I have the following statement within my select clause;
(([Complt_Emp] + [No_Non_Complt_Emp])/ [No_of_Emp]) as Total_Completed
How do I implement CAST "cast(your_float_column as decimal(10,2))" ? I want my column Total_Completed to show 2 decimal places
I cannot seem to get the correct syntax!
Thank you
the result of the calculation depends of the used columns type.
If you divide int columns, you get int result : 1 / 6 = 0
when you convert each values to decimal the result is: 1 / 6 = 0.1666666666666
Now you want 2 decimal result,so you have to convert/ round the previous result to get the expected value
See fiddle for some example of divide and cast / round : http://sqlfiddle.com/#!18/51785/5
An easy trick can be to use :
round ( 1.0 * ( [Complt_Emp] + [No_Non_Complt_Emp] ) / [No_of_Emp] , 2 )
Cast each expression seperately
CAST(([Complt_Emp] + [No_Non_Complt_Emp]) as decimal(10,2)) /
CAST([No_of_Emp] as decimal(10,2)) as Total_Completed
I suspect all your values are INT. An int divided by an int will return an int.
(([Complt_Emp] + [No_Non_Complt_Emp])/ cast([No_of_Emp] as decimal(10,2)) as Total_Completed
Try this
cast((([Complt_Emp] + [No_Non_Complt_Emp])/ [No_of_Emp]) as decimal(10,2)) as Total_Completed
In an SQL query, I want to convert numeric value to text with minimum no. of decimal places, example if the number is 2.50, then I want output as 2.5; if number is 3, then I want output as 3; if number is 18.75, I want output as 18.75, etc.
How can I achieve this?
EDIT 1:
To give more background, I am dividing 2 numeric values, and want the result in text with minimum required decimal places.
Thanks.
In SQL 2012 and above you can write
SELECT FORMAT(15.0/4.0 , '#.########' )
It uses FORMAT function which uses .NET String.Format functionality.
If want to get 2 decimals for division values, use this
Select case when right(cast ( x/y as decimal(18,2)),1) = 0
then left (cast ( x/y as decimal(18,2)),3)
else cast ( x/y as decimal(18,2)) end ReqOutput
This should do the trick...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TestData', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #TestData;
CREATE TABLE #TestData (
SomeNumber DECIMAL(9,7) NOT NULL
);
INSERT #TestData (SomeNumber) VALUES
(1.2345670), (1), (99.00100), (5.55);
SELECT
td.SomeNumber,
REVERSE(STUFF(rcv.RevCastVarchar, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0.]%', rcv.RevCastVarchar) - 1, ''))
FROM
#TestData td
CROSS APPLY ( VALUES (REVERSE(CAST(td.SomeNumber AS VARCHAR(10)))) ) rcv (RevCastVarchar);

I have a numeric field like 1,3065 and I need that to became like this: 000000000000000130.
I mean 16 integers and 2 decimals, without the comma, adding 0es to the left and, if needed, to the right.
Is there any way to do that with a query?
I think this will work in Sybase:
select right(replicate('0', 16) + cast(cast(field*100 as int) as varchar(255)), 16)
Try this way:
select REPLICATE('0',16-len(cast(cast((1.3065*100) as int) as varchar(16))))+cast(cast((1.3065*100) as int) as varchar(16))
Result of above select:
0000000000000130
If you want approximation you should use FLOOR or CEILING function as below
declare #multiplier int
select #multiplier = 1000
select REPLICATE('0',16-len(cast((floor(1.3065*#multiplier)) as varchar(16))))+cast(floor(1.3065*#multiplier) as varchar(16))
Result of above select:
0000000000001306
You can change an approximation by changing #multiplier. For example if you want result from 1st query you should change #multiplier to 100.
I am getting result as decimal in stored procedure. If I am getting result as 123.45,
I want to split it into 123 and 45. Can anybody help?
use SQL function FLOOR() for getting integer part
and subtract that from the original for the decimal part
You can also make use of ROUND instead of FLOOR.
See section C. Using ROUND to truncate for trucate, and then subtract that from the original.
Be aware that using FLOOR on negative numbers might not give you the required result.
Have a look at this example
DECLARE #Dec DECIMAL(12,8)
SET #Dec = -123.45
SELECT FLOOR(#DEc)
select round(#Dec, 0, 1)
try this;
DECLARE #result DECIMAL(8,2) = 123.45
SELECT CAST(round(#result,0) AS FLOAT)
SELECT REPLACE(#result % 1 ,'0.','')
OR
DECLARE #result decimal(8,2) = 123.45
select PARSENAME(#result, 2) AS LeftSideValue, PARSENAME(#result, 1) AS RightSideValue
I'm trying to determine the best way to truncate or drop extra decimal places in SQL without rounding. For example:
declare #value decimal(18,2)
set #value = 123.456
This will automatically round #value to be 123.46, which is good in most cases. However, for this project, I don't need that. Is there a simple way to truncate the decimals I don't need? I know I can use the left() function and convert back to a decimal. Are there any other ways?
ROUND ( 123.456 , 2 , 1 )
When the third parameter != 0 it truncates rather than rounds.
Syntax
ROUND ( numeric_expression , length [ ,function ] )
Arguments
numeric_expression
Is an expression of the exact numeric or approximate numeric data
type category, except for the bit data type.
length
Is the precision to which numeric_expression is to be rounded. length must be an expression of type tinyint, smallint, or int. When length is a positive number, numeric_expression is rounded to the number of decimal positions specified by length. When length is a negative number, numeric_expression is rounded on the left side of the decimal point, as specified by length.
function
Is the type of operation to perform. function must be tinyint, smallint, or int. When function is omitted or has a value of 0 (default), numeric_expression is rounded. When a value other than 0 is specified, numeric_expression is truncated.
select round(123.456, 2, 1)
SELECT Cast(Round(123.456,2,1) as decimal(18,2))
Here's the way I was able to truncate and not round:
select 100.0019-(100.0019%.001)
returns 100.0010
And your example:
select 123.456-(123.456%.001)
returns 123.450
Now if you want to get rid of the ending zero, simply cast it:
select cast((123.456-(123.456%.001)) as decimal (18,2))
returns 123.45
Actually whatever the third parameter is, 0 or 1 or 2, it will not round your value.
CAST(ROUND(10.0055,2,0) AS NUMERIC(10,2))
Do you want the decimal or not?
If not, use
select ceiling(#value),floor(#value)
If you do it with 0 then do a round:
select round(#value,2)
Another truncate with no rounding solution and example.
Convert 71.950005666 to a single decimal place number (71.9)
1) 71.950005666 * 10.0 = 719.50005666
2) Floor(719.50005666) = 719.0
3) 719.0 / 10.0 = 71.9
select Floor(71.950005666 * 10.0) / 10.0
Round has an optional parameter
Select round(123.456, 2, 1) will = 123.45
Select round(123.456, 2, 0) will = 123.46
ROUND(number, decimals, operation)
number => Required. The number to be rounded
decimals => Required. The number of decimal places to round number to
operation => Optional. If 0, it rounds the result to the number of decimal. If another value than 0, it truncates the result to the number of decimals. Default value is 0
SELECT ROUND(235.415, 2, 1)
will give you 235.410
SELECT ROUND(235.415, 0, 1)
will give you 235.000
But now trimming0 you can use cast
SELECT CAST(ROUND(235.415, 0, 1) AS INT)
will give you 235
This will remove the decimal part of any number
SELECT ROUND(#val,0,1)
SELECT CAST(Value as Decimal(10,2)) FROM TABLE_NAME;
Would give you 2 values after the decimal point. (MS SQL SERVER)
Another way is ODBC TRUNCATE function:
DECLARE #value DECIMAL(18,3) =123.456;
SELECT #value AS val, {fn TRUNCATE(#value, 2)} AS result
LiveDemo
Output:
╔═════════╦═════════╗
║ val ║ result ║
╠═════════╬═════════╣
║ 123,456 ║ 123,450 ║
╚═════════╩═════════╝
Remark:
I recommend using built-in ROUND function with 3rd parameter set to 1.
I know this is pretty late but I don't see it as an answer and have been using this trick for years.
Simply subtract .005 from your value and use Round(#num,2).
Your example:
declare #num decimal(9,5) = 123.456
select round(#num-.005,2)
returns 123.45
It will automatically adjust the rounding to the correct value you are looking for.
By the way, are you recreating the program from the movie Office Space?
Try like this:
SELECT cast(round(123.456,2,1) as decimal(18,2))
If you desire to take some number like 89.0904987 and turn it into 89.09 by simply omitting the undesired decimal places, simply use the following:
select cast(yourColumnName as decimal(18,2))
The following screenshot is from W3Schools SQL Data Types section, which describes what decimal(18,2) is doing:
Therefore,
select cast(89.0904987 as decimal(18,2))
gives you: 89.09
Please try to use this code for converting 3 decimal values after a point into 2 decimal places:
declare #val decimal (8, 2)
select #val = 123.456
select #val = #val
select #val
The output is 123.46
I think you want only the decimal value,
in this case you can use the following:
declare #val decimal (8, 3)
SET #val = 123.456
SELECT #val - ROUND(#val,0,1)
I know this question is really old but nobody used sub-strings to round. This as advantage the ability to round really long numbers (limit of your string in SQL server which is usually 8000 characters):
SUBSTRING('123.456', 1, CHARINDEX('.', '123.456') + 2)
I think we can go much easier with simpler example solution found in Hackerrank:
Problem statement: Query the greatest value of the Northern Latitudes
(LAT_N) from STATION that is less than 137.2345. Truncate your answer
to 4 decimal places.
SELECT TRUNCATE(MAX(LAT_N),4)
FROM STATION
WHERE LAT_N < 137.23453;
Solution Above gives you idea how to simply make value limited to 4 decimal points. If you want to lower or upper the numbers after decimal, just change 4 to whatever you want.
Mod(x,1) is the easiest way I think.
select convert(int,#value)
