How to SELECT round up number in SQL Server

Question

I have a salary table with this column

EMPLOYEE_NAME    SALARY
------------------------
ANNA             113750
MARRY            124300
BELLA            105100
<         


        

Answer 1

Unlike ROUND (which rounds up and down) the CELING function (which you want to round up) has no length parameter (as in ROUND(salary, -3)). So divide and multiply to get the desired result:

select employee_name, ceiling(salary / 1000.0) * 1000.0 as salary
from mytable;
