How To Round With Negative Numbers?
Jul 23, 2005
I am using a select statement to obtain a result set back with aggregated
data. The problem is that I am seeing column data with 11 to 13 digits
after the decimal point. I tried using the STR function, but then the Order
By clause does not sort properly because there are negative numbers in the
aggregated data... I tried using Round, but that does no good either - it
still ends up displaying too many digits after the decimal point. Right now
I'm just using Query Analyzer to display the data, so I can live with it for
now. But, in the future, my app will be getting a result set back and I
would prefer not to have to go through each row and do a round on it from
the program. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks for any help,
Bob

Hello:
I have gotten the following information from sp_spaceused:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
database_name database_size unallocated space
------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------
EP_tran2 700.00 MB 273.21 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
437034 KB 295106 KB 1447796 KB -1305868 KB
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I unfortunately since this is for a test database that I have put the data and log on the same device.
My questions are:
1) Why do I have negative numbers?
2) Should I be concerned about this?
3) for a live database can I drop the log and put the log on another device? What do I need to do?
4) has anybody seen this before?
5)what can I use to get accurate numbers?
THanks. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I am trying to import about 3300 lines of data from excel. Some of the columns in excel have negative, positive and even 0 as numbers.
I have matched those columns in the DB and have tried all the different data types that i thought should work, but on import, all negative and 0 numbers get dropped.
I have played with the excel formatting as well, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone encounter this before?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-
The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

Anybody noticed that SQL Server rounds up if the value is half waybetween two rounded values, but C#'s Decimal.Round(Decimal,Int32)rounds to nearest even number?[color=blue]>From MSDN: "When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the[/color]result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far rightdecimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process isknown as rounding toward even, or rounding to nearest."I perform the same calculation sometimes on the web server in C# andsometimes at the database in T-SQL, but want to get the same resultfrom both calculations. Could anybody offer any strategies for dealingwith this?Thanks ~ Matt

I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

Has anyone been experiencing problems with rounding to 2 decimal places in SQL 7? I have a bunch of queries that generate web reports. Under 6.5 everything was fine. Now under 7.0 any number that needs to be rounded to 2 decimals is actually giving me several decimal places.
Here is a simplified version of what I am doing:
DECLARE @x real
DECLARE @y real
SELECT @x = 223.1
SELECT @y = 59.7
SELECT ROUND((@x/@y),2)
Result should be 3.74. But instead I am getting 3.7400000000000002
If anybody has heard if Microsoft has declared this as a known bug please let me know.
Thanks for your time.

I have the statement below which I use in an update
select (round(sum(tottime/60),2)) as ttime from vw_cms_suptime
where vw_cms_suptime.[tracking number] = 970
tracking.[tracking number]
Even though I have the round the statement returns a value
of 5.0000000000000003E-2
Is there something wrong with the round?

There is a filed in a table of type decimal(12, 8)
when running a select query on this table for this field i.e.
select field1 from table1
the data is shown like:
102.12500000
104.12500000
And therefore the report shows the same figure.
How do I get this field to show up in the report as 4 decimal places. i.e.
102.1250
104.1250
Tried the properties of the cell to format the text into a number but there is only 2 decimal places there.
Even tried the expression by using Rnd(field1). This does not seem to do what I am after.
Thanks

How do I write sql syntax to round the last digit. For example, 12.152 should be 12.15. My current sql syntax does not round the last digit as follows:
Select tblARInvoiceDetail.UnitPrice * tblARInvoiceDetail.Quantity AS ChargeBeforeDiscount
FROM tblARInvoices INNER JOIN
tblARInvoiceDetail ON
tblARInvoices.ARInvoiceID = tblARInvoiceDetail.ARInvoiceID
The tblARInvoiceDetail.UnitPrice column is numeric;length 9;precision 18
The Quantity column is integer;length 4; precision 10;scale 0
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,

I have already summed the values and this below query sum the values and returns zero if there are no values. How can I roundoff the values for these columns.
isnull(sum([Old_Values]),0) [Old Values],
[New_Value] = isnull(sum([Yearly_Value]-[Previous_Year_Value]),0)
Even this query I use for calculation and I need to round off the values
[Product_Price] = [Product_Profit]/4,
[Product_Profit] = [ActualValue] * 0.75,
[GrossValue]

I understand that when you use ROUND(8.5,1), I would get 9 but no matter how hard I try, I get 8.
I had this code that suppose to get the round of a quotient. I wanted to update a number of records by converting them via multiplication and/or division.
Here:
UPDATE Length
SET inchTOcm = inchTOcm*2.5, metricTOton = ROUND(metricTOton/1.1,1);
supposing the original value of inchTOcm are in inch and in metricTOton are in metric ton.
There is a value in the metricTOton that when I divide it with 1.1, it's 345.81818. However, when I round it, it displays 345 instead of 346.
Is there wrong? How can I do this without using the CASE statement?

But when I use this query

the output is 7.3
How do I make the output consistent here desirable is 7.4. Please advise.
