Concatination Of Empty Field And Removal Of Symbols
Mar 21, 2006
Hello...
I am going crazy trying to figure out how to do this. I have a flat file which I am massaging the data and loading into a table here is an example of a line out of the flat file:
"ABC NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS","550","","","N","FAIR OAKS","","","COLORADO SPRINGS","C0","","","","","","","","A","","",""
My problem is that I have one field which is this address in a concatinated form. The fields that do not apply to this entry are suite#, floor# and other columns which are designated by the "" characters. The final concatinated addres field looks like this:
"550""""N""FAIR OAKS"""
I would like to remove the "" characters in the concatinated string. I just don't know the best way to do this? I was told DTS had a way of removing the "" from the flat file source. Since I have not used DTS extensively I am not sure if this is true. I was wondering how in SSIS I could go about removing the "" marks without removing the "" say if someone is quoted eg. John said "This is only a test". Removing the quotation marks in this instance would be changing the data. I am not sure how to do this and any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you...

So I have an MDX query in an SSRS data set. Here is my MDX query:
Code SnippetSELECT { [Measures].[Gross Sales Amount USD], [Measures].[Net Sales Amount USD] } ON COLUMNS, { ([Promotion].[Media Property].[Promo Code Description].ALLMEMBERS) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@BeginDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@EndDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@PromotionMediaProperty, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Net Sales]))))) WHERE ( [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40], [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise], [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
This query returns 4 fields. Media Property, Promo Code Description, Gross Sales, and Net Sales. For the given query the measures are empty or null. I do not want any data to show up when the measures are null so I put in NON EMPTY clauses before the COLUMNS and before the ROWS. So now my query looks like this: (I only added the NON EMPTY clauses)
Code Snippet
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Gross Sales Amount USD], [Measures].[Net Sales Amount USD] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY{ ([Promotion].[Media Property].[Promo Code Description].ALLMEMBERS) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@BeginDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@EndDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@PromotionMediaProperty, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Net Sales]))))) WHERE ( [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40], [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise], [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Adding the NON EMPTY returns nothing... not even field names. This is a problem because, I have a table in the report that looks at this data set and when there are no fields, the report can't run.
How can I still have NON EMPTY functionality and still show the fields? Is this a problem in SSRS?

I have a query in SSIS which works fine.
SELECT SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 7, 2) AS EXP3, SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 5, 2) AS EXPR1, SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 1, 4) AS EXPR2
FROM WAITLIST
results
20
12
1948
07
09
1982
29
07
1960
However, when I try to concatinate, it falls over
SELECT SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 7, 2) + '/' + SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 5, 2) + '/' + SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 1, 4) AS EXPR2
FROM WAITLIST
The syntax works ok on SQL Server query, but not in SSIS.
(Reading from Oracle, number 19481220, an is varchar2)
Select will work with pipes (as in oracle) but it must be of the form | | '/' | |
that is
SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 7, 2) | | '/' | | SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 5, 2) | | '/' | | SUBSTR(DOB_CHAR, 1, 4) AS EXP2
I would like to know if this is correct, or is it because I am reading from Oracle?
I do get an error message in query builder, but the query then runs as required.
Error in list of function arguments: '|' not recognized.
Error in list of function arguments: ',' not recognized.
Error in list of function arguments: ')' not recognized.
Unable to parse query text.
Any views?

I have a need to query some data and string all my results by id. I am fairly close to the results but stuck on the final piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the scenario: My data looks as follows:
UserID
Results
1095
,,,,,,,
1095
,,,,,8,,
1095
,,,,,,,
1095
,,,,,8,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
I want to query it and end up with the results all strung together under each UserID as follows:
1095
,,,,,,,,,,,,8,,,,,,,,,,,,,,8,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,
4069
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,
I know if I use the following code I can string all the results together
select *, Cast((SELECT Results + ',' FROM #temp1 FOR XML PATH('')) as varchar(max) ) as Results from #temp1
But I can't figure out how to break it down by individual UserID. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
