Round in MS SQL on 0.05 or 0.00

Question

Hello I am coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina and in our county the smallest note bill is 0.05, Now the government pushing us to our retrial prices rounding on 0.05 or at 0.00

Answer 1

There's nothing built-in - but it's easy enough to create:

EDIT : adapted to your special rounding needs :-)

create function dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(@inputValue MONEY)
returns MONEY
as begin
  return FLOOR((@inputValue + 0.05) * 20.0) / 20.0
end

Use the DECIMAL or MONEY data type - whatever suits you best.

Use it like this:

select 
    dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(1.51),
    dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(1.53),
    dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(7.33),
    dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(7.37),
    dbo.RoundToFiveOrZero(7.39)

Which gives you 1.50, 1.50, 7.30, 7.40, 7.40 as results.

ALTER FUNCTION dbo.ufnRound (@number money)
RETURNS money
AS

GO
SELECT dbo.ufnRound (1.22), dbo.ufnRound (1.23), dbo.ufnRound (1.27), dbo.ufnRound (1.28)
