Hello expert,
Using this sql statement datepart (week, '2005-01-01') returns 1 for week 1, I would like to return in this way:
00
01
02

.
51
Could anybody help me to get the result in 2 digits?
Thanks

Hi,

SELECT RIGHT('0' + CAST(datepart (week, '2005-01-01') AS VARCHAR(2)),2)

should work. I'm just putting a zero in front and then take 2 places from the right.

Select Replicate('0',2-Len(datepart (week, '2005-01-09'))) + Cast(datepart (week, '2005-01-09') as varchar(10)) as DOW

Sorry, I overlooked that you want to start with week 0, so just substract 1 from the datepart result.

SELECT RIGHT('0' + CAST((datepart (week, '2005-01-01') - 1) AS VARCHAR(2)),2)

Hope that helps,

Steffen.

If you want it that way, then you will have to loose the INT data-type and your string will be of VARCHAR..
