I have come to this question and the one below several times.
how to call scalar function in sql server 2008
Each time, I try entering the Function using the syntax shown here in SQL Server Management Studio, or SSMS, to see the results, and each time I get the errors.
For me, that is because my result set is in tabular data format. Therefore, to see the results in SSMS, I have to call it like this:
SELECT * FROM dbo.Afisho_rankimin_TABLE(5);
I understand that the author's question involved a scalar function, so this answer is only to help others who come to StackOverflow often when they have a problem with a query (like me).
I hope this helps others.
