Inserting Varchar To Decimal/Numeric

Aug 29, 2007



Hi,

Can we insert varchar values to Decimal(9,2)/numeric(9,2) fields?

I've a temp table with varchar values. I checked using isnumeric and all the values are numeric. But when I do the insert, it fails.

I was able to insert the following values:
000290165
000501075
000290165
000326314

But NOT the following:
010773474

All the values are 9 digits only.......
How can I convert this kind of numbers?

I need to convert all the 9 digit numbers to XXXXXXX.xx format.






(7digits.2 digits)

Thanks,
Siva.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Arithmetic Overflow Error Converting Varchar To Data Type Numeric Message When Field Is Decimal

Apr 3, 2014

I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.

Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.

case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.

[code]....

I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.

How Decimal And Numeric Data Types Work

Jul 26, 2013

On the Microsoft website, I am trying to understand the how the decimal and numeric data types work. It says that valid values for precision are:

- 10^38 +1 through 10^38 - 1

I don't understand the purpose of the negative sign before the first 10.I understand that decimal (p,s) refers to haing a total of p digits (before and after the decimal) and only s number of digits to the right of the decimal. How does the equation above relate to the 's' portion of the syntax?

SQL Precision Arithmetic Overflow Error For Numeric And Decimal Datatypes

Jul 23, 2005

I've a SQL view performing a number of very precise calculations ie.495/(1.112 - (.00043499*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) + ( .00000055 * ((Col1+ Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) - (.00028826 * Col4))) -450)/100Obviously this sometimes causes a precision issues because the floatand real datatypes don't hold precise values... My problem is thatconverting to the numeric or decimal datatype easily produces an errorif the precision is not big enough to hold the resulting output... Sohere's my questions:Does anyone see a problem with me maxing out the precision of thedecimal datatype (ie. use DECIMAL(38,8) across a couple dozeninter-related formulas?So the above code would now exec like this:495/(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),1.112) -(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00043499)*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) +(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00000055) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 +Col2 + Col3))) - (CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00028826) * Col4))) - 450)/100If anyone does see a problem with this approach, could you suggestanother alternative?

Inserting A Decimal - HELP

Dec 23, 2003

Im trying to insert a decimal into SQL 2000 using a stored procedure. I can successfully insert it using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code, but I cant insert it correctly when calling for a stored procedure.

For instance 12.5 will insert as 12.

Here is my SQL Parameter code:
[code]
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Num", SqlDbType.Decimal))
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Precision = 5
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Scale = 2
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Value = Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox1.Text)
[/code]

I also declared @Num to be a decimal in my Stored Procedure.

As you can see I give the Parameter more than enough detail about the data type as well as convert the textbox value to a decimal, but it still rounds the value to an integer like data.

Again using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code works OK, but the stored procedure will not.
ANyone got any ideas why this is happening.

Can A Select Be Done On A Varchar Field For Only The Rows That Are Numeric?

Jan 4, 2000

I am not sure if this is the right place, but here's my question:

with a field being varchar, can only the rows that are numeric be selected? For example-

ID Data1
1 don
2 jerry
3 3030
4 1234
5 susan
6 4321

Does SQL have an IsNumeric type function that can be used in the where clause?

Converting / Cast Varchar To Numeric With Scale?

I have a varchar(len=9) field that I want to cast as numeric(9,2). Some of the field values are null but some have valid values (ie 1.00 or .05).

I am selecting data from one table and then updating a different table.

I have a select statement within an insert statement and then an update statement. I've tried a cast statement but not successfully. I get the following error.

Cannot Set Numeric To Null Before Inserting To Table

Jun 21, 2007

Hi,



I have a flat file whose data looks like this:



"Opening Balance", Acct1234, 1001.01

"Closing Balance", Acct1234, 1001.01



In my script component for "Opening Balance", I set my output columns like this:



Row.AccountNumber = CDate(rowValues(1)

Row.OpeningBalance = CDec(rowValues(2))

Row.ClosingBalance = Nothing



Because I don't have a value for ClosingBalance in this row, I set ClosingBalance = Nothing.



And for "Closing Balance", I set my output columns like this, because there's no value for OpeningBalance.



Row.AccountNumber = CDate(rowValues(1)

Row.OpeningBalance = Nothing

Row.ClosingBalance = Nothing



Then, in my column mappings I map OpeningBalance = OpeningBalance and ClosingBalance = ClosingBalance.



The idea being that if there's no value, then it should be set to NULL. However, in my table, I see that instead of NULLs, there's 0.00000. Which is not what I want to see.



Any ideas why this is happening?



Thanks

Varchar To Decimal Rounding Issues

Jul 9, 2007

hi all

I have a problem with SQL rounding my decimals up when I pull them from a temp table that has the column set as VARCHAR. What is happening is I am pulling the info from a flat file but each column has "" around each field so I must make the temp table columns all VARCHAR so I may pull the info from the file properly. So after the info has been extracted, I run an update statement on the temp table to remove all quotes. Once this is done, the revised info is inserted into a staging table and any field that is a represented as a decimal is labled as such in the staging table.

What I am running into is when the info is inserted into the staging table, the decimals are rounded up to whole values. The column has been checked to verify that it is indeed a decimal. I even have a CAST statement in the insert hoping to combat the rounding issue, but it is not helping.

So what reason(s) would my decimals be rounding up?

Thanks alot

Check If Varchar Has Non 0 Values In The Decimal?

Apr 25, 2008

Hi All,

I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.

So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.

Please help.

Thanks,
