SIMPLE Command To Convert String To Number? Not CAST Or CONVERT.
Aug 15, 2006Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

Concat With A Loop - Convert Number Into String Character
Apr 5, 2014I'm new to SQL and I've been trying this for a while now.
I have let's say a loop of numbers from one to ten. It appears like this:
1
2
3
4
5
What I want to do is to have it appear on one column like this: 12345, the problem is I can't seem to figure out if I need to only have one variable or I'm missing something else, I figured you need to convert them into a string character but I'm still unable to do it.
SQL 2012 :: Picking Number String Out Of Text String
Jul 14, 2015I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

How Can I Convert Datetime To Number Of Minutes
Oct 9, 2007I have a column in a table that stores the number of hours a task took to do. The column TaskDuration is a datetime datatype. I need to convert the hours to something that can be summed. Does anyone how this can be done? I tried CONVERT(nvarchar(5), tblTasks.TaskDuration, 108) but of course the nvarchar(5) cannot be summed. Maybe there is a way to convert the time portion to minutes and divide it by 60, anyway if someone can offer some help I appreciate it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedConvert Month Into Its Number Equivalent...(Ex. JAN=1,FEB=2...)
Oct 17, 2006Good Day to Everyone,
Need help!
I have this SQL table w/ fieldname "PayPeriod". Sample value of PayPeriod are SEP06-1, SEP06-2, OCT06-1, OCT06-2... Wherein the first 3 chars is the month, 06 is the year, 1 or 2 is the cutoff where 1 means the 2nd half of the previous month and 2 is the first half of the current month.
Now my questions are:
1.) How can I select these values sorted according to date. Since this is a character data type. Sorting is alphabetical. I need to sort it according to date where JAN05-1 is the first record and the last record is DEC06-2 (assuming that the oldest year is 05 and 06 is the latest).
2.) How can I convert the 3 char month into its number equivalent. Example, JAN is equal to 1, FEB is 2, MAR is 3....
3.) How can I count the no. of days in a month? Is there a function that would result to the no. of days in a given month?
Thank you so much in advance. :)

How Do You Convert A Number From Negative To Positive?
Jan 18, 2008I was just wondering if there is a way of converting a number from negative to positive within Reporting Services, ie remove the "-" sign from the front of the number? One of the columns within my report contains a calculation which results in an integer, but it is always a negative number, even though it should really be positive (it would take too long to describe the exact reason for this, but it's to do with the underlying database, which I don't have access to anyway). When I right-click on the relevant cell within the table in Layout view in the Report Designer and go to Expression, there is a list of Conversion functions under the "Common Functions" heading but I can't find anything there which would convert a number from negative to positive. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Convert DateTime To Int - Display Number Of Days
Sep 1, 2014I'm stuck on converting a datetime field to Int. Basically, one of the fields in the select returns the datetime of a journey. However I need to be able to add up the number of days for a specific person who done that journey, e.g. it will return 21/08/2014, 22/08/2014 etc...
I then need to total up the days as a new field to display the number of days.
Can you do this by converting a datetime to int then use COUNT on the int?

Convert A String To Int?
Jul 10, 2014using sql 2008, trying to convert a string to int
Example
Table1 has a varchar which i want to cast to int
00125000000 to int 125000000
i used the following

Table2 has the same field in a different format.
0.00125
i need to find a way to convert one of them so they both match. if i did a join and matched the fields.

but for some reason it dosent look like they match, although they look the same. maybe a type problem?

How To Convert A Hex String To An Integer?
Feb 1, 2000Hi folks,
I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into
an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits)
expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing
the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert
them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.)
I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g.
select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode
gives the error
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the
hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard
to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org
as I don't read this board.
Thanks,

Convert String To Date In DTS
Dec 7, 1999I'm using SQL 7.0 SP1.
I am using DTS to read in a date with the format of YYYYMMDD. I am trying to convert this date to MM/DD/YYYY and then use the CDate function with the following code to load it into a Datetime column in SQL Server:
Function Main()
strDate = DTSSource("Col002")
strYear = Left(strDate, 4)
strMonth = Mid(strDate, 5, 2)
strDay = Right(strDate, 2)
strHoldDate = strMonth + "/" + strDay + "/" + strYear
DTSDestination("DateName") = strHoldDate
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
My DTS package will execute without errors, but it does not add the row. I have been successful using CDate when the source date is in the format MM/DD/YYYY.
Also, do you have any tips on how to debug DTS? How to see what's in a variable, etc.?
Thanks!

Convert String To Hex And Concatenate With
Sep 4, 2014To start, I am NOT a SQL programmer. I have to do some minimal SQL administration (DB Creation, Backups, Security) on spatial databases that are for the most part managed by a 3rd party program. My experience with T-SQL is mostly simple tasks (i.e. Select and Update statements)..However I have been requested to calculate an ID Field using the values of two other fields. Per the request, I need to convert one field to Hex and concatenate with the second field.
ex. Field 1 + Field 2(hex string) = Field 3
Field 1 = 'FF02324323'
Field 2 = 'Smith Creek'
Field 3 = 'FF02324323536D69746820437265656B'
Field 1 VarChar(10) (Code)
Field 2 VarChar(65) (Common Name)
Field 3 VarChar(max) (ResourceID)
Spent half the day searching and have tried various forms of CAST, CONVERT, fn_varbintohexstr and others but have unable to come up with the correct combination to get what I need.
