER <> ''
PRINT 'Not an empty string'
IF @ORDER IS NULL
PRINT 'It is NULL'
Run this and you will get:
It is NULL
I was expecting:
Not an empty string
It is NULL
Why is NULL not passing the 'not an empty string' test? In other words, how does NULL = '' ? Is NULL cast to an empty string for this comparison?

HI,
I am using XmlDataDocuments returned by webservices and query in the reports to populate the reports.
The issue I have is if the dataset used to populate the XML document has any nulls or empty spaces in any field the whole column or row is missing in the data generated by my query in the Reports. Sometimes the whole data is not being returned to the reports.
Sample query I use
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://xxxx.webservices.org/SelectReportRegisters</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://xxxx.webservices.org/" Name="SelectReportRegisters">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="p_registerType">
<DefaultValue>All</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="p_registerName">
<DefaultValue>All</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="p_asOfDate">
<DefaultValue>7-1-2009</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
</Query>
I have tested the webservice with sample data and it works well, returns data.
I use the ISNULL() in my stored procedures to avoid nulls but with empty strings, replacing them with a default value in the managed code is expensive and slows down the reports.
Is there some feature I am missing because of which nulls and empty strings are causing this problem.
I am using Reporting services 2005.
Any pointers will be truly appreciated.

Hi all,I have this code that I use for my Search function:SELECT DISTINCT [MUSIC_TITLE], [MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER], [MUSIC_PERFORMER]FROM t_musicWHERE (@MUSIC_TITLE IS NULL OR [MUSIC_TITLE] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_TITLE + '%') AND (@MUSIC_ARTIST IS NULL OR ([MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_ARTIST + '%' OR [MUSIC_PERFORMER] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_ARTIST + '%')) But right now if I don't enter anything in one of the textbox (2 have two, either of them can be left empty), the above Sql statement doesn't return anything since ADO.NET can't tell an empty textbox and treat it at null... So anyone please help me how to detect an empty textbox and set that to null for the above SQL statement to work. (It work in SQL Manager Studio, when I set one of the parameter = null.) I'm very new to ASP.NET stuffs, so if someone can help me to convert that function to code-behind and help me to call it from the .aspx, that would be even better as I don't want to put the code in my .aspx page... But I'm not quite there yet. Thank you all,Kenny.

How can I pass into the database (@User_fax = null) if the fax form field is empty, from a command type Stored Procedure? For example:
Dim CmdUpdate As New SqlCommand("Form2_NewUser", strConnection)
CmdUpdate.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
CmdUpdate.Parameters.Add("@User_fax", SqlDbType.char, 9)
CmdUpdate.Parameters("@User_fax").Value = fax.Text()
...
strConnection.open()
CmdUpdate.ExecuteNonQuery
strConnection.close()
And, the stored procedure inside Sql server:
USE market1
GO
ALTER PROC Form2_NewUser
@User_id bigint, @User_fax char(9),...
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
UPDATE Users
SET User_fax = @User_fax, ...
WHERE User_id = @User_id
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
Thank you,

I am using the following query to calculate date differences:select ..........DATEDIFF(d, recruitment_advertising.advertising_date, career_details.RTS_Email AS Datetime) AS Ad_to_RTS_days FROM .....I have stored all my dates as NVARCHAR because of the issues with localization.If the value is an empty String my output is eg: -38700. which is way off and incorrect. Some of the values in my table are NULL and they produce the correct result.Is there a T-SQL statement to replace empy Strings with the NULL value in my tables.I'd like to use it as a trigger when inserting or updating to convert empty strings to NULLbefore the values are inserted.Thanks guys.

I'd like to have Oracle's empty string behavior in SQLServer 2k5. Oracle treats an empty string as NULL's.
In PL/SQL can do:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.FIELD IS NULL
... and it'd return rows containing NULL's as well as empty strings.
Can this be done? I couldn't find a setting for it.
Thanx
Peter
