Report Builder and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. Syntax. Countexpression, scope, recursive. ParametersexpressionVariant or Binary The expression on which to perform the aggregation, for example, Fields Field. Name. Value. String The name of a dataset, group, or data region that contains the report items to which to apply the aggregate function. If scope is not specified, the current scope is used. Microsoft Access Dcount Function ExampleEnumerated Type Optional. Simple default or Rdl. Recursive. Specifies whether to perform the aggregation recursively. Return Type Returns an Integer. The value of scope must be a string constant and cannot be an expression. For outer aggregates or aggregates that do not specify other aggregates, scope must refer to the current scope or a containing scope. For aggregates of aggregates, nested aggregates can specify a child scope. Expression can contain calls to nested aggregate functions with the following exceptions and conditions Scope for nested aggregates must be the same as, or contained by, the scope of the outer aggregate. For all distinct scopes in the expression, one scope must be in a child relationship to all other scopes. Scope for nested aggregates cannot be the name of a dataset. Expression must not contain First, Last, Previous, or Running. Value functions. Expression must not contain nested aggregates that specify recursive.

For more information about recursive aggregates, see Creating Recursive Hierarchy Groups Report Builder and SSRS. Example Description The following code example shows an expression that calculates the number of non null values of Size for the default scope and for a parent group scope. The expression is added to a cell in a row that belongs to the child group Groupby. Subcategory. The parent group is Groupby. Category. The expression displays the results for Groupby. Subcategory the default scope and then for Groupby. Category the parent group scope. Note Expressions should not contain actual carriage returns and line breaks these are included in the example to support documentation renderers.

The Format Function in SQL Server 2. Database. Journal. Folks with a programming background use some kind of function or module to format the output of dates, numbers or text. The only formatting capabilities that SQL Server has had until now was the CAST and CONVERT function. Some programmers write user defined functions for dates as shown in Formatted date in SQL Server 2. The long wait for this format function is over. The new SQL Server 2. RC0 is leveraging the. NET format capabilities by introducing the FORMAT function. In this article, I am going to explore and illustrate the features of the FORMAT function. The function FORMAT accepts 3 parameters. The first parameter is the VALUE parameter where you pass the date value or numeric value. The second parameter is the. NET Framework format string. The format parameter is case sensitive. D doesnt mean the same as d. The third parameter is the culture. This can be any culture supported by the. NET Framework. Formatting the DATELet us see some examples with DATE as the value by changing the format. Example 1 To display weekday date name, month name and the day with year, you could use the following DECLAREdate. DATETIME1. 22. SELECTFORMATdate,D,en USASFormatted. Date Result Wednesday, December 2. Example 2 To display only the month name and day, you could use the following example. DECLAREdate. DATETIME1. SELECTFORMATdate,m,en USASFormatted. Date Result December 2. Example 3. To display long date and time use the following example. DECLAREdate. DATETIMEgetdate SELECTFORMATdate,yyyyMMdd hh mm ss tt,en USASFormatted. Date Result 2. 01. PMNote tt stands for two letter representation of AMPM and the result will be AM or PM. If you use a single t the t stands for the one letter representation of AMPM and the result will be A or P representing the AM and PM respectively. Example DECLAREdate. DATETIMEconvertdatetime,2. SELECTFORMATdate,yyyyMMdd hh mm ss t,en USASFormatted. Date Result. Formatted. Date. 20. 110. 10. ADECLAREdate. DATETIMEconvertdatetime,2. SELECTFORMATdate,yyyyMMdd hh mm ss t,en USASFormatted. Date Result. Formatted. Date. 20. 110. 10. PDECLAREdate. DATETIMEconvertdatetime,2. SELECTFORMATdate,yyyyMMdd hh mm ss tt,en USASFormatted. Date Result. Formatted. Date. 20. 110. 10. AMDECLAREdate. DATETIMEconvertdatetime,2. SELECTFORMATdate,yyyyMMdd hh mm ss tt,en USASFormatted. Date Result. Formatted. Date. 20. 110. 10. PMExample 4 The following example displays the time. DECLAREdate. DATETIMEgetdate SELECTFORMATdate,h m ss. USASFormatted. Date Result 1. Note ffffff represents the millionths of a second. Reference. The format string for the date value can be a standard date format or a custom date format or even a custom time span formatting. Now lets use the same date values and change the culture value parameter. For example, if I want to display the Date name, Month name and the day in different culture format the culture format is very useful. Example 1 This example displays the date in Taiwan format. Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters. DECLAREdate. DATETIME1. SELECTFORMATdate,MMMM dddd d,zh TWASFormatted. Date Result Example. This example displays the date using Tamil culture. DECLAREdate. DATETIME1. SELECTFORMATdate,MMMM dddd d,ta INASFormatted. Date Result. Note Please refer to the following links to learn more about the different language and culture usage. Formatting the NUMBERSLets see some of the numeric formats that we can display using the FORMAT function. Personally, I format numbers for currencies and number of decimal characters or for percentage. Here are some examples. To display the number with currency using locale, use the following example. Example 1 DECLAREmoneymoney1. SELECTFORMATmoney,CASMy. Money Result 1. Here, I am getting the currency symbol because my current locale language setting is en us. I could also display the currency explicitly by using the culture parameter as shown below. DECLAREmoneymoney1. SELECTFORMATmoney,C,en US ASMy. Money Example 2 If I change the culture parameter to Tamil culture, the FORMAT function will automatically change the currency to the Tamil currency Indian Rupee in Tamil language pronounced Roopai. You can also see the separator is placed differently. DECLAREmoneymoney1. SELECTFORMATmoney,C,ta INASMy. Money Result 1,2. Example 3 If I change the culture parameter to Taiwan culture, the FORMAT function will automatically change the currency to NT meaning New Taiwan dollar. DECLAREmoneymoney1. SELECTFORMATmoney,C,zh TWASMy. Money Result NT1. Example 4 I could also change my language setting first and display the currency as shown below. DECLAREmoneymoney1. SELECTFORMATmoney,CASMy. Money Result1. 25,0. Example 5 The following example displays the number in percentage. DECLAREnumbigint 5. SELECTFORMATnum,0. ASMy. Money Result 5. Some other examples of using the format function are listed below. These are self explanatory. Example set 1 SELECTFormat1. Returns 1,2. 22. SELECTFormat3. 45. Returns 3. 45. 9. SELECTFormat1. 5,0. Returns 1. 50. 0. Example set 2. DECLAREdatedatetimegetdateSELECT Formatdate,h m s Returns 1 1. SELECTFormatdate,hh mm ss tt Returns 0. AM. SELECTFormatdate,dddd, MMM d yyyy Returns Thursday, Dec 2. Example Set 3 SELECT Formatgetdate,Mdyyyy H mm tt,en US Returns 1. AMSELECT Formatgetdate,Mdyyyy H mm tt zzz,en US 1. AM 0. 5 0. 0Conclusion As mentioned in the beginning of this article, I have illustrated the various standard and custom formats of both DATE values and NUMERIC values using the new FORMAT function released in SQL Server 2. RC0. See all articles by MAK.
