Filling in a column in SQL with a Case_when - sql

So I have a column called censusbloccode2. I have just read this in from a fixed width file. The desired task is to have it to the following
If censusbloccode2 is blank then input a "0". If it has anything in it.. then leave it alone
When I broke up the fixed width text file... it is designated as a char (1) if that helps.
All of the search results that I have seen query this using a select.

How to Translaste this =SUM(COUNTIFS(F4:AN4,{"0","1"})) into VBA?

I need help translating a common Excel function, into VBA code.
Please see attached screenshot for the code I already have started.
I am using the calculations seen in the screenshot to build a scorecard/grading worksheet. I will need to adjust the rows in each of these, but never the columns.
Once I figure this out, I will then loop these to repeat for each new row as they are added.
image of my code, so far
When a literal string needs to contain double-quote characters, you need to use two double-quotes in a row for each double-quote you need in the string.
So your string
Range("AP4").Formula = "SUM(COUNTIFS(J3:AR3,{"0","1"}))"
needs to look like this:
Range("AP4").Formula = "SUM(COUNTIFS(J3:AR3,{"“0"”,""1""}))"
You can also do this without putting the formula into the content of the cell like this:
Range("AP4") = WorksheetFunction.SUM(WorksheetFunction.COUNTIFS(J3:AR3,{""0"",""1""}))

Changing the title of a column in a PivotTable

I am having trouble changing the title of some columns in a pivot table. I'm trying to make them have dates in them. Each date 6 days further from the last.
Like this
But, I cannot get an equation inside the column title to stay, every time I type in the equation and press enter, it evaluates to either 0 (If the format of the cell is number or general), or 1/0/1990 (If formatted as a date). I checked the value of the cell by =ISTEXT(A1) and it evaluates as true. No matter how I format the cell. So I can never change the title to look like the picture. Any ides?
Here is what I have.
TRUE is the result from ISTEXT()
Even if I manually enter in the formula via the function arguments, it'll show up correct, but when I click ok. It will go back to either 0 or 1/0/1990
Here's the original page

In Excel, dynamic values (formulas) in the header of a table-formatted table are not allowed.
Instead, you can first generate your table header and then format the table as (pivot-)table. You should get a message saying that the header row will be converted in static text (with correct format).

SSRS Report Printing Incorrectly

I am trying to figure out why a row keeps on blowing up during printing. Here is an example: http://imgur.com/OQD9VEh #2 is where it is getting extended. As you can see it happens when the data continues on to the next page. It is because of the columns on the right where the values are "Family" and "Mom". If I remove those two columns, the report prints out fine. Once I add them back in, the last row, no matter the row, expands dramatically if it is the leading row on the next page.
Things that I have already tried which have not worked:
- Disabling the option to have the cells increase or decrease in height.
- Tried increasing the height and width of the tablix
- Altered the data type and size to only 6 char for both columns on the left
Any ideas?
Add a column to the right of your outermost column and set its width to very small with no borders and background color(invisible). This may do the trick.
have you try to have the same row height same as the above.
try to set the row "Can Shrink" to false and "Can Grow" to false

Aligning Text that is output to file? Columns

I have some data which I run through, which generates a textfile.
The data is all pulled correctly, but it doesn't format correctly.
Right now, I am using TAB + Variable to space between each column but it is obviously made uneven as different variables differ in character length. Here is the layout:
RECORD NAME ADDRESS TELEPHONE SOMETHING SOMETHING
... Data is here.
Any ideas?
String.Format is your friend here.
It's very powerfull and gives you the function to align your output.
For example:
(EDIT: removed the txt prefix because could be confusing, now I suppose that data to be formatted is contained in string vars)
Dim result as string
result = String.Format("{0,-10}{1,-30}{2,-30}{3,-10}{4,20}", Record, Name, Address, Telephone, Something)
The result will be aligned to the left in a 10 space column for the first element (txtRecord) and so on for the remainders, the last element will be formatted in a column with 20 space and right aligned
If that's not enough look at composite formatting to get other useful options

Getting display text as ###### for some of the cell in excel after writing from Vb.net code

I am writting to an excel file from my vb code. The code goes as below
xlsheet3 = xlBook.Sheets.Add(After:=xlSheet)
With xlsheet3
.Columns(5).NumberFormat = "#"
.Cells(j + 1, 5) = someStringValue 'Here "j" is a row counter and this line is in a "for loop"
end with
After writing to excel, most of the cells in excel are correct. But some of the cell's text comes as ####### however if I click on the cell, formula bar shows the correct result. I have tried giving single code before adding the text still that did not help.
Please help me in resolving this.
Thank you
There is not any issue with your code. You need to increase the width of the column or have to use word wrap. In excel if your value is not fully visible it shows it is "######".
If widening and wrapping text doesn't work and the format is set to text which allows display of only 255 characters, try changing the format to general.
This just indicates that the cell is too small for showing the result: make it wider.
See https://superuser.com/questions/65556/excel-displays-for-long-text-whats-wrong for some common reasons why Excel displays "######" in cells.
Either the cell is too narrow to display the contents or the contents are over 256 characters.
Check what you're writing to the cell. If it's not too long then all you need to do is resize the column to fit the new contents.
This is simply what Excel does when the data in a column is too wide to be displayed in the current column width. Make the column slightly wider and you will see all your data.
To autosize the column so it is wide enough to display all its data, double click the column divider at the right edge of the column, in the header bar.
