  • RE: coalesce negative values

    Sign doesn't get him precisely what he's looking for, but it could probably be used. And it does reduce even further the typing required. 🙂

  • RE: looping sub query

    "Direction" isn't a type. It's a column with type Char(1), and a constraint to make sure it's only either "+", or "-".

  • RE: Selecting 12 months of data for utility bills

    from dbo.TradeDetails

    where TradeID = 1

    order by DetailDate

    or

    select...

  • RE: remove spaces more than double

    Do you want to update the table, or do you want to remove the spaces in a query?

    If it's columns in a table, then you can use Unpivot and either the sum() - sum(abs()) calculation, or the 0 > Any function. Either will work.

  • RE: looping sub query

    That would still work with a ledger type structure. It's just an easier data structure to deal with, and it will do what you need on that.
