I would like to get the leading zero in the below sql.

declare @NewNum float = 0.701
declare @dp tinyint = 2
set @NewNum = ROUND(@NewNum, @dp)
print @Newnum

Should return 0.70 if @dp is 2 decimal places.
or if you pass the number 0 it should return 0.00

How is this done please?
Thanks

CAST(@NewNum AS DECIMAL(19,2));
If you have very precise/stringent formatting requirements, usually that is better done at the presentation side (such as a client GUI, reporting services etc.)

Hi,
This does not seem to work in my sql.
I tried what you mentioned but still gives 0.7 and NOT 0.70

Hmm, it works for me. Try it.
DECLARE @NewNum float = 0.701
PRINT CAST(@NewNum AS DECIMAL(19,2));
