| Hi,How can I have a function so that you can pass a number to it, and the function expects one parameter i.e.:@dp tinyintso then the function does something like the following:takes the passed in number i.e. 0.199786581197469 and then returns its percentage with @dp decimal places, therefore the answer will be: 19.98%Please note that the functioni should return the percentage sign too, so I guess it should return varchar.Thanks |

You can do it like in the example below:DECLARE @x FLOAT = 0.199786581197469;SELECT CAST(CAST(100*@x AS DECIMAL(19,2)) AS VARCHAR(32))+'%'; Most experts would advise that you don't create a function to do this - rather, just do it in-line, for better performance.Also, in general, you would want to do the formatting and adding percentage symbols etc. in the presentation layer (such as a client application or reporting services) if you have one, rather than doing it in the SQL query. |
