Question

I am using the following to create a comma formatted number in T-SQL. How can I get rid of the decimal point and the digits after decimal. So if I get 1,112.00 after formatting, how would I get only 1,112?

SELECT CONVERT(varchar, CAST(1112 AS money), 1)

Answer 1

DECLARE @val varchar(50)

set @val = CONVERT(varchar(50), CAST(1112 AS money), 1)
SELECT  left(@val, len(@val) - 3)

This also works with digits after the decimal point:

DECLARE @val varchar(50)

set @val = CONVERT(varchar(50), CAST(1112.56 AS money), 1)
SELECT  left(@val, len(@val) - 3)

Note: as @Mahmoud Gamal points out, formatting is often more suited to be performed in the front-end.
