Computer Generates Wrong Answer Of Decimal Values
Feb 23, 2008
hi,
i'm using the following code to generate the value of a column in a database, where the colums value is dependent upon the multiplication of two other cells in the same row. When I execute the statement, it will work fine for whole numbers, but it does not work correctly for decimal values. All columns are of type varchar(50). An exmple.................It just multiplied 200 by 2.50 and returned 600
SqlCommand objCmd2 = new SqlCommand("UPDATE Portfolio SET Current_Worth=Current_Price*Number_Of_Shares WHERE Name_Of_Asset LIKE '%'+@Name_Of_Asset+'%'", objConn);
objCmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name_Of_Asset", DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
objConn.Open();
objCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
objConn.Close();
Any ideas?

Hi everybody,
I found the following bug in Management Studio:
I add an article with sp_addarticle and a value of 0x00 for @schema_option or via the wizard with all article properties set to false.
Then I script the publication to a file. The result contains a sp_addarticle statement with @schema_option = 0x0000000000004071, which must be wrong.
To prove that I recreated the article with the generated script and checked the article properties. As I feared 4 of the properties ('Copy clustered index', 'Copy nonclustered index', 'Copy unique key constaints' and 'Convert data types') are set to true!
Is this a known bug ?

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?

Hi
My C# application has a DataGridView which is bound to a DataSet. I used Visual Studio to add/configure the data source. Everything works fine on my computer. When I try to run the application on another computer I can't connect to the database, because it uses a wrong connection string.
How can I make a specific connection/connection string permanent for a specific application?
Thanks.

I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values

Hi,
I'm loading millions of rows into a database table. This data contains a lot of dedcimal values of 4 or 6 decimal places somtimes more.
I've found that storing them as floats is inaccurate, and I'm storing as decimals of the appropriate length.
I'm concerned whether this is the right way to do this ?
Can anyone make any suggestions, perhaps an article that I should take a look at ?

The values that are being fetched from the database are not being read as is , when there are decimal values with 10 or more digits after the point, the values are truncated (approximated) to 8 digits
The approximation is not consistent in all the cases
Some times depending on the numbers for example 0.434000001 is truncated to 0.434.
This is happening when i read the values from the sql database using the SqlDataReader.GetValue method into an ArrayList in C# .NET

Hi All,
I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.
So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.
Please help.
Thanks,
Zee

Hi
I have an SQL search that is converting two values to type money. I want it to show two digits after the decimal point but am getting inconsistent results. The first value is as follows:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost as originalcost (the column is datatype money)
This displays correctly i.e. 2000.00 or 150.70 etc
The second value is this:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost + tblUpgrades.ItemCost as totalcostincupgr (both columns are datatype money)
But this displays as 2000 or 150.7
How can I get the second value to show two decimal places even when the digits are zeros?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I want to find out if a ceratin column has values with decimal figures populated? for example say column A has values
10.00
20.00
30.00
50.01
in this case the query should let me know that there is one figure (50.01) with a actual decimal value. So the results of the query should be 1 (since one record has decimal figures <>.00)
Cananyone help

I've got this sql statement that keeps returning the wrong data. (it's related to a previous post, but is different)
Code:
SELECT C.NAME, OL.PART_ID, SL.SHIPPED_QTY
FROM CUSTOMER C
INNER JOIN USERS U ON C.ID = U.ID
INNER JOIN ORDERS O ON C.ID = O.ID
INNER JOIN ORDER_LINE OL ON O.ID = OL.ORDER_ID
[Code] .....
The qry pulls like this: (wrong way)
HTML Code:
company partID Qty
Acme Inc ABC123 3
Acme Inc ABC123 4
Acme Inc ABC123 100
Acme Inc KLM444 3
Acme Inc KLM444 4
Acme Inc KLM444 100
Acme Inc QRP456 3
Acme Inc QRP456 4
Acme Inc QRP456 100
It should be:
HTML Code:
Co. part Qty
Acme Inc ABC123 3
Acme Inc KLM444 4
Acme Inc QRP456 100
The Qty field has duplicates. I've tried various ways, but I cannot make this work.

I have following select-statement:
select [date], [close], AVG([close]) over (order by [date] rows between 2 preceding and current row ) as [ma]
from dax2
My Problem is that the first 2 rows in column [ma] are not correct. They Show a value since it is not a 3 days average. In the first row in column [ma]is the same value as in [Close]. In the second row in column [ma] is the average value of the first and second value of column [Close].
How can i achieve that this "erroneous" values are not inserted or rather are shown as null.

Anyone seen wrong values returned from a CLR update trigger when using the columncount property?
I have a 6-column table that I was experimenting on, and the isupdatedcolumn property was not returning true on the one column I was updating (I verfied the trigger was firing). So, I returned the columncount property in a pipe.send, and was surprised to see the value of 11. When I looped through each column's isupdatedcolumn property, the only column that returned true was column 9.
Then I remembered this table used to have more columns, so I conducted the following experiment:
Added a new column to the table (bringing the total number of columns to 7).
Executed an update the caused the trigger to fire; columncount sent to the pipe returned 12.
Deleted the column.
Executed another update that caused the trigger to fire; columncount returned 12.
Added another column to the table.
Executed an update the caused the trigger to fire; columncount sent to the pipe returned 13.
Deleted the column.
Executed another update that caused the trigger to fire; columncount returned 13.
See the pattern? I'm fairly perplexed. Anyone seen this or something similar? This table is in a database that was migrated from SQL 2000 to 2005 and is 9.0 compatibility mode.
Thanks,

The string column value looks like as below. Each value has a size of 15 withing a string
'2.2020 30 4.0000'
The column value should match with user input as below. The result should show equal when it is compared. Currently, it results not equal since it is a string comparision. The last digit '0' needs to be ignored for decimal values.
'2.202 30 4.0'
I need to handle the decimal values in such a way, if staring value with '.' and last digit is 0 then replace with space ''. So, it should look like
'2 2 2 30 4 ' = '2 2 2 30 4 '
When this string is compared, it results in EQUAL.
I tried the below logic, which even replaces the integer value like 30 to 3 and 3000 to 3 and results in equal which is incorrect.
RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(RT1.rate,'''+@DOT+''','''+@S PACE+'''), '''+@ZERO+''', '''+@SPACE+''')) = '''+REPLACE(REPLACE(@Rate,'.',' '), '0', ' ')+''' '
Ex:'2.2020 300 4.00' = '2.20200 30 4.0'
After replace, string looks like
Ex:'2 2 2 3 4 ' = '2 2 2 3 4 '
It results as EQUAL which is incorrect. I need only decimal value to be replaced not integer.
I am looking for a single string replace logic.

Hi,
When i try to insert a value in to a field of datatype float(8), it is storing the wrong values(approximate values).
For example, if i try to insert 2.62 , it takes it as 2.6200000000000001
But i can see the correct values displayed in the frontend.
Heard that there is a fix available for this issue.

I am importing an excel spreadsheet into a MS SQL database table. When the spreadsheet is finished importing, I am noticing that some values that were brought in resemble something like this 1.41666666666667. Other values may be shorter or only have 1 digit. The problem is another web application that pulls this data for use in online forms only allows up to 2 digits. How can I round all of the numbers like the above to 2 decimals and replace the existing values?
I know there is the rounding function that could be used like so:
SELECT ROUND ([Hrs Total 2],2)
FROM AnnualClassifiedPAFs
How do I then take that rounded value and insert it back into the records?

Create report with SharePoint list. Columns are displaying on the report I used out of the group SUM function and it is group by report. one group total is showing correct total and other groups are showing wrong total and showing too much big value even there is whole column is empty.where value is not in column I am using "-" with IIF function. these columns are calculating by using date difference function between two date columns. these values coming with minus value . so ABS function is also using.
Columns calculation expression:
=IIF(ISNOTHING(Fields!DateCAPackage.Value)
OR (ISNOTHING(Fields!Date_CA_Application.Value)) ,
"-" , CINT(Abs(DateDiff("d",Fields!Date_CA_Application.Value,Fields!DateCAPackage.Value))))
Total calculation expression:
=Sum(ABS(DateDiff(
"d",Fields!Date_CA_Application.Value,Fields!DateCAPackage.Value)))

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)
