Hello I'm trying to write a SQL Statement along the lines of....
SELECT stringField + ' : ' + STR(decimalField) AS myField FROM tablename WHERE myCondition = myValue
Where stringField is a String field and decimalField is a Decimal Field in my Table.
In this statement it converts the decimal field to a string value so that it doesn't throw a conversion error but unfortunatly it seems to round up the value to an integer value and cuts off all my decimal places.
I have a field in my SQL Server 2005 database of type numeric(18,3)In code, I treat the value as decimalWhen creating my command parameters, this is how I'm declaring them:prm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Decimal;prm.Precision = (byte)int.Parse("18");prm.Size = int.Parse("0");prm.Scale = (byte)int.Parse("3");Inserting a number like 5.687 is rounding to 6.000 anyone know why it is doing that?
Hi, I have a decimal field in SQL Server 2000 which has a precision value of 3 and scale 1. I will be storing values ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 in there. However, in my asp.net web form, if I select the value 2.5 from the DropDownList, SQL Server stores it as 3. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and give me some pointers on what I can do to fix it? Your help is much appreciated.
I have a problem with SQL rounding my decimals up when I pull them from a temp table that has the column set as VARCHAR. What is happening is I am pulling the info from a flat file but each column has "" around each field so I must make the temp table columns all VARCHAR so I may pull the info from the file properly. So after the info has been extracted, I run an update statement on the temp table to remove all quotes. Once this is done, the revised info is inserted into a staging table and any field that is a represented as a decimal is labled as such in the staging table.
What I am running into is when the info is inserted into the staging table, the decimals are rounded up to whole values. The column has been checked to verify that it is indeed a decimal. I even have a CAST statement in the insert hoping to combat the rounding issue, but it is not helping.
So what reason(s) would my decimals be rounding up?
DECLARE @MyPay decimal(5,9); SET @MyPay = 258.235543210; SELECT CAST(@MyPay AS decimal(5,2))
This is what the resultset is currently with the code above:
258.24
I would like to Not have the value round up. I would like to always show only the first two digits to the right of the decimal and not perform any rounding.
My code is rounding my values incorrectly and I'm not sure why. In this example, the numerator is 48 and the denominator is 49 which is .9795 but my SQL is producing 97.0. I would like to result to be 97.9
CONVERT(decimal(4,1), (SUM(CASE Score_CorrectID WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE Score_MiniMiranda WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE Score_RepAssistance WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END+ CASE Score_Tone WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE Score_Consol_Default WHEN 'OK' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) * 100) / SUM(CASE WHEN Score_CorrectID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END + CASE WHEN Score_MiniMiranda IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END + CASE WHEN Score_RepAssistance IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END+ CASE WHEN Score_Tone IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END + CASE WHEN Score_Consol_Default IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END)) AS Avg_Percent_Actions
I'm trying to update a decimal field with a single decimal number (1.8) the problem i'm having, is that it's rounding the number up (2). I would've thought that a decimal datatype would keep the decimal places correct?
This is quite annoying.. I've been searching around the web for an answer.. To no avail (I'm probably asking the wrong question)
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I have a question about rounding and converting to percentage and adding in the '%'..This is my original code
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT Baby, CAST( CAST( SUM(TotalBaby) AS DECIMAL )/ CAST( SUM(TotalParent) AS DECIMAL) AS DECIMAL(10,4)) as BabyValue FROM NewBorn WHERE Category = 'Boy'
[code]....
But I also need my data to have the '%' and it should have 2 decimal place which is as below, I have tried to make it this way
CAST( CAST( SUM(TotalBaby) AS DECIMAL )/ CAST( SUM(TotalParent) AS DECIMAL) AS DECIMAL(10,4)) * 100 + '%' as BabyValue
But it prompt me the error 'Error converting data type varchar to numeric.'
This UDF will strip off the time portion of a DateTime. It can give you either midnight last night, or midnight tonight.
Lets say you have two datetime values @dateStart and @dateEnd, and you want to select records between these dates (excluding any time portion), then you would do:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateTimeColumn >= dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(@dateStart, 0) AND MyDateTimeColumn < dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(@dateEnd, 1)
If you want to display dates, without the time, then do:
SELECT dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(MyDateColumn, 0) AS [My Date] FROM MyTable
-- PRINT 'Create function kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound' GO IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound]') AND xtype IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF')) DROP FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound ( @dtDatedatetime,-- Date Value to adjust @intRoundint-- 0=Round down [Midnight last night], 1=Round up [Midnight tonight] ) RETURNS datetime /* WITH ENCRYPTION */ AS /* * kk_fn_UTIL_DateRoundConvert date to midnight tonight *For a "limit" date of '01-Jan-2000' the test needs to be *MyColumn < '02-Jan-2000' *to catch any item with a time during 1st Jan * *SELECTdbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(GetDate(), 0)-- Midnight last night *SELECTdbo.kk_fn_UTIL_DateRound(GetDate(), 1)-- Midnight tonight * * Returns: * * datetime * * HISTORY: * * 28-Jul-2005 KBM Started */ BEGIN

Hi all,I have a column LateHours (Varchar). I want to put it in another table which has Latehours column in Decimal(4,2) Example = +04:33 Should be 4.33 (Only + values) Char to Decimal (4,2) Please Help me,Thanks,Janaka
I'm trying to insert into a table from an XML file. The mapping works OK however there is a problem with one of the fields. It is field name "Length" set up as Decimal(18,2) and it stops on the first row with an error, something like "Cannot convert to decimal". The values are all integers, such as "9", etc. but I presumed SQL would convert to "9.00" for example. It has worked for another field name "Weight", where values are stored in the XML file such as "0.28", etc. Does it reject it because it's an integer and needs to be to two decimal format in the XML?
Hello, is there a way to convert the value to just 2 decimal places, I created the report in Reporting Services and it has quite a few digits to each value. I looked at the table and found that the data type is {Float}. Is there a way to convert the values to just 2 decimal places?..Thank You.
Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

Using SQL 2000 I have data in a sql table that is store in varchar like below
5.00 15.00 9.00
The integer part will never be bigger than 20. I need to move it to another SQL table that is char(5). I need the results that go in that table to like like below
05.00 15.00 09.00 I looked at the replace and cast but couldn't get the results. Any better approaches? Thanks
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.
eg of values.
10.00 20.00 0.00 15.00
or could be missing when I use cast(value as float) or cast(value as decimal(9,2)) or convert(float, value) I get an error
Hello,I'm trying to decifer the data in the table that stores the data in thebinary format. All numbers are placed in varbinary fields.

problem is that the data I am trying to insert is of the type nvarchar. eg: 06.50 I need it to be converted to type decimal (or float) before it is inserted in the new table.
Is there a way to do this within the SELECT TOP expression?

I'm trying to move records from a SQL table with a float column to a DB2 database that has the column defined as Decimal (8,2) It keeps crashing saying it has a type mismatch problem. I tried changing my source command to pass in the column already converted and it still crashes on this. I also tried doing a data conversion task to do the conversion and I still get the same error. Any ideas?
