Alright so I keep getting this error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ' Days ' to data type int.
Below is my code.....what am I doing wrong here....I am trying to show the day, hour and minute difference...I used the CASTS in my datediff because those were different columns so I used the cast to conjoin them to make it easier to do my datediff.....
DATEDIFF(DD, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME)) + ' Days '
+ DATEDIFF(HH, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME)) + ' Hours '
+ DATEDIFF(MINUTE, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME)) + ' Minutes'
AS Time_diff2,
DateDiff function will return result in integer. And here, you are combining Integer value and string value. Therefore, you are facing type difference error.
You have to cast datediff output to varchar as mentioned below
cast(DATEDIFF(DD, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME))as varchar(50)) + ' Days '
+ cast(DATEDIFF(HH, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME))as varchar(50)) + ' Hours '
+ cast(DATEDIFF(MINUTE, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME) + CAST(txt_signoff_ml_time AS DATETIME)) as varchar(50)) + ' Minutes'
This:
DATEDIFF(DD, checkin_datetime, CAST(txt_signoff_ml_date AS DATETIME)
needs a closing bracket. That should get you started.

I am trying to write this using SQL SERVER:
"Hi! Today is ... This is the day number... of the year. New year's eve is in ... days".
My code runs with no problem but I can't print as well. What am I doing wrong? I haven't finished the whole phrase because I need to fix the problem before I get to the last part.
DECLARE
#currentDate DateTime
SET #currentDate = GETDATE();
DECLARE #dayofyear datetime
SET #dayofyear=DATEDIFF(day,STR(YEAR(#dayofyear),4)+'0101',#dayofyear)+1
-- SELECT Numbertoday = DATEDIFF(day,STR(YEAR(#dayofyear),4)+'0101',#dayofyear)+1
print('Hi! Today is '+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #currentDate , 111) + '. ' + 'This is the day number '+ ' ' + CONVERT (VARCHAR(10), #dayofyear) + of the year.')
Another way to do is:
declare #today varchar(11) = convert(varchar(11), getdate(), 1);
declare #dayOfTheYear int = datepart(DAYOFYEAR, getdate());
declare #untilNewYearsEve int = datepart(dayofyear, datefromparts(year(getdate()), 12, 31)) - #dayOfTheYear
-- if you use print, you should see the result under the 'messages' tab not in the 'results' tab in SSMS
print 'Hi! Today is '+ #today + '. ' + 'This is the day number '+ cast( #dayOfTheYear as varchar(3)) + '. New year''s eve is in '+
cast (#untilNewYearsEve as varchar(3)) + ' days.'
This should work perfectly fine.
while seeting the day of year you need to put #current date so it will work because you are trying to get a day from a #currentdate
DECLARE
#currentDate DateTime
SET #currentDate = GETDATE();
DECLARE #dayofyear datetime
SET #dayofyear=DATEDIFF(day,STR(YEAR(#currentDate),4)+'0101',#currentDate)+1
print('Hi! Today is '+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #currentDate , 111) + '. ' + 'This is the day number '+ ' ' + CONVERT (VARCHAR(10), #dayofyear) + 'of the year.')
Just for fun, you can use concat()
Example
Print concat('Hi! Today is '
,format(GetDate(),'dddd, MMM d, yyyy.')
,' This is the day number '
,DateDiff(DAY,datename(YEAR,getdate())+'0101',getdate()) + 1
,' of the year.'
)
Results
Hi! Today is Thursday, Jul 4, 2019. This is the day number 185 of the year.
You can simplify things a bit using DAYOFYEAR parameter in the DATEPART function if using SQL 2008 and above. And you don't really need to declare a variable for the date.
Sample Code:
print('Hi! Today is '+ convert(varchar(10), getdate() , 111) + '. ' + 'This is the day number' + ' ' + convert(varchar, datepart(dayofyear, getdate()))) + ' of the year.'
Results:
Hi! Today is 2019/07/05. This is the day number 186 of the year.
I am trying to get object which its start date + start time have passed or equal to current datetime and its end date + end time hasn't pass the current datetime. I tried convert current datetime to nvarchar as all my columns are nvarchar. I also tried converting my columns to datetime type but it doesn't work too. Please help
Column:
startDate - nvarchar (dd/mm/yyyy)
startTime - nvarchar (hh:mm) 24 hr
endDate - nvarchar(dd/mm/yyyy)
endTime - nvarchar(hh:mm) 24hr
i did try to but datetime betwween startDate + startTime AND endDate +startTime,
but it doesn't seems to work :
SELECT * FROM Promo
WHERE membership = '1'
AND promoStatus = '1'
AND CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 101) + ' ' +
CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(hh, GetDate())) + ':' +
RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(mi, GetDate())), 2) BETWEEN
startDate + ' ' + startTime
AND endDate + ' ' + endTime
i did try other method too :
SELECT * FROM Promo
WHERE membership = '1'
AND promoStatus = '1'
AND startDate + ' ' + startTime <= CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 101) + ' ' +
CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(hh, GetDate())) + ':' +
RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(mi, GetDate())), 2)
AND endDate + ' ' + endTime >= CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 101) + ' ' +
CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(hh, GetDate())) + ':' +
RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, DATEPART(mi, GetDate())), 2)
You could do it like this:
SELECT *
FROM Promo
WHERE
membership = '1'
AND promoStatus = '1'
AND CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), GETDATE(), 120) AS DATETIME) BETWEEN
CONVERT(DATETIME, #startDate, 103) + CONVERT(DATETIME, #startTime)
AND CONVERT(DATETIME, #endDate, 103) + CONVERT(DATETIME, #endTime)
This line:
CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), GETDATE(), 120) AS DATETIME)
gets the current date time up to its minutes, meaning this will strip off the seconds and milliseconds part of the GETDATE().
And this line:
CONVERT(DATETIME, #startDate, 103) + CONVERT(DATETIME, #startTime)
will combine your date and time variables to form a new DATETIME value.
Note that you could have done away with with this if you design the tables using the proper data types.
Try this
SELECT * FROM Promo
WHERE membership = '1'
AND promoStatus = '1'
AND CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), GetDate(), 120) AS DATETIME)
BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, startDate + ' ' + startTime, 120)
AND CONVERT(DATETIME, endDate + ' ' + endTime, 120)
DECLARE #FINANCIALYEAR AS varchar(30)
DECLARE #FINALFINANCIALYEAR AS int
SELECT #FINANCIALYEAR=CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-2) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-1) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE()))
set #FINALFINANCIALYEAR = CONVERT(int,#FINANCIALYEAR)
print #FINALFINANCIALYEAR
i want final output in int format so iam doing above code but it gives me error plz help
Simple query
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-2) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-1) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE()))
Select YEAR (GetDate())-2,YEAR (GetDate())-1, YEAR (GetDate())
Just check what your variable is after your SELECT:
DECLARE #FINANCIALYEAR AS varchar(30)
DECLARE #FINALFINANCIALYEAR AS int
SELECT #FINANCIALYEAR=CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-2) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-1) + ', ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE()))
SELECT #FINANCIALYEAR
The output is:
2008, 2009, 2010
This is clearly NOT a valid INT value - so it's obvious you're getting a conversion error.....
SELECT DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()), DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()) - 1, DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()) - 2
this year is
Select datepart(year,getdate())
or
year(getdate())
Using SQL Server 2005
Date Time
20060701 090000
20060702 020000
20060703 180000
...
Date and Time datatype is varchar
Tried Query
select Convert(datetime, Convert(char(10), date, 103) + ' ' + Convert(char(8), time, 108), 103) from table
SELECT
CAST(
DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, date)) + ' ' +
DATEADD(Day, -DATEDIFF(Day, 0, time), time)
as datetime) from table
It showing error as out of range value.
How to solve this issue.
Need Sql Query Help
First off, why are you storing a DATETIME in a VARCHAR?
This should be able to help
DECLARE #Table TABLE(
Val VARCHAR(20)
)
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060701 090102'
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060702 020000'
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060703 180000'
SELECT *,
CAST(SUBSTRING(Val,1,8) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(Val,10,2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(Val,12,2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(Val,14,2) AS DATETIME)
FROM #Table
I came across a similar issue a few years ago, when importing HL7 messages. Here is a copy of the function I used. It creates a DateTime string with the time component correctly separated into hh:mm:ss, which is needed for the cast to DateTime.
CREATE FUNCTION fn_StringDateTietoDateTime
(
#Date varchar(15)
)
RETURNS datetime
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Result DATETIME
SET #Result = NULL
If len(#Date) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT #Result = CAST(SUBSTRING(#hl7date, 1, 8) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(#hl7date, 10, 2) + ':' +
SUBSTRING(#date, 12, 2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(#date,14, 2) AS DATETIME)
END
RETURN #RESULT
END
How to convert the datetime value to nvarchar and want to format it "Month, Year" e-g October 1st 2009 value should get converted to "October, 2009"
use this:
select CONVERT(nvarchar(50), DATENAME(m, getdate())
+ ', '
+ DATENAME(yyyy, getdate())
)
OUTPUT:
--------------------------------------------------
October, 2009
(1 row(s) affected)
Try this
DECLARE #DateTime DATETIME
SET #DateTime = '01 Oct 2009'
SELECT #DateTime
SELECT DATENAME(mm, #DateTime) + ', ' + CAST(DATEPART(yy, #DateTime) AS VARCHAR(4))
One way would be to use datename to extract the pieces you needed in name format, so:
select Convert(nvarchar,datename(m,getdate())) + N', ' + Convert(nvarchar,datename
(yy,getdate()))
And replace getdate() with your date variable / field.
The DateName function will provide the formatting you require:
DATENAME(m, date) + ', ' + DATENAME(yyyy, date)
Converting to nvarchar of a specific size can be done through the cast function:
CAST(value AS nvarchar[30])
Try the following query:
Select case Convert(int, day(getdate())) when 1 then '1st' when 2 then '2nd'
when 3 then '3rd' else Convert(varchar, day(getdate()))+'th' end +' '+ Convert(varchar, Datename(m,getdate()))+' ' +Convert(varchar, Datename(yy,getdate())) as Date
You can replace getdate() with any other date.
Please check if it helps.
