Hide 2 columns in results view

  • SQL 2005

    I have 2 columns (rate and QTY) that I use to create a total column. How can I display just the total column in my results view?

    Thank you

  • What are you doing now to show the results view? If you write a query in a query window, you can select the columns you want to show and leave out the columns you don't want to see.

    My guess is you are using the Open Table/View functionality - which you really should not do since it is broken and has been removed from SSMS 2008.

  • here is the part of the script that I am trying:

    when I run the script and view the results in the view grid I would like to only see "Budget Amount" but im not sure how to restrict what show in the view. I currently see Itemprice, Budgetquantity and Budget Amount

    (ri.itemprice*riq.budgetquantity)as 'Budget Amount'

    Thank you

  • It might be as simple as removing the columns from the SELECT list.:-)

    (If I read your question properly).

    The code would help.

  • How are you showing the results view? Is that in some application that you have, or is this in SSMS? If this is in SSMS - and you are right-clicking and selecting open I suggest that you don't access the view this way.

    You should open a new query window and type in the following:

    SELECT {list of columns you want to see}

    FROM YourView

    WHERE {some filtering criteria to limit the data returned}
