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?
View 2 RepliesI 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)
Hi..
I have a column in the data base with the type Float,
I want to limit the number of digits after decimal point to 2 when I display the value in ASP.NET but I don't know how!?
the number that appear after calculation llike "93.333333"
I use decimal(2,2) as data type but an error accour and this is the message
"- Unable to modify table. Arithmetic overflow error converting float to data type numeric.The statement has been terminated."
Can you help me..
thanks
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,

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)

I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi 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 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 have created a simple package that uses a sql command to pull data from an oracle database and inserts the data into a sql 2005 table. Some of the data fields that i am pulling from contain two digits after the decimal point, however this data is lost when it gets into sql. I have even tried putting the data into a flat file, and still the data is lost.
In the package I have a ole db source connection which is the oracle database and when i do the preview i see all the data I need. I am very confused and tried a number of things to get the data into sql, but none work. Any ideas would be very helpful.
thanks
Hi,
The table in SQL has column Availability Decimal (8,8)
Code in c# using sqlbulkcopy trying to insert values like 0.0000, 0.9999, 29.999 into the field Availability
we tried the datatype float , but it is converting values to scientific expressions€¦(eg: 8E-05) and the values displayed in reports are scientifc expressions which is not expected
we need to store values as is

I need to store 256 bit hash (SHA-2 alogrithmn) in one of the table'sprimary key. I would prefer to use numeric data type rather varcharetc.* Decimal datatype range is -10^38 +1 to 10^38 -1. I can split my 256bit hash into two decimal(38, 0) type columns as composite key* I can store the hash as varbinary. I never used it and don't havemuch understanding in terms of query writing complexities and dealingit through ADO (data type etc.)It would be heavy OLTP type of systems with hash based primary keyused in joins for data retrieval as well.Please provide your expert comments on this.RegardsAnil

Hi all,
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 value with data type nvarchar:
total
000000854.00
000000042.00
000000065.17
000000000024
000000000.24
How can i convert to decimal and remove 0 infront? but those with 0.xx would not remove the 0 after the dote.
total
854.00
42.00
65.17
24
0.24
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.

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:

Hi There,
I'm using C# to get a value for a DOUBLE precision variable, called "Length", from a textBox using the following line:
Length = Convert.ToDouble( txtLength.Text )
I'm also using the following lines to prepare my stored procedure call:
arParms[9] = new SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5);
arParms[9].Value = record.Length;
My stored procedure has the following parameter definition:
@Length decimal(9,3)
My problem is that if someone types a value bigger than 999999 in the textbox he will get for sure the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error converting data type numeric to decimal.
I don't know how to either make sql or C# to truncate the value or catch the exception to automatically assign 0 to the parameter.
Please Help.

I have a CSV Flat File Source with a Decimal column - but DataPrecision property is grayed out - why?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo my data is delivered as numeric(9,2)...like 100.00. I have to extract that data and store it as a varchar 0 filled without the decimal place...like 0000010000///I tried the following and it did not work...
RIGHT('000000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,[EODPosting].[Amount]),10),
I have the following code:
declare @number nvarchar(50)
set @number = '7:50'
select cast (@number as float)
This gives the error:

Is there any way to get the cast statement to interpret the : as a decimal point?

How do you display 12.38 as 1238 I can't use round.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy are there more decimal positions here

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 have a problem with my reports in SSRS 2012,
I have numeric values in database(10.23) but when load this values in a report, I see: 10,23 instead 10.23Â
The regional configuration of server is: Spanish-Peru. Why the report show the value: 10,23 I don't put any regional configuration in the report...
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.
I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1
If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.
anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?
Hello, I heve the code below.
double prix =TextBox1.Text;
And I have SQL SERVER table Products in witch I have a column prix ( Decimal(16,4) )
But if I insert prix on my table products on the field prix. prix does not take the correct value.
For example if TextBox1.Text=19,6 , the value inserted on the field prix in the table will be 20.
Why ?
How can we insert the correct value ?
This one cost me a solid half hour yesterday. I'm wondering why onearth the default precision for a decimal type is 18,0. Maybe I'mmistaken. A decimal datatype sort of implies that you'd want somethingafter the decimal!Question is, can I set this database-wide? Like all new decimaldatatypes have a precision of 12,6 or something like that? I haven'tseen anything about this in the googling I have done...
