Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Format A Calculated Column in a Query?
Good afternoon,
I am try to figure out how to format a calculated column in a query but am not finding how to do it or if I can do it?
Here is my Query and Results:
SQL> Select RTRIM(Members.LastName), RTRIM(Members.FirstName),
Position.Position, Campus.CampusName, (Position.YearlyMembershipFee / 12) AS
Monthly_Dues
2 From Members, Position, Campus
3 Where Members.PositionID = Position.PositionID
4 And Members.CampusID = Campus.CampusID
5 Order by Campus.CampusName DESC, Members.LastName;
RTRIM(MEMBERS.LASTNAME) RTRIM(MEMBERS.FIRSTN POSITION CAMPUSNAME MONTHLY_DUES -------------------------------------------------- -------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------ Bradley Wilson Associate Professor Purdue University 75.0416667 Joe Brady Associate Professor Purdue University 75.0416667 Sebastian Cole Full Professor Purdue University 41.7083333 Dave Davidson Assistant Professor Indiana University 72.9583333 Ellen Monk Full Professor Indiana University 41.7083333 Michael Doo Lecturer Indiana University 87.5416667 Bob House Professor IUPUI 58.3958333 Bridget Stanley Lecturer IUPUI 87.5416667 Jerome Clark Lecturer IUPUI 87.5416667
My Column for Calculating Monthly dues are coming out with 7 places on the right of the decimal point but I would like that to only have 2. The YearlyMembershipFee column in the table was created as NUMBER(7,2) so I am guessing that that format does not carry to the new calculated field?
Thanks for the help,
