@Startvalue is int

How do I convert the following to nvarchar?

@StartValue + Row_number() over (order by (select 1))

if you want values to be appended

CAST(@StartValue AS nvarchar(10)) + CAST(ROW_NUMBER() over (order by (select 1)) AS varchar(5))

If your @startvalue is for example 10, and you want to get 11,12,13 etc. do this:

CAST(@StartValue + Row_number() over (order by (select 1)) AS NVARCHAR(5));


If your @startvalue is for example 10, and you want to get 101,102,...109,1010,1011 etc., do this:

CAST(@StartValue AS NVARCHAR(5)) + CAST(Row_number() over (order by (select 1)) AS NVARCHAR(5));

Because they sound like numbers, you don't need to convert them to nvarchar

What if requirement was appending rather than integer addition?


Unless OP posts sample data and expected output we cant determine what exactly the intended result is..
