Adding Decimal Precision

I need to compare values from two seperate databases, one stores values in pence the other in pounds, so I need to times the pence by 100 to get the same value in pounds. However I also need decimal two precision, ie. xxx.00
Can someone tell me how to do this in a simple select query? I had a brief look at numeric functions but nothing stood out

No need to do anything special. Just:
select ....
from t1,t2
where t1.pence/100=t2.pound;
Oracle doesn't round nor trunc by default:
SQL> select 30033/100 from dual;
>>>
30033/100
300.33
SQL>

How do you set the decimal precision of a float?

Hello,
I am new to Java and have run into a problem. I am trying to truncate an array of floats and save them to a file. I want to save two decimal places with 0's ie: 0 as 0.00
For example:
I have a number 0.9772128 and I want to convert it and store it as 0.98, the following code seems to truncate it but there is a problem.
float d = output_Weights;
d = Math.round(d * 100) / 100.0;
some of my numbers come out as .1 instead of .10 and I can't seem to figure out how to add the 0's on the end of them.
Does anyone have any suggestions or a better way of getting the two decimal precision?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

And if you want to set the decimal precision when you convert the floating point number to text (which is what you are talking about when you say it ends with .1 instead of .10), you use a DecimalFormat object to do that.
(By the way, isn't there supposed to be an apostrophe in Arc'teryx?)

Migrated database from 2008 R2 to 2012 getting wrong decimal precisions

Migrated SQL Server database from 2008R2 to 2012 using backup and restore option
When I do aggregate sum on both the databases 2008 and 2012 decimal precision is coming different. Because of this measure value in SSAS cube browser is calculated wrongly compared to 2008 R2 vs 2012
select SUM(rate) from [InfoDB]
2008 R2 Result
3029520.583895
2012 Result
3029520.58389499
Rate column is float data type Length 8, Precision 53, Scale is null
Please suggest if any work around for this.

Hello,
Does changing the underlying data to decimal possible? Instead of using float. Please try that.
Hope this helps.

Trouble with doubles (adding, setting precision)

Firstly,
I have a loop that adds 0.3 three times. For some reason it comes out as .8999999999999!
Why is this?
Second, does anyone know where I can download a class or view source code that allows you to set decimal precision of a double? I started writing one myself but it's more complex than I thought and I'd rather just use someone elses if I could...

The precision of calculations and how numerical
floating point numbers are handled in computers are is
very relevant for business situations. Actually the
problems with decimal numbers themselves often need to
be understood by those creating the business rules (ie
like the sales people, audit departements, CEOs, etc.)
The precision of the java double itself is unlikely to
ever have an impact on that though.
For example, if a business person asks you to
calculate a mortgage payement then they must
understand exactly the impact that the imprecision of
such decimal calculations will have on the business.
And they must understand it enough so that they can
decide the correct way for handling it. The rules
for handling this case, at least in the
mortgage/banking industry, is going to be far less
the possible precision that a java double can have.
(The reason of course being that how this is handled
d impacts the credits of the lender and the debits of
the lendee.)
Given the above it matters little what data types are
used to handle the calculation itself. But rather
that the calculation is done in such a way that the
business people understand it and that they understand
the limitations of it as well.Okay, I don't disagree with any of that. Still not sure about your overall point though.
* P-L said "don't add doubles in a loop because it compounds rounding errors."
* I said "but if the number of addtions multiplied by the maximum error is still within your error tolerance, it's okay." In other words, Java's double's precision is not necessarily going to be a problem.
* You said some things that seem to agree with that final point, but your "that is fine if your job consists of nothing but evaluating computers, but for the rest of us the errors in the data that we are using..." comment makes it sound like you're disagreeing with my point: "The errors in Java's double may not cause you problems. Know it's limitations, and how they relate to your requirements."
Are you looking for an argument, now that "one exit point" has fizzled? :-) Or am I just being particularly dense today?

Requisition Lines price decimal precision

Dear All,
     I enter a price in Requisition Lines as follow:
       Price             Price (SGD)       Amount (SGD)
    120USD      151.524962766302          151.52It is expected that the price will appear as 151.52 rather than 151.524962766302
My environment is: ORACLE R12.1.3
Regards
Terry

Hi Terry,
Your issue seems to be related to Price and linked to GL Currency conversion and rounding. Basically you are creating a requisition with foreign currency and don't want to restrict the rounding to 2 decimal places.
You can address this issue by setting up the precision under Currencies setup of GL for SGD (GL --> Setup --> Currencies --> Define --> Change Precision as per your requirement) . But the risk is, this change in precision will affect across all modules. It is widely accepted to use rounding to 2 decimal places.
Choice is yours. :)
Kind Regards,
S.P DASH

Adding decimal to an integer

I'm reading 3 digit integers back from a controller in the form of XXX. I need to format them to the form XX.X
Example
245 should read 24.5, or 345 should read 34.5.
Besides the easiest method of just dividing bt 10 is there a labview function that will place the decimal in my integer number where I need it to be?

No, division is just fine.Well, you could multiply with 0.1 instead
If it is just a string: insert a dot char after the 2nd char (as most "controllers" managed by VISA functions deliver strings...).

Is it possible to increase the Transaction Qty... Decimal Precision...

Hi All,
Is it possible to have the Material: Transaction Qty as 7 decimal points?
Eg. 3.1234567
If so, How to achieve this?
Thanks,
K.Nataraja Suthan,

Hi
It would be very complicated to use this as this is at row level and this is probably price or qty and it needs to be calculated every time .
I haven't test it but I think you can use user defined field at row level and use formatted search to get the total .
I know you want to achieve this ,my suggestion would be review your business process and limit it to six digit within SAP limitation .
You can fulfill the request by customization or addon but it will take a lot of effort and other thing is maintenance .
Hope this helps

Adding Decimal Place

Dear Guru
I want to add 5 digits after decimal in my pricing condition types.Pls suggest how to make this settings
Thanx
MK

Dear MK,
The transaction OY04 is the correct to define decimal places based on currency. However, before you
made the changes, please kindly make sure you don't have existing or not completing purchasing document
in your system as this will affect the document that may create inconsistency later.

New question....adding decimal places...

Ok my assignment is thus:The Lone Oak High School Marching Band is raising funds by selling fruit. In order to simplify processing of orders, only three types of packages of fruit are being sold. They are
Box of Apples at a cost of $14.00
Box of Peaches at a cost of $16.00
Box of Oranges at a cost of $18.00
There is a 10.00% tax on the total order amount. Write a Java program that reads the number of each type package on an order and computes the cost for the packages of each type ordered. Total the order, calculate the tax on the order, and the total including the tax. Print all items read and all items calculated with appropriate labels.
Example:
Boxes of Apples: 2
Boxes of Peaches: 3
Boxes of Oranges: 4
Total cost of the fruit: 148.00
Tax: 14.80
Total Amount Due: 162.80
Now ive got the program to work exactly as it should but for neatness i want it to have 2 decimal places. When it runs, ill use the above as an example, it cuts off the second decimal. Is there a nice way to add the the second decimal place?
Edited by: chaoticglee on Jan 30, 2008 3:40 PM

Try this as an example:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class ex
    final static double HOTDOG_COST = 10.00;
    final static double TAX = 0.05;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        DecimalFormat money = new DecimalFormat("$0.00");
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("How many hotdogs do you want? ");
        double subTotal = in.nextInt() * HOTDOG_COST;
        double taxCost = subTotal * TAX;
        double total = subTotal + taxCost;
        System.out.println("Cost of food: " + money.format(subTotal));
        System.out.println("Tax: " + money.format(taxCost));
        System.out.println("Total: " + money.format(total));
}

Grid and Precision by decimal on V & H Transform

hi,
fantastic this new Lens Corrections on Camara Raw 6.1!
I would like to see grid for precion on architecture photography, and from 0 to 1 on vertical and horizontal most of the time need a decimal precision.
On Photoshop this decimal precion 0,1;0,2:... miss too.
Cromatic Aberration not so perfect as Nikon Capture NX2.
On Camera Profile why still "Camera D2X mode..." and not "Camera D3X mode..."?
Many Thanks to all on Adobe Team and Forum People.
Armenio Teixeira

There is a grid, available for use in the Lens Correction panel. Go to the flyout menu and choose "Show Grid." (Or press the V key.)

3 Decimal place values for Amount Key Figure

Hi Experts,
I have created an ODS in BI 7.0. This has a amount key figure which is getting calculated by a routine. Now The value that is getting calculated is getting stored into the ODS with only two decimal places.
For example if the value that is gettig calculates is 0.187 by the code, the values that is getting stored is 0.19.
This is not related to Bex display. We need to store the values 0.187 in the system and not 0.19.
The Amount key figure that we are using is of unit 0DOC_CURRENCY . In Additional properties, 'key figure with maximum precision' check box is ticked is . We have not defined any decimal places for the BEX Display.
Kindly help us in this matter.

Hi Saurabh,
If you wish to change the decimal precision for your 0DOC_CURRENCY... you can use t.code CUNI to change the number of decimal places. But, then this would be global effect wherein whereever this infoobject is used it would be reflected with the changes you made in CUNI. Also check if you have authorization to change this.

Kishore

OBIEE-Values after decimal changing after download in excel format

Hi,
I have reports in OBIEE 11g,in which some columns have values in %.When i try the various export/download functions and noticed that the Excel download did not maintain the fomatting for pecentage values, they fields go out to about 12 decimal places or so.
For eg..if a value in report is like 12.54
After export in Excel it looks like 12.546780393345 .
As i want the same format,pls suggest the solution.

Precision loss - conversions between exact values and floating point values

Hi!
I read this in your SQL Reference manual, but I don't quite get it.
Conversions between exact numeric values (TT_TINYINT, TT_SMALLINT, TT_INTEGER, TT_BIGINT, NUMBER) and floating-point values (BINARY_FLOAT, BINARY_DOUBLE) can be inexact because the exact numeric values use decimal precision whereas the floating-point numbers use binary precision.
Could you please give two examples: one where a TT_TINYINT is converted to a BINARY_DOUBLE and one when a TT_BIGINT is converted into a DOUBLE, both cases give examples on lost precision? This would be very helpful.
Thanks!

How to use Time Format with decimal to calculate races cars. ss,ddd ?

In excell there are a user defined format MM:SS.000 very convenient to use in races with decimal precision.
So in a race car we can have lap times like
Car 1 - 1:23.234
Car 2 - 1:23.132
so the diference can be calculate and the result is 0.102.
But in NUMBERS therer are no way to use with this precision.
Somebidy has the same problem?

Hi hi ni,
I'm not sure if I understood you, but you can try doing this.
Create a variable for 0calyear. The user will input the year.
In the report you use this:
0calmonth - NumberOfEmployeesKF
If the user enters 2008, then it will show:
01.2008 - nnn
02.2008 - xxx
03.2008 - zzz
Hope this helps.

Diego
