I want to replace the contents of a value column with itself but rounded to 2 decimal places.
The current column is a double and I have tried to perform this using the following expression but it fails to work.
Code Snippet
Round(cc_vl,2)
How should I achieve this?
What is the best way to force a 2 digit decimal place without rounding?
For example select price*UOM returns
47.1294
3.255
.5
8
.49
What i want to be returned is
47.12
3.25
8.00
.50
.49
Thanks,
Jim
Greetings, I am attempting to create a flat file delimited by |. I am using (ISNULL(LIN1_OPT_ADDR) ? "" : LIN1_OPT_ADDR + "| ") to replace the blank address column with the pipe delimiter. So that a row that would consist of:
Customer Number,Name,Address Line1,City,State
12345,ACE HARDWARE INC. ,801 Rockefeller St.,New York, New York
56789,BUILDING SUPPLY INC., ,Wichita, Kansas
Should end up as:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.||Wichita|Kansas
When I run the data flow to create the flat file the file contains the following:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.| | |Wichita|Kansas
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
I need to check if the date is Null then use today's date and if not do something else.
If RowModifiedOn IS NULL Then
GETUTCDATE()
ELSE
DATEADD("Hh",@[User::TimeZone],RowModifiedOn)
End If
What do I do wrong here? Can I do something like it?
RowModifiedOn == NULL ? GETUTCDATE() : DATEADD("Hh",@[User::TimeZone],RowModifiedOn)
Thanks.
The "window" if you call it that to enter in complex derived column logic is painful (at best). At a minimum, the entry line should (just like in the cases where SQL is entered into a ole db command, sql exec etc) open a editor window to allow you to work in something other than a single long line.
In addition, allowing for cr/lf in the text would then allow the text to be formated/indented in meaninful ways. The issue now, once you nest a few statements together, it get VERY confusing and not easy to read since the whole thing is required to be on a single line.
(This same issue exists with line in which you need to enter the text in a conditional split).
THANKS!

I'm having trouble coming up with a valid expression in my derived column transformation editor that tests the input column for NULL and responds something like this:
if[message] isNull then "NA" else [message]
where [message] is the input column.
Thanks!

HI, I was wondering if there is a possibility to use a confitional if like this:
IF(ISNULL(mycolumn value, "new value if null", mycolumnvalue)
into a derived column transform to infer a value to a null column value. I do know I can do it using a script component by it would be simpler to do by using an expression.
Thank you,

I am trying to put the following as an expression in the SSIS Derived Column Transformation Editor.
DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
It is not allowing it. This works fine in a regular SQL statement.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work?
Dear friends, can any one tell me how to assign null to the expression value in derived column transfromation editor?

Hello,
I understand that it is not possible to use PATINDEX in a Derived Column transform. I'm trying to eliminate leading zeros from a column where the string is always 14 characters long, but the first non zero character could occur any number of characters from the left of the string. The following achieves what I need:
substring([Account No w/0s], patindex('%[^0]%', [Account No w/0s]), 14) AS ExtractedAcctNo
Does anyone happen to know how I might express this differently in a Derived Column transform? Should I consider a calling a function through an OLE DB Command transform on each row instead? Maybe I should have a SQL Task that runs an UPDATE statement against the column.
Thank you for your help!

When data is imported from our legacy system, the same functions need to be applied to several columns on different tables. I want to build a kind of "Function Library", so that the functions I define can be re-used for columns in several packages.
The "Derived Column" transform seems ideal, if only I could add my list of user-defined functions to it. Basically I want to inherit from it, and add my own list of functions for the users to select.
Is this possible ?
What other approaches could I take to building about 30 re-usable functions?
i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help
Hi
I'm a relative SQL Server newbee and have developed a function that converts mm/dd/yyyy to yyy/mm/dd for use as in a DT_DBDATE format for insert into a column with smalldatatime.
I receive the following erros when using the function in the Derived Column Transformation Editor. First, the function, then the error when using it as the expression Derived Column Transformation Editor.
Can anyone explain how I can do this transformation work in this context or suggest a way either do the transformation easier or avoid it altogerher?
Thanks for the look see...

I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.
Hi,
Is there a way to truncate a number to a certain number of decimal places in the SSIS Derived Column component (similar to TRUNC in excel)?
Thanks!
We are importing Flat file data from our Mainframe system. We have a lot of money amounts coming in, but the mainframe does not store the decimals in the flat file. So for example a row in the file might look like this:
+0000007894-0000000563
Where the first value is $78.94 and the second value is -$5.63
Is there anyway to have the Flat file connection manager put in the decimal place for me, or do i have to create derived columns for each column and divide it by 100? There like 50-100 columns per file, so i'm looking for a better, quicker way.
Thanks in advance.

Okay I have a problem and I have no idea to do it. I need the SQL syntax to come up with this:
the formatting is messed up though
a query to display the department name, location name, number of employees, and the average salary for all employees in that department. Label the columns dname, loc, Number of People, and Salary, respectively. Round the average salary to two decimal places.

Hello all...
I am new to SQL 7, and am having trouble with the money and smallmoney data-types. When I pull data from these columns, it has four decimal places, and I need only two (four is screwing the perl code up). What do I do now?
All help much appreciated!
In MS SQL Server 2000 T-SQL, how can I always display 2 decimal places?
e.g.
I wish to display

Any help would be greatly appeciated.
Hi,
The underlying table for my fact contains a Sale field whose data type is decimal.
In the cube editor, I have tried a few options (both for Data Type and Display format) but in my front-end I am still getting the results with 2 decimal places.
Can someone kindly help me how I can get the results in a rounded form so that the decimal places are not shown e.g. instead of seeing 12,345,678.98 I want the results rounded as 12,345,679.
If (and i really hope not) it boils down to using MDX in the front end then can u kindly guide me since I can only spell MDX at the moment :(
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
I'm running the following query against a SQL Server 2003 database to receive the results below:

714 120
717 59.5
718 80
719 80
A colleague of mine, however, is running the same query against the same database (using a different machine) and gets the following results.
Pay Period Pay Hours
713 80
714 120
717 59.500000000000021
718 79.999999999999972

I am trying work out if certain columns in a database table have the "correct" data in them and work out the "percentage completeness" of the data...
So, I have been allocating a 1 if the data is complete and a 0 if it's not. Then adding up the results and dividing them by the number of results and multiplying them by 100 to get a percentage.
BUT - the answer always comes back as a whole number and I cannot work our why!
This is my sql:
SELECT Clients.ClientNumber_Legacy,
CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.ClientType_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.Title_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
(CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.ClientType_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) + (CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.Title_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) as total,

There's been several good posts on using the node description of a model as the end user description for a specific cluster. My model uses a number of continuous input columns defined as currency from a fact table in the source cube. After processing, the node description has elements that look like this:
-0.5799759795 <=Interest Expense <=0.8397462488 ,
Since the source data is currency, this makes the node description look a little strange. The data type in the model is set as double. The precision implied by the description is not what I want the model to consider. In the case above, the difference between the numbers listed is not significant.
It would be great to have a better node desciption that doesn't imply so much precision, but the bigger question is why does the cluster model turn currency types into doubles. Should I set the data type to long in the model so that cents are ignored? I know I should probably use discrete inputs, but I don't want to have to discretize the currency values in the cube since this would require me to set up fact dimensions for each currency column in the fact table.
Hello, is there a way to convert the value to just 2 decimal places, I created the report in Reporting Services and it has quite a few digits to each value. I looked at the table and found that the data type is {Float}. Is there a way to convert the values to just 2 decimal places?..Thank You.
