Format Number
I am doing some simple arithmatic for a query that I am working on. What I have below describes the arithmatic that is taking place withing a portion of the query: select(o.sales_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Price', (o.acctng_cost_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Cost' from opcsahf as o go The division is correct. My only issue is that the results for 'Unit Price' or 'Unit Cost' may be formatted like example: 4.25000000. How can I have my nubers show up with only to 2 decimal places instead of all the zeros at teh end?

Format Number
I need to change a number that looks like 1365 and make it look like 1,365 without any decimal or trailing zeros. Then number can even be a 7 digit number. It seems like the only way I know is the money to varchar conversion using style 1, but this adds trailing zeros and a decimal point. Can anyone help on this Thanks, Hemal

Number Format
In the report Layout, if I right-click a cell that is located in the table details row, click Properties, and select the Format tab, there is an option for the Format code. I click on the little dot-dot-dot icon (...) and it brings up the Choose Format option. The choices are Default, Number, Date, Time, Percentage, and Currency. The format that I am interested in is Number, so I click on Number. Now, it shows '1234' ; '1,234.00' ; '1234' ; '1234.00' ; and finally '1.234123e+003'. The choice that I am looking for (or desire) is something that would show 9,452 and that is it. No decimals, but want the comma. I do not see an option for this. The option '1,234.00' has decimals. The two options '1234' and '1234' appear to not have decimals, but they do not appear to have commas either. Further, what is the difference between the first '1234' and the second '1234'? *** Also, I have a couple formulas that I have entered. I have tried to change the Number Format for these cells in the table details row and nothing changes. Still the same format.

Number Are Displayed In The Wrong Format
HiI'm not sure if this is a .net or a SQL issue. My development machine is using SQL 2005 while the live server is SQL2000. I have a smallmoney field in the database for holding a house rent. The following is used to display the contents on the page<asp:Label ID="lblrent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("rent", "(0:0.00)") %>'></asp:Label>In development, the number is displayed correctly, with the decimal place, .e.g. 200.50 but on the live server the number is displayed as 20050,00. What I have noticed in the database is that the number is held differentlySQL 2005 - 200.5000SQL 2000 - 20050Is there a difference between SQL 2000 and 2005? How do I get around this problem?

Limitations In Term Of Number Of Tasks And Number Of Columns
Hi, I am currently designing a SSIS package to integrate data into a data warehouse fact table. This fact table has about 70 columns among which 17 are foreign keys for dimension tables. To insert data in that table, I have to make several transformations and lookups. Given the fact that the lookups I have to make are a little complicated, I have about 70 tasks in my Data Flow. I know it's a lot, but I can't find a way to make it simpler. It seems I really need all these tasks. Now, the problem is that every new action I try to make on the package takes a lot of time. At design time, everything is very slow. My processor is eavily loaded each time I change a single setting in one of the tasks, and executing the package in debug mode takes for ages. If I take a look at the size of my package file on disk, it's more than 3MB. Hence my question : Are there any limitations in terms of number of columns or number of tasks that can be processed within a Data Flow ? If not, then do you have any idea why it's so slow ? Thanks in advance for any answer.

Displaying Extra Characters With COLUMN-defined Number Format?
Here's a tricky SQL question that has definitely driven me to the end ofmy rope. I'm using Oracle 9i and I need to perform some simplemultiplication on a field and then display it with a percent sign usingthe COLUMN command. Here's the code thus far:COLUMN price format 9,999.99 HEADING 'Charged%'SELECT pricecharged * .231 as priceFROM VT_examdetailThe output from this reads:Charged%---------23.1034.6534.65....The kicker here is that I need to add a percent sign to the right of theoutput, so that it reads:Charged%---------23.10%34.65%34.65%....I thought I could do this by just adding "|| ('%')" into the SELECTstatement, but when I do this the decimal position defined in the COLUMNcommand is lost. Does anyone know another way around this?Thanks,Alex

Conditional Number Format On Specific Matrix Column Group
I'll try to make this simple. I'm on SSRS 2005 and I have a report with a matrix object that has one row group and one column group. I need to switch the number format only for values where the column group has a specific value. For example, here are the records in the table: Customer, Type, Amount Customer1, Revenue, -100 Customer2, Cost, 60 Customer1, Revenue, -200 Customer2, Cost, 125 By default the matrix object shows the following (the total comes from the standard subtotal on the column group): Revenue Cost Total Customer1 -100 60 -40 Customer2 -200 125 -75 But the users need the report to look like this, with all positives (why, oh why?! ): Revenue Cost Total Customer1 100 60 40 Customer2 200 125 75 I was able to use the inscope function to switch the signs of the Total numbers. But now I need to switch the signs of the Revenue column from negative to positive (and vice versa), without affecting the signs of the Cost column. It's strange to me because I CAN switch the signs for a specific row group (changing Customer1's number format, without affecting Customer2's format) using something like this: =iif(Fields!Customer.Value = "Customer1", "($#,###.#0); $#,###.#0", "$#,###.#0; ($#,###.#0)") But a similar expression specifying a column group value does not work, because the report seemingly doesn't recognize the value of the column group at all no matter what I do: =iif(Fields!Type.Value = "Revenue", "($#,###.#0); $#,###.#0", "$#,###.#0; ($#,###.#0)") The other reason why this is strange is that I've done drill-through reports off of matrix objects where specific column group values (the ones clicked on) can be passed into the drill-through report parameters. So it recognizes the column group values upon drill-through, but not for formatting? How else can I do this? I must be missing something here. Thanks.

Textbox - Number Format Leads To Mysterious Leading Bracket
A report is picking up some values from the body and displaying them in text boxes within the Page Header, via the ReportItems collection. The text boxes within the body have their format specified as #,###; (#,###) - so displaying negative values within brackets. If the following value is set for the Page Header text box: ="My Value" & " " & ReportItems!variance.Value the value displayed is, for example: (My Value (1,123 Hence the requested trailing bracket has been swapped to become a leading bracket. Whatever I've tried I cannot get the bracket in the correct place. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug?

Export To Excel - Formatting Number Output
Hi all, Once again, SSIS is giving me a 'F.U.N.' time (ask for definition of the F.U.N. acronym another time ). I have a relatively simple task - create an excel spreadsheet with 3 columns of data - Id, Description and Sales. ID and Description are text, sales is int. So my SP aggregates and creates my resultset in my OLE DB Source in the Data Flow. It proceeds to the Excel destination, and that all seems fine. My issue is that the data is being written as text. Looking at the excel destination in Advanced editor: the Excel Destination Input, Input columns are formatted as I expected: DT_WSTR 8 for the ID, DT_WSTR 100 for the Description and DT_I4 for the Sales. Excel Destination Input, External columns refuse to fall in line, though. They are all listed as DT_WSTR 255. The target excel spreadsheet is being created from a template file. That template file has header columns. The target column for the Sales has the entire column formatted to NUMBER (0 decimals). Yet to now avail. When I check the spreadsheet, the column has retained the cell formatting, and I have a 'I' pop-up to inform me that 'someone' has inserted text data into the number column (even though the data IS number). Since the SP spits out INT, it isn't a case of receiving a text value, imho. While trying to change the external column data type in the advanced editor, SSIS is quite happy to let me change the value for the Sales output to DT_I4, apply, and ok. Then, when I open it immedaitely aftgerwards, it has reverted to the DT_WSTR's! AArrgh. If is can't handle it, at least tell me when I try and change it. don't let me change it, and then revert back without telling me! Grumble grumble... So - anyone know a way around this?

Importing Excel Sheet Which Have Dynamic Column Name And Dynamic Number Of Columns
Hi Craig/Kamal, I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be very informative. Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find relevant information. We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc. And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user. I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic Number of columns. Your help in this respect is highly appreciated! Thanks, Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful. Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using. I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 Thanks Craig Guyer SQL Server Reporting Services

DTS Export To Excel (How To Format Results In Excel)
Hi All I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers. I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output. Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ? His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc). In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped. Thanks GW
