SQL-Server-2008

I've got the following code:

SQL

INSERT INTO [ALFA].[dbo].[tblSalesOrders]
 ([strSalesOrderNo], [SalesOrderNo], [LineNo], [OrderedItem], [SO_Quantity], 
 [SO_SellingPrice], [SO_SellingValue], [PONumber], [PO_UnitPrice], [PO_CostValue], 
 [PO_ReceiptDate]) 

  VALUES
  ('21700' ,21,700.00 ,1.00 ,'ADE-8002' ,1.00 ,143.79 ,143.79 ,28623 ,108.79 ,108.79
   ,Convert(DateTime,15/01/2013   1:39:36PM,103))

and I keep getting the following error

There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

It looks like [strSalesOrderNo], should be removed from your INSERT statement.

Yes.

[strSalesOrderNo],   '21700' ,                                       
[SalesOrderNo],       21,                                             
[LineNo],             700.00 ,                                        
[OrderedItem],        1.00 ,                                          
[SO_Quantity],        'ADE-8002' ,                                    
[SO_SellingPrice],    1.00 ,                                          
[SO_SellingValue],    143.79 ,                                        
[PONumber],           143.79 ,                                        
[PO_UnitPrice],       28623 ,                                         
[PO_CostValue],       108.79 ,                                        
[PO_ReceiptDate])     108.79 ,                                        
                      Convert(DateTime,15/01/2013   1:39:36PM,103))

Probably, you want to dump the comma indicating thousands in the second value!

Another issue is that the date and time value is without (') sign:

SQL

Convert(DateTime,15/01/2013   1:39:36PM,103))

It should be:

SQL

Convert(DateTime,'15/01/2013   1:39:36PM',103))

Solution 1

You've only defined 11 column names, but you've defined 12 values to be inserted. You need one column name.

The problem is this:
21,700.00

You can't use "," as thousands separator. You need to write 21700.00
