Hi Friends,
Here is my table structure-
Table1
ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
11111 -1 AAAAA
11112 -2 BBBBBB
11113 -3.17 CCCCC
11114 -1 DDDDD
11115 -0.2 EEEEEE
Can you please let me know how to restrict the rows having the decimal values in the columnB in the select clause of the above table?
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that if ColumnB has a decimal portion, that you don't want it?

check if below code works for you..

declare @test-2 table(Col1 int,Col2 decimal(5,2),Col3 varchar(100))

insert into @test-2 select 11111,-1,'AAAAA'

union all

select 11112,-2.4567,'BBBBBB'

union all

select 11113,-3.17,'CCCCC'

union all

select 11114,-1,'DDDDD'

union all

select 11115,-0.2,'EEEEEE'

select Col1,left(col2,charindex('.',Col2)-1),col3 from @test-2

cvvikram -- since you are a newbie to this forum, i have prepared sample DDL and DML for you, you will have to send this kind of readily consumable script so that you get the accurate and faster responses. check the first link in Waynes signature for future posts.
