Also, if I'm rounding a number, I'm trying to reduce the number of digits after the decimal. If it keeps the same number of digits, why round it?Good example:
Select 123.45 * 1.07This is how much tax @ 7% to charge a customer and then add the original 123.45 back in. The answer is 132.0915. Now if I need to round that number, I would expect the final dollar amount to be 132.09.
select round(123.45 * 1.07,2)This results in 132.0900 -- a little confusing if I'm going to be generating a report showing total sales after tax.
Anyone have a good solution to get the 132.09 as a result of a simple formula?
I would use the reporting application to present the desired format. However if you are going to have to output the raw data then you have multiple options. For instance: SELECT CAST(ROUND(123.45 * 1.07,2) AS numeric(9, 2))
