Hi Pablolee,

I tried the following case expresson and its not working -

select (case net_weight WHEN 0.% then 1
else net_weight
end) from SO_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS;

Example of my requirement -

Existing Column Values Required Column Values
0.23 1
1.23 1.23
2.45 2.45
0.78 1.00
0.56 1.00
0.41 1.00
0.96 1.00



Thanks & Regards

Reread your college notes / study book before going any further.
Focus on the section "Datatypes"

[Edit: On second thought, reread them all]

Because you treat a number datatype like a character datatype in your query.

Sort of, the actual syntax isn't valid even for chars.

And you can't work out how to code a between?
There's one way of doing it already posted in this thread.

SELECT CASE net_weight 
       WHEN net_weight < 1.00 THEN 1
       ELSE net_weight
       END 
FROM SO_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS;


(assuming the column is a numeric data type)

Migth work this way, not sure.. coz right now I dont have access to DB to check... am a novice.. Smile

@Neo06
You provide erroneous code

SQL> create table tbl
  2  (net_weight number(5,2));

Table created.

SQL> insert into tbl values(0.5);

1 row created.

SQL> insert into tbl values(1.5);

1 row created.

SQL> SELECT CASE net_weight 
  2         WHEN net_weight < 1.00 THEN 1
  3         ELSE net_weight
  4         END 
  5  FROM tbl;
       WHEN net_weight < 1.00 THEN 1
                       *

Here is the correct one.
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

  1  SELECT CASE
  2         WHEN net_weight < 1.00 THEN 1
  3         ELSE net_weight
  4         END
  5* FROM tbl
SQL> /

CASEWHENNET_WEIGHT<1.00THEN1ELSENET_WEIGHTEND
---------------------------------------------
                                            1
                                          1.5

The provided code in the last few post all forget to take into account negative numbers. The Orignal Poster clearly stated that only numbers between 0 and 1 need to be converted.
That is NOT the same as all numbers < 1

Couple of minor things neo, neither of them actual problems as far as execution goes:
No need for the extra zeros:
WHEN net_weight  > 0 and net_weight < 1 THEN 1

add an alias nto expression columns, just to keep things tidy.

Agree with pablolee sir

Quote:
I have a requirement of converting values of a column between
0 and 1 to 1.


Quote:
select (case net_weight WHEN 0.% then 1


And to convert 0 into 1, condition should be like

WHEN net_weight  >= 0 and net_weight < 1 THEN 1
