Morning,

I am trying to eliminate a rounding issue with my query. It's bring back -0.01 and +0.01 which I don't want it to. I have played around with my having clause but have hit a road block.



select....

sum(case when acct_type <> 'IN' then sign*(amount*rate) else 0 end) 'A',
sum(case when acct_type = 'IN' then sign*(amount*rate) else 0 end) 'D'

join.....
where...
group by...
having sum(sign*amount) <> 0


Any help?

Thanks
Jod

CAST( sign * amount * rate AS INT)

Add to both - in the select clause and in the having clause. You have to decide whether you want to round each individual rows separately, or round only the aggregate. If I had to guess, I would say use the rounding on the aggregate.
select....

CAST(sum(case when acct_type <> 'IN' then sign*(amount*rate) else 0 end) AS INT) 'A',
CAST(sum(case when acct_type = 'IN' then sign*(amount*rate) else 0 end) AS INT) 'D'

join.....
where...
group by...
having CAST(sum(sign*amount) AS INT) <> 0
