I am used to working in MS Access where you can return a value as in:
[date1]-[date2]=X
It will calculate that value provided "date1" and "date2" are fields in the recordset. One calc for each record.
I am getting an error message in SQL Server saying that neither "date1" nor "date2" are not contained in an aggregate function and there is no "group by" clause.
In Access this would not be a problem.
Can you help?
Thank you.
For some reasons I have to use a ntext field for both small strings like "10" and large binalry files.
I need to sort the field to some extend to present the small strings on a sorted nice way - answers to " What country are you from" etc.
To trick the sorting I use a calculated field:
ORDER BY RSort - where Rsort is:
convert(varchar(4), RD.response) as RSort
It works but put a high load on the SQL server when the number of responses increases.
I though of making a non clustered index based on the calculated field, but is not sure that it will work as intended.
What do I do. The last thing would be to change the ntext to vchar(3800) or something like that. :confused:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a newbie to SQL Server using SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to use a calculated field in a table, what I want is for the result to be shown as an integer (int)?
However the fields that I base the calculation on are of the type (money), and the calculted field although giving me the correct result makes the field of type (money).
The fields that I am basing the calculation on are:-
ColumnName Type Size Allow Nulls
PurchasePrice money 8 0
LoanSize money 8 0
this is the code for the calculated field
([loansize] / [PurchasePrice] * 100)
and this is the description of the calculated field that is forced in the designer
ColumnName Type Size Allow Nulls
LTV money 8 1
and the designer does not allow me to change the type.
I would be grateful of any pointers
Regards
Tony
How is the below formula written in a calculated field in SQL?
If TransactionType = 3 then
10% * ValueTransaction else
1.5% * ValueTransaction
end if
I have the following fields in table A:
GL_ID|GL_Name_VC| Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI
===================================================
1000|liability | -10,000.00 | 08 | 2005
===================================================
1001| asset | 20,000.00 | 08 | 2005
===================================================
1000|liability | -9,000.00 | 09 | 2005
the fields above have the following datatype:
Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger
The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:
Description Amount
asset 20,000.00
liability (10,000.00)
===========
Net Asset 10,000.00
===========
The above report would list 2 columns as Description & Amount, next it would sort the Description
column by GL_ID, next by Year 2005 & lastly by Period 08, with a net figure of asset minus liability.
Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?

View 6 Replies View RelatedRight now I have one view that grabs records and sums up related records etc.... and returns a result. So basically it has the ID number and the number I calculated. THen I have another view that takes that number and performs calculations on it into three different columns. Is there any way to make these two view into one without a lot of repetative statements? Here is an example:
SELECT (tblTest.Quantity * tblTest.Price) as SubTotal, SubTotal * 1.06 as Total
Obviously that doesn't work, but what could I do to get that basic thing to work?
Thanks!
I have a Vehicle/Driver Inspection Database and I'm trying to create a Traffic Violation Point System, its a system when drivers commit certain traffic offences they will incur driving-offence points.
System: The points for violations that all occurred within the last 12 months of ONE ANOTHER are added together to calculate point total. If the accumulated points is reached 14 points driver is suspended the points will be REMOVED or minus 14 points after the suspension has been served.
Example:
Date of Offence - Number of Points
Aug. 6, 2013 - 6
Feb. 4, 2014 - 4
Apr. 25, 2014 - 4
- 2
May 8, 2014 - 2
Explanation:
On April 25, 2014 two offences incurred and from (Aug 6, 2013 - Apr. 25 2014) 14 points have accumulated (6 + 4 + 4) and suspension is carried out then 14 points is removed. The 2nd offence on Apr. 25, 2014 will be carried forward and added to May 8, 2014 points (total 4 points).
Below are DB Tables:
tbl_Driver
DriverID DriverLicense FirstName LastName
tbl_Event
EventID EventTIme DriverID CarID
tbl_EventViolation
EventViolatinID EventID ViolationID Status (1 = no, 2 = yes radio buttons)
tbl_Violation
ViolationID ViolationName Points
tbl_ViolationClass
ViolationClassID ClassName
I made an SQL Code but to sum the accumulated points only but not the whole condition. See below:
SELECTa.DriverId,
a.DriverLicense,
a.FirstName + ' ' + a.LastName as DriverName,
a.FirstName,
a.LastName,
a.DriverMobileNo1,

Hiin T-SQL,(how) is it possible to concatenate 3 (varchar) fields into one; eitherin a SQL query or through a calculated field (or using a view, ifanybody can explain to me how to use views), according to the followingrules:{first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal1)if resulting string<30 chars append", " & first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal2)if resulting string<30 chars append", " & first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal3)}=> define as new field StockItemDescriptionideally I would like SQL Server to do this processing rather thanbuilding all these answer strings on the client side.tiaAxel

I have a quick question that i have just a simple calc field.
Field.Value-Field.value then i want to sort by the calculated results. The expression is fine i know it is written wrong here but i cannot figure how to sort by the result of the expression. Thanks.
Hi I am having a problem with something that was relatively simple in Crystal and i am guessing it is purely my inexperience that is the issue here!
Calculated Field
=iif(Fields!Fun_Debt_Status.Value <> "debt","",
iif(max(Fields!Fun_Days_Overdue.Value)>30,"On Stop",
iif(max(Fields!Fun_Days_Overdue.Value)>0,"Overdue",
iif(sum(Fields!Fun_OS_Amount.Value)> Fields!CREDIT_LIMIT.Value,"Over Credit Limit","ok"))))
Want i am trying to do as you can probably see is create a "Account Status" field depending upon overdue days for payment etc..
My report just produces an error (internal) when i try and run - the calculated field above isn't even on the report.
Please let me know what i am doing wrong! I maybe going at it in completely the wrong way altogether,
Thanks in Advance!

I would have a question, if it is possible to reference a calculated field in T-SQL query. The following expression does not work in SQLExpress 2005
SELECT Qty, UnitPrice, Tax, Qty*UnitPrice as Expr1, Expr1*(1.0 + Tax) AS Expr2
This problem has occurred after upsizing to SQLExpress from Access XP/Jet Engine. Since Access does not have any issue with the expression above, the SQLExpress does not even accept it.
The only way how to avoid the issue in the SQLExpress seems probably to be
- Duplicate some calculations (i.e. expand every expression with duplicating some mathematic operations with some performance loss)
- Utilize computed columns if possible (no idea on performance impact here)
Am I right or is there any other way how to reference a calculated field?
Any suggestion is greatly welcomed! Thanks in advance.
is it possible to have a field that is calculated using a User Defined Function, and index that field?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been running into more and more complexity with an application, becauseas time goes on - we need more and more high-level, rolled-up information.And so I've created views, and views that use other views.. and the queriesare getting slower and slower.This morning, I'm working on something like this:select<some columns>,"calculatedcolumn" = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit')fromsomeviewnow, I realized that I need to really return "calculatedcolumn" in a coupleother places in the select like this - well, this is what I WANT to do:select<some columns>,calculatedcolumn = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit'),otherfield = case SomeBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,otherfield1 = case SomeotherBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse sum(somefield)end,otherfield2 = case SomeBit2when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse avg(somefield)end,otherfield3 = case SomeBit3when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,fromsomeviewPoint is, I CAN'T do that, so I have to re-run that sub-select for EACH ofthese cases, and that is KILLING this stored procedure. It seems to me, thatif the database when and already got that field, for that row - I should beable to re-use, rather than going back out additional times.Is there a way to so this? Put simpler:selectx = (select top 1 user_id from users),bestUser=x,smartestUser=xfromUserscan I re-use "x" in that example. Thanks!

Our phone system keeps a list of events, such as login and logout, which I'm doing a self join on to get the start and end times so I can calculate the time between the start and end of each event during a time period.
Then I stuffed the self joins into a couple views for the events I'm interested in...
The problem is that this makes the "end time" a calculated field, so when I use it as part of the filter it takes forever. I need to account for events ending within the time period, and events starting within the time period... so I need to filter on both the start and end time in the initial select. Filtering the start time first in a subselect, then the end time in the main select is quick but can lose things that started before the start time.
So how can I speed up the filtering on that calculated column?
Or am I going to have to get really creative with unions?

OK I have a report that needs an interactive sort on a calculated field. I get the message: "Report items cannot be used in sort expressions"

Thanks for any advice!

I'm trying to create a calculated field that gives me the avg 75 percentile.
Right now I get this value by doing the following:
Create data set:
Select top 75 percent <field>
from <table>
Then I create the following calculated field
Avg(Fields!<field>.value,"<data_set_name>")
But I wanted to be able to create a calculated field that gives me the avg 75 percentile without creating a separate data set to get the top 75 percent Value.
Is it possible?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a report that calculates a field and therefore it does not exist in the dataset.
Can I perform an interactive sort on the textbox that contains this calculation?
Many thanks.
Hello,
How do I add unique values on the report? For example say I have this in my report:
Customer: Food Purchased: Amount:
Judy Cat Food $12
Sarah Dog Food $13.50
Diane Rabbit Food $17
Jason Dog Food $16
Tammy Dog Food $15
In the footer of the report I want to print a summary box that looks like this:
Product: Number Purchased: Total:
Cat Food 1 $12
Dog Food 3 $44.50
Rabbit Food 1 $17
How do I do this?
Thanks!

Can I make a calculated field by using two fields from different data sets?(I'm talking about SSRS data sets)
I tried to do that. But I got a error message.
"Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope."
Please can some one help me out?
I need to create a calculated field that will give me 'yes' or 'no' if a date field is within +/- 28 days of another date field.
So for example if a.date = 1/1/15 and b.date is 30/3/15 the calculated field will say 'no'; if the b.date was 10/1/15 it would say yes.
Similarly, if the b.date was 1/11/14 it would say 'no'; if it was 10/12/14 it would say 'yes'.
