Rounding off to two decimal places in SQL

I need to convert minutes to hours, rounded off to two decimal places. I also need to display only up to two numbers after the decimal point. So if I have minutes as 650, then hours should be 10.83.

Here's what I have so far:

Select round(Minutes/60.0,2) from ....

But in this case, if my minutes is, say, 630 - hours is 10.5000000. But I want it as 10.50 only (after rounding). How do I achieve this?

Solution

  • You could cast your result as numeric(x,2). Where x <= 38.

    select
    round(630/60.0,2),
    cast(round(630/60.0,2) as numeric(36,2))

    Returns

    10.500000    10.50
