| I have a SQL statement that currently reads:(CASE CLOSEDATETIME WHEN '1899-12-30' THEN NULL ELSE (CAST(DATEPART(mm,CLOSEDATETIME) as VARCHAR)+'/'+ CAST(DATEPART(dd,CLOSEDATETIME) as VARCHAR)+'/'+ CAST(DATEPART(yyyy,CLOSEDATETIME)as VARCHAR)) END) AS TicketCloseDate,I this is what is currently being used to get date/time values from a View that has been created. The view is being pulled into Excel and I have run into a Date/Time math problem and I am using formulas in Excel to make up the difference. One of the formulas I am using looks like this:=IF(ISBLANK(Table_SQL01_databasename_TicketStatistics[[#This Row],[HistoryFirstResponse]]),0,(Table_SQL01_databasename_TicketStatistics[[#This Row],[HistoryFirstResponse]]- What I need is a statement I can put into the SQL View Query to give that information without rewriting a formula in Excel to format the Date/Time. |

Sorry but I can't see any relation between the posted formula and that part of sql statement.I can see your sql gives NULL or 9/17/2009 as TicketCloseDate but what is the problem?

| Basically when I see the spreadsheet in Excel I would like the SQL Query to be able to pull only the Date or only the Time from the database without any additional formatting such as:(CAST(DATEPART(mm,CLOSEDATETIME) as VARCHAR)+'/'+Trying to eliminate the CAST and VARCHAR to make the information show correctly in Excel without a formula. |

| I am just trying to eliminate the need for the formula in Excel and just have the information displayed straight from the query. As it stands now, the formula's are a separate piece, while related to the query, not pulled from the query. |
