How do I grab the last character of a column and convert it to a number? Example: Column000000000017A000000000038B000000000431CNeed to change the last letter to the following if letter equals to:A=1B= 2C=3Results:1713824313
The ASCII value of A is 65. So you can translate C to 3 by subtracting 64 from its ASCII value.
select cast(
left(col1, len(col1) - 1) +
cast(ascii(upper(right(col1, 1))) - 64 as char(1))
as int)
from Table1

i think you need to use REPLACE function of SQL
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-en/library/ms186862.aspx
Figured it out with the following SQL Statement. To change multiple criteria replace in one column, I used:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(Prev_Month_Vol,'A','1'), 'B', '2'), 'C', '3')
FROM table1
Hope this helps out someone looking to do replace statements.

In a SQL statement I am debugging, I found a - used in a way I don't recognize:
it appears in this SELECT statement between "Book_Balance" and "Participation_Lookups"
SELECT "LNIMPR"."Book_Balance" - "Participation_Lookups"."Participation Principal Assets" AS "C7"
FROM ...
What does the - do in the above context?
It is subtracting the two columns.
They must both be numeric values and in SQL to subtract you use the minus sign -.
If Book_balance is 100 and Participation Principal Assets is 25, then is it basically saying:
select 100 -25 as C7
from ...
This calculation is occurring for each row that is returned.
Numeric subtraction, as in 10 - 4 = 6

Can this loop be done in sql ?
Dim ID(0 TO 2) as string
Dim number as string
ID="01"
ID="02"
For each number in ID
SELECT data FROM sheet1 WHERE data= number
next number
datatable:
data
01
01
02
03
04
This can be done using the IN predicate:
SELECT data FROM sheet1 WHERE data IN(1, 2);

I tried to do this:
SELECT SUM(SUBTOTAL as TODAYSALES) FROM dbo.SALESORD_HDR where ORDERDATE >=41187
But the browser throws an exception about the sum function saying 'SUM' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Any ideas?
Doing a
SELECT SUM(SUBTOTAL) as TODAYSALES FROM ...
would work a lot better.
Your syntax seems off. It should be SELECT SUM(SUBTOTAL) AS TODAYSALES FROM dbo.SALESORD_HDR where ORDERDATE >= 41187
Aliases must be defined outside the expression they are targeting:
SELECT SUM(SUBTOTAL) as TODAYSALES FROM dbo.SALESORD_HDR where ORDERDATE >=41187

I want to add 2 hours to the result of getdate() in SQL SERVER. I know that I can add one day with:
select getdate() + 1
But how is this done when wanting to add on hours onto getdate()?
select dateadd(hour,2,getdate())
Select GETDATE() + (Convert(float,2)/Convert(float,24))
OR in other way
Select DateAdd(HH,2,Getdate())

What formula would I use in a persisted column so that I can add the two columns below together, the first must be padded to 5 characters:
ID (INT)
RefNum (STRING)
I went for format(ID,"00000") & RefNum, but it doesn't work, any ideas please?
You could use something like this:
ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable
ADD FormattedColumn AS RIGHT('00000' + CAST(ID AS VARCHAR(5)), 5) + RefNum PERSISTED
Basically, convert the ID to a VARCHAR(5), prepend it with 00000 and then grab the five right-most characters.
SELECT RIGHT('00000' + CAST(ID AS VARCHAR(5)), 5) + RefNum
