Hello,
Please let me know how to retain the + symbol and truncate the decimals
from the following. i tried with round and celing but of no use.
The datatype is varchar.
Example 1: +9966557785.0000000000000000
Example 2 : +9999665545.0000000000000000
Regards,
Sirish

Possibly the easiest way would be
select convert(bigint,+9966557785.0000000000000000)
Depends on what you want to do with the number after this really though.

Sirish likely has the best answer for fixing currently incorrect data, the real issue is to fix the data entry application.
Another option in SQL Server if the # of characters to the left of the decimal are consistent is this:
SELECT Left('+9999665545.0000000000000000', 11)
