SELECT membername, outputval
case when choice = 0 then outputval else null end as outputval
from MyDatabase
group by membername, outputval
how to format outputval:
if outputval < 40000
format outputval as:
5 - 5.78 - 6.9 - 6,778 - 4,567.8 - 12,456.78 - etc.
if outputval >= 40000
format it as a scientific.
I've got some values stored in nvachar(255) field stored by mistake as scientific notation (eg 7.5013e+006 instead of 7501301) and I need to convert and update the field with normal entry, not scientific notation. Is there a way to do that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe sometimes have small values stored in a column with datatype of float like 0.000644470739403048 which is being converted to -5.8E-05. Perhaps that is OK to be stored in the database however I need the value in decimal format to use. (I'm using longitude values in google maps).
is there anything I can do at the database level. I was looking at the properties which is 53 numeric precision and 8 length.
I'm trying to find a way to format a FLOAT variable into a varchar inSQL Server 2000 but using CAST/CONVERT I can only get scientificnotation i.e. 1e+006 instead of 1000000 which isn't really what Iwanted.Preferably the varchar would display the number to 2 decimal placesbut I'd settle for integers only as this conversion isn't businesscritical and is a nice to have for background information.Casting to MONEY or NUMERIC before converting to a varchar works finefor most cases but of course runs the risk of arithmetic overflow ifthe FLOAT value is too precise for MONEY/NUMERIC to handle. If anyoneknows of an easy way to test whether overflow will occur and thereforeto know not to convert it then that would be an option.I appreciate SQL Server isn't great at formatting and it would be fareasier in the client code but code this is being performed as adescription of a very simple calculation in a trigger, all stored tothe database on the server side so there's no opportunity for clientintervention.Example code:declare @testFloat floatselect @testFloat = 1000000.12select convert(varchar(100),@testFloat) -- gives 1e+006select cast(@testFloat as varchar(100)) -- gives 1e+006select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- gives1000000.12select @testFloat = 12345678905345633453453624453453524.123select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorselect convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as numeric)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorAny suggestions welcome...CheersDave

Hi All,
Am I missing something or is there something odd with float data types. i know that float is not the most precise definition but i came across something really odd today.
first let me define the scenario.
this is sql server 2005, standard edition build 3042.
I have a table defined as
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ASSET](
[Property_Num] [numeric](10, 0) NOT NULL,
[Accrual_Factor_Val] [float] NULL
)
the accrual_factor_val was updated to a value of 0.00005 then the web service failed because the proc returned 5E-05!
i opened the table, and discovered this is the stored value. is this correct?
thoughts and ideas?
thanks for your input!
Hi ,
I have one problem regarding format of mixed data columns in excel. I am using this query to retieve data from my excel spreadsheet
Select * from OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;IMEX=1;IHDR=yes;Database=E: est.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [original$]')
to retrieve data from excel sheet.
I am able to retreive all data (numaric and text) , but for few cells I am getting wrong values.
like this
15106749310-> 1.51067e+010
70400672657-> 7.04007e+010
48110753143-> 4.81108e+010
registry setting are €œtext and 0€³. I am also using IMEX=1 in connection string.
I have numeric and text data both in same column,
eg:
70400503549
70400672657
KF1080420908
KF1260370908
KF1260880908
KF1260960908
Could you please help me to get the correct value from excel .
thanks in advance ,
Program Descritpion: Our product allows our customers to enter their product catalogs into our ASP.NET pages and we save the data using SQL Server 2005. Customer use GridViews to edit their data and teh data is broken into manageable groupings (called Field Groups) stored as meta-data in SQL Server Tables. Then when a user wants to edit a set of data they choose the Field Group and we dynamically generate a data source and a gridview, bind them together, and our users update their data. A bit more complicated but that's teh gist.
Another thing they can do, and where our problem occurs, is they can print reports or do exports into excel using this data. Since there are so many fields, they use the Field Groups to select which fields they want included so everything needs to be built dynamcially, at runtime, using the Field Group meta-data. Essentially, I want my grid to have these 10 fields.
Problem:For the export we generate an XML data source using FOR XML in SQL Sprocs. The xml is pulled into a xmldatadocument, trasnformed with an xsl file into an Excel XML Spreadsheet. Our problem is that FOR XML is generating our XML real numbers in scientific format. The xsl "format-number" function does not recognize scientific format and returns NaN (not a number) instead of the value in my spreadsheet. If I leave it blank I get the scientific number but Excel doesn't format it correctly, the cell has an error tag that wants me to choose Number stored as text or convert to a number. I need it to show up on teh Excel form already formatted without that message.
I can't change the DataType of the field in SQL, too many other things depend on it and it needs to be a real. I can't use CONVERT(decimal,fieldName) in SQL because the SQL string is dynmically generated using Dynamic SQL and most of the fields are not real. When we build the Field List we just have field names, we can't check anything to add CONVERT functions to only real fields.
Is there any way to force the XML output to not be scientific for the entire document? Or another function in XSL I'm unaware of (pretty new to xsl)? Or perhaps something I can do in the XML Spreadsheet tags to force the conversion?
I have created SSRS report which has many overlapping objects, the output in PDF format seems to good but in word format it is not giving the required output.

I am trying to format the result output from my query so that it looks like currency. Does anyone know how to do this?
Here is my very simple select statement:

Thanks for your help!
In my report I have used the "jump to url" for the report output but when I export this to excel I get a column with the correct data and also the url.
Is there anyway of exporting the data without the url?
I want my users to be able to view the report and click on the column the want to URL jump to but also be able to export just the raw data without the URL?

I manually build my url for my reports. In the url I build, I can specify the output format I would like it to automatically use when the report opens. However, it always first opens the dialog box to either Save, Open, or Cancel. Is there anyway to bypass this and just open it in the format I have coded in the url? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Kids,
I've just upgraded a 6.5 database to version 7.0 and I'm having a problem with default date output formats.
Under 6.5 the output format was: Sep 2 2001 12:00PM
Under 7.0 the same field is output as: 2001-09-02 12:00:00.000
Is there a way to permanently set the default output format for dates on a database or server wide?
Thanks

The report server is remote to the development server (VS 2003).
The web application that will be calling it is ASP.NET 2.0 and developed in VS 2005.
I have a couple of questions:
a: Can I link to the report from the web application using a basic Hyperlink control rather than using a ReportViewer control?
b: How can I force which format it opens in? Say I want it to be rendered as a PDF in one instance but at an XSL document in another.
Many thanks and kindest regards,

Hi all,
I'm Trying to replicate the creation of an "xml" file that is currently created using a C++ application. I want to take that application out of the picture, but need to create the same format XML file because a step later in the production process uses this file, and I cannot change it.
The output format I am looking for is:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FUNDS>
<AMRGX>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</AMRGX>
<AHERX>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</AHERX>
<AMRVX>
<NAME>AMERICAN INVESTORS GROWTH FUND</NAME>
</AMRVX>
.
.
.
</FUNDS>The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get the level/node of the fund symbol (AMRGX, AHERX, and AMRVX in the example above) as it needs to be. I think this must be some non-standard use of XML, since the tag is really the data itself (?)
The closest I have been able to get so far is:
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AMRGX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</FUNDS>
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AHERX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</FUNDS>
.
.
.As you can see (hopefully) I am able to get the data I need but cannot get:
(1) the FUNDS tag(s) to be the very highest level/root.
nor (2) the SYMBOL part (tag label?) to be the actual variable stock fund.
Am I 'splaining this well enough? I don't necessarily need all the code, since I know I haven't given enough info to help with that, but my basic question is - - Is it possible to get a variable TAG based on the table DATA?
I want my SYMBOL tag to be the actual SYMBOL for the stock fund.
Confused? Not as much as I am *LOL* I am new to the use of all but XML EXPLICIT use, so any help would be appreciated - at least regarding my two formatting questions.
Yes, I have (and am still) searching around BOL for my answers, but so I have found nothing that helps me out. Meanwhile, suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Hello folks,
A while back I wrote a .NET assembly with a COM wrapper to provide an interface between Report Services and legacy MS Access applications. Basically, it returns the byte arrays from the .render method (output format emf) to be written into an Access image control.
This worked flawlessly on any 8.5"x11" RS report we threw at it on the first two Report Services I tried it against. When we set up a third Report Service at another facility, the same reports were coming out with the physical dimension metrics on the emf as10"x13", so the Access version of the report is clipped significantly on the edges.
I trapped the output into a System.Drawing.Image object in the .NET assembly and put a watch on it. The two servers that work as I expected show HorizontalResolution and VerticalResolution as 96.0946, while the one that doesn't has these values as 81.2799. The PhysicalDimension property shows 21542.3672 x 27939.4316 on the working servers and 25531.25 x 33031.25 Otherwise, the properties of the images seem to be identical. The PhysicalDimension values I see are completely consistent with the size units of 0.01 mm, as the the emf documentation indicates. The resolution of 96 is consistent with the "Windows default" values of 96 dpi. The ratio of the resolutions is correct for an 85% scaling factor for the "misbehaving" Report Service.
I have not been able to find any reason for the differences between the Report Services, and I have not been able to figure out how to control it. I tried setting DpiX and DpiY as 96 in the DeviceInfo for the render call with no change in the behavior of either server.
Can anybody enlighten me on what is happening and what I need to do to get consistent behavior between the servers? Or why the DpiX and DpiY settings for the emf rendering extension don't seem to work?
Thanks,

I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.
<style type="text/css">table.gridtable { font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#333333;border-width:1px; border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; } table.gridtable td {border-width: 1px; padding: 8px; border-style: solid; border-color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff;}</style>
If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.

I am new to SQL 2005. I have to design schema for scientific data warehouse. Data is available in 2 or more flat data files recorded at 1 sec interval. At Least 2 of the data files have 100+ columns. I am inclined to create a table per data file type. I want to know If this is correct/optimal for me to do?
I don't think I can create normalize tables based on the headers in these Data files.
Primary Objective of this data warehouse is make it available for reporting services and Analysis Services.
Any suggestions or tutorials for me?
