No, because UNIQUEIDENTIFIER is 128 bits whereas INT is only 32 bits, including the sign bit. What is your use case for needing to do this?

If you just need a map then you could set up a relationship table which contains your GUID and an identity column. Or add an identity column to your table which has the guid. This would allow a mapping but would not be a map to int that you could
perform via a calculation, you would have to look it up in the table.
What is the purpose of the requirement? Chuck Pedretti | Magenic North Region | magenic.com
