My Decimal Value Is Being Rounded Of When It Gets To The Db
Jan 28, 2004
Hi
I'm inserting a decimal value into my db but it keeps round it of to a single figure. Its the result of time between two times. ie between 1:00 and 2:30 equals 2.5. But it ends up as 2 in the db even though the db field is also decimal. I know by looking at the watch in the bugger that its actually a decimal value just prior to insertion which only leads me to suspect that sql server is doing the rounding of, maybe this is the default behaviour but i need it to store the values as decimal.
I am writing a simple shopping cart app and the price field is being rounded when inserted into the database.There is a textbox for the user to enter the price. A stored procedure is used to insert the line item info to the data base table. The field in the table is formatted as datatype decimal. Below is the stored procedure and the code that adds the value to the parameter. Any suggestions on where I am going wrong?<Code>CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_insert_CartDetail] ( @ReferenceNum [int], @Item [varchar](26), @Desc1 [varchar](27), @Desc2 [varchar](20), @Desc3 [varchar](30), @Desc4 [varchar](30), @Note [text], @Quantity [int], @DateOrdered [datetime], @SalesPrice [decimal], @DistCost [decimal], @SalesTaxable [smallint], @RequiredDate [datetime], @User1 [varchar](12), @User2 [varchar](12), @User3 [varchar](12), @User4 [varchar](12), @User5 [varchar](12), @User6 [varchar](12)) AS INSERT INTO [ToolCrib].[dbo].[CartDetail] ( [ReferenceNum], [Item], [Desc1], [Desc2], [Desc3], [Desc4], [Note], [Quantity], [DateOrdered], [SalesPrice], [DistCost], [SalesTaxable], [RequiredDate], [User1], [User2], [User3], [User4], [User5], [User6]) VALUES ( @ReferenceNum, @Item, @Desc1, @Desc2, @Desc3, @Desc4, @Note, @Quantity, @DateOrdered, @SalesPrice, @DistCost, @SalesTaxable, @RequiredDate, @User1, @User2, @User3, @User4, @User5, @User6)SqlCmdInsetCartDetail.Parameters("@SalesPrice").Value = CType(txtCost.Text, Decimal) </code>
I´m having some trouble with a database field that I had to redefine. At first, it was defined as an int, but I had to change it to decimal (5,2).
I have an application which is accessing my database. Problem now is that when if I enter a decimal value, say 3,12 into my field and then press save on my BindingNavigator, this value is instantly rounded to 3,00. I tried entering the value directly into my database, and that´s no problem. The rounding seems to happen on the update statement. I tried stepping through the code, and after this particular line, the value is rounded... Any help?
I have this case statement below it is for an access fee. My problem that I am having is that now I am getting a number that is huge. Example, 8.2350000000. I need this to be rounded up and numbers srinked to 8.24, how can I add that in my case statement below? Please help if you can.
Thanks
CASE clm_att1 WHEN 'NG' THEN CASE clm_h30 WHEN 0 THEN cast(clm_sppo as decimal(12,2))*(cast(clio_fee04 as decimal (12,2))/100) ELSE cast(clm_H30 as decimal(12,2))*(cast(clio_fee04 as decimal (12,2))/100) END WHEN 'NA' THEN '0.00'
WHEN 'AF' THEN CASE clm_h30 WHEN 0 THEN cast(clm_sppo as decimal(12,2))*(cast(clio_fee04 as decimal (12,2))/100) ELSE cast(clm_H30 as decimal(12,2))*(cast(clio_fee04 as decimal (12,2))/100)*.65 END
I am designing a report in which the edges of the tables should be curved. Is there any way to make the edge of the tables rounded? Could any one suggest for this. I am using MS Reporting service 2003
I came across the below scenario in SSIS where the values are not getting rounded off in SSIS as expected.
I am passing the value 23007.945 and using a derived column expression to round off the value Round(number,2).
Placed a data viewer to view the outcome after the derived column expression.Value after derived column expression seems to be 23007.94 but the same when passed in SQL select round(23007.945,2) gives us the value as 23007.95.
ALTER function [dbo].[GetBillPrice](@BillLineID int)
returns float
as
begin
DECLARE @BillPrice float
SET @BillPrice = (
SELECT ((CAST(T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxBillValue as float))+(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax1Value as float)) +(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax2Value as float)))
FROM T_BillLine
INNER JOIN T_BillValueAndTax on T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxID = T_BillLine.BillValueAndTaxID_Price
INNER JOIN T_BillTax on T_BillTax.BillTaxID = T_BillValueAndTax.BillTaxID_Bill
WHERE T_BillLine.BillLineID = @BillLineID)
return ABS(@BillPrice)
end
No matter how I try to return the @BillPrice value, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number. For instance if the value is calculated as 198.75 the value returned is 199.0
When I execute the function in Query Anlayser the correct value of 198.75 is returned.
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.

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?
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?
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?

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?
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.
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
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 am having trouble the with the line below:SELECT AVG(CAST(RATE1 AS Decimal(9, 2))) AS Expr1i am trying to do an average on the column "rate1" and want only 2decimal points but the syntax i wrote doesn't do it. is theresomething i am missing or doing wrong?when i run the above syntax i get 7.246428 and i need it to be 7.2 iknow this is possible in SQL but for some reason cant figure it out.Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks
Is there any disadvantages of using Decimal type as a primary key? Ifso, are there other data types that can hold large numbers (more thanan int can hold: 13 digits or so) and perform better as a Key field?Thanks.
I imported some feilds from a text file. Most of which i set to varchar. However, I want one of the feilds to have 2 decimal places.
I tried changing it in the table design after the import and nothing changed. Then i tried re-writing the query for insertiing the values, where i changed varchar(11) to numeric (11,2) but i got an error. "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric."
I just created a new table in my database. One of the fields in that table has a data type of money. Would my C# code be better off referring to this field as SqlMoney or as a decimal and why? Would I be better off altering the field in the table so that it has a data type of decimal? Thanks
Hi guys,I've got a table with one of the columns 'ConversionRate' declared as decimal. The value for this column is defined as 1.45. In my vb file, I tried to retrieve the value using a SqlParameter as shown below:myConversionRate = Me.SqlCommand.Parameters.Add(Sql.StoredProcParameter.ConversionRate, SqlDbType.Decimal)myConversionRate.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output which will access the following query in my stored proc: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Charge @PConversionRate DECIMAL = 0 OUTPUT AS SELECT @PConversionRate = ConversionRate, FROM TblCharge For some reasons, the value returned is always 1 instead of 1.45. Anyone experienced this problem before and knows how to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am trying to get my string to 2 decimal places... Here is the code:string sumSQL = "SELECT CONVERT (float,sum(callTime)/count(callTime)) as CAVG FROM leads where agent = '" + agent + "' and " + dates.Text; SqlCommand sumCMD = new SqlCommand(sumSQL, conn2); object null1 = sumCMD.ExecuteScalar();if (null1 != null) {string avgS = sumCMD.ExecuteScalar().ToString();Response.Write(avgS + "<br>" + "</td></tr><tr>"); }
Hi all - am in a bit of a quandry over this one!My application is all up and running - it's an despact & accounts app - I've missed one thing though - the ability to deal with half pennies (or half cents for those of you over the pond ;)) All of my tables are set up as decimal (19,2) along with all the params in my stored procs (a lot!). Is there an easy way to change all of these in 1 swoop? Thanks in advance, Stephen.
Hi i have a insert stored procedure, which i need to insert a label.text which is 12.99 the problem i have is that it is inserting as 13.00 any ideas what i need to do??Dim Price As Decimal = CostLabel.Text then i am inserting with this param.... command113.Parameters.Add("@Cost", SqlDbType.Decimal).Value = Price
Im trying to insert a decimal into SQL 2000 using a stored procedure. I can successfully insert it using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code, but I cant insert it correctly when calling for a stored procedure.
For instance 12.5 will insert as 12.
Here is my SQL Parameter code: [code] MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Num", SqlDbType.Decimal)) MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Precision = 5 MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Scale = 2 MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Value = Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox1.Text) [/code]
I also declared @Num to be a decimal in my Stored Procedure.
As you can see I give the Parameter more than enough detail about the data type as well as convert the textbox value to a decimal, but it still rounds the value to an integer like data.
Again using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code works OK, but the stored procedure will not. ANyone got any ideas why this is happening.
I want to format a number, a decimal, with 2 figures afther the "," but all I get is zeroes behind it. It works if I replace "cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId)" by 12.12 for example, 12,12 does not work... It driving me crazy
dim cart = New ShoppingCartDB()TotalweightLbl.Text = string.Format("{0:n}", cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId)) the stored procedure... CREATE Procedure CMRC_ShoppingCartTotalweigh ( @CartID nvarchar (50), @Totalweight decimal (5,2) OUTPUT ) AS SELECT @Totalweight = SUM(Products.Unitweight * ShoppingCart.Quantity) FROM ShoppingCart, Products WHERE ShoppingCart.CartID = @CartID AND Products.ProductID = ShoppingCart.ProductIDGO the function.... Public Function GetTotalweight (ByVal cartID As String) As Decimal ' Create Instance of Connection and Command Object Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim myCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("CMRC_ShoppingCartTotalweigh", myConnection) ' Mark the Command as a SPROC myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure ' Add Parameters to SPROC Dim parameterCartID As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@CartID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50) parameterCartID.Value = cartID myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterCartID) Dim parameterTotalweight As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@Totalweight", SqlDbType.decimal, ) parameterTotalweight.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterTotalweight) ' Open the connection and execute the Command myConnection.Open() myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() myConnection.Close() ' Return the Total If parameterTotalweight.Value.ToString() <> "" Then Return parameterTotalweight.Value Else Return 0 End If End Function
