Calculate Hours And Minutes

Nov 6, 2006

Hi
Can anyone help me convert a number to give the result in hours and minutes? For example 195 as 3:15 or 210 as 3:30. We are trying to create a report showing hours and minutes worked without having to export to Excel.

I've had a look around the net and this seems to be quite a difficult function in SQL Server.

Any guidance much appreciated.

TimeAttributeType Error When Add Hours, Minutes And Seconds

May 26, 2008

In BIDS, I created a time dimension using the wizard. Unfortunately, the template used by the wizard does not contain Hours, Minutes and Seconds; so, I added them using the designer. Now, when I try to build, deploy and process I get the error: Unable to find matching TimeAttributeType. Cannot anyone explain why this is happening and what can be done about? Is there a template available somewhere that does create time dimensions with time and not just dates?

Returning Time Difference As Days/ Hours/ Minutes

Sep 16, 2005

I have written a function that returns the number of Days, Hours and minutes from a given number of minutes. On testinf the results are close but not quite there. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong or is there an easier way of doing this? Code is as follows:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTimeBetweenLong

RETURNS VarChar(50) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @TotalTime Numeric
DECLARE @Minutes Numeric
DECLARE @Hours Numeric
DECLARE @Days Numeric
DECLARE @MinutesInDays Numeric

IF @EndTime IS NULL
BEGIN
SET @Days = DATEDIFF(Day, @StartTime, @CurrentDate)
SET @Hours = DATEDIFF(Hour, @StartTime, @CurrentDate) - (@Days * 24)
SET @Minutes = DATEDIFF(Minute, @StartTime, @CurrentDate) - ((@Days * 24)*60) - (@Hours * 60)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Days = DATEDIFF(Day, @StartTime, @EndTime)
SET @Hours = DATEDIFF(Hour, @StartTime, @EndTime) - (@Days * 24)
SET @Minutes = DATEDIFF(Minute, @StartTime, @EndTime) - ((@Days * 24)*60) - (@Hours * 60)
END

IF(@Days <0)
BEGIN
SET @Days = @Days - @Days - @Days
END

IF (@Hours < 0)
BEGIN
SET @Hours = @Hours - @Hours - @Hours
END

IF (@Minutes <0)
BEGIN
SET @Minutes = @Minutes - @Minutes - @Minutes
END

RETURN CONVERT(nVarChar(10),@Days) + ' Days, ' + CONVERT(nVarChar(5), @Hours) + ' Hours, ' + CONVERT(nVarCHar(5), @Minutes) + ' Mins'

Reporting Services Formatting Fields From Whole Minutes To Hours

Jun 6, 2007

Dear All,

I have a problem formatting a field in Reporting Services (minutes to hours).

I have a field called duration which stores time in whole minutes only. I can format this into hours within mssql using the following:

cast(sn.duration/60 as varchar(5)) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + cast(sn.duration%60 as varchar(2)), 2)

But I need to have totals and average columns in my report, which means that the data must come through to RS in the minutes format so I can perform the calculations there.

I have the first part (I think!!):

=string.format("{0:0}",Fields!SalesTime.Value / 60) + ":"

But I cannot get the minutes part working!



Any help would be gratefully received.

In What Sql Server Data Type Would You Store Security Ids?

Nov 5, 2007

security ids seem to be made up of at least 3 32 bit unsigned numbers and a few smaller numbers. We believe their lengths vary. We dont mind dropping the "S" from the front. What data type do you recommend be used for their storage? We expect only limited joins and user visibility on this column. We may wish to create an index on this column. We think varchar and varbinary are the two major choices.
