Hie everybody,

I have a problem with the following,

I have a table with a row containing numbers with 2 decimal places.

I want to count the sum of these numbers but my valuw returned is far to
high. I think the SUM string doesn't look at the decimal place.

The same is with the AVG string

Here are the ones I tried :

set rs = db.execute("Select SUM(ePrize) from tbleventinfo")
if rs.EOF = false then
aveprize = Formatnumber(rs.fields.item(0),2)
else
aveprize = 0
end if
set rs = Nothing


and

set rs = db.execute("Select AVG(ePrize) from tbleventinfo")
if rs.EOF = false then
aveprize = Formatnumber(rs.fields.item(0),2)
else
aveprize = 0
end if
set rs = Nothing



Can anybody help me allong the way?!

Thanks in advance,

Willem-Jan Selen

Ok here's a copy of my row
the result of the AVG string which I wrote down below is 2.810,29 the SUM
string produces the following 95.550,00 which is the exact total of the
average...

Hope any body can help ?

Hmm - I'm not sure how it would handle the ',' in there - that's not a
decimal place - it's a comma.

Maybe you have to explicitly convert the field contents to a decimal(10,2)
etc. to get the correct sum and avg values?

Chris.

Re: Number format problems with SUM and AVG by Mark

What is the datatype of the eprize column?
What DBMS are you using?
Is the locale numeric format on the DBMS server the same as the format on
the web-server?

What value do you get for aveprize?
What do you get if you leave out formatnumber and just display the raw
results?

If you execute "select count(eprize) from tblEventInfo" do you get the
expected number of rows?

Re: Number format problems with SUM and AVG by Willem-Jan

Alright I solved it with the following

Set rs = db.execute("Select * from tblEventinfo where evalid = true")
prize = 0
if rs.EOF = false then
while not rs.EOF
wj = rs("eprize")
prize = prize + wj
rs.moveNext
wend
End If
set rs = Nothing



and displaying the final value as
Formatnumber(prize,2)



and the averge number by using

set rs = db.execute("Select COUNT(eID) from tblEventInfo where evalid =
true")
if rs.EOF = false then
numOfparty = rs.fields.item(0)
else
numOfparty = 0
end if
set rs = Nothing


then dispaying the average
aveprize = prize / numofparty
echo Formatnumber(aveprize2,2)

And I know PRICE is not spelled PRIZE but does it mather in all of the
coding?

Thanx for all the help,

Re: Number format problems with SUM and AVG by Chris

You can do this in one single SQL statement but you will have to handle the
column datatype yourself in the SQL statement. your solution relies on the
fact that the system locale understands the numeric format.

Have a look at CONVERT and CAST in SQL Books Online?

Well, I guess that will work, but I wouldn't trust my DBMS to do anything
right if it didn't give me an accurate value for the SUM of a column!!!!
