How can we retrieve the output having decimal values of a column in a specified format?
MySQL FORMAT() function, converts a number to a format like #,###,###.### which is rounded up to the number of decimal places specified and returns the result as a string, can be used to retrieve the output having decimal values of a column in a specified format. To understand it, we are taking an example of table ‘estimated_cost’ which have the following data −
mysql> Select * from estimated_cost; +----+-----------------+-----------+---------------+ | Id | Name_Company | Tender_id | Tender_value | +----+-----------------+-----------+---------------+ | 1 | ABC Ltd. | 110 | 256.3256879 | | 2 | Chd Ltd. | 116 | 8569.25647879 | | 3 | City group Ltd. | 202 | 23647.2365987 | | 4 | Hjkl Ltd. | 215 | 6598.327846 | +----+-----------------+-----------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, suppose if we want to see the values of column ‘Tender_value’ up to some specified number of decimal places then it can be done with the help of the following query −
mysql> Select FORMAT(Tender_value,2) from estimated_cost; +------------------------+ | FORMAT(Tender_value,2) | +------------------------+ | 256.33 | | 8,569.26 | | 23,647.24 | | 6,598.33 | +------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The query above returns the value of Tender_value up to 2 decimal places.
mysql> Select FORMAT(Tender_value,1) from estimated_cost1; +------------------------+ | FORMAT(Tender_value,1) | +------------------------+ | 256.3 | | 8,569.3 | | 23,647.2 | | 6,598.3 | +------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The query above returns the value of Tender_value up to 1 decimal place.
