Snowflake CEIL Function - round up to next 0.1 kilometer - sql

Question

I have a column containing measurement values in meters.
I want to round them up (ceil) them to the next 100m and return it as a km value.
Special thing is: if the original value is a "round" number (100m increment) it should be ceiled up to the next 100m increment (see line 3 in the example below).
Example:
meter_value kilometer_value
1111 1.2
111 0.2
1000 1.1
I think I can get the first two lines by doing:
ceil(meter_value/1000,1) as kilometer_value
The solution I thought of to fix the edge case in line three is to just add 1 meter always:
ceil((meter_value+1)/1000,1) as kilometer_value
It seems a bit clumsy, is there a better way/alternative function to archive this?

Answer 1

You can check to see if it's divisible by 100 and only add one if it is:
ceil(((meter_value + iff(meter_value % 100 = 0, 1, 0))/1000), 1)
This will prevent situations where (if decimal parts are allowed) adding 1 to a value of 999.5 would not be accurate if adding one all the time.

Answer 2

Greg's answer is good, simpler to read to me would be to
divide by 100
floor
add 1
ceil
divide by 10
select
column1 as meter_value
,ceil(((meter_value + iff(meter_value % 100 = 0, 1, 0))/1000), 1) as greg
,ceil(floor(meter_value/100)+1)/10 as simeon
from values
(1111)
,(111)
,(1000)
,(1)
,(0)
;
METER_VALUE

0.2
1,000

0.1
0.1
0
0.1
0.1
do we want to mention negative values? I mean it distance, so it's a directionless magnitude, right?
anyway with negative value, both our methods the +1 forces the boundary case to be wrong.
Actually:
Once you have floored adding the 1 or 0.1 if you divide by 1000 vs 100 first, you don't need to ceil at all
thus two short forms can be:
,ceil(floor(meter_value/100)+1)/10 as version_a
,(floor(meter_value/100)+1)/10 as version_b
,floor(meter_value/1000,1)+0.1 as version_c
