I would like to 'drop' some trailing zeros from a decimal value, e.g.: 50.000000, and I am wondering how to go about this?
The value is definitely of decimal type, and in this instance I know that I want to eliminate exactly six (6) zeros.

The following line of SQL returns the first screen shot below.
((T0.TotalSales - ISNULL(T1.TotalSales, 0)) - (T0.StockValue - ISNULL(T1.StockValue, 0))) / (T0.StockValue - ISNULL(T1.StockValue, 0)) * 100 AS 'Gross Profit %'
I now want to limit the decimal places to two (2), and one might think that using a CAST operation here is the solution, as follows.
CAST(((T0.TotalSales - ISNULL(T1.TotalSales, 0)) - (T0.StockValue - ISNULL(T1.StockValue, 0))) / (T0.StockValue - ISNULL(T1.StockValue, 0)) * 100 AS decimal(15,2)) AS 'Gross Profit %'
However in actuality I am still seeing too many decimal places, but the extra ones have changed to ZEROS!
Ideally I would like to have no extra trailing zeros. How to achieve this?
in our database is saved by 6 decimal places, whether the value has no values ??in decimal position. Field type is of type nvarchar.
How do I remove these "laggards spirit" in the best and smartest way.
Ex:
100.000000 will be 100
100.001000 will be 100.001
100.000001 will be be 100.000001
100.100000 will be be 100.1
and so on...
I'm building an invoice report in visual studio for use with MS Dynamics CRM Online. The "quantity" field I reference from the database contains a decimal number with a precision of 2 (i.e - 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) due to how I charge my clients as they can purchase 0.25 hours of support for example.
The problem is that I also sell other items that don't require a decimal place in the quantity field and "1 x website design" would look a lot better than "1.00 x website design".
format the quantity field on my report so that it will remove the 0's and the decimal place ONLY when all the numbers after the decimal place are 0. So, to clarify:
1.00 should become 10.25 should stay as 0.250.50 should stay as 0.50 instead of it changing to 0.5 (I can live with 0.5 if 0.50 is a deal breaker.)
I'm uploading data from a CSV file into SQL Server 2000 using an upload routine in C# (ASP.NET 2.0). I'm using an OleDbDataAdapter to select all the data in the CSV file into a DataTable. I then use a SQLBulkCopy to copy all the data into my SQL Server table. The CSV file maps exactly to the fields in the SQL Server database and I've used a custom delimiter of a '~' (tilda) that is declared in a schema.ini file.
The import works fine and my SQL Server table is fully populated with all the data. However, one source field in the CSV file is getting truncated in my SQL Server table. It is a field containing a value e.g. 32,000, 64,500 but this is getting truncated and losing the trailing zeros in SQL Server i.e. 32,000 (CSV) becomes 32 (SQL Server) and 64,500 becomes 65,5.
I've tried mapping the source field to a varchar, nvarchar and text field, but all data types have the same problem with truncating the trailing zeros (I only need to display the data - no calculations required) and the ',' in the number in the CSV file has prevented me from mapping this to an integer.
Also, locally the code works fine and my local database is SQL Server 2005, but the remote host is using SQL Server 2000 and this is where the problem occurs.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
Hi All,

In my select query for field ordernumber want to add two trailing zeros in the resultset, how can i add.
Thanks for the info.
How can i add two trailing decimals if there is no decimals:
for example if it is just 1, then make it 1.00
if it is 1.12 then leave it as it is.
can you please help.
select cast(ordernumber as varchar(10)) + '00' from ordertable

I have a table like
[A]-------------[B]
[0]-------------[0.012345]
[1]-------------[0.002345]
[0.2145]------[0.1457]
I need both columns A and B to be padded with zeros at the end upto 9th place after decimal so the output should look like:
[A]------------------------[B]
[0.000000000]-----------[0.012345000]
[1.000000000]-----------[0.002345670]

Note: total number of digits = 10 not including '.'decimal
I tried this but just getting 11 zeros.. it work when i want zeros in the left but not on the right
select right(REPLICATE('0', 11) + CAST([table] AS VARCHAR(11)),11)

I am exporting from a SQL money field to a flat file. The datatype is set to DT_CY in SSIS. I need two decimal places in the flat file but instead I am getting 1.1 instead of 1.10.
Should I be using a different datatype or is there a way to set the number of decimals on the DT_CY datatype?
Would someone mind helping me with formatting a string please??
I have a column DECIMAL(4,2). In a stored proc I am selecting this field and converting it to varchar so I can append certain characters to it (this is really irrelevant to my question). However, before appending the characters, I need to remove zeros after the decimal point.
Examples:
3.00 should be 3
3.20 should be 3.2
3.05 should be 3.05
etc
HiI use SqlServer 2000I am doing a select and sending the results, which is a cast() intodecimal (9,3), in an email to various other users of our system.Problem is that a number like 95.2 is display as 95.200. Is there anyway I can trim it so that it will display 95.2 ?David

I have a column of type Decimal(14, 4) in my SQL server 2005 database.
When producing the result set on this column, i need to convert the values to varchar datatype and also i do not want the trailing zeroes to be displayed.
For eg:
If the value stored is 98.7500, my select query should provide an output of 98.75.
Similarly if the value stored is 98.0000, my select query should output 98.
I tried converting the value to "float" and then assigning to varchar data, however doing so i am incurring precision loss in some scenarios
See below:
Declare @ele as varchar(25)
Select @ele = Convert(float, 99999.9990)
select @ele
Output I received: 100000
Output I wanted: 99999.999
Are there any in-built functions in SQL to achieve what I need?
The table I have is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FTE2015](
[Firm Number] [varchar](50) NULL,
[w9] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
select * from dbo.FTE2015
Firm Number w9
709485"" Â 0
040898A" 12.5
709502"" 2.4
041382"" 0.4
709503"" 0.3
709681"" Â 4.9
How do I remove the trailing blanks? I tried RTRIM but it does not work.
SELECT RTRIM([Firm Number])
FROM dbo.FTE2015;
(No column name)
709485""
040898A"
709502""
041382""
709503""
How can I resolve this? The [Firm Number]column is not of a fixed length.
What is the best way to change an output of P0123 to 123? i.e. drop the letter 'P' and also any leading zeros. We have a report that outputs terminal ID's which range from P0001 through to P0536.
I can drop the 'P' easily enough, but how I can drop the P000 from terminal ID P0001 for example.
I have a field type of char(7) which holds an invoice number.
It has leading zeros that i want to remove.
0000001 I would like to make it 1.
How can I remove the leading zeros. If I need to replace them with spaces that is fine too.
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

Hi Experts,
I have an urgent needs.
I want to store null for decimal type to sql server. But I do not know how to do that. I get data from user input. If the user did not enter anything in the textbox, then I want to store null to sql server. I list a piece od code below. I got error in the last line fItemObject.ChargeAmount = null;.
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDescription.Text)) myObject.LongDesc = txtLongDesc.Text; else myObject.LongDesc = null;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtAmount.Text)) myObject.Amount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtChargeAmount.Text); else myObject.ChargeAmount = null;
// Then I submit the myobject to the sql server.
Thank you very much in adavance!
I have a table containing the following data:
LinkingIDID1 ID2

166202253178180659

264052258643258642
264502258643258663
264502258643259562
Within the LinkingID, there are duplicates in ID1 and ID2 but just in opposite columns. I have been trying to figure out a way to remove these set based. It doesn't matter which duplicate is removed. Essentially these are just endpoints and I don't care which side they are on. The solution must recognize the duplicates and not just remove based on every 2nd row.
I read this: [URL] ....
Which says you must drop the database to remove the filegroup.
I deleted all the objects and then backed up the DB and restored it and the filegroup is still there.
I was skeptical but some of the comments made me think this might work.
Do I really have to restore from a pre-memory optimized state?
Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1
If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.
anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?
Hi,
The table in SQL has column Availability Decimal (8,8)
Code in c# using sqlbulkcopy trying to insert values like 0.0000, 0.9999, 29.999 into the field Availability
we tried the datatype float , but it is converting values to scientific expressions€¦(eg: 8E-05) and the values displayed in reports are scientifc expressions which is not expected
we need to store values as is

I want to store 34.45 only with out round in decimal data type how can i achive this
How do you display 12.38 as 1238 I can't use round.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a piece of my code:
SELECT TOP 1000 *...
case when Rownum<= datediff(day, salesdate, baseenddate)

I am trying to convert a column (nvarchar) to date time.
Here is an example of some values:
20110905
20110901
20111003
As expected, I received the following error: 'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.'
However, I am unsure how I should approach updating the whole column. I would like the format to be '103'.
I have a databound textbox that is used to store a decimal value.
If my sql table stores this column as a decimal(2,2), then all of the numbers entered into the field will automatically put decimal places in that I don't want. For example, 45 becomes 45.00... 34.5 becomes 34.50.
If I set the sql table to nchar(10) and the dataset to system.string (max length of -1), then the number looks the way I would like it, however after a datatable update I end up with trailing whitespace after the number - filling up the rest of the unused 10 characters. For example, "45" becomes "45 " (8 spaces afterwards).
Does anybody know how I can fix this? I would prefer to store the numbers in SQL as a string (nchar(10))... but I don't know how to get rid of that darned whitespace. I would like to remove it at the database level and not at the client level if at all possible.
Thanks!
