Hi

I have the need to update a bunch of values in a table and the column data type is "Money", the value should be increased with 5% and make the correct rounding. I tried this, but thats not right...


DECLARE @Price money
SET @Price = 1.19
SELECT @Price * 1.04
--PRINT ROUND(@Price,2) 
PRINT CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), @Price)

Can anyone help?

Sorry, in my code it should of course have been * 1.05 but to only use the suggested code give 1.249500 which isnt right. It should round correct and be like this 1.25

if your datatype is money it will have scale value of 4 (upto 4 decimal places). so if you want to round upto 2 decimal places you can use this


UPDATE Table
SET Price = ROUND(Price *1.05,2)
