How To Average Real Numbers ?
Oct 16, 2007
Hello, I have a very strange problem.
I have DB with type real numbers, I want to calculate the average using a select query with average function.
I get a fault answer.
Here is an example :
--- CODE START HERE ---
create table #table (data real)
insert #table values(2.994589)
insert #table values(2.994861)
insert #table values(2.994921)
-- You can see the real values show all the 6 digits after the point
select * from #table
-- This is the correct average
select sum(2.994589+2.994861+2.994921)/3
-- This is a fault answer
select avg(data) as average from #table
--- CODE END HERE ---
What am I doing wrong ?
I want to understand the mistake the SQL is doing and replicate it outside the SQL, do you know what going on in the way the SQL calculates the average on type real ?
BTW, if the the table definitions are : create table #table (data float) , the sql gives the right number...
Thanks,
Rann.
Working With Decimals In User Defined Funtions
Jul 25, 2005I am trying to get a decimal value from this simple user defined function, but it is not working. CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GETANSWERRETURNS decimal(6,2)ASBEGIN DECLARE @Result decimal(6,2)
SELECT @Result = 10 / 4
RETURN @Result
ENDThe real answer is 2.5, but I keep getting 2. Also, if I replace 10 / 4 with 3 / 4, I get the answer 0. I tried several things like changing decimal to numeric and still get the same results.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSql SORT Order Not Working On Numbers?
Jul 20, 2005Hello all... I'm using asp to get records from an access database, verysimilar to the way datagrid would work. The title of each column in my tableis a link that alternates the sort order between ascending and descending...my problem is that text WILL change its sort order just fine but nubers arenot always in order. ie: if sort order is ASC (ascending) I might see 2000,234, 789 (should be ordered but its not). I'm guessing that ASP is handingthe string as a text string (?) and getting confused, is there a way toforce ASP into treating the string as numerals if this is the case? anyother ideas? Thanks so much.here is one of my sql commands in case you want to see it. "sort" is avariable containing the recordset to sort by depending on which link isclicked. I hope I didn't confuse the whole issue because of a lack ofcaffiene over here :)strsql = "SELECT * FROM comments ORDER BY " & sort & " DESC"Thanks of the help, much appreciated.Eno

Dataflow To Excel - Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers Excel Cell Error
Mar 27, 2007I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTrimming Decimals
Aug 17, 2005I have a field in my SQL table that is defined Decimal(10,8), which
provides me with the ability to have up to 8 digits after the decimal
place, however, if I store a value such as 3.14, it is stored as
3.14000000. This is fine in the database, but it is the same when it's
returned. I have tried using Convert.ToDecimal on my returned row but
it doesn't work. The value at runtime appears as 3.14D in the locals
window but displays with all the insignifcant digits.
Any ideas what's happening or if there is an easy way to trim the trailing zeros?

May 31, 2007I have two fields whose format in the table is decimal (14,5).
I now have to divide one field by the other, and I want the result
to be in the format decimal (21,16).
Whatever I do I'm not able to get this result with sixteen decimals.
I tried with dec(Field1,21,16)/Field2 but it yields six decimals.
I tried with dec(Field1,21,16)/Field2 but it yields an integer.
I tried other ways but I always get a result which is made of maximum

Truncated Decimals
Jan 16, 2006I am relatively new to SQL server. I am tring to send some decimalvalues to the database using a stored procedure with parameters of typeDECIMAL. Every time it inserts the values into the database thedecimals are truncated. I saw on the MSDN library that you have to setthe precision and scale values b/f you run the stored procedure. So Iset the precision to 8 and the scale to 4 and it still didn't help. Cananyone help me?

Updateing DECIMALs With DB-Library
Aug 18, 2004Hello,
I have encountered a problem doing an update on a Field defined as DECIMAL with dbcursor().
I have opened a cursor with dbcursoropen() with option LOCK_CC set. Then I have bound some char variables to CHAR Fields with STRINGBIND and some double Variables to the DECIMAL fields with FLT8BIND.
When I read the cursor, the data is correct in the bound variables. But when I do an update, all data for the numeric fields are gone and the database contains only NULL Values. The Strings are updated correctly.
I have tried to set the length, I am using the poutlen-variables with a value other than 0, but nothing helps.
Does anyone have an idea about what can I do?
Thank You in advance.

Handling Decimals In Creation Of Table
Sep 29, 2014I have a table I am trying to create and one of the columns needs to have a decimal that appears as 00.00 and does not round because the data example is 87.09, 86.50, 98.55 etc. I have tried every type of decimal formatting when creating I can find and nothing has worked. When I create the table and upload the data it keeps rounding like this: 87.00, 87.00, 99.00
The only way it does not round is if I do it as a char but that does not seem right when dealing with numerics.

The result in the database is 0.How do I define a field to show the full value with decimal positions?If I enter .0007 into the field through the Enterprise Manager, it shows0007. When I update by dividing, it shows 0.Any help would be welcome.Joel*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
