  • 0

I’m using SQL Server 2005. And I’m using ROUND T-SQL function to round a decimal column value. But it seems that the rounded value is incorrect.

    PRINT ROUND(1890.124854, 2) => 1890.120000

As shown the ROUND function is returning 1890.12 where as it should be 1890.13. Does anyone encountered this and what should be the correct way of rounding so that I get the expected value 1890.13..?

Thanks.

    ROUND() is working as it was intended to. You specified to round to 2 decimal places, and that’s what you got.

    Returns a numeric value, rounded to the specified length or precision.

    Rounding means that a digit of 5 or above goes up to nearest, less than 5 down to nearest.

    so, 

    PRINT ROUND(1890.125000, 2)

    produces 1890.130000

    Whereas

    PRINT ROUND(1890.124999, 2)

    produces 1890.120000
