Decimals not being picked up in SQL case expression - tsql

Question

I have a case expression and whole numbers are working fine but when it gets to the decimal it is returning null, so when #inputUnits = '1' and #unitInCase = 2 #setUnit = 'Two' but when #unitInCase = .1 #setUnit = NULL not sure what is happening.
DECLARE
#inputUnits varchar(50),
#unitInCase numeric,
#setUnit varchar(50)
SET #inputUnits = '1'
SET #unitInCase = .1
SET #setUnit =
CASE
WHEN #inputUnits = '1' THEN
CASE
WHEN #unitInCase= .1 THEN 'One'
WHEN #unitInCase= 2 THEN 'Two'
WHEN #unitInCase= 3 THEN 'Three'
WHEN #unitInCase = 4 THEN 'Four'
END
WHEN #inputUnits = '2' THEN
CASE
WHEN #unitInCase= .1 THEN 'One'
WHEN #unitInCase = .2 THEN 'Two'
WHEN #unitInCase= .3 THEN 'Three'
WHEN #unitInCase= .4 THEN 'Four'
END
END

You need to specify what type of numeric you need e.g., numeric(10,2) so your code should start with (say)
DECLARE
#inputUnits varchar(50),
#unitInCase numeric(10,2),
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/decimal-and-numeric-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15 for info about numeric and decimal data types (which are synonymous). Broadly speaking, the first number represents the number of digits you wish to track (on both sides of the decimal point), whereas the second number is the number of digits after the decimal point.
See db<>fiddle with the code before and after.
In the example below, it shows what happens if you don't set the scale and precision.
DECLARE #x numeric;
SET #x = 1.234567890;
SELECT #x;
-- Result is 1
