Convert Float To Char
Aug 26, 2005
Select Cast('100.1234' as float)
give me the result 100.1234
Now when I convert it back to char I want exactly 100.1234
Select Convert(char(100),Cast('100.1234' as float))
Gives me 100.123 (Here I was expecting 100.1234)
When I do
Select STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,4)
I get back the result as 100.1234
However here I am not sure how many digits do I have after the decimal
point. If I put some value like
Select STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,8)
I get 0's appended to it, which is again not desired.
Thanks in advance,
Jai

Hi,
I receive blanks for a column called value and i need to represent it as a blank or NA into a colum whose datatype is float in the datawarehouse.
how is this possible because in current schenario a blank is being converted to 0
which is not the right thing.
i would like to retain the blank in conversion from char to float ,
please explain me if it can be done or how to overcome this issue.
Thanks

I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END
WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)
SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END
RETURNSIGN(@BigValue) * @Mantissa * POWER(CAST(2 AS FLOAT), @Exponent - 1023)
END
Thanks again Jeff!

Hi,
why does converting integer to float take so long? Its a column with about 5 Million rows.
I want to avoid cast(inumber1 as float) / cast(inmuber2 as float), thats why converting them. Queries should be a bit faster after that.. hope so :)
Thanks a lot

Hi -
My field TDMergerVotePercent is defined as a float field. I want it to return 'NA' when the value is -1 but I'm getting the error message
'Error converting data type varchar to float' in my aspx page. Is there where the CAST function can be used? Thanks
CASE
WHEN TDMergerVotePercent = -1 THEN 'NA'
WHEN TDMergerVotePercent IS NULL THEN ''
ELSE TDMergerVotePercent
END AS TDMergerVotePercent

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

It errors on the highlighted code.

the code should return :
<0.5
<1
I have tried '<' + ISNUMERIC([TBL_ActLab_codes].[Au]) but received this error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<' to data type int.
How I can concatenate the < with a float value?

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?

I seem to always get the "Fun Stuff" to try and figure out. I have an entire table that was pumped out of Oracle. I even hate saying that word!
There are a couple columns that are Float data type, and they are storing phone numbers as a Float data type. I am not able to CAST these into anything that is legible.
This is one of the values that I made up that look like some of the others.

I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?

I have been given some data from a Mainframe (AS400?) which has some fields coded in Packed Decimal. I have been able to load the data into a SQL2005 database table, but I now need to convert the Packed Decimal data in the binary(6) field to the appropriate integer (or float) value.
The field contains values such as the following:-
0x20202020200C
0x202020022025
0x20202020DFFA
I don't know how to interpret these. Has anyone got a function that can do this for me?
I've read several articles online that explain how packed decimal works, but none tell me how to interpret the last of my three examples. Can you help?
Thanks!

Hi all,
There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false...
I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE.
Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

if i use the query
SELECT iditem, CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105) FROM planeamento
it works just fine.. but in this case the dt (date) field is not recognised..
SELECT planeamento.iditem, idmodelo, item_planeamento.idproduto, item_planeamento.idpele, cor, ordemfabrico, qtd, CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105) FROM produto INNER JOIN item_planeamento ON produto.idproduto = item_planeamento.idproduto INNER JOIN planeamento ON item_planeamento.iditem = planeamento.iditem WHERE planeamento.idfabrica = 51 AND alterado = 'FALSE' AND estado = NULL GROUP BY planeamento.iditem, produto.idModelo, item_planeamento.idProduto, item_planeamento.idPele, item_planeamento.cor, item_planeamento.ordemFabrico, item_planeamento.qtd, planeamento.dt
before, id just had "id" where "CONVERT(char(20), dt, 105)" is, but the date was printed in a unwanted format..
can you help me?
thanks a lot!
