T-SQL Simple Two Decimal Places
Posted on 2014-04-11
Hello:
I can't believe that I can't find a simple example of this on the internet, somewhere.
All I want is the number 64.25--not 64 and certainly not 64.00.
The best that I can come up with is the following, and it is giving me 64:
CAST(UPR30301.MTDHOURS_4/1
How do I take "UPR30301.MTDHOURS_4/100" and have the result be 64.25? That's all I want. It should be very simple.
Thanks!

To avoid this, you need to CAST either the numerator or the denominator as a decimal, and not the entire result.
UPR30301.MTDHOURS_4/CAST(100 AS DECIMAL(18, 2))

The problem is the data type precedence. Seems that you're dividing an integer by an integer. Thus the result is integer. The additional cast cannot restore the missing digits as they are not part of the result integer. See
DECLARE @decimal DECIMAL (19,2) = 100;
DECLARE @integer INT = 100;
SELECT @decimal / 3,
@integer / 3,
@integer / 3.0,
CAST( @integer / 3.0 AS DECIMAL(19, 2) );
