I'm trying to truncate some numbers in a view.Is seems like it is not possible to use functions such as stuff, round, len...etc in a view.How do I get around this?I'm trying to do something like the following:select x=stuff(round(number, 3), len(x)-3, 4,'') thanks  |

| You're using STUFF, which is a string function, on a numeric expression returned by ROUND. You're also trying to do the same thing with LEN. Try this:SELECT Stuff(Cast(Round(number, 3) as varchar), Len(Cast(x as varchar))-3, 4, '')Ummmm...why don't you just use CONVERT?SELECT Convert(number, decimal(15, 2))Or STR?SELECT STR(number, 15, 2) |
