Truncate not round decimal places in SQL Server

Question

I m trying to determine the best way to truncate or drop extra decimal places in SQL without rounding   For example   declare  value decimal 18 2   set  value   123 456   This will automatically round  value to be 123 46  which is good in most cases   However  for this project  I don t need that   Is there a simple way to truncate the decimals I don t need   I know I can use the left   function and convert back to a decimal   Are there any other ways

SELECT CAST Value as Decimal 10 2   FROM TABLE NAME    Would give you 2 values after the decimal point   MS SQL SERVER

Here s the way I was able to truncate and not round     select 100 0019- 100 0019  001    returns 100 0010  And your example     select 123 456- 123 456  001    returns 123 450  Now if you want to get rid of the ending zero  simply cast it   select cast  123 456- 123 456  001   as decimal  18 2     returns 123 45

Actually whatever the third parameter is  0 or 1 or 2  it will not round your value   CAST ROUND 10 0055 2 0  AS NUMERIC 10 2

I think we can go much easier with simpler example solution found in Hackerrank      Problem statement  Query the greatest value of the Northern Latitudes    LAT N  from STATION that is less than 137 2345  Truncate your answer   to 4 decimal places    SELECT TRUNCATE MAX LAT N  4  FROM STATION WHERE LAT N  lt  137 23453    Solution Above gives you idea how to simply make value limited to 4 decimal points  If you want to lower or upper the numbers after decimal  just change 4 to whatever you want

I know this is pretty late but I don t see it as an answer and have been using this trick for years   Simply subtract  005 from your value and use Round  num 2    Your example   declare  num decimal 9 5    123 456  select round  num- 005 2    returns 123 45  It will automatically adjust the rounding to the correct value you are looking for   By the way  are you recreating the program from the movie Office Space

ROUND number  decimals  operation   number   gt  Required  The number to be rounded decimals   gt  Required  The number of decimal places to round number to operation   gt  Optional  If 0  it rounds the result to the number of decimal  If another value than 0  it truncates the result to the number of decimals  Default value is 0 SELECT ROUND 235 415  2  1   will give you 235 410 SELECT ROUND 235 415  0  1   will give you 235 000 But now trimming0 you can use cast SELECT CAST ROUND 235 415  0  1  AS INT   will give you 235

Another way is ODBC TRUNCATE function   DECLARE  value DECIMAL 18 3   123 456   SELECT  value AS val   fn TRUNCATE  value  2   AS result   LiveDemo  Output    -------------------       val      result       --------- ---------      123 456    123 450     -------------------    Remark   I recommend using built-in ROUND function with 3rd parameter set to 1
