Transact SQL :: How To Multiply Against A Negative Value
Jun 11, 2015
what am I doing wrong here? I can multipley * 1.25, but not -1.25. Every google entry I find is how to convert positive to negative numbers... I want to use update to multiply and lower the price by 25% (I used the function a bit to liberally to multiply by 125% and now want to bring the values down to earth)
update production.product set listprice = (listprice * -1.25)
select max(listprice) from production.product
select cast( 0.0050000000 as decimal(38,23)) * cast(0.0000010000 as decimal(38,23)) select cast( 0.0050000000 as decimal(28,23)) * cast(0.0000010000 as decimal(28,23)) select cast( 0.01 as decimal(28,15)) * cast(0.0000000001 as decimal(28,15)) select cast( 0.01 as decimal(28,16)) * cast(0.0000000001 as decimal(28,16))
The result was following:
0.0000000--was zero 0.000000005000000000000000000 0.00000000000--was zero 0.0000000000010
I am looking for a way to get the PRODUCT of all columns and group by M_DOMA, [FROM] - Basically multiply all columns on the row that are not M_DOMA or [FROM].
I need to return the previous row value if it is negative in current row. For example, in the below table for ID=7 i need the value 1305(ID=4) since 6,5 are negative values.
Hello, I have a quick question. I'm currently using MS SQL 2005.
I have a main table which has many fields. I created a view#1 which imports all the rows from the main table but I only select the "City" field, "PurchaseDescription" field and a "Cost" field. Only the city name is unique. There are a total of 50 different city names, and each name can have more than one "PurchaseDescription" each with an associated "Cost". I would like to create a second view#2 with an added field called "Cost2". I want "Cost2" to contain the same value as the "Cost" value. However if the "PurchaseDescription" equals to "USB" then "Cost2" should be assigned the value of "Cost" multiplied by -1. If the "PurchaseDescription" content isn't equal to "USB" then "Cost2" will have the save value as "Cost".
For example,
The view#1 will have the following rows & fields (I had to pad the field with dots just to make the output look viewable on this thread)
In derived fields, I need to multiply numbers from 2 fields. Assume that I need to multiply numbers from field B and field C. Although, B is found by COUNT (field A). So, I do the following: B*AltName of A. It gives me an error. Thank you for any help!
I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.
There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :
SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName
This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.
I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.
I have this case where I need to multiply the value of my dataset and finally deduce one to it. For instance if I have a dataset with three values, 2, 5, 15, I need to end up with a value of 150 (2*5*15). How can I achieve this?
SELECT EmployeeId, PiecemealType,SUM(PiecemealQty) /100 AS TotalTrays, ActivityId FROM SR.dbo.PayTrays WHERE WorkDate > '2012-01-01' AND WorkDate < '2012-12-31' GROUP BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType, ActivityId ORDER BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType
PiecemealType is the type of tray 1= 15 Items per tray 2= 12 Items per tray 3= 8 Items per tray 4= 6 Items per tray
I'm trying to work out a bonus for 1 cent per item worked. The divide by 100 moves the total from cent to dollar and the SUM is adding all weekly values together.I just need to work out how to multiply the the SUM value for trays by the 4 different PiecemealType values. If it was static i could just add *15 to my SUM.
Need to multiply the following by 12 then divide this by 52.
,COALESCE(CTAX.[NET-AMT],0)+COALESCE(HEAT.[NET-AMT],0)+COALESCE(FURNIT.[NET-AMT],0)+COALESCE(SERVCH.[NET-AMT],0)+COALESCE(SEWER.[NET-AMT],0)+COALESCE(WATER.[NET-AMT],0) as 'weekly rent'Everywhere
Dear Readers, Is it possible to create a query that access multiple sql express databases? Or is it possible to link a table in one database from another?
calculating profit... how do I write an update query that will correct the gross profit calculated column for all negative qty transactions
Basically in the stored procedure that creates the table the query includes:
Profit = CASE Sale WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE (Sale - Cost) END, which is wrong when sale and cost is negative the formula becomes (-Sale + Cost).... I want it to be -(Sale-Cost) (where sale any cost ignores negative sign.....
I have the following query, I would like to know if I can replace negative values with a zero and if a posiive value appears then leave the value alone?
I have a very peculiar issue going on. I have a table that contains a decimal(18,2) column called "Amount". Looking at this table through Enterprise Mgr, I can see that there are values in there that are negative. However, when I run a query in Query Analyzer, it displays all the negative values as positives.
The only workaround I've found right now is to change the column type to "real" and then change it back to decimal(18,2), and it starts showing the negatives as negative. However, without performing this absurd workaround, it doesn't work.
Is there a known bug in QA that would manifest itself as this? What is the cause for this?
I'm a newbie when it comes to using SS7. When I try to insert a negative number (-1) into a integer column, the value is changed to 65535. How can overcome this problem?
Ok, I have a new one. Several of my devices are showing with negative sizes when viewed in edit in enterprise manager. I cannot edit them as the change now button is grayed-out. Oddly enough they are all located on the same drive. The master (on C drive), and the tempdb (on D drive) both show as the default device. I am very confused. User access to the information is fine. What gives?
SQL Enterprise manager is reporting my database device size to be a negative number. Primarily, this is the case for the log files, but also occurs on a few of the .dat files.
Is there a correction? Is this a display error, or an actual size conflict/
I wrote simple script to check space used by tables:
CREATE TABLE #SpaceUsed( TableName NVARCHAR(128), NoOfRows INT, Reserved NVARCHAR(18), Data NVARCHAR(18), Index_Size NVARCHAR(18), Unused NVARCHAR(18) ) GO sp_msforeachtable "INSERT INTO #SpaceUsed EXEC sp_spaceused '?'"
SELECT * FROM #SpaceUsed
SELECT CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Reserved,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalReserved, CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Data,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalData, CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Index_Size,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalIndex_Size, CAST(Sum(CAST(Replace(Unused,' KB','') AS INT)) AS NVARCHAR) + ' KB' AS TotalUnused FROM #SpaceUsed
I am using a select statement to obtain a result set back with aggregateddata. The problem is that I am seeing column data with 11 to 13 digitsafter the decimal point. I tried using the STR function, but then the OrderBy clause does not sort properly because there are negative numbers in theaggregated data... I tried using Round, but that does no good either - itstill ends up displaying too many digits after the decimal point. Right nowI'm just using Query Analyzer to display the data, so I can live with it fornow. But, in the future, my app will be getting a result set back and Iwould prefer not to have to go through each row and do a round on it fromthe program. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thanks for any help,Bob
I'm personally in favor of using the SQL CLR where appropriate, although I'm wondering what the negative consequences of enabling SQL CLR might be? Its disabled by default within SQL Server 2005 and most likely 2008, so what was the reason behind this ... beyond the fear of the DBA enabling something he might not himself fully understand.
