How to display two digits after decimal point in SQL Server

Question

I have table which has a column of float data type in SQL Server I want to return my float datatype column value with 2 decimal places.

for ex: if i insert 12.3,it should return 12.30

if i insert 12,it should return 12.00

Answer 1

select cast(your_float_column as decimal(10,2))
from your_table

decimal(10,2) means you can have a decimal number with a maximal total precision of 10 digits. 2 of them after the decimal point and 8 before.
The biggest possible number would be 99999999.99

Answer 2

You can also do something much shorter:

SELECT FORMAT(2.3332232,'N2')

Answer 3

You can also use below code which helps me:

select convert(numeric(10,2), column_name) as Total from TABLE_NAME

where Total is alias of the field you want.

Answer 4

You can also Make use of the Following if you want to Cast and Round as well. That may help you or someone else.

SELECT CAST(ROUND(Column_Name, 2) AS DECIMAL(10,2), Name FROM Table_Name

Answer 5

select cast(56.66823 as decimal(10,2))

This returns 56.67.
