Hi - I have what seems like a simple problem and I cannot find an answer to it. I'm hoping someone here can help.
I want to divide 2 numbers but have the answer come back with no decimal places. I don't want to round up or down..just give me the whole number and drop the decimal places. For example:
Select units/60 as answer
And units = 280. I want the "answer" to be 4 and NOT 4.66.
I would expect the first one to give me the most accurate result but the second query with a lower precision and scale returns a result with a greater scale.Thanx.
Which one is good method to convert a following division into 2 decimal digits.
q1)
select cast(( cast( sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
q2)
select cast(( sum(population) * cast( 100 as decimal)) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
q3)
select cast( (sum(population) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
q4)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
q5)
select cast( (cast(sum(population) as decimal) * cast(100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
q6)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) * 100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state
I have a table that have the following fields: Outlet,EmployeeNumber,WorkingDate,WorkingHour,Ince ntive
when I put it into a matrix report, the Outlet is assiged to Page, the EmployeeNumber is assgined to ROW, the WorkingDate is assigned to Column and both WorkingHour & Incentive is assigned to Data(display in row but not column). There is a subtotal at the extreme right side.
May I know how can I squeeze in another element display at the report showing sum of Incentive / sum of WorkingHour? This new element shall be placed at each row as it's indicating the average incentive of each employee.
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
I have a prob with the following code... in that the value of the amount of the year 2001 is 0 so it is showing me division by zero prob can any one change the code and let me know the details
declare @year1 int declare @year2 int declare @month int
set @year1 = 2002 set @year2 = 2001 set @month =9
select case when sum(case WHEN a.oper_year = @year1 THEN a.amount else 0 end) = sum(case WHEN a.oper_year = @year2 THEN a.amount else 0 end) then 0 else ( (sum(case WHEN a.oper_year = @year1 THEN a.amount else 0 end) - sum(case WHEN a.oper_year = @year2 THEN a.amount else 0 end))/ sum(case WHEN a.oper_year = @year2 THEN a.amount else 0 end) )* 100 end as Percentage, from oper_sundata a, oper_type_new b where a.site_id = b.sun_site
In my query, there's a mathematical expression that takes a value from one table and divides it by another value (X). The problem is that X can be 0 sometimes and then I get an error. How can I prevent errors like this for the case of X=0? In access I would use IIF function, but it doesn't appear in SQL SERVER views. Thanks.
This query is part of a larger query that updates a table that holds statistics for reporting. It yields actual Unit per Minute by plant by month. Some of the plants don't produce anything in certain months, so I'm ending up with a Divide by Zero error. I think I just need to stick another CASE statement in for each month, but that seems like it could get pretty ugly.
Any suggestions on how to improve this?

hi in a view, i create a field like field1/field2. in case that field2 is zero, i've got division by zero error. how can i change the value to 0 when field2 is 0 for avoiding get error.
It is common for me to need to create ratios from data in my database such as
SELECT ( list_value / sale_price ) as ratio FROM values
The value returned is always an integer whether decimal is cast or not. IE if sale_price is > list_value then 1 or 0 is returned instead of the percentage (ratio) as expected. Only whole numbers are returned. BTW. Same is true in postgres db I have as well. What is it that I am doing wrong?
I have a table in which i have two colums say discription and counts. the table has 10 rows. This table is created by extracting data from other table means its not a table that exist in system.
Now in my last row i want discription as '%mailed' and count as row1/row2

I've got the following SQLSELECT count(*) FROM tablea AJOIN tableb B ON ..etc..WHERE a.string_val = 'test' ANDb.divider 0 ANDa.number 0 AND(a.number / b.divider 0)The b.divider value can be 0, but still I get the division by zeroerror message.I guess the reason is that the database performs the where statementsone at the time?So when performing the division a.number / b.divider it could get 0 inthe divider even if b.divider 0 is also part of the wherestatement??My question is then.. How can I work around this problem? Changing thedatabase to set b.divider always 0 is not an option
I want to do something simple but I don't know how to do it using MDX. IÂ searched a solution on the web but I found nothing. I want to SUM the result of the division of two measures. I tried using the WITH MEMBERÂ Measures.sum_divided AS SUM(x/y) but the result in the cells are all #Error.
Hi to all, Im using SQL Server 2000. If i divide two integer column values, the result i am getting is integer. i.e Update tblStudents SET Percentage=(AttendedClasses/TotalClasses); AttendedClasses,TotalClasses are two column names(Integer). I hav declared Percentage column as float. The result im getting is integer value.. I want the actual float value(i.e Percentage) How to Resolve this?? Help me with this issue.. thanks in advance.
I have a function that divides the results of 2 seperate datafiffs to provide a ratio. For some reason I cannot get the result to return as a decimal - it is only giving me integers. I have tried cast and converting both the idividual numbers and the results, no luck. If I write the query on it's own, casting the one of the values as decimal will return the right value. Any ideas what I am missing? Here is the function:
Create function fn_FTE( @tkpr varchar(5), @start datetime, @end datetime)

@fte decimal
select @fte =
sum(datediff(dd, (case when eedatebeg < @start then @start else eedatebeg end), (case when eedateend > @end then @end when eedateend is null then @end else eedateend end))) /datediff(dd,@start,@end)
from vw_employ_dates where eedatebeg < @end and (eedateend > @start or eedateend is null) and eudescrip = @tkpr

I want to add a column (UNITCOSTINVOICEDMATCHED)that divides TOTALDOLLARSINVOICEDMATCHED/TOTALINVOICEDMATCHED
I inserted the following (which did not work)-
Sum (TOTALDOLLARSINVOICEDMATCHED/TOTALINVOICEDMATCHED) as UNITCOSTINVOICEDMATCHED
error said - TOTALDOLLARSINVOICEDMATCHED column not recognized
The I inserted this statement - thinking I needed another case statement -
Sum(case when pop30310.ponumber = sop60100.ponumber AND pop30310.trxsorce like 'POIVC%' then sum(pop30310.extdcost)/ sum(pop30310.umqtyinb) else 0 end)as UNITCOSTINVOICEDMATCH
this returned the error -
