In SQL Server, I have a query that returns a value of 177200. I need this value represented as 1772.00 as the last 2 digits are past the decimal. The query below is adding .00 to the end of the full value. I have no experience in this type of SQL statement. Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT
STR(SUM(ActualPrice), 10, 2) AS Total, Department
FROM
#DepartmentSalesData
GROUP BY
Department
The data type you're looking for is called numeric
SELECT CAST(SUM(ActualPrice) / 100.0 AS numeric(18, 2)) AS Total, ...
FROM ...
You're passing in a precision (18 in my example) and a scale 2 in my example, as requested by you.

I work on SQL server 2012 I face issue :i can't get first max value from value Unit based on First value before comma .
as example This value Unit below :
1.89, 2.625, 3.465
I will get first value before comma separated as 1.89 then if this number is max value return full number
exist on Value Unit
create table #finaltable
(
partid int,
ValueUnit nvarchar(50)
)
insert into #finaltable(partid,ValueUnit)
values
(2532,'1.71, 2.375, 3.135'),
(2532,'1.89, 2.625, 3.465')
select * from #finaltable
How to get first max value from field ValueUnit based on first value before comma separated ?
Expected Result returned :
1.89, 2.625, 3.465
because 1.89 is maximum number from 1.71 then I returned full number
I agree with the comments, your design is bad. For more on that, you should also read "Is storing a delimited list in a database column really that bad?".
But well, you can use patindex() to get the position of the comma and then extract the first number representation with left(). convert() it to some decimal, order by it and take the TOP 1 row.
SELECT TOP 1
*
FROM #finaltable
ORDER BY convert(decimal(4, 3), left(valueunit, patindex('%,%', valueunit) - 1)) DESC;
You may need to tweak the conversion to a decimal. I don't know what maximum length and precision you may need.
I am trying to filter out some query results to where it only shows items with 6 decimal places. I don't need it to round up or add 0's to the answer, just filter out anything that is 5 decimal places or below. My current query looks like this: (ex. if item is 199.54215 i dont want to see it but if it is 145.253146 i need it returned)
select
TRA_CODPLANTA,
TRA_WO,
TRA_IMASTER,
tra_codtipotransaccion,
tra_Correlativo,
TRA_INGRESOFECHA,
abs(tra_cantidadparcial) as QTY
from mw_tra_transaccion
where FLOOR (Tra_cantidadparcial*100000) !=tra_cantidadparcial*100000
and substring(tra_imaster,1,2) not in ('CP','SG','PI','MR')
and TRA_CODPLANTA not in ('4Q' , '5C' , '5V' , '8H' , '7W' , 'BD', 'DP')
AND tra_INGRESOFECHA > #from_date
and abs(tra_cantidadparcial) > 0.00000
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Here is an example with ROUND, which seems to be the ideal function to use, since it remains in the realms of numbers. If you have at most 5 decimal places, then rounding to 5 decimal places will leave the value unchanged.
create table #test (Tra_cantidadparcial decimal(20,10));
INSERT #test (Tra_cantidadparcial) VALUES (1),(99999.999999), (1.000001), (45.000001), (45.00001);
SELECT * FROM #test WHERE ROUND(Tra_cantidadparcial,5) != Tra_cantidadparcial;
drop table #test
If your database values are VARCHAR and exist in the DB like so:
100.123456
100.1
100.100
You can achieve this using a wildcard LIKE statement example
WHERE YOUR_COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
This will being anything containing a decimal place followed by AT LEAST 6 numeric values
Here is an example using a conversion to varchar and using the LEN - the CHARINDEX of the decimal point, I'm not saying this is the best way, but you did ask for an example in syntax, so here you go:
--Temp Decimal value holding up to 10 decimal places and 10 whole number places
DECLARE #temp DECIMAL(20, 10) = 123.4565432135
--LEN returns an integer number of characters in the converted varchar
--CHARINDEX returns the integer location of the decimal where it is found in the varchar
--IF the number of characters left after subtracting the index of the decimal from the length of the varchar is greater than 5,
--you have more than 6 decimal places
IF LEN(CAST(#temp AS varchar(20))) - CHARINDEX('.', CAST(#temp AS varchar(20)), 0) > 5
SELECT 1
ELSE
SELECT 0
Here is a shorthand way.
WHERE (LEN(CONVERT(DOUBLE PRECISION, FieldName % 1)) - 2) >=5
One way would be to convert / cast that column to a lower precision. Doing this would cause automatic rounding, but that would show you if it is 6 decimals or not based on the last digit. If the last digit of the converted value is 0, then it's false, otherwise it's true.
declare #table table (v decimal(11,10))
insert into #table
values
(1.123456789),
(1.123456),
(1.123),
(1.123405678)
select
v
,cast(v as decimal(11,5)) --here, we are changing the value to have a precision of 5. Notice the rounding.
,right(cast(v as decimal(11,5)),1) --this is taking the last digit. If it's 0, we don't want it
from #table
Thus, your where clause would simply be.
where right(cast(tra_cantidadparcial as decimal(11,5)),1) > 0
I have an amount field which is decimal(13,5) in SQl Server.
So it takes values like 22.23456 (5 values after decimals)
Now i want to limit the decimal places based on condition like below:
for 22.23456, result should be 22.24
for 22.20001, result should be 22.21
for 22.20000, result should be 22.20
for 22.00000, result should be 22.00
So if there is any number other than 0 after 2nd decimal place(in 1st ex:4),just increase the value 2nd decimal value by 1.(22.2345 to 22.24)
Is there any function or do we need to use length type functions to achieve this?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Since you want the highest value in the hundredths position using standard rounding will not work. You can however use a little math and CEILING to accomplish.
with MyValues(SomeValue) as
(
select 22.23456 union all
select 22.20001 union all
select 22.20000 union all
select 22.00000
)
select cast(ceiling(SomeValue * 100) / 100. as numeric(9,2)) as MyResult
from MyValues

I have to count the digits after the decimal point in a database hosted by a MS Sql Server (2005 or 2008 does not matter), in order to correct some errors made by users.
I have the same problem on an Oracle database, but there things are less complicated.
Bottom line is on Oracle the select is:
select length( substr(to_char(MY_FIELD), instr(to_char(MY_FILED),'.',1,1)+1, length(to_char(MY_FILED)))) as digits_length
from MY_TABLE
where the filed My_filed is float(38).
On Ms Sql server I try to use:
select LEN(SUBSTRING(CAST(MY_FIELD AS VARCHAR), CHARINDEX('.',CAST(MY_FILED AS VARCHAR),1)+1, LEN(CAST(MY_FIELD AS VARCHAR)))) as digits_length
from MY_TABLE
The problem is that on MS Sql Server, when i cast MY_FIELD as varchar the float number is truncated by only 2 decimals and the count of the digits is wrong.
Can someone give me any hints?
Best regards.
SELECT
LEN(CAST(REVERSE(SUBSTRING(STR(MY_FIELD, 13, 11), CHARINDEX('.', STR(MY_FIELD, 13, 11)) + 1, 20)) AS decimal))
from TABLE
I have received from my friend a very simple solution which is just great. So I will post the workaround in order to help others in the same position as me.
First, make function:
create FUNCTION dbo.countDigits(#A float) RETURNS tinyint AS
BEGIN
declare #R tinyint
IF #A IS NULL
RETURN NULL
set #R = 0
while #A - str(#A, 18 + #R, #r) <> 0
begin
SET #R = #R + 1
end
RETURN #R
END
GO
Second:
select MY_FIELD,
dbo.countDigits(MY_FIELD)
from MY_TABLE
Using the function will get you the exact number of digits after the decimal point.
The first thing is to switch to using CONVERT rather than CAST. The difference is, with CONVERT, you can specify a format code. CAST uses whatever the default format code is:
When expression is float or real, style can be one of the values shown in the following table. Other values are processed as 0.
None of the formats are particularly appealing, but I think the best for you to use would be 2. So it would be:
CONVERT(varchar(25),MY_FIELD,2)
This will, unfortunately, give you the value in scientific notation and always with 16 digits e.g. 1.234567890123456e+000. To get the number of "real" digits, you need to split this number apart, work out the number of digits in the decimal portion, and offset it by the number provided in the exponent.
And, of course, insert usual caveats/warnings about trying to talk about digits when dealing with a number which has a defined binary representation. The number of "digits" of a particular float may vary depending on how it was calculated.
I'm not sure about speed. etc or the elegance of this code. it was for some ad-hoc testing to find the first decimal value . but this code could be changed to loop through all the decimals and find the last time a value was greater than zero easily.
DECLARE #NoOfDecimals int = 0
Declare #ROUNDINGPRECISION numeric(32,16) = -.00001000
select #ROUNDINGPRECISION = ABS(#ROUNDINGPRECISION)
select #ROUNDINGPRECISION = #ROUNDINGPRECISION - floor(#ROUNDINGPRECISION)
while #ROUNDINGPRECISION < 1
Begin
select #NoOfDecimals = #NoOfDecimals +1
select #ROUNDINGPRECISION = #ROUNDINGPRECISION * 10
end;
select #NoOfDecimals
Using T-SQL and Microsoft SQL Server I would like to specify the number of decimal digits when I do a division between 2 integer numbers like:
select 1/3
That currently returns 0. I would like it to return 0,33.
Something like:
select round(1/3, -2)
But that doesn't work. How can I achieve the desired result?
The suggestions from stb and xiowl are fine if you're looking for a constant. If you need to use existing fields or parameters which are integers, you can cast them to be floats first:
SELECT CAST(1 AS float) / CAST(3 AS float)
or
SELECT CAST(MyIntField1 AS float) / CAST(MyIntField2 AS float)
Because SQL Server performs integer division. Try this:
select 1 * 1.0 / 3
This is helpful when you pass integers as params.
select x * 1.0 / y
It's not necessary to cast both of them. Result datatype for a division is always the one with the higher data type precedence. Thus the solution must be:
SELECT CAST(1 AS float) / 3
or
SELECT 1 / CAST(3 AS float)
use
select 1/3.0
This will do the job.
I understand that CASTing to FLOAT is not allowed in MySQL and will raise an error when you attempt to CAST(1 AS float) as stated at MySQL dev.
The workaround to this is a simple one. Just do
(1 + 0.0)
Then use ROUND to achieve a specific number of decimal places like
ROUND((1+0.0)/(2+0.0), 3)
The above SQL divides 1 by 2 and returns a float to 3 decimal places, as in it would be 0.500.
One can CAST to the following types: binary, char, date, datetime, decimal, json, nchar, signed, time, and unsigned.
Looks like this trick works in SQL Server and is shorter (based in previous answers)
SELECT 1.0*MyInt1/MyInt2
Or:
SELECT (1.0*MyInt1)/MyInt2
Use this
select cast((1*1.00)/3 AS DECIMAL(16,2)) as Result
Here in this sql first convert to float or multiply by 1.00 .Which output will be a float number.Here i consider 2 decimal places. You can choose what you need.
If you came here (just like me) to find the solution for integer value, here is the answer:
CAST(9/2 AS UNSIGNED)
returns 5
I was surprised to see select 0.7/0.9 returning 0.8 in Teradata given they're already as floats/decimal numbers! I had to do cast(0.7 as float) to get the output that I was after.
When using literals, the best way is to "tell" SQL
which type you mean.
if you want a decimal result, add decimal point ".0" to your numbers:
SELECT 1.0 / 3.0
Result
0.333333
if you want a float (real) result, add "e0" to your numbers:
SELECT 1e0 / 3e0
Result
0.333333333333333
