How to format int to price format in SQL? - sql-server-2008

Question

I select the price 1000000 and I need to format it to $1,000,000. How can I do that in SQL?

Answer 1

To format with commas, you can use CONVERT with a style of 1:
declare #money money = 1000000
select '$' + convert(varchar, #money, 1)
will produce $1,000,000.00
If you want to remove the last 3 characters:
select '$' + left(convert(varchar, #money, 1), charindex('.', convert(varchar, #money, 1)) - 1)
and if you want to round rather than truncate:
select '$' + left(convert(varchar, #money + $0.50, 1), charindex('.', convert(varchar, #money, 1)) - 1)

Answer 2

Creating Function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[f_FormatMoneyValue]
(
#MoneyValue money
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN cast(#MoneyValue as numeric(36,2))
END
Using in Select Query:
Select dbo.f_FormatMoneyValue(isnull(SalesPrice,0))SalesPrice from SalesOrder
Output:
100.00
Formatting Money Value with '$' sign:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[f_FormatMoneyWithDollar]
(
#MoneyValue money
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN '$' + convert(varchar, #MoneyValue, 1)
END
Output:
$100.00
Note: The above sample is for the money field. You can modify this function according to your needs
Hope this helps you..! :D

Answer 3

SELECT FORMAT(price, 'C2', 'en-us')

Answer 4

The SQL Server money datatype is just decimal(10, 4). To my knowledge there is no datatype that will present the way you want.
Adding the dollar sign and commas is something that should belong in the application logic, but if you really must do it through a database object consider adding the dollar sign, and commas every three characters (after the decimal point). In other words, you'll have to convert the int to varchar and do string manipulation.

Answer 5

It depends, however, there's no simple way to do it in standard SQL specs(SQL-92, SQL-2003, etc.).
For PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL and Oracle PL/SQL, you can use to_char to format numbers:
select to_char(1234567.123, 'FM$999,999,999.99')
Which gives output:
$1,234,567.12
