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 want to sort this field interactively.I have already sorted other fields, but as this field is text but has decimal data, its not sorting properly. How do I do this correctly? Once sorted ascending, report should show

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) iviczl
Looking for a way to round numbers to a specified number of significant digits. The ROUND function rounds to a specific decimal place but does not take into account the level of significance of the remaining numbers. (i.e. ROUND(7.12435,2)=7.12000) The type of function I need would round the number in the following manner: SigFigRound(7.12435,3)=7.12 or SigFigRound(7.12345,1)=7.
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?
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 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 two fields - both defined as money. When I divide them, SQL Server truncates the result after the 4th decimal point. So SQL Server says: 370.45 / 3,391,517.85 = 0.0001 I want to achieve: 370.45 / 3,391,517.85 = 0.00010922837... etc. The field the result is going into is defined as decimal(20,18)
I've tried using "cast(1stmoneyfield as decimal(20,18)) / cast(2ndmoneyfield as decimal(20,18)) as dividednumber", but SQL Server reports back errors about null values and Arithmetic overflow and terminates.
I'm at a loss as to how to solve the problem. Any suggestions please?
I'm building an invoice report in visual studio for use with MS Dynamics CRM Online. The "quantity" field I reference from the database contains a decimal number with a precision of 2 (i.e - 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) due to how I charge my clients as they can purchase 0.25 hours of support for example.
The problem is that I also sell other items that don't require a decimal place in the quantity field and "1 x website design" would look a lot better than "1.00 x website design".
format the quantity field on my report so that it will remove the 0's and the decimal place ONLY when all the numbers after the decimal place are 0. So, to clarify:
1.00 should become 10.25 should stay as 0.250.50 should stay as 0.50 instead of it changing to 0.5 (I can live with 0.5 if 0.50 is a deal breaker.)
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'm trying to change the background color in a field based on its number value being greater than another number value in an adjacent field. The issue I am having is the format, it's like a software version string or IP address (in this case, it is A/V Signature Versions) where the length of the numbers between the decimal places can be different, and that seems to throw off the comparison.
For example (these are actual values I am comparing);
1.201.1054.0 should evaluate as greater than 1.201.2.0 but when compared, evaluates as FALSE.
Hi, I have a question regarding inserting numbers automatically. For example, there are 2 fields. One is CountryID and other is CountryName. From Front-end I'm entering the Country Name "India" alone and in my table the CountryID "1" or what ever the sequence should be entered. I believe this can be done using Triggers. I read on KB article in Microsoft website. But didn't get clear idea. Is that the correct way?Can any one show me a small example of this? Or give an idea for this?
I am updating three fields (defined as decimal(18,4) NULL) in a 1.7 million record table to 0. This table is also very wide (meaning lot of columns). A simple query like this -
Large design flaw, I know, but we have a table with a varchar field which contains alpha - numeric values. I need to change just the numerics, which can be in an position on the field:
Sample data of the field: Rec1: Sally Morgan 201-555-1212 Rec2: 555-4040 John Smith Rec3: Jane Houstin 201-555-6452 ext1223
Desired result: Rec1: Sally Morgan 999-999-9999 Rec2: 999-9999 John Smith Rec3: Jane Houstin 999-999-9999 ext9999
There's a bunch of UDFs out there for selecting just the numerics, but I'm having trouble throwing it into a viable script for repeatable execution.
I have a field in a database which is a datatype Money. When I run a select query the data is coming back with 4 decimal places like 100.0000 but I only want 2 decimal places like 100.00.
I have a field in a table (named QuestionPosition)(type Decimal) that contains values like this:
1 2 3 4 5.1 5.2 5.3 ...
I want to have another field in the same table that stores just the remainder (in the above case a 0 for integer values and the 1 of the 5.1, 2 of the 5.2 etc.
I created the field in the table (named QuestionSubPosition) and tried to set the formula for it to QuestionPosition % 1 but it does not accept the formula.
The part that i do not understand is that i can set the formula to QuestionPosition / 1 it works (but not the results i want).
I need to format a field to a set number of decimal places which is held as a field within the DB, and also format it as a standard number.
I have been able to set the format of the field to the decimal places field and it all works (the quantity in the row has the right number of decimal places), but i cant now format it as a number...
Heres an example:
The quantity is 1500 with 3 decimal places so it becomes 1500.000
I need to format it as a number with comma's etc such as 1,500.000
How would i go about doing this? Ive already used the format option for the decimal places and dont know how to add another format type (which in this case will be N)
I have a table in SQL 2005 with a field that has a value of type 'money'. When values are added, the field has 4 decimal places. Is there a way that I can make it only have 2 decimal places right away? Thanks!!!
I have a feeling I'll be forced to use a script and a trigger for thistype of field format but I'm wondering if any of your wizards couldpoint at a simple way I could do something like this:For example, if I want to be able to keep track of new orders followingthis incrementing convention:ORD100000001ORD100000002ORD100000003.... etc ...Does MSSQL2000 have features that I can simply set for this kind offield or will I be resorting to writing up a SQL script and a trigger?
