Rounding decimal when the last significant digit is 5 - tsql

Why is ROUND(2.05, 1) producing 2.0? Isn't supposed to produce 2.1?
Thanks for helping
EDIT
SELECT
p.AdjustPercent,
CAST(CAST(ROUND(p.AdjustPercent, 1) AS DECIMAL(10, 1)) AS VARCHAR(50)) + '%',
....
I've got things like
2.38 2.4%
2.05 2.0%

I think I know what your problem is. Is your type a float? Bear in mind that 2.05 float can well be 2.049999998. Hence it rounds down.
Try the following:
DECLARE #f float = 2.05
DECLARE #d decimal(10,2) = 2.05
DECLARE #n numeric(10,4) = 2.05
SELECT ROUND(2.05, 1)
SELECT ROUND(#f, 1)
SELECT ROUND(#d, 1)
SELECT ROUND(#n, 1)
Results
2.10
2
2.10
2.1000

How to select float values by mantissa length?

I have a column with double precision values. I am trying to select only those with precision greater than a tenth (e.g., 24.13, 1.347, etc.).
I know I can convert the float to a string and query based on string length using the following:
select * from schema.table where char_length(to_char(float_column, 'FM999999999D999999999')) > 3;
This will return all the rows with more than 1 decimal place if the integer portion of the number is single digit (eg., it will return 24.1).
How can I select any float value that has a mitissa length greater than one?
Use split_part():
with my_table(float_column) as (
values
(24.13::float), (1.347), (12345), (.1)
)
select float_column, split_part(float_column::text, '.', 2)
from my_table;
float_column | split_part
--------------+------------
24.13 | 13
1.347 | 347
12345 |
0.1 | 1
(4 rows)
So your query may look like this:
select *
from my_table
where length(split_part(float_column::text, '.', 2)) > 1;
float_column
--------------
24.13
1.347
(2 rows)
If you stored the value as numeric (fixed point versus floating point), then you could simply do:
where floor(col * 100) <> floor(col * 10) * 10
Unfortunately, there are edge cases where this logic doesn't work for floating point numbers, because you can get something like 21.99999999997.
look for rounding errors:
where round(float_column,1) <> round(float_column,5)

Show Only 2 Decimal Places in SQL Server

I've got some columns that are stored as an INT value that I am doing some addition and division on and I would like to display the results by limiting the digits after the decimal to 2. I've tried different combinations of DECIMAL / NUMERIC / ROUND but I can't get the solution.
Could anyone offer any advice on how to get the desired solution?
Query:
SELECT cc.code AS [CountyID], RTRIM(LTRIM(cc.[description])) AS [CountyName],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS [CountyPushCounts],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_unique_count,0)) AS [UniquePushCount],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.error_count,0)) AS [PushErrorCount],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.warning_count,0)) AS [PushWarningCount],
(CAST(SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_unique_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) / CAST(SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) * 100.0) AS [Unique Push Per Day] ,
((CAST(SUM(ISNULL(ps.error_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) + CAST(SUM(ISNULL(ps.warning_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2))) / CAST(SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) * 100.0) AS [Data Error Rate]
FROM dbo.push_stats AS [ps]
INNER JOIN CCIS.dbo.county_codes AS [cc] ON ps.county_code = cc.code
WHERE DATEPART(YEAR,ps.ldstat_date) = 2017
AND DATEPART(MONTH,ps.ldstat_date) = 3
GROUP BY cc.code, cc.[description]
ORDER BY cc.[description];
And my data set looks as follows:
CountyID CountyName PushCounts UniquePushCount PushErrorCount PushWarningCount [Unique Push Per Day] [Data Error Rate]
1 ALACHUA 210422 77046 0 39 36.61499273 0.018534184
2 BAKER 8099 5306 0 71 65.51426102 0.876651438
3 BAY 3178214 434893 117 2793 13.68356568 0.091560857
4 BRADFORD 17654 12119 0 131 68.64733205 0.742041464
I think this will do it:
SELECT cc.code AS [CountyID], RTRIM(LTRIM(cc.[description])) AS [CountyName],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS [CountyPushCounts],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_unique_count,0)) AS [UniquePushCount],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.error_count,0)) AS [PushErrorCount],
SUM(ISNULL(ps.warning_count,0)) AS [PushWarningCount],
CAST((SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_unique_count,0)) * 100.00) / SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) AS [Unique Push Per Day] ,
CAST((SUM(ISNULL(ps.error_count,0)) + SUM(ISNULL(ps.warning_count,0)) * 100.00) / SUM(ISNULL(ps.push_count,0)) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) AS [Data Error Rate]
FROM dbo.push_stats AS [ps]
INNER JOIN CCIS.dbo.county_codes AS [cc] ON ps.county_code = cc.code
WHERE DATEPART(YEAR,ps.ldstat_date) = 2017
AND DATEPART(MONTH,ps.ldstat_date) = 3
GROUP BY cc.code, cc.[description]
ORDER BY cc.[description];
There are two main points here:
With the division operation, get at least one term to a floating point type of some kind before the division happens, so that it doesn't do integer division and truncate the decimal portion of the result. You're okay as long as either term is a floating point type of some kind, and you can accomplish this simply by moving the * 100.00 earlier.
You want to allow much greater than 2 decimal places for the internal calculations, and only set your output format at the very end. Rounding or casting to limited types too soon in an expression can change intermediate values in small ways that are exaggerated in the final results. This means you only want one big CAST() operation around the whole set.
You have to cast the final result, not just the individual numerator and denominator
DECLARE #Numerator INTEGER
DECLARE #Denominator INTEGER
SET #Numerator = 10
SET #Denominator = 3;
-- This will produce 3.33333333
SELECT CAST(#Numerator AS DECIMAL(5,2))/CAST(#Denominator AS DECIMAL(5,2))
-- This will give you 3.33
SELECT CAST(
CAST(#Numerator AS DECIMAL(5,2))
/CAST(#Denominator AS DECIMAL(5,2))
AS DECIMAL(5,2))

Removing decimal places

I have a set of decimal values, but I need to remove the values after the decimal if they are zero.
17.00
23.50
100.00
512.79
become
17
23.50
100
512.79
Currently, I convert to a string and replace out the trailing .00 - Is there a better method?
REPLACE(CAST(amount as varchar(15)), '.00', '')
This sounds like it is purely a data presentation problem. As such you should let the receiving application or reporting software take care of the formatting.
You could try converting the .00s to datatype int. That would truncate the decimals. However, as all the values appear in one column they will have to have the same type. Making everything an int would ruin your rows with actual decimal places.
As a SQL solution to a presentation problem, I think what you have is OK.
I would advice you to compare the raw decimal value with itself floored. Example code:
declare
#Val1 decimal(9,2) = 17.00,
#Val2 decimal(9,2) = 23.50;
select
case when FLOOR ( #Val1 ) = #Val1
then cast( cast(#Val1 as int) as varchar)
else cast(#Val1 as varchar) end,
case when FLOOR ( #Val2 ) = #Val2
then cast( cast(#Val2 as int) as varchar)
else cast(#Val2 as varchar) end
-------------
17 | 23.50

wrong result with floating numbers

I have this table with 1 records. Im trying to compute something call Puntaje, to get the Puntaje Result I have to follow the following formula:
Puntaje = (Infracciones * 10) / Horas
Horas = Segundos / 60 / 60
I wrote the following script, but I have some doubt and problem.
1) Is there another way to assign the values to #variables or another way to compute the sum?
2) Why the Puntaje result is 0.00, have to be: 0.854
Im using MS SQL Server 2012
Can someone help me to resolve this? Thank you in advance.
/* content of table: #Customer_Drivers
DriverId Segundos KM QtyExcesos QtyFreAce QtyDesc Puntaje IDC
6172 717243 1782 17 0 0 0 0
*/
DECLARE #Customer_Drivers TABLE (
DriverId INT,
Segundos INT,
KM INT,
QtyExcesos INT,
QtyFreAce INT,
QtyDesc INT,
Puntaje INT,
IDC INT
);
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO #Customer_Drivers (DriverId, Segundos, KM, QtyExcesos, QtyFreAce, QtyDesc, Puntaje, IDC)
VALUES (6172, 717243, 1782, 17, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
DECLARE #DriverId INT = 6172;
DECLARE #Horas INT;
DECLARE #QtyExcesos INT ;
DECLARE #QtyFreAce INT ;
DECLARE #QtyDesc INT ;
DECLARE #Infracciones INT;
DECLARE #Puntaje Decimal(18,2);
SET #Horas = (SELECT Segundos FROM #Customer_Drivers WHERE DriverId = #DriverId) / 60 / 60;
SET #QtyExcesos = (SELECT QtyExcesos FROM #Customer_Drivers WHERE DriverId = #DriverId);
SET #QtyFreAce = (SELECT QtyFreAce FROM #Customer_Drivers WHERE DriverId = #DriverId);
SET #QtyDesc = (SELECT QtyDesc FROM #Customer_Drivers WHERE DriverId = #DriverId);
SET #Infracciones = (#QtyExcesos + #QtyFreAce + #QtyDesc);
SET #Puntaje = ( #Infracciones * 10) /#Horas;
PRINT #Horas
PRINT #QtyExcesos
PRINT #QtyFreAce
PRINT #QtyDesc
PRINT #Puntaje
/* OUTPUT
199 -- #Horas
17 -- #QtyExcesos
0 -- #FreAce
0 -- #QtyDesc
0.00 -- #Puntaje must be = 0.854
*/
Even though #Puntaje is declared as Decimal(18,2), that doesn't mean your calculation will be treated as a decimal. The problem is that ( #Infracciones * 10) / #Horas is using all integers so this expression will result in the integer value 0. Then this integer 0 is converted to a decimal and stored in #Puntaje.
To fix this, you need to convert part of the expression to a decimal first so that the result will be a decimal:
SET #Puntaje = ( CAST(#Infracciones AS Decimal(18,2)) * 10) / #Horas
You are using integers in your calculation, so the result will be rounded off (or truncated) to the nearest integer. Use decimal values, or use 'cast' :
#Puntaje = (cast(#Infracciones as decimal(18,2)) * 10.0) / cast(#Horas as decimal(18,2))
Check my syntax - just typed this on without trying it
1) You can use SELECT #Horas = Segundos/3600, #QtyExcesos = QtyExcesos ... FROM [RS_Reports].[dbo].[Customer_Drivers] WHERE DriverId = #DriverId. This should work providing that there is one line of results.
2) Already answered by others, you have to divide by decimal to get a decimal, i.e. you'll have to convert #Horas to Decimal
From what I've learned. #variable should be some parameters light input parameter and output parameter.... Try to execute your Stored Procedure and see what you got in SQL Server Management Studio.
There should be a return value.

tsql how to validate a number's scale

I need to validate the number of digits to the right of the decimal (the scale)
0, is a valid number in any of the places (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.).
Any tips or tricks?... w/o an extensive regex library, and no built in function, I would prefer a function that accepts the number, the number of places the scale should equal, and then return a bit.
Following up with Maess's suggestion I came up with this:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetScale]
(
#tsValue varchar(250)
, #tiScale int
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
#tiResult int
, #tiValueScale int
SET #tiResult = 0
SELECT #tiValueScale = LEN( SUBSTRING ( #tsValue, PATINDEX('%.%', #tsValue) + 1, LEN(#tsValue) ) )
IF (#tiValueScale = #tiScale)
SET #tiResult = 1
RETURN #tiResult
END
GO
Seems to work as desired. Thanks for the help.
Just as a followup... i ran into an issue where a number didnt have a decimal (which returns the patindex to 0) and the number was the same size as the scale, it would return a false positive... so i add an additional select from the patindex to determine if it does exist or not... it now looks like this:
- =============================================
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[GetScale]
(
#tsValue varchar(250)
, #tiScale int
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
#tiResult int
, #tiValueScale int
, #tiDecimalExists int
SET #tiResult = 0
SET #tiDecimalExists = 0
SELECT #tiDecimalExists = PATINDEX('%.%', #tsValue)
IF (#tiDecimalExists != 0)
BEGIN
SELECT #tiValueScale = LEN( SUBSTRING ( #tsValue, #tiDecimalExists + 1, LEN(#tsValue) ) )
IF (#tiValueScale = #tiScale)
SET #tiResult = 1
END
RETURN #tiResult
END
I tried Anthony's solution with some success, but there is some undesirable side effects when the first whole number is 9.
For example...
select 0.11 as fraction, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(0.11) dp union
select 9.1, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(9.1) union
select 9.01, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(9.01) union
select 9.0, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(9.0) union
select 99.0, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(99.0) union
select 10999.0, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(10999.0) union
select 8.0, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(8.0) union
select 0, Math.NumberOfDecimalPlaces(0)
Produces...
0.00 0
0.11 2
8.00 0
9.00 -1
9.01 2
9.10 1
99.00 -2
10999.00 -3
Which shows some incorrect calculations when 9 is the first whole number.
I've made a small improvement to Anthony's original function.
CREATE FUNCTION [Math].[NumberOfDecimalPlaces]
(
#fraction decimal(38,19)
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
RETURN FLOOR(LOG10(REVERSE(ABS(#fraction % 1) +1))) +1
END
This simply strips of the whole number part of the fraction. Which when implemented produces...
0.00 0
0.11 2
8.00 0
9.00 0
9.01 2
9.10 1
99.00 0
10999.00 0
The correct result
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.DecimalPlaces(#n decimal(38,19))
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
RETURN FLOOR(LOG10(REVERSE(ABS(#n % 1) + 1))) + 1
END
Edit (Feb 5 '15):
Thanks sqlconsumer. I have included your fix for nines before the decimal point.
