I want to put comma in numbers for varchar type with single decimal point with no roundup.
For example:
DECLARE #val varchar(50) = '12345.999'
I want result as :
12,345.9
So far I have tried:
select convert(VARCHAR(15), cast(#val as money), 1)
Result: 12,346.00
but it is doing rounding the value.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
DECLARE #val varchar(50) = '12345.999'
SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),CAST(#val AS MONEY),1),CHARINDEX('.',#val)-3) + SUBSTRING(#val,CHARINDEX('.',#val)-3,5)
Perhaps this will work. Just use the LEFT() function a couple of times after casting to MONEY and VARCHAR
DECLARE #val VARCHAR(50) = '12345.99999'
SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),CAST(LEFT(#val,
CHARINDEX('.',#val,1)+1) AS MONEY),1),CHARINDEX('.',#val,1)+2)
Result:
12,345.9
** Edit **
After thinking about the possibility of having a larger number for the variable, it wouldn't work when there are multiple commas i.e., 123,412,345.999 so I'm editing to include a CASE statement:
DECLARE #val VARCHAR(50) = '123412345.99999'
SELECT LEFT( CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),
CONVERT(MONEY
,LEFT(#val, CHARINDEX('.',#val,1)+1)
,1)
,1)
, CHARINDEX('.',#val)+(CASE
WHEN LEN(LEFT(#val, CHARINDEX('.',#val)-1))>6 THEN 3
ELSE 2
END))

I am inserting table A to table B. The problematic column looks like -$25.2. I first replaced the $ and tried insert. Got this error
Error converting data type nvarchar to float.
I then checked by
SELECT *
FROM B
WHERE ISNUMERIC([Col Name]) <> 1
and no results were returned.
This is odd. It is supposed to return something.
What should I check next?
I also tried something like
CAST(REPLACE([Col Name], '-$', '') AS FLOAT)
Try using this
DECLARE #Text nvarchar(100)
SET #Text = '-$1234.567'
SET #Text = Replace(#Text,'$', '')
Select CONVERT(float, #Text) AS ColumnValue
Select ABS(CONVERT(float, #Text)) AS ColumnValue
While the 'money' data type isn't great for doing calculations, in this scenario you can use it as an intermediary.
declare #a nvarchar(10)
set #a = '-$25.2'
select
#a,
cast(cast(#a as money) as float)
Only use this though if your data only goes to a max of 4 decimal places, otherwise you will lose precision in the conversion.
I have table1 with two columns:
col1 - nvarchar(510)
col2 - nvarchar(510)
I want to take all the values from table1 and put it to table2 where data type is different:
col1_A - numeric(22,10)
col2_A - int
I'm doing like:
insert into table2
select cast(col1 as numeric), cast(col2 as int)
but I'm getting error:
What is wrong?
You probably have a character in table1.col1. Also, it's important to point out that table1.col1 is nvarchar(510) but if len(table1.col1) > 11 you are going to get an Arithmetic overflow error.
declare #char nvarchar(510)
set #char = '123456789101'
--set #char = '1234567891011' --will cause an arithmetic overflow error since you are using numeric(22,10)
--set #char = '123abc456' --will cause Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric
declare #num numeric(22,10)
set #num = cast(#char as numeric(22,10))
select #num
It means you need to sanitize your data. Find which values are causing the issue and then manually correct them first or exclude them. To find which values are not numeric use the ISNUMERIC function.
select col1
from yourtable
where ISNUMERIC(col1) = 0
thank you Eric for help to find wrong recrods!
I did case as below:
case
when [col1] LIKE '%,%' then REPLACE([col1]),',','')
else CAST([col1] as Numeric)
end
and it's working!
I have a situation like this
I got a column with 'money' type, 2 decimal . Example data:(65.00)
I need to add 12 zero / 000000000000 to it so that the output would be like this:
(65.00 convert to 6500) + (000000000000) = 000000006500
Output: 000000006500
How can I achieve this?. Thank you for your help and suggestion
You can do this with a couple of casts, multiplying by 100, and using REPLICATE('0') to pad with the requisite number of zeroes).
I'm assuming you DO want up to 2 x trailing decimals, but no more.
DECLARE #value MONEY;
SET #value = 65.123;
DECLARE #intValue BIGINT;
SET #intValue = CAST(#value * 100.0 AS BIGINT);
SELECT REPLICATE('0',12-LEN(#intValue)) + CAST(#intValue AS NVARCHAR(20));
Returns 000000006512
If you need to do this on a set, a CTE can be used for the intermediate step, e.g.
WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(MoneyField * 100.0 AS BIGINT) AS intValue
FROM SomeTable
)
SELECT
REPLICATE('0',12-LEN(cte.intValue)) + CAST(cte.intValue AS NVARCHAR(20))
FROM cte;
Fiddle here
It is Possible .But output Column should be in the type of varchar(15) .If you want to do further operation of your output you have to convert that into int or whatever
SELECT CONCAT(REPEAT('0',12-LENGTH(65.00)),(65.00*100));
I have a field value productlength of 0.123. This is from a view and has a data type of varchar.
I need to convert it to a float or numeric value so as o perform math comparisons.
convert(float,productlength)
and
cast(productlength as float) both do not work.
error varchar cant be converted to float or somethiing liek that.
From what I have read varchar can simply not be converted to a numeric string?
Any clever ways around this?
You can convert varchars to floats, and you can do it in the manner you have expressed. Your varchar must not be a numeric value. There must be something else in it. You can use IsNumeric to test it. See this:
declare #thing varchar(100)
select #thing = '122.332'
--This returns 1 since it is numeric.
select isnumeric(#thing)
--This converts just fine.
select convert(float,#thing)
select #thing = '122.332.'
--This returns 0 since it is not numeric.
select isnumeric(#thing)
--This convert throws.
select convert(float,#thing)
Use
Try_convert(float,[Value])
See

DECLARE #INPUT VARCHAR(5) = '0.12',#INPUT_1 VARCHAR(5)='0.12x';
select CONVERT(float, #INPUT) YOUR_QUERY ,
case when isnumeric(#INPUT_1)=1 THEN CONVERT(float, #INPUT_1) ELSE 0 END AS YOUR_QUERY_ANSWERED
above will return values
however below query wont work
DECLARE #INPUT VARCHAR(5) = '0.12',#INPUT_1 VARCHAR(5)='0.12x';
select CONVERT(float, #INPUT) YOUR_QUERY ,
case when isnumeric(#INPUT_1)=1 THEN CONVERT(float, #INPUT_1) ELSE **#INPUT_1** END AS YOUR_QUERY_ANSWERED
as #INPUT_1 actually has varchar in it.
So your output column must have a varchar in it.
I have a database that displays time as an integer. However I am wanting to output this into a report with the correct format. This is the format that I would like to change:
eg.
183000 would become 18:30
500 would become 00:05
160000 would become 16:00
and so on.
I have had a look and CAST and CONVERT but not successfully managed to get this the time in the correct format.
Assuming your input will always be an int, you can parse it with something like:
DECLARE #stringTime varchar(6)
SET #stringTime = RIGHT('000000' + CAST(intTime AS VARCHAR), 6)
SELECT CAST(LEFT(#stringTime, 2) + ':' + RIGHT(LEFT(#stringTime, 4), 2) AS TIME) as TimeValue
I'd DEFINITELY look to change this field to an actual time or datetime field, as this level of conversion is not advised, especially for a heavily used database. There's just really got to be a better way to store your data.
Using an int value this way allows for a lot of bad data, without adding a lot of additional checks and/or constraints on your inputs (i.e.: 260000, 127900, etc.)
looks like you need to divide by 100 to get the seconds, divide by 10000 to get the minutes, and divide by 1000000 to get the hours, then format those values as a string, inserting a colon between hours and minutes, like
hh:mm
First cast to a varchar field and convert all times to 4 digits adding leading zeros if need be (500 would become 0500)and then break up the field with concantenation Left(myfield,2) + ':' + right(myfield,2)
This is something stupid to do every time you run a report, it is wasteful of server resources. If possible change the field to varchar and runthe code once. If not possible, can you add a formatted field and have a trigger do the formatiing on insertion (you'll still need to update the field the first time? Possibly a constraint would do instead of a trigger, but that would depend on the database.
I'm assuming that you are on SQL Server based on use of CONVERT and your previous questions.
You could use DATEADD for this too.
WITH Times AS
(
SELECT 183000 AS T
UNION ALL
SELECT 500
UNION ALL
SELECT 160000
)
SELECT CAST(DATEADD(SECOND, T%100 + (60*(T%10000 / 100)) + 3600*(T/10000),0)
AS time /*Or datetime if < SQL Server 2008*/)

end
,3,0,':'), 6, 0,':') as datetime)
set #i = 500
select cast(stuff(stuff(
case when len(cast(#i as varchar(6))) = 6 then cast(#i as varchar(6))
else REPLICATE('0',6 - LEN(cast(#i as varchar(6))))+cast(#i as varchar(6))
end

DECLARE #intTime int
