Hi,
I have a requirement, where I need to add the decimals to a column based on the precision/values stored in another column.

Ex:
COL1 COL2 COL3
135 141 1
NULL 0.1 3
NULL 4 2

I need to use COL3 decimal precision and convert the columns 1 and 2 with the right value.

In above case, The result should look like below.
COL1 COL2 COL3
135.0 141.0 1
NULL 0.100 3
NULL 4.00 2

Please let me know any function which can do this or any other option.

Please reply ASAP.


With best Regards
Prabhu

As precision is part of data type, when defined, so possibly it would be hard to do that as a batch. But still you can do it through cursor and dynamic query.

DECLARE @Str VARCHAR(500)

SELECT @Str = 'SELECT CAST(COL1 AS DECIMAL (18,'+CAST (@COL3 AS VARCHAR(10))+')) AS COL1,
CAST(COL2 AS DECIMAL (18,'+CAST(@COL3 AS VARCHAR(10))+')) AS COL2
FROM #Test'
EXEC (@Str)
