Hi,
I am rounding numbers to 2 decimal places.
How is it possible to get the 0 at the end also?
For example, rounding 8.1243 gives 8.12
But rounding 6.4 gives 6.4 whereas I would like to see 6.40
OR if the answer is say 2 I would like to see 2.00
How is this done please?
Thanks

Use DECIMAL. That would round it as well by default.
DECLARE @x FLOAT = 2.0;

SELECT ROUND (@x,2);
SELECT CAST(@x AS DECIMAL(19,2))

Just to add to what Sunitbeck said, if you pass in a numeric/decimal, you'll get that same datatype back out.
DECLARE @x FLOAT = 2.0;
SELECT ROUND (CAST(@x AS DECIMAL(19, 2)), 2);

DECLARE @y DECIMAL(19, 2) = 2.0;
SELECT ROUND (@y, 2);
But, then there isn't really a need to round, assuming the datatype has the precision you want:
DECLARE @z DECIMAL(19, 2) = 2.12345;
SELECT @z
