Error: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.

  • I don't mean to offend anyone but...

    Why does everyone insist on putting this check in the WHERE clause? It's messy and a Where clause usually complains when you try and come back with multiple values (or multiple columns) in the sub-Select.

    Do a regular inner join. It's simpler and probably more quick. BTW, since an alias isn't used on the outer "UserName" column, I guessed which table it came from. Change it if it's wrong.

    Select bg.BusinessGroup, pme.EmployeeName, pme.ReportingTo, pme.Location,

    t1.LogDate as LastLoginDate

    From tbl_pm_employee pme

    Inner join tbl_CNF_BusinessGroups bg

    on bg.BusinessGroupID=pme.BusinessGroupID

    Inner Join tbl_PM_location pml

    on pml.locationid=mpe.locationid

    Inner Join (Select UserName, max(Logdate) As LogDate

    from tbl_PBN_debugging

    group by UserName

    Having DATEDIFF(dd, MAX(Logdate), GETDATE()) >= 90) t1

    on pme.UserName = t1.UserName

  • Actually, it occurs to me to wonder if you have a link in some other table from UserID to UserName?

    If UserName is not in any of the three tables you're joining to originally, but UserID is, and there's another table that associates UserID to UserName, you'll need to add that table to your query so you can properly reach the logging table.
