Decimal Point Problem

Jul 29, 2004

I want to force two places to the right of the decimal even if its a whole number.

vbScript

calculatedScore = FormatNumber((rsQFinal("sumEarned") / rsQFinal("sumPossible")) * 100, 2)

I'm not savy enought to know the SQL equivalent of the above but I'd like SQL Server to perform the above rather than my vbScript code.

heres what I have so far but I don't know the formatNumber equivalent:

CREATE PROCEDURE quarterFinalGradeSA @nClass INT, @nQuarter INT, @nStudent INT AS

SELECT (SUM(tblScores.score) / SUM(tblAssignments.assignmentTotalPoints)) AS returnValue

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?

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 Decimal Point To Decimal Comma

Nov 30, 2007

Hi all,

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.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks!

Problem With Decimal Point

Nov 28, 2006

I have got txt file and I am trying to import this file into the database. For that action I use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. I use Locale Czech and CodePage 1250. In the text file is the column in that format: 18152.65 - it is number with decimal point. When I use BCP utility for importing data, I use datatype decimal(10,2) and everything is OK. But when I try to use Import and Export Wizard, I choose for that column datatype numeric (DT_NUMERIC - precision 10, scale 2), the Import doesn't start and occurs the error:

- Executing (Error)

Messages

Change : To Decimal Point In Cast

May 20, 2008

I have the following code:

declare @number nvarchar(50)

set @number = '7:50'

select cast (@number as float)

This gives the error:

Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 8

Error converting data type nvarchar to float.

But if I change the value to '7.50'
it works ok.

Is there any way to get the cast statement to interpret the : as a decimal point?

Thanks,

SQL Server 2012 :: Positions After Decimal Point

Oct 21, 2014

Why are there more decimal positions here

PRINT cast(111 as decimal(38,35)) / 23
--> 4.82608695652173913043478260869565217

then here

DECLARE @Zähler decimal(38,35)
, @Nenner decimal(38,35)
SET @Zähler = 111.0
SET @Nenner = 23.0
PRINT cast(@Zähler as decimal(38,35)) / @Nenner
--> 4.826086

Of course, in the upper part 23 is implicitly an integer, in the lower example it is declared as decimal. But what if I need to devide by 23.5? Why is dividing by an decimal reducing the results decimal positions?

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Trim Values If More Than 2 Numbers After Decimal Point

Jul 23, 2015

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?

Importing Data From Oracle To Sql Loosing Data After The Decimal Point

Jun 18, 2007

I have created a simple package that uses a sql command to pull data from an oracle database and inserts the data into a sql 2005 table. Some of the data fields that i am pulling from contain two digits after the decimal point, however this data is lost when it gets into sql. I have even tried putting the data into a flat file, and still the data is lost.

In the package I have a ole db source connection which is the oracle database and when i do the preview i see all the data I need. I am very confused and tried a number of things to get the data into sql, but none work. Any ideas would be very helpful.

Is Point In Time Recovery To A Point Before The Last Full Database Backup Possible?

Mar 26, 2008

Hello all,

First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.

Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.

Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.

To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.

I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.

My questions are as follows:

a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?

b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).

I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.

Ryan

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?

SQL Server Over Point-to-Point T1

Nov 10, 2006

I'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Decimal Limited To 4 Digits To Right Of Decimal?

Jun 18, 2007

I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.

I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.

It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).

Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???

Thank you for your help!

T-SQL ROUND(decimal, Int) Vs C# Round(Decimal, Int32)

Jan 30, 2006

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

Floating Point Calculations...

Nov 9, 2001

Hello all,

I can't see any reason for this error, not having a high level understanding of maths I thought I'd post it and hope someone could share some light on it.

I yesterday got called by a client who said that a payment for �15 + VAT was being passed to their payment gateway as 17.62 when it should be 17.63. The VAT calculation is performed in a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure. In the end I tracked it down and it wasn't a propblem with my calculation.

The price was coming out as 17.63 fine. The stored procedure then had to return this price in pence (17.63 * 100 = 17.63). When I put in a print statement with this calculation it was correct but when I output the variable that the result was assigned to it was coming out as 1762.

The variable that the result was being put into was of real datatype.

I then wrote a udf to test this. Here is the function:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.POUNDS_TO_PENCE
(
@POUNDVALUE real
)
RETURNS INTEGER
AS
BEGIN

RETURN @POUNDVALUE * 100

END

As you can see nothing very special.

If you run this runction and pass in 17.63 it will return 1762!!!

The bit I don't get is if I change the @POUNDSVALUE intput variable to type float it returns the correct amount.

I've also found that the same problem occurs when passing in �30 + VAT (35.25) + 1pence. So, 35.26 comes out as 3525 instead of 3526. This is the case if you keep doubling the number (and adding a few pence here and there).

Does anyone know why this is or is it a bug in the processor?

The SQL books online say the following about the float and real data types:

--------------------------------------------------------
float and real (T-SQL)
Approximate number data types for use with floating point numeric data. Floating point data is approximate; not all values in the data type range can be precisely represented.

Syntax
float[(n)]
Is a floating point number data from - 1.79E + 308 through 1.79E + 308. n is the number of bits used to store the mantissa of the float number in scientific notation and thus dictates the precision and storage size. n must be a value from 1 through 53.

n is Precision Storage size
1-24 7 digits 4 bytes
25-53 15 digits 8 bytes

The Microsoft� SQL Server� float[(n)] data type conforms to the SQL-92 standard for all values of n from 1 to 53. The synonym for double precision is float(53).

real
Floating point number data from �3.40E + 38 through 3.40E + 38. Storage size is 4 bytes. In SQL Server, the synonym for real is float(24).

--------------------------------------------------------

Apart from the fact that it says 'Approximate number data types' I can't see any difference between the data type apart from the ranges.

Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Point In Time Balances

Aug 31, 2005

Hi, I am pretty new to Analysis Services and I have come across a small problem to do with point in time balances, I guess that this is similar shiver72's post titled 'Date Range Problem'. I am not really after a solution as such (although that would be great :-), more interested in a pointer to some resource(s) which I can read up on myself.

Here is the scenario:

A student enrols into a course that has a start and finish date. This enrolment has a certain value based upon its length, the course type etc which means that each
enrolment's 'value' can vary at any time between the start and finish dates.

For example a student may enrol in a full year basket weaving course with a value of 0.0500, they then enrol in a part year course titled 'Dimensional Modelling 101' with a value of 1.000

...and their enrolments would look like this...

01-JAN-2005 31-DEC-2005 0.0500
02-JAN-2005 15-JUN-2005 1.0000

The client wishes to know at any point in time the 'value' of their enrolments. These values can vary due to a student starting or finishing their enrolment, withdrawing, having their
enrolment suspended etc, etc

Now, in the Data Warehouse Toolkit it mentions point in time balances in the 'Financial Services' section but it uses SQL to prove the point which is no use to me because I am using MS Analysis Services to dynamically create the result.

As it says in the book its no use creating a row in the fact table to represent the value for each day that the enrolment is in effect because with 400,000 enrolments that works out to over 140 million rows. The alternative is to create one row for each occurence of the variation in the value of the enrolment and then the facts would be completely additive and useful.

I would be looking at using something similar to the following:

fact table
----------
fkdate
value
fksudent
fkcourse
<possibly some degenerate measure like the UID of the course enrolment held in the source system>

dimensions
----------
Student - and of course a whole heap of related dimensions like gender, age, ethnicity etc
Course

For example given the above information the fact table would look like this:

(Student UID is 2005123, course UIDs are 1000 and 1001)

20050101 0.0500 2005123 1000
20050102 1.0000 2005123 1001
20050615 -1.0000 2005123 1001
20051231 -0.0500 2005123 1000

That way I can run a query at, say 15-JUN-2005 and sum the values and it will come out with the correct balance - and yes I know that this idea is straight out of the book :-)

OK, if you've read to this point then I take it that you are an extremely patient person and therefore will forgive my next question.

My question is this, my clients use simple tools like Excel pivot tables to gouge the information they want out of the warehouse, sure, I can write an MDX query to get a point in time balance (just as soon as I learn a bit more about it) but is there _any_ way/means/algorithm/trick/way to hold your head to one side, that I can use so that they can still just 'drag and drop' using the pivot table service as opposed to having to me having to create an MDX-based report for them ?

cheers
