It is awesome. I converted the GUID column to varchar and it worked. Try it outcast(<GUIDColumn> as varchar(max)) IN (SELECT Item FROM dbo.udf_Split(@ParamVariable, ','))Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:43:45 GMTsivapragasam2000http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxThanks Sean,I've tried it a few ways casting as unique identifiers and varchars and none of them seem to be working. I was only playing round with the shorter values and forgot to edit them out of my post :w00t:I think I may be barking up the wrong tree with this solution anyway but I'll need to split the values out anyway so I'll read the split article shortly.edit: Thanks, you were all right. Apologies, it's a friday afternoon.RegardsFri, 28 Sep 2012 08:31:24 GMTQutiphttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxThe problem is because you have a list of numbers and you are trying to compare that to a uniqueidentifier.You insert this into a table.('101038, 101039, 101040, 101044')[code]INSERT INTO @Tmp (JobIds) SELECT CAST(Items AS VARCHAR(40)) FROM InterfaceSystem.dbo.fn_SplitString(@jobid,',')[/code]But then you try to find them in your table. Assuming itt_jobcodeid is a uniqueidentifier you are comparing apples to oranges here. It will attempt to cast your values to a uniqueidentifier and those are not valid values. [code]and i.itt_jobcodeid in (select JobIDs from @Tmp)[/code]As a side note, I would highly recommend reading the article linked in my signature about splitting strings. It will blow the doors off the while loop splitter.Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:20:47 GMTSean Langehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxHi,the datatype of the all of the id columns are uniqueidentifiers within the database. However these values are being passed to the SP from SSRS as a multi value parameter value. Hence the split function.I've tried casting the id's as uniqueidentifiers as seen below but with no luck.[code="sql"]DECLARE @dates VARCHAR(100) declare @jobid uniqueidentifier = ('d63b6001-59fd-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,a149467b-b9f5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,441ca81a-bdf5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,d28923b2-bcf5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d')DECLARE @Tmp TABLE(JobIDs VARCHAR(40)) INSERT INTO @Tmp (JobIds) SELECT CAST(Items AS uniqueidentifier) FROM InterfaceSystem.dbo.fn_SplitString(@jobid,',') SELECT @dates = COALESCE (@dates ,'') + CONVERT(VARCHAR(100),i.itt_appointmentdateandtime, 103) +',' FROM LibertyGasGroup_MSCRM.dbo.FilteredITT_instruction I WHERE i.itt_jobcodeid in (select JobIDs from @Tmp) AND (i.itt_outcome = 2) GROUP BY i.itt_appointmentdateandtime select distinct i.itt_outcome , j.itt_id , substring(@dates, 1, charindex(',', @dates)-1) as date1 , substring(@dates, 12, charindex(',', @dates)-1) as date2 , substring(@dates, 23, charindex(',', @dates)-1) as date3 , substring(@dates, 34, charindex(',', @dates)-1) as date4from LibertyGasGroup_MSCRM.dbo.FilteredITT_instruction i inner join LibertyGasGroup_MSCRM.dbo.FilteredITT_job j on j.ITT_jobId = i.itt_jobcodeid where (i.itt_outcome = 2) and i.itt_jobcodeid in (select JobIDs from @Tmp)[/code]I was playing round with the shorter values to see if that would make any difference.this is typically how the values would be passed back from SSRS'd63b6001-59fd-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,a149467b-b9f5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,441ca81a-bdf5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d,d28923b2-bcf5-e111-94eb-001517a81d9d'unless of course there is a better way to pass them through..?here's the split function[code="sql"]ALTER function [dbo].[fn_SplitString]( @String nvarchar(MAX), @Delimiter char(1)) Returns @Results Table (Items nvarchar(4000))AsBegin Declare @Index int Declare @Slice nvarchar(4000) Select @Index = 1 If @String Is NULL Return While @Index != 0 Begin Select @Index = CharIndex(@Delimiter, @String) If (@Index != 0) Select @Slice = left(@String, @Index - 1) else Select @Slice = @String Insert into @Results(Items) Values (@Slice) Select @String = right(@String, Len(@String) - @Index) If Len(@String) = 0 break EndReturnEnd[/code]thanks in advanceFri, 28 Sep 2012 07:59:29 GMTQutiphttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxWhat's the datatype of column [itt_jobcodeid], table [LibertyGasGroup_MSCRM].dbo.[FilteredITT_instruction]?Fri, 28 Sep 2012 07:38:14 GMTChrisM@Workhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxNot really enough here to help you out. At the very least, I'd need to see the definition of your split string function, and probably the table definitions.Fri, 28 Sep 2012 07:01:25 GMTGSquaredhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1365837-392-1.aspxHello I keep getting the above error when running this script. any ideas?
