Conversion failed when converting the varchar value to data type int.

Can someone please tell me why I keep getting --
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '06/22/2008' to data type int.
The insert_timestamp and status_timestamp are all datetime

Datepart formula requires a date as a parameter, yours is varchar. Try this

SELECT INSERTDATETIME
, CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(dy,Cast(INSERTDATETIME, Datetime))/2 AS FLOAT) = CAST(DATEPART(dy,Cast(INSERTDATETIME, Datetime)) AS FLOAT)/2 then 1 else 0 end as EVEN_IND
, SUM(NEW_COUNT) AS NEW_COUNT
, SUM(CLOSED_COUNT) AS CLOSED_COUNT
, SUM(NEW_COUNT) -  SUM(CLOSED_COUNT) as DIFFERENCE
FROM (
 
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),INSERT_TIMESTAMP,101) AS INSERTDATETIME
	, CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(dy,INSERT_TIMESTAMP)/2 AS FLOAT) = CAST(DATEPART(dy,INSERT_TIMESTAMP) AS FLOAT)/2 then 1 else 0 end as EVEN_IND

Correction:

Still looking for what is causing the error as it is usually where there is a concatenation of data where one side is a number and SQL thinks you want to add instead of just joining the strings. Firstly though, see if it is because you have the formula on outer query that is unnecessary since you already calculated in the derived table.

SELECT INSERTDATETIME
, EVEN_IND
, SUM(NEW_COUNT) AS NEW_COUNT
, SUM(CLOSED_COUNT) AS CLOSED_COUNT
, SUM(NEW_COUNT) -  SUM(CLOSED_COUNT) as DIFFERENCE

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),INSERT_TIMESTAMP,101) AS INSERTDATETIME
        , CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(dy,INSERT_TIMESTAMP)/2 AS FLOAT) = CAST(DATEPART(dy,INSERT_TIMESTAMP) AS FLOAT)/2 then 1 else 0 end as EVEN_IND
        , SUM(TOTAL_COUNT) AS NEW_COUNT
        , 0 AS CLOSED_COUNT
        , 0 AS DIFFERENCE
FROM SAMPLEDB

Thanks guys for the quick response. I have tried both versions and still get the same error. Each of my outer queries run fine by themselves. It's when I add the first select statement that causes the error.

Kevin Cross

Did you try my suggestion here as that is what I suspected:

Thanks. Okay this is what I did. I made the change in ID: 24767727 above as follows and now it works.:

But now how can I make the columns line up so that it shows the correct difference.

Here is what it looks like now.

SELECT  '00000000000' AS INSERTDATETIME
	, 0 AS EVEN_IND
	, 0 AS NEW_COUNT
	, 0 AS CLOSED_COUNT
	,SUM(TOTAL_COUNT) - SUM(CASE WHEN STATUS NOT IN ('A', 'E', 'N', 'H', 'U') THEN TOTAL_COUNT ELSE 0 END) as DIFFERENCE
FROM SAMPLEDB
GROUP BY CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),STATUS_TIMESTAMP,101),
         CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(dy,Cast(STATUS_TIMESTAMP as Datetime))/2 AS FLOAT) = CAST(DATEPART(dy,Cast(STATUS_TIMESTAMP as Datetime)) AS FLOAT)/2 then 1 else 0 end
