I am struggling with a common error... We are trying to capture several variants of string results and convert them to a single text word 'Negative'
,(CASE WHEN max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) like '%not%detected%'
**OR max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) like '%Non%Detected%%'**
OR max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) like '%n%ive%'
OR max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) like '%<%'
OR max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) = 'N'
OR max(MR_RNATest.OBSVALUE) LIKE '%ND%'
THEN 'Negative'....
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'HCV Non Detected ' to data type int.
I've reviewed multiple topics online but I couldn't understand how to adapt them to fit my case when statement. Please help :)
Thanks!

I searched stackoverflow and on the internet but I could not find the exact answer. You can see my query below. I cannot figure out why I am getting the error message A character string failed conversion to a numeric value. I came to the conclusion it is that line of code because when I comment it out I don't get that error message but a different one. What I get instead is no more spool space which to me would make sense.
SELECT a.store_nbr AS club_number, a.visit_date, count(transaction_id)
FROM table_one
WHERE division = 1
AND a.visit_date BETWEEN '2020-01-01' AND '2020-02-01
In data lake I have file names with pattern yyyyMM_data.csv. Now I want to read previous 3 days data. I am using below code -
DECLARE #ReportDate DateTime= DateTime.Parse("05/08/2017");
DECLARE #FeatureSummaryInput string=#"/FolderPath/{InputFileDate:yyyy}{InputFileDate:MM}_data.csv";
#FeaturedUsed =
EXTRACT Id string,InputFileDate DateTime
FROM #FeatureSummaryInput
USING Extractors.Csv(silent : true, skipFirstNRows : 1);
#FeaturedUsed=
SELECT *
FROM #FeaturedUsed
WHERE InputFileDate BETWEEN #ReportDate.AddDays(-3) AND #ReportDate;
If I run above code it runs with empty input. Please let me know if I am missing something. Why it is not reading correct file?
It seems like we need to must have "day" in file name pattern to work this.
Possibly I am missing something but, as you cast InputFileDate to DateTime it defaults to the first of the month, as no day is specified. For your test ReportDate set to 05/08/2017, your WHERE clause basically evaluates to Between 2017-08-02 And 2017-08-05, which will never be true.
Where do you expect the day element to come in with your files structured as yyyyMM?
I need to convert a string formatted as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI plus AM/PM, but can't find a complete reference to the format string to find how to specify the AM/PM part.
I would certainly appreciate information on how to do this, but would appreciate a link to a good source of documentation for this even more.
:EDIT
SELECT top 1
v.CalendarDateTime
,TO_TIMESTAMP(v.CalendarDateTime,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM') as CalendarDateTimeTS
--,CAST(TO_TIMESTAMP(v.CalendarDateTime,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM') AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYBHH:MIBT') AS CalendarDateTimeTS2
12/03/2015 03:00AM 12/3/2015 03:00:00.000000
The commented out line produces a "DateTime field overflow" error.
You probably want TO_TIMESTAMP instead of TO_DATE.
The only bad thing about the Oracle function is the resulting datatype of TIMESTAMP(6) which can't be changed:
TO_TIMESTAMP('12/03/2015 03:00AM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM')
Using Teradata's FORMAT you can specify the timestamp precision, but it's less flexible than Oracle's, the string must match the format exactly:
CAST('12/03/2015 03:00AM' AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYbHH:MIT')
On the Teradata site you'll find the (slow) online docu, e.g. TO_DATE formats or Teradata FORMATs. Of course you should download the full documentation CD for your release.
Please tell us at least which programming language are you using.
Normally it would be something like "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI a" but we need to know first you language.
I´m new to MDX and I have a simple question. I work with the TFS Cube it is named as Team System. My problem:
I have an IIF expression where I want to check additional my expression with an AND operator. There I want to compare two DateTime objects. The report should only show me the data from the actual date. Here my code:
IIF(ISEMPTY(SUM(YTD(
[Work Item].[PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember),
[Measures].[EffectivelyValue]))
AND[Work Item].[PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember < Now()
, [Measures].[EffectivelyValue]
, SUM(YTD(
[Work Item].[PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember),
[Measures].[EffectivelyValue]) )
Planned Week is a self created field which has the DateTime datatype. The Now() function has also a DateTime datatype so the comparision should be right but it happens nothing.
Thanking you in anticipation
Eugen
Hierarchy members in MDX have a data type of 'member', and do not have a 'primitive' data type like datetime, string, or integer. Only member properties have 'primitive' data types. You could either define a property like datetime of your week attribute. Assuming you are SQL Server Analysis Services, this would be done via relationships.
Or you could use string operations to extract the date information from the UniqueName property which avoids having to change the cube. The UniqueName contains the data that you defined as the key in your cube design. Assuming your week hierarchy members have a key from which you can extract something like 20130820 for August 20, 3013 via string functions (I just will use Mid(, 30, 8) as an example below), you could do something like
CLng(Mid([Work Item].[PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember.UniqueName, 30, 8))
<
CLng(Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd"))
You will have to check what exactly the CurrentMember.UniqueName shows in your cube to adapt the above code.
And finally, you could of course also use string methods to extract the relevant parts from the UniqueName and then the CDate function on that to compare to an unchanged Now(), i. e. do all operations on the left side of the <.
Hello thank you very much for you answer. I tried:
Mid([Work Item].[xxxx_PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember.UniqueName,58,10)
shows e.g. 2013-07-21, 2013-07-28 (it shows the week endings)
so I tried this:
AND CLng(Mid([Work Item].[xxxx_PlannedWeek__HierarchyByWeek].CurrentMember.UniqueName,58,10))
<CLng(Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd"))
But it happens nothing. If I execute it in a single way it shows everywhere "true". But I have datasets with dates which are e.g. > 2013-08-23. So there should be false values too.
EDIT: OK I solved the problem. The
Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd")
must be
Format(Now(), "yyyy-MM-dd")
I am trying to write a custom report in Spiceworks, which uses SQLite queries. This report will fetch me hard drive serial numbers that are unfortunately stored in a few different ways depending on what version of Windows and WMI were on the machine.
Three common examples (which are enough to get to the actual question) are as follows:
Actual serial number: 5VG95AZF
Hexadecimal string with leading spaces: 2020202057202d44585730354341543934383433
Hexadecimal string with leading zeroes: 3030303030303030313131343330423137454342
The two hex strings are further complicated in that even after they are converted to ASCII representation, each pair of numbers are actually backwards. Here is an example:
3030303030303030313131343330423137454342 evaluates to 00000000111430B17ECB
However, the actual serial number on that hard drive is 1141031BE7BC, without leading zeroes and with the bytes swapped around. According to other questions and answers I have read on this site, this has to do with the "endianness" of the data.
My temporary query so far looks something like this (shortened to only the pertinent section):
SELECT pd.model as HDModel,
CASE
WHEN pd.serial like "30303030%" THEN
cast(('X''' || pd.serial || '''') as TEXT)
WHEN pd.serial like "202020%" THEN
LTRIM(X'2020202057202d44585730354341543934383433')
ELSE
pd.serial
END as HDSerial
The result of that query is something like this:
HDModel HDSerial
----------------- -------------------------------------------
Normal Serial 5VG95AZF
202020% test case W -DXW05CAT94843
303030% test case X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342'
This shows that the X'....' notation style does convert into the correct (but backwards) result of W -DXW05CAT94843 when given a fully literal number (the 202020% line). However, I need to find a way to do the same thing to the actual data in the column, pd.serial, and I can't find a way.
My initial thought was that if I could build a string representation of the X'...' notation, then perhaps cast() would evaluate it. But as you can see, that just ends up spitting out X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342' instead of the expected 00000000111430B17ECB. This means the concatenation is working correctly, but I can't find a way to evaluate it as hex the same was as in the manual test case.
I have been googling all morning to see if there is just some syntax I am missing, but the closest I have come is this concatenation using the || operator.
EDIT: Ultimately I just want to be able to have a simple case statement in my query like this:
SELECT pd.model as HDModel,
CASE
WHEN pd.serial like "30303030%" THEN
LTRIM(X'pd.serial')
WHEN pd.serial like "202020%" THEN
LTRIM(X'pd.serial')
ELSE
pd.serial
END as HDSerial
But because pd.serial gets wrapped in single quotes, it is taken as a literal string instead of taken as the data contained in that column. My hope was/is that there is just a character or operator I need to specify, like X'$pd.serial' or something.
END EDIT
If I can get past this first hurdle, my next task will be to try and remove the leading zeroes (the way LTRIM eats the leading spaces) and reverse the bytes, but to be honest, I would be content even if that part isn't possible because it wouldn't be hard to post-process this report in Excel to do that.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! It would obviously be much easier if I was using PHP or something else to do this processing, but because I am trying to have it be an embedded report in Spiceworks, I have to do this all in a single SQLite query.
X'...' is the binary representation in sqlite. If the values are string, you can just use them as such.
This should be a start:
sqlite> select X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342';
00000000111430B17ECB
sqlite> select ltrim(X'3030303030303030313131343330423137454342','0');
111430B17ECB
I hope this puts you on the right path.
