This was working last week but now it has an error like this:
Invalid formula - Operator "+" doesn't support TEXT + NUMBER. Operator "+" supports NUMBER + NUMBER
Current formula:
COUNT_DISTINCT(CASE
WHEN First Duration+Second Duration<=24 THEN New ID
ELSE NULL
END ) / COUNT_DISTINCT(CASE
WHEN First Duration IS NULL THEN NULL
WHEN Second Duration IS NULL THEN NULL
ELSE New ID
END )
I can only recommend checking that the First Duration and Second Duration dimensions are fields in the type number format. Otherwise, you can change it manually or create a new field to format the text dimension into a number.
I had problems where a field of type number or date, after a database update, was interpreted by Google Data Studio in text format. Apparently your formula doesn't have any syntax errors, only the dimensions used don't seem to follow the recommended format.

I work on SQL server 2012 I face issue :i can't get first max value from value Unit based on First value before comma .
as example This value Unit below :
1.89, 2.625, 3.465
I will get first value before comma separated as 1.89 then if this number is max value return full number
exist on Value Unit
create table #finaltable
(
partid int,
ValueUnit nvarchar(50)
)
insert into #finaltable(partid,ValueUnit)
values
(2532,'1.71, 2.375, 3.135'),
(2532,'1.89, 2.625, 3.465')
select * from #finaltable
How to get first max value from field ValueUnit based on first value before comma separated ?
Expected Result returned :
1.89, 2.625, 3.465
because 1.89 is maximum number from 1.71 then I returned full number
I agree with the comments, your design is bad. For more on that, you should also read "Is storing a delimited list in a database column really that bad?".
But well, you can use patindex() to get the position of the comma and then extract the first number representation with left(). convert() it to some decimal, order by it and take the TOP 1 row.
SELECT TOP 1
*
FROM #finaltable
ORDER BY convert(decimal(4, 3), left(valueunit, patindex('%,%', valueunit) - 1)) DESC;
You may need to tweak the conversion to a decimal. I don't know what maximum length and precision you may need.
I read through the documentation for the SqlServer EXCEPT operator and I see no mention of explicit trimming of white space at the end of a string. However, when running:
SELECT 'Test'
EXCEPT
SELECT 'Test '
no results are returned. Can anyone explain this behavior or how to avoid it when using EXCEPT?
ANSI SQL-92 requires strings to be the same length before comparing and the pad character is a space.
See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/316626/inf-how-sql-server-compares-strings-with-trailing-spaces for more information
In the ANSI standard (accessed here section 8.2 )
3) The comparison of two character strings is determined as follows:
a) If the length in characters of X is not equal to the length
in characters of Y, then the shorter string is effectively
replaced, for the purposes of comparison, with a copy of
itself that has been extended to the length of the longer
string by concatenation on the right of one or more pad char-
acters, where the pad character is chosen based on CS. If
CS has the NO PAD attribute, then the pad character is an
implementation-dependent character different from any char-
acter in the character set of X and Y that collates less
than any string under CS. Otherwise, the pad character is a
<space>.
b) The result of the comparison of X and Y is given by the col-
lating sequence CS.
c) Depending on the collating sequence, two strings may com-
pare as equal even if they are of different lengths or con-
tain different sequences of characters. When the operations
MAX, MIN, DISTINCT, references to a grouping column, and the
UNION, EXCEPT, and INTERSECT operators refer to character
strings, the specific value selected by these operations from
a set of such equal values is implementation-dependent.
If this behaviour must be avoided, you can reverse the columns as part of your EXCEPT:
SELECT 'TEST', REVERSE('TEST')
EXCEPT
SELECT 'TEST ', REVERSE('TEST ')
which gives the expected result, though is quite annoying especially if you're dealing with multiple columns.
The alternative would be to find a collating sequence with an alternate pad character or a no pad option set, though this seems to not exist in t-sql after a quick google.
Alternatively, you could terminate each column with a character and then substring it out in the end:
SELECT SUBSTRING(col,1,LEN(col) -1) FROM
(
SELECT 'TEST' + '^' as col
EXCEPT
SELECT 'TEST ' + '^'
) results
I have a case statement where I'm trying to SUM multiple column int values and then format the summed value to '00000015700+' as an example but getting a conversion error in SQL Server 2016.
Here is the error:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '00000015700+' to
data type int.
Here is my code :
CASE
WHEN x.Code = 'WRITPREM' AND x.[Description] = 'NEW POLICY' THEN RIGHT('00000000000' + CAST(REPLACE((sum(x.totalPolicy_BIN) + sum(x.totalPolicy_COL) + sum(x.totalPolicy_OTC) + sum(x.totalPolicy_PDM) + sum(x.totalPolicy_MED) +sum(x.totalPolicy_PIP) + sum(x.totalPolicy_REN) + sum(x.totalPolicy_TOW) + sum(x.totalPolicy_UBI) + sum(x.totalPolicy_UPD)),'.','') as varchar(12)) + '+',12)END as TEST
Any help/direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
One of the fields that you are sum()ing contains the value with a "+" sign. As a result, SQL Server cannot convert the value to an integer in order to sum(). It seems you are applying the function on a non-numeric column(s). So you have unexpected data in at least one of those columns. Try eliminating some of the sum() columns to figure out which column contains the offending data. Ideally, you'd have the correct data types on each column and not run into this issue.
You have reversed the REPLACE and CAST commands. You should CAST the value to string, then REPLACE the decimal point and add your plus sign to the end, then take the RIGHT(..., 12) of that value.
I have a condition I want to divide two values in report builder with same date but different sample name in the same table...
For example, in this image, I want to divide the CM2(2.85) and Raw Meal(0.58) value. their result should be 4.9.
And if these two parameters (CM2 and Raw Meal) are not on the same date then the value should be empty or nothing. Please help I am new to report builder expression.
I've tried this expression but it does not give me what I need
IIf(InStr(Fields!Sample_Code.Value,"CM2") > 0, Fields!So3.Value, nothing) / IIf(InStr(Fields!Sample_Code.Value,"Raw Meal") > 0, Fields!So3.Value, nothing)
The record will either be CM2 or Raw Meal, but it will never contain both at the same time. If Fields!Sample_Code.Value = "CM2" is true, the second half of the expression will be false, or vice-versa. Fields!Sample_Code.Value can't be two different values at the same time, it can only contain the data from a single record.
Your expression will result in either:
nothing/Fields!So3.Value
or
Fields!So3.Value/nothing.
As a simplified example:
IF( x=1 , 1 , null) / IF( x=2 , 1 , null)
X cannot be two different values at the same time so the expression will never return a non-null result.
You'll need to join CM2 and RAW MEAL records together to evaluate them at the same time. That would probably require a significant change to what you've posted so far.
I have a database that has multiple columns populated with various numeric fields. While trying to populate from a CSV, I must have mucked up assigning delimited fields. The end result is a column containing It's Correct information, but also contains the next column over's data- seperated by a comma.
So instead of Column UPC1 containing "958634", it contains "958634,95877456". The "95877456" is supposed to be in the UPC2 column, instead UPC2 is NULL.
Is there a way for me to split on the comma and send the data to UPC2 while keeping UPC1 data before the comma in tact?
Thanks.
You can do this with string functions. To query the values and verify the logic, try this:
SELECT
LEFT(UPC1, CHARINDEX(',', UPC1) - 1),
SUBSTRING(UPC1, CHARINDEX(',', UPC1) + 1, 1000)
FROM myTable;
If the result is what you want, turn it into an update:
UPDATE myTable SET
UPC1 = LEFT(UPC1, CHARINDEX(',', UPC1) - 1),
UPC2 = SUBSTRING(UPC1, CHARINDEX(',', UPC1) + 1, 1000);
The expression for UPC1 takes the left side of UPC1 up to one character before the comma.
The expression for UPC2 takes the remainder of the UPC1 string starting one character after the comma.
The third argument to SUBSTRING needs some explaining. It's the number of characters you want to include after the starting position of the string (which in this case is one character after the comma's location). If you specify a value that's longer than the string SUBSTRING will just return to the end of the string. Using 1000 here is a lot easier than calculating the exact number of characters you need to get to the end.
