How To Format Cell / Data Apprearecnce Under A Table
Mar 27, 2007
Hello All,
I uploaded custtable under the database, the data looks fine except that the name that apprears has a lot of distance e.g
it should be :
firstname lastname however the format appears very strange:
firstname lastname
firstname lastname
fistname lastname
Same is the case with the address, I need to adjust or format the apperance that appears on the cell. Is there a way/ sql statement to format the data under the table so that the apprearence looks okay.
I will really appreciate any sort of help on this one.
Hi, I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I'm trying to use DTS to import data from an XLS into a SQL table.It works fine in that it INSERT's the data. However, I need it toUPDATE the table, based upon a ProjectID. Can this be done?Can a DTS package be fired from a SP using parameters?Eg UPDATE tProjects SET MyField1=XLS.Sheet1.CellA1,MyField2=XLS.Sheet2.CellA1 WHERE ProjectID = @ProjectID.Also, it must handle dynamic XLS file names, eg 981-Budget.xls,513-Budget.xls, xyz-Budget.xlsIs this the best way to go? Other suggestions most welcome?Thanks everyone in advance!
HI,I HAVE AN EXCEL SHEET WITH SOME DATA, I WANT TO IMPORT THAT DATA (CELLBY CELL WITH MANIPULATION) INTO THE SQL SERVER TABLES BY USING STOREDPROCEDURE(IF POSSIBLE).IF ANYBODY HAVE DONE SIMILER TYPE OF JOB OR KNOWING ABOUT IT, PLS. LETME KNOW.THANKS IN ADV.T.S.NEGI
I have a task where the source data is coming in via Excel. There is a field that contains a percentage (i.e. 100%, 90%, etc). When the connection is added to the data flow stream and is read, that column is coming in as a double precision float. The 100% is coing in as 1. I have tried going to the advanced editor and changing the column to a WSTR, but it is not having any effect. Short of having the sender change the file to a .csv (which will induce other problems I'll have to code out), how can I force the column format in an Excel connection?
I have a report where in I want to show each record on a separate page.
So, to achieve that I took a single cell from table control, expanded it and used all the controls in that single cell. This looks nice so far.
Now, I also have to show a sub grid on each record. So I took a table control and added on the same single cell and tried to add a parent group to the table row.
When I preview, it throws this error.
"The tablix has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members."
What am I doing wrong? How can I achieve table grouping inside a table cell?
Hi I am trying to export an table data to csv format. The problem here is the table columns are dynamic. The DTS exports only the columns available during the DTS design time and it ignores if any new columns are added after the design. I need solution for this asap. Thanks SqlJerin

I have several bcp output files I need to import into tables. I do not have format files for them. As far as I know they are in native format. I do not know the layout of the destination table they would populate.
1) how can I determine from the bcp file itself the schema of the destination table? Once I know that I should be able to import the data into the table.

A few months back i saw a sample rds file where there was a kind of line graph in a table cell that indicated how much percent a sales person had to the complete sale figure.
But i cannot find the link anymore.
I would like to have such a linge graph next to all my agents that indicates a value againts a total value.
Does anybody has any pointers where i could find that info ?
The result could be a password like "0l$IE" and I the save this password to an SQL server. The problem is however that with the generated password five blanks are also added. Instead of "0l$IE" I get "0l$IE ". I hope you understand what I mean? Is there an easy way to correct this?

This is embarasing.I'm creating a 500 line query from XML, CSV's, etc. and I can't fingure this out. I'm building a very complex "SELECT" query and then shoving it into the [Select] column in a SQL 2005 table. I want to call a stored procedure that just "executes" that query and returns the results....Any help would rock.
I am converting a site from asp to .net and the previus writer did something I never saw.(I am somewhat new to programming all together). He put multiple values in a single cell of the database. I have always learned to use a seperate column for each value. Is this a classic asp thing and there are better ways now? Or is this something I should do myself? The columns type is text and the contents look like this:<Details Expertise="bla bla" Description="We are a three-divisional company ...," WebSite="www.blabla.com" AccountLevel="Free" AccountStatus="Active" WorkHomeZIP="22222" ContractStartDate="01/01/2003" ContractEndDate="12/31/2003"><Address Location="Work" State="Oh" ZIP="22222"/><Email Location="Work" Value=""/><Phone Location="Fax" Code="9801" Ext=""/></Details>
Is it possible to stack two images on top of each other in a table ?
Let me clarify where i'm going to. I have a report where in one table i would like to display (in a graphical way) how much a sales person has sold towards the whole sales amount. To do so i would like to set my background of my cell to yellow and then use an image (just a green rectangle) where i adjust the padding according to the percentage. When i set my background to yellow and i insert my image in the cell, the textbox cell properties disapear and are replaced with the image properties. So also my background that was defined in my textbox is gone. Now i was thinking if i could set two images on top of each other (a yellow rectangle and a green rectangle). But when i do that, one image is replaced with another.
Am i doing something wrong or is there another way to achieve what i want to do?
Hello, I am haing a little trouble with send cell data from an Excel sheet to SQLEXPRESS and I'm sure that it is not that hard. Has anybody else come accross this. I have the code below, but it is not complete as I'm not sure what to do to complete it:
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
With rs ' Assign the Connection object. .ActiveConnection = cn ' Extract the required records. .Open "UPDATE tblData Set ID = ID, Name = Name" ' Copy the records into cell A1 on Sheet1. Sheet1.Range("A2, B2").CopyFromRecordset rs
' Tidy up .Close End With
cn.Close
End Sub
I know that it is not correct, but I am trying to convert a recordset query from SQL to Excel to Update Sql from Excel.
The cells from A2 down have an ID and cells from B2 down have a name.

Is there any way I can set the background colour for an image in a table cell (or even for a non-embedded image for that matter)? I always seem to get a white background.
Let me point out at the beginning that I don't have anyway to normalize this structure or get the admins to change the way the data is stored. We don't own the database where this is housed...we're just given the information via an .xls file...which we import to a SQLServer table.
I have some data that is given to me that has two columns (below is for an example): Column A is an identifiying number, i.e. for a project Column B is a comma separated list of account strings for the project
A sample layout of what we get via the .xls file might look like the following (Column A is to the left of the dashes, and Column B is to the right of the dashes):
What I need to do is now haveprojects listed out in Column A with each of it's account strings in Column B like so: AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 3333 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 4444 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 5555
I have an Excel 2007 file which contains values in specific cells like A23, D30 etc. I want to populate the values in these cells using SSIS packages into individual rows of an SQL table. How can this be achieved ?
