Decimal(38) Divide Question
Jan 28, 2008
I have a problem with decimal divide; give a look at these two selects:
Code Snippet
declare @decimal numeric(38)
set @decimal = 99999999999999999999999999999999
select @decimal / cast(2 as numeric(38))
/* ----- Sample Output: -----
---------------------------------------
49999999999999999999999999999999.500000
*/
set @decimal = 99999999999999999999999999999999999999
select @decimal / cast(2 as numeric(38))
/* ----- Sample Output: -----
---------------------------------------
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 7
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type numeric.
*/
It appears to me that for some reason I am getting data stored as a real intermediate; but the second select crashes. Is there a workaround for this or do I need to limit my DECIMAL data type to 32 digits or fewer? Is there something else that I am missing?

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)

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?

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.

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?

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 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
158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“&
20060715 0001010100010101
Please help!
Thanks

I have a field that divides one field by the sum of two others. However, when both of the two latter fields are 0's, I get a divide by zero error and the output halts. How do I get this so that for these records I put a NULL or UNDEFINED or something in there at least so I can see the rest of the output. Thanks.

Hi,
In the BI developement, in a matrix i'm trying to avoid division by zero, but even if i test the field before the division, i've got the error everytime.
I put the folowing test condition in the field, but i've got an error.
Ex : iif(Turnover <> 0, Cost/Turnover,0)
But i've got error message when the turnover is 0.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
I am having a terrible time with a stored procedure. I think it has something to do with a divide by zero issue. Here is my sproc:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPlayers]
@TeamID int
AS
SELECT PlayerID,
TeamID,
FirstName,
LastName,
FirstName + ' ' + LastName As Name,
"SPct" =
CASE (SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE AtBatID IN(1, 2, 3, 4) AND GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID)
WHEN 0 THEN 0
ELSE
Cast
( Cast
( (
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID AND AtBatID = '1') +
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID AND AtBatID = '2') +
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID AND AtBatID = '3') +
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID AND AtBatID = '4')
/
(SELECT Count(PlayerID) FROM GameDetail WHERE AtBatID IN(1, 2, 3, 4) AND GameDetail.PlayerID = Player.PlayerID
) * 1.0
) As int
) As Decimal(4,3))
End
FROM Player
WHERE TeamID = @TeamID
ORDER BY FirstName, LastName
Here is the error I get when I run this:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Procedure GetPlayers, Line 9
Arithmetic overflow error converting int to data type numeric.
So the results should look like: .333 or .500 or .000
It's driving me crazy. I have tried everything but cannot get the desired results. I'm hoping someone can help me.
Thanks,
Bob

I know you can resolve "divide by zero" messages with a CASE statement.
However, the T-SQL docs suggest that I should be able to simply turn off both the error message and the effect of the error with
SET ARITHIGNORE ON
and
SET ARITHABORT OFF
I am trying to execute these two statements within a stored proc but I need their effect to reach to a select statment that is a sql string (as in 'EXECUTE (@SQLSTRING)' within the same stored proc.
Am I wrong to expect these statements to be able to deal with "divide by zeroes"?
I haven't been able to make it work so I would appreciate any pointers that someone might have.
Many thanks.

this is from a SQL playbook
i don't understand the logic of DIVIDE when you use more than one NOT EXISTS
such as this query
select distinct itemname from qdel del where not exists (select * from qspl
where not exists (select * from qitem where itemtype='n' and not exists
(select * from qdel where qdel.itemname=qitem.itemname
and qdel.splno=qspl.splno)) and not exists (select * from qdel
where qdel.itemname = del.itemname and qdel.splno=qspl.splno))
i don't understand how can NOT EXISTS code brings out the results of the existing rows in those not exists lines
like it says NOT EXISTS itemtype 'n' etc. but that is the results!

"SELECT column_1, column_2, column_3, (dbo.column_2 "DIVIDED BY" dbo.column_3) AS new_column

Do I have to create a 'temp table' to do this?

Hello,
When I execute the following query, I get a Divide by zero error. I believe the Divide By zero error is occuring in the following statement. How do I avoid the error?
ModelDiff = CONVERT(decimal (8, 4), abs(yest.ModelValue-today.ModelValue)/abs(yest.ModelValue))
drop table #MaxArchiveDates
DECLARE @MaxArchiveDate INTEGER
, @EdgeModelID INTEGER
, @DefinitionID INTEGER
SELECT ArchiveDataDate = MAX(ArchiveDataDate) INTO #MaxArchiveDates FROM intldbArchive.dbo.GOModelUniversesSaveD
UNION SELECT ArchiveDataDate = MAX(ArchiveDataDate) FROM intldbArchive.dbo.GOSecurityGroupModelValSaveD
UNION SELECT ArchiveDataDate = MAX(ArchiveDataDate) FROM intldbArchive.dbo.GOSecuritiesSaveD
UNION SELECT ArchiveDataDate = MAX(ArchiveDataDate) FROM intldbArchive.dbo.GOUniverseSecurityMembeSaveD
SELECT @MaxArchiveDate = MIN(ArchiveDataDate) FROM #MaxArchiveDates
SELECT @MaxArchiveDate
SELECT ModelID = today.ModelID

I am writing a report that deals with time in seconds. I am trying to figure out the average handle time for each call.
To Get this number i use 5 fields. the formula is
(((cs_acd_trk_t + cs_acd_ext_c)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c)) + ((cs_t_acd_wrk)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))
Which translates to ((Incoming Handle Time) + (Work))/(Number of Incoming Calls)
When it does the calculations some times the cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c (number of incoming calls) is zero.
I dont know how to get around this ... i tried to set that value to <>0 in my query but it threw my other numbers off for number of calls which is a different value on the report.
Any Help on this would be super appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

I have a query that goes against an Oracle 9i database. I have run it in RS and in native oracle environment and get the same query results. I have guaranteed there are no NULL values.
If I structure the expression (as a 0 value test) it works fine. It puts 0/1 for in the result field correctly.
=iif(Fields!LDLM.Value = 0, 0.0, 1.0)
If when I put in the actual divide statement I get a zero divide error.
=iif(Fields!LDLM.Value = 0, 0.0,
((Fields!LDTM.Value - Fields!LDLM.Value) / Fields!LDLM.Value) * 100)
What could possibly be wrong? What is it I do not see?
This is as easy as it gets but it's driving me crazy !!!!!
Any thoughts. ANYBODY !!!!

In the following expression, the query executes with no errors (there are sometimes 0's and nulls in IRON and ENERGY):
SELECT * FROM gff2vg
WHERE (gff2vg.ENERGY > 0 and gff2vg.IRON > 0)
order by IRON/ENERGY desc
but when TOP is added there is a divide by zero error. Is there a way to avoid this?
SELECT TOP(64) * FROM gff2vg
WHERE (gff2vg.ENERGY > 0 and gff2vg.IRON > 0)
order by IRON/ENERGY desc

I'm new at SSRS and writing functions. I don't have something right here, but can't see what it is.
My function is:
Public Function TestDivide(Numerator as double, Divisor as double)
dim retVal
if Numerator <= 0 then
retVal = 0
end if
if Divisor= 0 then
retVal =0
else
retval = Numerator/Divisor
end if
return retVal
End Function
I have to test both the numerator and divisor because either or both may be 0.
In the cell I call it with this formula, thinking that the black part is the first argument and the red part is the second. But SSRS tells me "Argument not specified for parameter "Divisor".
=Code.TestDivide(RunningValue(Fields!Sales.Value,sum,nothing) - RunningValue(Fields!Cost.Value,sum,nothing)) ,
RunningValue(Fields!Sales.Value,sum,nothing)
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I am getting an error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression looks like this:
= IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Fields!Hours.Value / Fields!Qty.Value)
I have successfully used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this:
IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value)
I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside the second IIF and the calculation works.
What's strange is that the division would even be carried out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that.
Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach?
