I want to format a number, a decimal, with 2 figures afther the "," but all I get is zeroes behind it. It works if I replace "cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId)" by 12.12 for example, 12,12 does not work... It driving me crazy
dim cart = New ShoppingCartDB()
TotalweightLbl.Text = string.Format("{0:n}", cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId))
WHERE
ShoppingCart.CartID = @CartID
AND
Products.ProductID = ShoppingCart.ProductID
GO
the function....
Public Function GetTotalweight (ByVal cartID As String) As Decimal
' Create Instance of Connection and Command Object
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("CMRC_ShoppingCartTotalweigh", myConnection)
' Mark the Command as a SPROC
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
' Add Parameters to SPROC
Dim parameterCartID As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@CartID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50)
parameterCartID.Value = cartID
myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterCartID)
Dim parameterTotalweight As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@Totalweight", SqlDbType.decimal, )
parameterTotalweight.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterTotalweight)
' Open the connection and execute the Command
myConnection.Open()
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
myConnection.Close()
' Return the Total
If parameterTotalweight.Value.ToString() <> "" Then
Return parameterTotalweight.Value
Else
Return 0
End If
Hi, i need to display my data in 2 decimal places but now i'm getting results after some calculation (for eg. 2.336224). How can i round it off to 2.34?
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)
I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
I'm trying to get a calculation based on count(*) to format as a decimal value or percentage.
I keep getting 0s for the solution_rejected_percent column. How can I format this like 0.50 (for 50%)?
select mi.id, count(*) as cnt, count(*) + 1 as cntplusone, cast(count(*) / (count(*) + 1) as numeric(10,2)) as solution_rejected_percent from metric_instance mi INNER JOIN incident i on i.number = mi.id WHERE mi.definition = 'Solution Rejected' AND i.state = 'Closed' group by mi.id
I want to change decimal precision dynamically without rounding value
For example
10.56788 value for 2 decimal precision is 10.56. 10.56788 value for 3 decimal precision is 10.567. ---CASE 1 without dynamic parameter--------- DECLARE @DECIMALVALUE AS tinyint SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(10,2),500000.565356) As Amount
[Code] ....
I am getting error as follows......
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near '@DECIMALVALUE'
This decimal precision format value will vary company to company ...
in my sql, i want to change a decimal number to percent format number, just so it is convenient for users. for example there is a decimal number 0.98, i want to change it to 98%, how can i complete it?
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? (with jet if it possible) iviczl
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 set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
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
dear all can anybody help me soon.... i am using visual studio 2005 webapplication based on sql server 2005 database. i can get one date from sql using one query. I am selecting my field based on following code CONVERT(varchar, Oman.Positions.Datum, 9) AS LastUpdate this case my output is May 4 2008 3:19:45:000AM..... this output is correct but from this output i want to avoid millisecond part. ie i want the output like May 4 2008 3:19:45 AM.... how i can do this regards
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
