Question

please give me the SQL to count the decimal places in the unit_Price in my Access 2007 query
thank you very much

SELECT SYSADM_PART.ID, SYSADM_PART.UNIT_PRICE
FROM SYSADM_PART;


Answer 1

I think it might be something like this (but I haven’t tried it):

SELECT 
   SYSADM_PART.ID, 
   SYSADM_PART.UNIT_PRICE, 
   (Len([SYSADM_PART.UNIT_PRICE]) - InStrRev(Str([SYSADM_PART.UNIT_PRICE]), ".")) AS decimal_places
FROM SYSADM_PART

This is an educated guess. I assumed Unit_Price is a number, thats why I have converted to a string.

Apologies, if this is wrong.

Let me know if it works, I don’t have anyway to try it!
