View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to format a FLOAT variable into a varchar inSQL Server 2000 but using CAST/CONVERT I can only get scientificnotation i.e. 1e+006 instead of 1000000 which isn't really what Iwanted.Preferably the varchar would display the number to 2 decimal placesbut I'd settle for integers only as this conversion isn't businesscritical and is a nice to have for background information.Casting to MONEY or NUMERIC before converting to a varchar works finefor most cases but of course runs the risk of arithmetic overflow ifthe FLOAT value is too precise for MONEY/NUMERIC to handle. If anyoneknows of an easy way to test whether overflow will occur and thereforeto know not to convert it then that would be an option.I appreciate SQL Server isn't great at formatting and it would be fareasier in the client code but code this is being performed as adescription of a very simple calculation in a trigger, all stored tothe database on the server side so there's no opportunity for clientintervention.Example code:declare @testFloat floatselect @testFloat = 1000000.12select convert(varchar(100),@testFloat) -- gives 1e+006select cast(@testFloat as varchar(100)) -- gives 1e+006select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- gives1000000.12select @testFloat = 12345678905345633453453624453453524.123select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorselect convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as numeric)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorAny suggestions welcome...CheersDave

Hi,

Hi,
I'm converting a query from Access to SQL Server.
In this query I select from a column that contains numbers, the result I want is a varchar that is always 2 chars wide..
Ie:
7 should be selected as '07'
12 should be selected as '12'
In the Access-query it's rather nicely done with:
Format(Str(mycolumn),"00")
I could not find a way to make CONVERT do the same job... but I found that:
LEFT('00',2-LEN(CAST(mycolumn as varchar)))+CAST(mycolumn as varchar)
will do the job.
But it feels like it could be done nicer.. any suggestions?

I am struggling with converting a certain varchar column into an int.I have a table that has 2 fields - one field holds the loan number andthe other field holds the codes associated with that loan number.Here's some example data:Loan# Codes11111 24-13-122222 133333 2-9I need to check the Codes field for certain code numbers. The Selectstatement I'd like to use is:SELECT Loan#FROM Table1 WHERE Codes IN (2, 13, 1)/*My desired results is that all loans from the above example would beselected because they all have one of these codes*/Of course I cannot use the above statement because the Codes field is avarchar. And if I put single quotes around the numbers in my INstatement I don't get the desired results; the fields with multiplecodes are excluded.But how do I convert this varchar to an int? A simple convert or caststatement doesn't work. I've looked all over the web to find how to dothis, but have not been able to figure it out. Any help would be muchappreciated.
