It seems that the "decimal" type allows more flexibility but also uses more storage than "money". On the other hand, does "money" have any special t-sql functions that understand its unquie nature? (e.g. adding two money values together with no cents round-off error).
For example, would the number 12345.12 be declared as a decimal(7,2) or currency?

Hi,
The field below I need to convert to a dollar amount. Can someone help me please?
clm_tchg (decimal(10,2), null)
Thanks
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?

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?
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 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

I need to show my SUM of the 2 columns added in the query below formatted as currency. Is this possible?
SELECT SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
I tried:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(12), SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) , 1) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
But this does not format it as currency. Any input would be helpful.
I have a currency that needs to go into the Database. The column in the database is of type money.
When i try ctype or convert into integer, desimal or even sqlmoney type i get an error. Cannot convert data type nvarchar to data type money.
Can anyone help me with this Please.
Here is the code...
sqlcom = New SqlCommand("insert MeasureQuantities(MeasureQuantityName,MeasureQuantityDescrip,MeasureQuantityPrice) values(@MeasureQuantityName,@MeasureQuantityPrice,@MeasureQuantityDescrip)", ocnn)
ocnn.Open()
Dim decPrice As System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney
decPrice.ToDecimal()
decPrice = CType(MeasureQuantityPriceAdd.Text, System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney)
sqlcom.Parameters.Add("@MeasureQuantityName", MeasureQuantityNameAdd.Text)
sqlcom.Parameters.Add("@MeasureQuantityPrice", decPrice) 'MeasureQuantityPriceAdd.Text, System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney))

Hi i need to apply a currency conversion in my view now i don't have any table which holds the currency value at the moment its hard codes. I can build a tale with the currecnty but am not sure how i would apply this in my view.. without nothing to references it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I get data that looks like 200,000 returned as a currency format?
Here is what I have in my select statement it doesn't work and can't seem to find an example that works or maybe I just have it set up wrong?
'$' + convert(Sum(OrderHeader.SubTotal)as money) as 'Total Sales'
Ultimately I have a field that is returned and it exists on a reporting services report. I can't find a way just to format the field as currency through the properties either would that be the better way to do it if there is a way?
Hi all. Is there a way in SQL to convert the integer to currency format? just for example....
4000 convert to 4,000
1312500 convert to 1,312,500
30000 convert to 30,000
Most of you will say "Do it in your front end"... but the problem is I don't know how to do it in my Report(Business Intelligence Project). If anyone of you knows, tell me please... Thanks. :)

Starting in my control flow, I execute a data flow that populates a recordset via SQL 2005 Stored Proc. One of the columns in source table is a currency type.
Back to the control flow, I have a for each container that includes an execute sql task that updates or inserts records into another table. I get precision or data type issues since I can not assign the package variable to a currency data type. The only way I can get this to work is if I convert the currency column in my data flow to a string and then cast the variable in my update/insert sql task. Any suggestions?
Thanks....Gary
The $ must appears only on certain total levels and has to be in the same position in the column regardless of the value for financial reporting. In other words, I don't want the $ to float next the most significant digit in the value. See the example below from Excel. Using an IIF statement I can concatenate the $ to the string when it is a certain group level. However, I have tried many various formatting strings but can't find one that results in a fixed number of characters so that the $ will always appears in the same position in the column.
Anyone have a way to do this?

I did get this to work by adding a column to the grouping. That somehow causes the heading size to increase (??) and takes much more time than coding a format code in an expression (I have many reports to do).
I have a situation where I have three tables in the source i.e.
1. Currency
2. Currency ExchangeRate
3. ExchangeRateType
I understand the conversion of 1:M, M:1 and M:M currency conversion in the Analysis Services by modeling Currency as a Dim and Exchange Rate as a Fact Table with Time Key for semi-additive aggregation. Same as the way Exchange Rate works in the Adventure Works.
Now the problem we have, there is no one Exchange Rate, we have different Exchange Rate Types. So different Exchange Rate will be applied to different Currency conversion for Calculations.
How to materlized these 3 sources table into a dimensional model in a right way, so it answers all the scanerio.
Thank You
I have a fact table with amounts, all in a single currncy. I would like to be able to process the cube where I can select the currency from a dimension.
The format of the currency exchange dimension must include date, currency code, and exchange rate, where the native exchange rate (the currency that the amounts are in) is defined as 1.000.
How can I get the money datatype to return only two decimals instead of four?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've just created an ecommerce website using ASP and SQL Server 2000 - on my development machine (WinXP Pro, IIS, SQL Server 2000) the SQL Server datatype for the price field is Money - however, the datatype on my hosts SQL Server is Currency (there is no Money datatype available??)
Now, the problem is this: on my local machine I enter a price of say 99.99 - this shows up on the front-end & in the admin area as 99.99, no problem. Now, on the live server when I enter 99.99 it is somehow converted to 9999 - if I enter 99,99 (with a comma) it shows correctly as 99.99 - however, when I go to edit the price it reverts to 9999...does anyone know what is going on here? Why is it converting 99.99 to 9999??
Please let me know if you need more clarification of the above.
Many thanks,
Peter

I'm looking to display the results of the following query as currency. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...
SELECT SUM (sysTotalCharge) - SUM (sysTotalCredit) AS TotalNet FROM Bookings WHERE (sysRecordDate BETWEEN '01/01/::Year::' AND '01/31/::Year::')
I've written an Sql statement to extract the Currency Amount and the currency rate and I want to calculate the Amount in Local Currency.
If the currency amount is in the local currency the Currency rate value returned is 0. I have used a case statement to convert the 0 to 1. (is there
easier way)
But I now can't calculate my Local amount value because of the way I have converted the currency rate.
Select IH.Amount, 'Currency Factor' = CASE
when
IH.[Currency Factor] = 0 then 1
else IH.[Currency Factor]
end,
what way should I have written this?
I'm looking more into UDAs and wondering if someone can help me out. I get how I use them and route to them. What about their freshness -- the data? If I'm aggregating data via some methods...when is that underlying data aggregates. When the UDA is called at runtime (coulnd't that hurt performance). I guess I"m likening these things to indexed views with benefits. Am I lost here -- someone help..thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's probably right underneath my nose, but I cannot seem to be able to set the currency format.
My Stored procedure returns an integer that represents a cash value in pennies (like cents).
I then divide this value by 100 and convert it to a Double, so its value is represented in Pounds.
This all works fine, my problem is that when I wrap the above logic in a FormatCurrency, I get a dollar ($) sign before it. How can I change this so that it gives a pound sign (£)?
I am trying to understand the currency conversion but facing some problems in the same.The more I am tring to understand that the more confused am i getting.
My requirement is specific. I am trying to write sql queries for the measures which come under the scope of currency conversion.
I will query the Cube to get the measure value :
SELECT [Measures].[Sales Amount] on 0 from [Adventure Works DW]
And then query the SQL database as:
Use AdentureWorksDW
SELECT SUM(SalesAmount) FROM FactInternetSales
My understanding is this ( Please correct me if i am wrong) :
If the Currency conversion is:
1. Many to One : Data will be different (in SQL and MDX) as currency conversion is applied which will convert that to a particular (Corporate) currency.
2. One To many : Data will not be different (in SQL and MDX)
2. Many to many : Data will not be different (in SQL and MDX)
I did not get much information on the same from anywhere. I want to undersatnd the script of the Currency conversion. (The script generated by Currency conversion wizard) and then depending on the script (I will extract the Type of conversion) write the SQL for that.

What is the best datatype in SQL Server 2000 to use for a US dollar amount?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm brain-dead so forgive the simple question, but how do you sort a table based on the value in a money datatype field when sorting defaults to:
$1
$10
$15
$2
$20
$25
...
$5
$55
etc.
Obviously this isn't a "sorted by total amount", where I'd want the results returned like:
$1
$2
$3
...
$9
$10
$11
...
etc.
Links to examples or documentation would be great (I've tried searching both these forums and Google already).
