Preserve Leading And Trailing White Spaces On Report
Dec 27, 2007I spent huge amount of time figuring out how to preserve lading and trailing white spaces on report display without success. Can anyone help me here?
My problem is I have data with leading and or trailing white spaces and I need to show it as is. In designer preview it shows correct values. As soon as report is published and accessed on web, it truncates the whitespaces . I had a look at source, it shows values are correctly fetched(with spaces) but are ignored while rendering. I also tried replacing blank space with , however it reads this as  .
I am using asp.net 2.0 and SQL serer 2005 reporting services.
Using Query Parameter When Data Cell Has Leading Spaces
Feb 21, 2008
In SQL Reporting I want the user to pass a parameter to the report; the parameter is a employee number. Easy right, you write a where statement like where table_name.employee_number =@employee_number. When the user runs the report they€™re asked to type in the number.
My problem is the dB stores the employee number with leading spaces padding the number out to 9, so if the user types in 1 they get jack, but if they type in €˜ 1€™ they get the right employee. I can€™t roll it out that way
I€™d do something in the where clause so the user could just type in 1 & it would auto pad out to 9 spaces. I€™ve tried using the €˜LIKE€™ clause & I€™ve tried using concatenate but so far neither works well.
I'd appreciate any advice
Thanks -- Vince

Removing Spaces From A Text
Aug 31, 2006Hi. In our database, we have a Social Security Number field. We've made application upgrades and we can no longer have the dashes ( - ) between the numbers. So, I ran this update on our database to remove all the dashes. it did remove all the dashes except it put spaces in its spot:
UPDATE DefendantCase SET SSN = REPLACE(SSN, '-','')
so, i tried this query and it does nothing.
UPDATE DefendantCase SET SSN = REPLACE(SSN, ' ','')
does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
Reportviewer Removing Spaces
Oct 17, 2007Hi there,
I have a text box with the following expression:
="OEM Part Code" + " " + "Part Code" +" " + "Part Description"
As you can see, there is a lot of spaces in here. The reportviewer removes these spaces. so that it look like
OEM Part Code Part Code Part Description"
Instead of
OEM Part Code Part Code Part Description
Why is it doing this?
Can I stop it from doing this?

Removing Spaces Between Words In Sql
Mar 20, 2007I guess there is no built in functions to do this but I have a function that replaces anything that is not A-Z with a space and returns @data. What I additionally need the function to do is scrunch up @data (remove all blanks betwwen each word so that 'I ran very fast' would be 'Iranveryfast').
What I need help in doing is the "Scrunch" part. Is there a way I could move the @Data to something like @DataHold and inspect each character, if it is not a blank, move that character back to @Data?
This was pretty easy for me to do in C# with a while loop, but I do not know how to get it done in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks for any help!

Removing White Spaces In A Varchar Column
Sep 15, 2005I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad
View 3 Replies View RelatedIntegration Services :: SSIS Is Removing Leading Zeroes From 6 Character Time String?
May 29, 2015I am using SSIS 2012 SP1 to import a comma delimited csv file into a SQL table.
One of the fields carries a time value:
Source = textfile, column=DT_STR(8), value format = "hhmmss", e.g. "011525"
Destination = field in SQL table, data type = time(0)
To get it from the textfile to the SQL table I am:
1.) Creating a derived column called [d_Time of Entry]with the following formula -
SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],1,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],3,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],5,2)
2.) Performing a data conversion task to convert [d_Time of Entry] from DT_STR(8) to time(0) The upload fails because values that start with a zero, i.e. times before 10am, have their leading 0's stripped before being derived. You can see this because "011525" is derived as "11:52:5" when it should be "01:15:25".

Help With Leading Zero
Oct 3, 2005I am not a DBA whatsoever so please bear with me ...
There is an existing SQL table with 3 fields that are to gather numeric data:
Name - Data Type - Length
1. TPID1 - int - 4
2. TPID2 - int - 4
3. BPIN - int - 4
If any of the 3 above are submitted with a zero in front (input = 01234), the zero will not show. (output = 1234)
I thought if I changed Data Type to nvarchar, the data would be read just like text and appear as entered. (I reviewed other table designs and nvarchar is the data type for other similar data.) Saved the table changes and still the leading zero does not show.
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks

Aug 21, 2006Hi all,
Anyone know how to transfer data from 1 or 2 characters to 3 characters.
For example we have mpc_code in source as 1, 2, 3 then target need to be 001, 002 and 003.
Then if 12, 13 then change to 012, 013. Put zero as leading space.
Thanks.

Convert To Int But Add Leading 0
Jun 17, 2002I have some results data which looks like below
.00
.00
1.0
13.0
6.0
I need to push it into a table that accepts whole numbers. (none of the results actually will have a decimal like .05 or 1.5, all .00 will be 0)
What I need in the results is whole numbers, but if the results are 6.00 I need 06 to go into the table. I know a straight int convert will drop the decimals, and I could use a csae to set the .00 to 00, but what would be the best way to change the 6.00 to 06?

Brain is overloaded and I'm just not getting this! Ugh! I need a field that will be exported/displayed to contain 10 characters, no spaces. The field I'm extracting is 8 characters and the numerical data (int) is any range up to that. So I have 35795 and need it to be 0000035795 but I could also have a 1057893 and will need it to be 0001057893. I tried various forms of this...
Select '00' + Right (chk_no, 8)
and it's just not correct.
Anyone have a suggestion on what I'm not seeing?
TIA!

Adding Leading 00's
Mar 31, 2008Hiya all,
I have a linked table between SQL and BTrieve.
I have a column that returns 1 ,2 ,10 etc.
In Btrieve the datatype is numeric and 3 digits long.
But in SQL I want 001 , 002 ,010.
Anyone got some code to programatically add 00 if 1,2,3
or add o if 10,11 or add none if 100,101
I also tried casting as in CAST(table.ID AS NUMERIC(3,0)) as Del_ID,
but SQL still returns 1,2,10 and not 001,002,010
Add Leading Zero To Field Value Via SP

I want to add a leading zero to a field based on a param that I create on the fly in my stored proc. I have a @month which is created from my datetime param @date.
@Month needs to be char(2) but if the month is inputted as '04' I get '4 ' in the table (note the space after 4)
How can I add a leading zero to this field?
Set @Year = right('0',1)year(@Date) is spitting it's toys out.
