asked on Query Syntax in SSMS
I have a query I am trying to write and I have a couple of issues retrieving data:
Issue #1: I am trying to return the right 2 characters in a field that appears to be left justified. The field is a combined 'CITY ST' with a space delimiter before the 2 character state. I obviously cannot determine precisely where in that 50 character, left justified field the actual 2 characters will be.
Issue #2: I am trying to write an expression that I did have working in an Access database (I am trying to move my queries to management studio). The query in Access was:
Round([PER_DIEM_INT]+(Roun
error: Implicit conversion from data type datetime to float is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

Paul...with the 2 "ROUND" statements there was a missing argument for one of them.
St. Jimbo...the RTRIM statement worked perfectly...your "wild guess" was spot on with one exception, it was day not days.

See my last post for response on solutions.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
ROUND( [PER_DIEM_INT] + ROUND( DATEDIFF(day,PER_DIEM_DATE
Think you need to use DATEDIFF() this returns an integer number of the units (I chose day as the unit)
Issue #1. Are you saying the state isn't always at the last 2 chars at the right?
