Trouble with Rounding Columns

    I am using SQL through an Excel spreadsheet. Problem is, my code is giving me a headache. I have a column that displays the total of completed invites then another that displays the total invites sent. Now there is a third column that would display the % of invites complete, meaning total complete divided by total sent. I am having trouble getting the percentage to show up correctly. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

    Can you post the formula you are using at the moment and tell us the rounding you are trying to achieve?

    case (Select Count(*) from ECSQ1Production..contact where (Nominatedforsurvey='true' and TPAccountID=Contact_InterimDbAccountId and NominatedforSurvey='true' and contactsurveystatus='complete'))

    when '0' then '0'

    else

    (Select convert(numeric(5,2),Count(*)) from ECSQ1Production..contact where (Nominatedforsurvey='true' and TPAccountID=Contact_InterimDbAccountId and NominatedforSurvey='true' and contactsurveystatus='complete'))/(Select convert(numeric(5,2),Count(*)) from ECSQ1Production..contact where (InitialEmailInviteDate is not null and TPAccountID=Contact_InterimDbAccountId and NominatedforSurvey='true'))

    end as [% Complete],

    Problem:

    SELECT 1/10

    Solution:

    SELECT 1/10.0

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

    Many newbies are not beware of implicit convertions 🙂
