I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entire
original value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.
For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.
Can this be done?
Hi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?

I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

Hello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

Hi,
I'm trying to import a text-file into SQL2005 by using SSIS. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in the way I thought. Because I'm using the german version of SQL2005 I need to translate the items of my toolbox, so dont wonder if their names are not exactly the same as in the english versions.
Try number1:
a) My datasource is a flatfile, in the connection manager I changed the DataType for the input column to DT_DECIMAL. In my destination table the data type of ths column is decimal(20,4). Name of the column is "NXT_PUT_PX".
b) Running this package results in this error:
"Fehler bei der Datenkonvertierung. Die Datenkonvertierung für die NXT_PUT_PX-Spalte gab den Statuswert '2' und den Statustext 'Der Wert konnte aufgrund eines möglichen Datenverlustes nicht konvertiert werden.' zurück. Fehlercode: 0xC0209084. "
Translation of this is something like:
Error by converting data. Converting data for column NXT_PUT_PX returned state '2' and text 'Value couldn't be converted because of a potential loss of data'.
Try number2:
a) same as try number1
b) Adding a datatransformation-task (Datenkonvertierung), and set NXT_PUT_PX to be converted to DT_DECIMAL wirh SCALE 20.
c) Assigning this converted column to the destination column.
d) Running the package results in the same error as described above.
Try number3:
Same as try number 2 but the input column for my flatfile is now DT_WSTR with width 50.
Running this results in the same error message as above, but different errorcode. Errorcode is 0xC020907F.
Any hints how to do this conversion correct?
Best regards,

Hello!
I´m having some trouble converting values represented as strings to the decimal data type.
I have a flat file source, from where I read some currency rates represented without decimals.
Before sending those values to my SQL Server destination, I want to convert them to represent correct values.
An example to clarify:
If my source contains a column named "curr_rate" with the value 000092500 I want to send it
to my destination as 9,2500.
So I set up a Dervied column component, converting my value like so:
((DT_NUMERIC,9,4)curr_rate)/10000
My problems is that the precision is lost, and all that´s sent to my destination table is 9,0000.
How should I go about to convert my strings without losing precision in the process?
Thanks in advance!
I am reading a data source where all data in a given column is held as a string containing a percent value with 2 decimal points:
03.52%
12.32%
92.10%
80.05%
27.92%
100.00%
[...]
etc...
I need to convert these into decimal values with up to four decimal points, like this:
0.352
0.1232
0.9210
0.8005
0.2792
1.0000
I am trying to use the derived column editor but since I am fairly new to this, I am getting my wires crossed. c
1. Remove the % sign from the string -- not sure if I should use TRIM, or REPLACE
2. Divide the value by 100 -- but don't I need to do some sort of type casting first?
3. Do a cast to convert whatever I got into the correct decimals -- perhaps this isn't required if I did step 2 as a typecast to decimals already?
The following SQL statement returns the correct totals except that
the total value is shifted on decimal place to the right. i.e. a real
total of 955.68 is displayed as 9,556.80. The total_ar field is a money type.
Any help would be appreciated.

/* AR report Total Greater than 365 days sorted by Dept */

group by a.dept
I want to force two places to the right of the decimal even if its a whole number.
vbScript
calculatedScore = FormatNumber((rsQFinal("sumEarned") / rsQFinal("sumPossible")) * 100, 2)
I'm not savy enought to know the SQL equivalent of the above but I'd like SQL Server to perform the above rather than my vbScript code.
heres what I have so far but I don't know the formatNumber equivalent:
CREATE PROCEDURE quarterFinalGradeSA @nClass INT, @nQuarter INT, @nStudent INT AS
SELECT (SUM(tblScores.score) / SUM(tblAssignments.assignmentTotalPoints)) AS returnValue

I have got txt file and I am trying to import this file into the database. For that action I use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. I use Locale Czech and CodePage 1250. In the text file is the column in that format: 18152.65 - it is number with decimal point. When I use BCP utility for importing data, I use datatype decimal(10,2) and everything is OK. But when I try to use Import and Export Wizard, I choose for that column datatype numeric (DT_NUMERIC - precision 10, scale 2), the Import doesn't start and occurs the error:
- Executing (Error)

I have the following code:
declare @number nvarchar(50)
set @number = '7:50'
select cast (@number as float)
This gives the error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 8
Error converting data type nvarchar to float.
But if I change the value to '7.50'
it works ok.
Is there any way to get the cast statement to interpret the : as a decimal point?
Thanks,
How do you display 12.38 as 1238 I can't use round.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy are there more decimal positions here
PRINT cast(111 as decimal(38,35)) / 23
--> 4.82608695652173913043478260869565217
then here
DECLARE @Zähler decimal(38,35)

SET @Zähler = 111.0
SET @Nenner = 23.0
PRINT cast(@Zähler as decimal(38,35)) / @Nenner

Of course, in the upper part 23 is implicitly an integer, in the lower example it is declared as decimal. But what if I need to devide by 23.5? Why is dividing by an decimal reducing the results decimal positions?

I am importing an excel spreadsheet into a MS SQL database table. When the spreadsheet is finished importing, I am noticing that some values that were brought in resemble something like this 1.41666666666667. Other values may be shorter or only have 1 digit. The problem is another web application that pulls this data for use in online forms only allows up to 2 digits. How can I round all of the numbers like the above to 2 decimals and replace the existing values?
I know there is the rounding function that could be used like so:
SELECT ROUND ([Hrs Total 2],2)
FROM AnnualClassifiedPAFs
How do I then take that rounded value and insert it back into the records?
I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
Hello.
My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.

Currently writing a script to duplicate information in a database for a client. They have setup a userdefined table in our software that contains information that needs to go into the duplicate records. One particular column in this user defined table contains a decimal number in the 45mill range. The column that number is going into is an nVarchar column that requires a Hex value for our software.
Long story short (too late) I have been unable to find a system stored procedure that will convert the Decimal value into a Hexadecimal string.
Questions:
Is there one I just haven't found?
Anyone know of one already written by someone in the Community?
Or stop wasting time looking because there isn't one so I better hurry up and get one written and tested before my project is due?
I need to convert a value 5.300000000 to 0005300. Basically I want to remove the decimal point, pad the out put with a couple of zeros and return a value that is 7 bytes long. I may need to convert something like 10.300000000 to be 0010300.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.
how do you convert a numeric to time format if it shows hours but a decimal figure for Minutes. For example if I have hours in decimal format like this
28.5000
but I want to show it in this format:
28:30:00
where 28 = hours, 30 = minutes, 00 = seconds
Thanks.
In Reporting Services, I have a decimal time field (18,2) in my report which I wish to display as HH:MM. Similarly, I req a sum of total hours and minutes as a summary. Whats the expression for doing this. I've googled far and wide and cannot find a definitve solution.
Thanks.

I am having some issues converting time to decimal from one of my column which display it as
2014-07- 08:16:31.000 (datetimecreated)
All of my currency columns are only storing 2 decimal places when I insert into the database but when I pull out the data with a SELECT statement, I always get 4 decimal places instead of the 2 that were inserted.
For example:
Database Price SELECT statement Price
100.56 100.5600
I have tried to use the CAST and/or CONVERT commands but I cannot get the output to come out as 100.56. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks
I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals
