Remove trailing zeros in decimal value with changing length

Question

I have a procedure I am doing that displays odds but the client wants only significant digits to be shown. So, 1.50 would show as \'1.5\' and 1.00 would show as \'1\'.

Answer 1

Easiest way by far, just add zero!

Examples:

SET 
    @yournumber1="1.500", 
    @yournumber2="23.030",
    @yournumber3="2.000",
    @yournumber4="4.450"
;

SELECT 
    (@yournumber1+0),
    (@yournumber2+0),
    (@yournumber3+0),
    (@yournumber4+0)
;

+------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------+
| (@yournumber1+0) | (@yournumber2+0) | (@yournumber3+0) | (@yournumber4+0) |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------+
|              1.5 |            23.03 |                2 |             4.45 |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------+

If the column your value comes from is DECIMAL or NUMERIC type, then cast it to string first to make sure the conversion takes place...ex:

SELECT (CAST(`column_name` AS CHAR)+0) FROM `table_name`;

For a shorter way, just use any built-in string function to do the cast:

SELECT TRIM(`column_name`)+0 FROM `table_name`;

Answer 2

Here's what worked for me:

SINGLE COLUMN:

SELECT TRIM(column_name)+0 AS column_name FROM table_name;

MULTIPLE COLUMNS:

SELECT 
TRIM(column1)+0 AS column1,
TRIM(column2)+0 AS column2,   
TRIM(column3)+0 AS column3,
FROM table_name;

Answer 3

Using ROUND or CEILING, in the query you just have to type:

SELECT ROUND(2/50) 

or

SELECT CEILING(2/50)

Answer 4

Try this simply updated Query to remove decimal zeros

SELECT TRIM(TRAILING '.00' FROM price_column)
FROM table_name

Answer 5

Taking fragments of the others answers in this page I came to this conclusion:

SELECT ( IF(
    myfield LIKE '%.%', 
    TRIM(TRAILING '.' FROM TRIM(TRAILING '0' FROM myfield)),
    myfield
) ) FROM mytable

Cheers

Answer 6

EDIT: I would use the answer below by Christopher McGowan instead - adding 0 to the value, which is better, instead.

It's important to check there is actually a decimal point if doing trimming.

So I think you'd want to use:

SELECT TRIM(TRAILING '.' FROM TRIM(TRAILING '0' from yourfield)) AS yourfield
FROM yourtable
WHERE yourfield LIKE '%.%'
