help... I have a field called PercentVar_P4 which really is budget - actuals... I need to create an expression that will that the
PercentVar_P4/budget.. when I do I get Infinity and nan... I want to see the negative number.. I have read through all the blogs and nothing seems to fit..
Please HELP!!
I have three fields in my detail row. The third of them divide the first two by passing them to a function:
=code.TestDivide(Fields!ThisYearPrice.Value, Fields!PriorYearPrice.Value)
Public Function TestDivide(Numerator as double, Divisor as double)
dim retVal
if Divisor = 0 then
retVal = 1
end if
if Numerator = 0 then
retVal = Numerator/Divisor
elseif Numerator< = 0 then
retVal= 0
else
retval =Numerator/Divisor
end if
return retVal
End Function
When Both Numerator and Divisor are 0, I get NaN
When the Divisor is 0, I get infinity.
I am trying this approach because I read about it in so many posts on this and other forums, but still having problems. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Hello,
I've made a MDX calculation in SSAS and it works fine, but when i look at my report (which is based on my cube), the same calculation gives "infinity".
Anybody who has some experience with this?
Thanks!
Working in a project using Entity Framework (Code First)...
Until now the project has been connected to a (generated) SQL Server Compact 4.0 database,
but now we want to connect to a SQL Server (at least 2008R2 since we will use FILESTREAM...)
Our problem right now is the possibility to enter Infinity values into REAL columns in the DB...
It works in the SQL Server Compact but we have not been able to get it to work in 2008R2 or 2014
The insertion of Infinity values is constructed by the Entity Framework (from using float.PositiveInfinity in C#) automatically so I mainly wonder if it at all is possible in a "real" database. Maybe there are some configurations possible to get it to work?
Hi all,
Is there a way to get SQL Server 2005 to store NaN and Positive and Negative infinity values for double precision floats? It used to work fine under SQL 2000 and works great under MS Access, but we are updating our scientific application, and really need to be able to store this information efficiently under SQL Server 2005. We really want to dump Access because of database storage limitations.
It really amazes me that there is not more support for this as the limitation really makes it hard to store a lot of our simulation data. I guess SQL Server is more geared for financial data then scientific data. I know that Oracle supports this but we rather stick with SQL Server if we can.
We really want to avoid having to have an extra column to store this, that would be disastrous. NaN could be stored as null values. And, no, we cannot map +/- Infinity to Min and Max double values. We definitely need the distinction there.
Another post I read talked about custom user types€¦ but I€™m not sure how well that will work with our analysts pulling the data into other tools, like Excel.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. It just boggles the mind that SQL Server does not seem to handle true IEEE 754 doubles. How is Microsoft going to deal with C# 3.0 and DLinq support? The issue must show up there.
Anyway,
Thanks much.
James.
The title, I think, accurately illustrates the situation in my report.
Naturally, this result is unwanted.
How do I get the avg-function to ignore empty cells in the column?

I have a field that divides one field by the sum of two others. However, when both of the two latter fields are 0's, I get a divide by zero error and the output halts. How do I get this so that for these records I put a NULL or UNDEFINED or something in there at least so I can see the rest of the output. Thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
In the BI developement, in a matrix i'm trying to avoid division by zero, but even if i test the field before the division, i've got the error everytime.
I put the folowing test condition in the field, but i've got an error.
Ex : iif(Turnover <> 0, Cost/Turnover,0)
But i've got error message when the turnover is 0.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
I am having a terrible time with a stored procedure. I think it has something to do with a divide by zero issue. Here is my sproc:

FirstName,
LastName,
FirstName + ' ' + LastName As Name,
"SPct" =

WHEN 0 THEN 0
ELSE
Cast
( Cast
( (
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID AND AtBatID = '1') +

) * 1.0
) As int
) As Decimal(4,3))
End
FROM Player
WHERE TeamID = @TeamID
ORDER BY FirstName, LastName
Here is the error I get when I run this:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Procedure GetPlayers, Line 9
Arithmetic overflow error converting int to data type numeric.
So the results should look like: .333 or .500 or .000
It's driving me crazy. I have tried everything but cannot get the desired results. I'm hoping someone can help me.
Thanks,

I know you can resolve "divide by zero" messages with a CASE statement.
However, the T-SQL docs suggest that I should be able to simply turn off both the error message and the effect of the error with
SET ARITHIGNORE ON
and
SET ARITHABORT OFF
I am trying to execute these two statements within a stored proc but I need their effect to reach to a select statment that is a sql string (as in 'EXECUTE (@SQLSTRING)' within the same stored proc.
Am I wrong to expect these statements to be able to deal with "divide by zeroes"?
I haven't been able to make it work so I would appreciate any pointers that someone might have.
Many thanks.
let say
1/2 = 0.5
anyone know how to set it become 0.5? by default the value will become 0,
this is from a SQL playbook
i don't understand the logic of DIVIDE when you use more than one NOT EXISTS
such as this query
select distinct itemname from qdel del where not exists (select * from qspl
where not exists (select * from qitem where itemtype='n' and not exists
(select * from qdel where qdel.itemname=qitem.itemname
and qdel.splno=qspl.splno)) and not exists (select * from qdel
where qdel.itemname = del.itemname and qdel.splno=qspl.splno))
i don't understand how can NOT EXISTS code brings out the results of the existing rows in those not exists lines
like it says NOT EXISTS itemtype 'n' etc. but that is the results!
I would like to divide the value of column_2 by the value of column_3 and have the result returned in a new_column.....
"SELECT column_1, column_2, column_3, (dbo.column_2 "DIVIDED BY" dbo.column_3) AS new_column
FROM dbo"
Do I have to create a 'temp table' to do this?
If you cannot tell, I am VERY new to this and would appreciate any help!!!
Thank you in advance! Nathan

I am writing a report that deals with time in seconds. I am trying to figure out the average handle time for each call.
To Get this number i use 5 fields. the formula is
(((cs_acd_trk_t + cs_acd_ext_c)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c)) + ((cs_t_acd_wrk)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))
Which translates to ((Incoming Handle Time) + (Work))/(Number of Incoming Calls)
When it does the calculations some times the cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c (number of incoming calls) is zero.
I dont know how to get around this ... i tried to set that value to <>0 in my query but it threw my other numbers off for number of calls which is a different value on the report.
Any Help on this would be super appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
I have a query that goes against an Oracle 9i database. I have run it in RS and in native oracle environment and get the same query results. I have guaranteed there are no NULL values.
If I structure the expression (as a 0 value test) it works fine. It puts 0/1 for in the result field correctly.
=iif(Fields!LDLM.Value = 0, 0.0, 1.0)
If when I put in the actual divide statement I get a zero divide error.
=iif(Fields!LDLM.Value = 0, 0.0,
((Fields!LDTM.Value - Fields!LDLM.Value) / Fields!LDLM.Value) * 100)
What could possibly be wrong? What is it I do not see?
This is as easy as it gets but it's driving me crazy !!!!!
Any thoughts. ANYBODY !!!!
In the following expression, the query executes with no errors (there are sometimes 0's and nulls in IRON and ENERGY):
SELECT * FROM gff2vg
WHERE (gff2vg.ENERGY > 0 and gff2vg.IRON > 0)
order by IRON/ENERGY desc
but when TOP is added there is a divide by zero error. Is there a way to avoid this?
SELECT TOP(64) * FROM gff2vg
WHERE (gff2vg.ENERGY > 0 and gff2vg.IRON > 0)
order by IRON/ENERGY desc
Thanks.

How I can rectify divide by zero exception in stored procedure
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm new at SSRS and writing functions. I don't have something right here, but can't see what it is.
My function is:
Public Function TestDivide(Numerator as double, Divisor as double)
dim retVal
if Numerator <= 0 then
retVal = 0
end if
if Divisor= 0 then
retVal =0
else
retval = Numerator/Divisor
end if
return retVal
End Function
I have to test both the numerator and divisor because either or both may be 0.
In the cell I call it with this formula, thinking that the black part is the first argument and the red part is the second. But SSRS tells me "Argument not specified for parameter "Divisor".
=Code.TestDivide(RunningValue(Fields!Sales.Value,sum,nothing) - RunningValue(Fields!Cost.Value,sum,nothing)) ,
RunningValue(Fields!Sales.Value,sum,nothing)
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
I am getting an error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression looks like this:
= IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Fields!Hours.Value / Fields!Qty.Value)
I have successfully used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this:
IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value)
I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside the second IIF and the calculation works.
What's strange is that the division would even be carried out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that.
Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach?
