Drop 0 value in decimal places

E.g : A field name percent have these values

Percent

770.00000000000000000000,

Answer 1

This rather nasty TSQL might just do the job :

select 
  case 
    right(
       cast(cast([percent] as decimal(9,2)) as nvarchar(11))
    ,2)

    when '00' then cast(cast([percent] as int) as nvarchar(11)) as [percent]
    else cast(cast([percent] as decimal(9,2)) as nvarchar(11)) as [percent]

 end
from table

of course it is always returning a string, but that's inherent to your demands, you are looking for a representation for a value...

I think you should postpone that representation to where it makes more sense (report, datagrid?) and you have more tools (like string.format kinda tools) to do the job better.
