Trying To Get The Remainder Of A Decimal By Using Formula On A Field

Dec 22, 2005

Hello Everyone,

Here is my situation.

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).

Any ideas on how i can get the results i want?

Counting Field Totals As A Formula

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,I'm trying to count field login totals for users which updates another fieldin another table. Which is the most efficient method?I don't want to use a standard query as it will take too long if there are1000 users per company each with 1000 plus logins.I was thinking in terms of either a function, or a formula (using the built-in formula field within mssql).the query though (as its the only way which i'm familiar) is:SELECT SUM(NumberOfLogons) AS TotalLogonsFROM EmployerProfileDB39WHERE (CompanyName = x) AND (EmployerID = y)how would i write this as a formula or as a function?

Select Top 3 And Then Group Remainder

Dec 2, 2011

I have an aggregated table called T1 which looks like this:

Code:

Name Amount
a 10
b -4
c 9
d 5
e 0
f 0
g 8
h 3
i 3

I need to write a query which selects the top 3 names by amount which have an amount greater than 0. The remaining names which have amounts greater than 0 should be grouped together as 'others' at the bottom. Finally I need to add a total row. So the final result I am looking for is:

Code:
Name Amount
a 10
c 9
g 8
others 11
total 38

The part I'm struggling with is how to collapse the remaining names into the 'others' group.

Update A Decimal Field To 0

Jun 12, 2001

Hello,

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 -

Update Table1
Set [Decimal Field1] = 0,
[Decimal Field2] = 0,
[Decimal Field3] = 0

is taking forever (1+ hours) to run.

Either I may be doing something stupid here or I am missing
something vital.

Thanks for any help.

Decimal Field Is Rounding Up My Numbers

Feb 4, 2006

Hi,
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.

Format Field With Decimal Places

Apr 11, 2007

Hi all,

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)

Cheers

Rob.

Problem Importing Data From Flat File Into Decimal(10,2) Field

Problem importing data from flat file into decimal(9,2) field. The data in the flat file is 000001453 and I am copying it to a decimal(10,2) field and instead of showing up in the 0000014.53 it comes across as 0001453.00. I tried defining the input columns a few different ways but none seemed to work. How do I do this with SSIS or do I need to write a SP and use convert? Thanks.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Arithmetic Overflow Error Converting Varchar To Data Type Numeric Message When Field Is Decimal

Apr 3, 2014

I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.

Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.

case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.

[code]....

I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.

Data Type With Decimal Point For Decimal Values But Not For Whole Integers

Dec 8, 2013

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?

Converting (casting) From Decimal(24,4) To Decimal(21,4) Data Type Problem

Jul 24, 2006

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,

How Can I Use The Decimal Comma Instead Of Decimal Point For Numbers In Jet Engine?

Sep 19, 2007

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)

Converting A Decimal Date Value To Date Field

Feb 4, 2015

I am trying to convert a decimal date value to a date value that I can use in formulas but am having a lot of trouble.My date value currently shows in decimal format YYYYMMDD. I want to convert this to a date so I can then find the number of days between two dates.I have tried convert (datetime, convert(varchar(8),left(qhstdt,8))) with qhstdt as my decimal date field but I receive the error message below:

Error: SQL0204 - CONVERT in *LIBL type *N not found.

I have also tried converting it using (year(QHSTDT)*10000+100*month(QHSTDT)+ day(QHSTDT))) but when I convert the dates using this formula, I can get an incorrect number of days when I try to subtract one from the other.What formula can I use to convert my YYYYMMDD field to a format that will allow me to compare number of days between two dates?
