SQL Server

Hi, can someone help please? I have a list like the one below that got multiple cost for different activities within a row and would like to get the sum of the total cost of those multiple activities using SQL Server.
create table #Temp (id int, Rate nvarchar(500), Value_Expected int)
insert into #Temp values
('1', '1 x E1 (L),As above (E1) but xyz (inflated rate),5.77 6 x E10(L),As above (E10) but xyz (vvv rate),1.235 1 x E11(L),As above (E11) but xyz (vvv rate),0.93',14.11),
('2', '1 x E1,"xyz, new spur, xyz/water/xyz (if required), xyz (xyz)",4.67 1 x E10,Day rate per hour,1 ',5.67),
('3', '1 x E1,"z, z, z gas/water/z (if required), z (z)",4.67 1 x E6b,z (z)11 - 20m,2 1 x E6c,z (z) 21 - 30m,3 1 x E7b,xyz (z)11 - 20m,2 1 x E8,z,0.5 2 x E10,z,1 1 x E11,z,0.75',6.34)

select * from #Temp

drop table #Temp

Looking at row 1 for instance the expected total result should be 14.11 after addition and multiplication.

"1 x E1 (L) - 5.77
6 x E10(L) - 1.235
1 x E11(L) - 0.93"
Thanks in advance

what is E1 (L), E10 (L) and E11 (L)??

this might give you a start :-

hi

i was able to use user defined function to split the string into small pieces

from this we have to ...find before x one and identify and multiply value ..
seems complicated ..

simple cursor .. character by character LOOP of string .. with logic ... if then else ..
will do it
i think ...

please click arrow to the left for UDF and SQL ...
drop function [dbo].[fn_split_string_to_column]
go 

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_split_string_to_column] (
    @string NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @delimiter CHAR(1)
    )
RETURNS @out_put TABLE (
    [column_id] INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [value] NVARCHAR(MAX)
    )
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @value NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @pos INT = 0,
        @len INT = 0

    SET @string = CASE 
            WHEN RIGHT(@string, 1) != @delimiter
                THEN @string + @delimiter
            ELSE @string
            END

    WHILE CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @string, @pos + 1) > 0
    BEGIN
        SET @len = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @string, @pos + 1) - @pos
        SET @value = SUBSTRING(@string, @pos, @len)

        INSERT INTO @out_put ([value])
        SELECT LTRIM(RTRIM(@value)) AS [column]

        SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @string, @pos + @len) + 1
    END

    RETURN
END
GO 

;with cte as 
(
select rate ,value 
from Temp  cross apply [dbo].[fn_split_string_to_column](rate,' ')
)
select a.Rate,b.value from cte  a cross  apply [dbo].[fn_split_string_to_column](value,',')  b

Wow! This's great. Let me try it. Thank you very much

Thanks a lot. Let me try it

You are right.
Data not in a properly machine-readable format. I'm only new in the company.
Thanks

please click arrow to the left for Drop CREATE Data
drop table Temp 
go 

create table Temp (id int, Rate nvarchar(500), Value_Expected int)
go 

insert into Temp values

Here's the cursor .. going though character by character ...

declare @string varchar(500) = '' ,  @i int , @Cursor as CURSOR; 
set  @Cursor = cursor for select rate from temp 
open @Cursor; FETCH NEXT FROM @Cursor INTO @string

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
	BEGIN
			select @i = 0
				while @i < len(@string)
					begin
						select @i = @i + 1
						select  substring(@string, @i, 1)
					end 
		FETCH NEXT FROM @Cursor INTO @string
	END

CLOSE @Cursor;
DEALLOCATE @Cursor;

Thought I'd go whole-hawg on this one for a little fun.

First, here's the data from the OP's original post with one little change to test for quantities that had more than 1 digit.

create table #Temp (id int, Rate nvarchar(500), Value_Expected DECIMAL(9,4))
insert into #Temp values
('1', '1 x E1 (L),As above (E1) but xyz (inflated rate),5.77 6 x E10(L),As above (E10) but xyz (vvv rate),1.235 1 x E11(L),As above (E11) but xyz (vvv rate),0.93',14.11),
('2', '1 x E1,"xyz, new spur, xyz/water/xyz (if required), xyz (xyz)",4.67 1 x E10,Day rate per hour,1 ',5.67),
('3', '1 x E1,"z, z, z gas/water/z (if required), z (z)",4.67 1 x E6b,z (z)11 - 20m,2 13 x E6c,z (z) 21 - 30m,3 1 x E7b,xyz (z)11 - 20m,2 1 x E8,z,0.5 2 x E10,z,1 1 x E11,z,0.75',6.34)
--                                                                                    ^^ Changed above to 13
;

The following code converts the train-wreck of data found in the Rate column to a "manifest" of separate items by ID, breaks out the quantity and unit price, calculates the extended price and subtotals of the extended price by ID as well as a grand total. Of course, since some form of splitting was involved, I used a function that takes the place of a Tally table to avoid all the Scalar functions, Cursors, While loops, and other forms of RBAR.

WITH 
 cteRevRate AS  (--===== Reverse the string so we can find the only common pattern in the string.
                 SELECT  ID, RevRate = REVERSE(RTRIM(Rate)), LenRate = LEN(RTRIM(Rate)) FROM #Temp
                )

                 SELECT  ID
                        ,Delimit = t.N+4+ABS(CHARINDEX(' ',SUBSTRING(RevRate,t.N+4,10))-1)

                  CROSS APPLY fnTally(1,LenRate) t
                  WHERE SUBSTRING(RevRate,t.N,5) LIKE 'E x [0-9]' --The Common Pattern
                )

                                    ,Delimit-LAG(Delimit,1,1) OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY Delimit)+1))
                   FROM cteDelimit
                )

                 SELECT  ID, String, Details = REVERSE(String)

                )

                        ,UnitPrice = CONVERT(DECIMAL(9,2),REVERSE(LEFT(String,CHARINDEX(',',String)-1)))
                   FROM cteDryStr
                )

                         WHEN GROUPING(UnitPrice) = 0 THEN Details
                         WHEN GROUPING(ID)        = 1 THEN '** Grand Total'
                         WHEN GROUPING(Details)   = 1 THEN '* Sub-Total for ID'
                         END
        ,Quantity      = CASE WHEN GROUPING(UnitPrice) = 0 THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),Quantity)  ELSE '----------' END
        ,UnitPrice     = CASE WHEN GROUPING(UnitPrice) = 0 THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),UnitPrice) ELSE '----------'  END
        ,ExtendedPrice = SUM(CONVERT(DECIMAL(9,2),Quantity*UnitPrice))
   FROM cteDryCalcs
  GROUP BY ID, Details, Quantity, UnitPrice WITH ROLLUP
 HAVING GROUPING(UnitPrice) = 0 --The HAVING limits the output to only detail lines, subtotals, and the grand total
     OR GROUPING(Details)   = 1
;

Here's what the output looks like...

Last but not least, here's where to get the script for the fnTally function. If you don't have one of those in your tool box, you're missing the proverbial "Swiss Army Knife of SQL" to avoid cursors, while loops, Recursive CTEs, and other forms of RBAR.

Here's the original article I wrote about the Tally Table.

You are not using delimitedsplit2k?!?!?!
dbo.DelimitedSplit8K

@harishgg1,

Just as a suggestion, you should look up "DelimitedSplit8k" and "DelimitedSplitN4k" so that you can avoid slow splitter functions in the future. Any function that has BEGIN or uses a Recursive CTE in it is going to be slow.

Here's the link for the original article on the subject.

A good friend of mine made a mode for people that use SQL Server 2012 or better... it's now almost as fast as a CLR. Here's the link...

No. And its DelimitedSplit8K. DelimitedSplit8K splits on a single character and there's no need to bust up each string at the word level in this case especially since we'd just have to put it back together again.but that would prevent us from making the itemized list that I did.

Sir Jeff, by the way dbo.DelimitedSplit8K is not friendly to non Roman scripts

I don't know what you mean by "non Roman scripts". Please explain.

N'α‰ α‹¨αŒŠα‹œα‹,αŠ₯α‹«α‹°αˆ¨αŒαŠ•,α‹«αˆˆαŠα‹,αŠ₯α‹΅αŒˆα‰΅' because varchar in function..I suspect

So have you tried the DelimitedSplitN4K function from the same article?
