Error Converting Data Type Varchar To Float
Nov 19 '12 at 15:10 Why are you storing a balance in a varchar column? –Aaron Bertrand Nov 19 '12 at 15:14 just how its imported –user1296762 Nov 19 '12 at 15:19 1 Well if you don't fix the data type you are going to continue having problems with numeric calculations every time more non-numeric junk gets into this column. I still think your best approach should be (a) get rid of the junk in this column, (b) fix the data type, (c) fix the process that keeps putting non-numeric junk into this column. –Aaron Bertrand Nov 19 '12 at 16:16 | show 2 more comments 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted The problem is likely that you have non-numeric data in your balance column. If the data were valid, you wouldn't even need a CAST. SUM(ISNULL((balance-current_balance_amount)/100 ,0)) AS bal_diff From CAST and CONVERT: Implicit conversions are those conversions that occur without specifying either the CAST or CONVERT function. VARCHAR to NUMERIC or FLOAT are examples of this. Since you are dealing with balance, which likely has decimal places and possible "$", a CAST to MONEY should fix your issue. SUM(ISNULL((CAST(balance AS MONEY)-current_balance_amount)/100 ,0)) If you have other non-numeric data in your balance column that is still causing an issue

In order to do that I'm casting the strings in to decimals, add them up and then cast it back to string for the output. Also using max to avoid duplication entries. I have the following line in my SP: Cast( Max(CASE WHEN QuestionID = 261 THEN CAST(Answer AS decimal) ELSE '' http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16356215/error-converting-data-type-varchar-to-numeric-when-casting-varcharmax-to-decim END) + Max(CASE WHEN QuestionID = 260 THEN CAST(Answer AS decimal) ELSE '' END) AS varchar) as Total The Answer field is varchar(max) and default value is ''.

In this case, it cannot both return a decimal and a varchar (empty string ''). Due to type precedence the result from either branch is cast to a decimal. If ANY row has QuestionID != 261, it will try to cast that '' into decimal, and bam - your error. You need this: Cast( Max(CASE WHEN QuestionID IN (261,260) AND ISNUMERIC(ANSWER) = 1 THEN CAST(Answer AS decimal) ELSE 0 END) AS varchar) as Total share|improve this answer edited May 3 '13 at 10:37 answered May 3 '13 at 10:05 RichardTheKiwi 71.2k16107175 Still getting the error m

Example 1,83 is a string field in the SQL Server. I want to transform that to a number. Can somebody help me?THXDeniz Thursday, February 25, 2010 3:25 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote The string '1,8' is not a valid numeric value.select cast(replace('1,8', ',', '.') as numeric(5, 2)) as c1;GOAMB Actually error converting it is if you CAST it to MONEY (LOL):SELECT CAST('1,8' AS money)/* 18.0000 */When you CAST a string as MONEY, T-SQL will just erase any commas before the conversion.But, of course, this is not what the OP requested... I just threw it in there for laughs.SELECT CAST(',1,,2,3,,,4,5,6,7,,,.8,9,,' AS money)/* 1234567.8900 */--Brad (My Blog) Marked as answer by Nai-dong Jin - MSFTModerator Tuesday, March 02, 2010 3:10 AM Thursday, February 25, error converting data 2010 5:36 PM Reply | Quote Moderator 0 Sign in to vote Brad,> Actually it is if you CAST it to MONEY (LOL):That is a flaw and could bring some confusion because in other countries, the value 1,8 is similar to 1.8 in our system, and not equal to 18.So, if SS uses different approach to interpret a string when converting it money than converting it to numeric, then Ihave to be more specific and say that the string '1,8' is not a valid numeric value, but it is a valid money value, I guess :)))).AMB Marked as answer by Nai-dong Jin - MSFTModerator Tuesday, March 02, 2010 3:10 AM Thursday, February 25, 2010 6:00 PM Reply | Quote Moderator All replies 0 Sign in to vote Replace the commas with periods/full-stops:SELECT CAST(REPLACE(MyString,',','.')
