Hi, If anyone could help me with this. I need to round all these numbers in the DECODE but without repeating ROUND.
This way works:

SELECT title "Title", category "Category",retail "Current Price",
DECODE(category,
'COMPUTER',(ROUND(retail * 1.1,2)),
'FITNESS', (ROUND(retail * 1.15,2)),
'SELF HELP', (ROUND(retail * 1.25,2)),
(ROUND(retail * 1.03,2)))"Revised Price"
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;

But I need something more like this:

SELECT title "Title", category "Category",retail "Current Price",
DECODE (ROUND((category,
'COMPUTER',retail * 1.1,
'FITNESS', retail * 1.15,
'SELF HELP', retail * 1.25,
retail * 1.03)"Revised Price"),2)
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;

so that ROUND is not repeated more than once..they all need to be rounded to two decimal places.
any help would be great. Thanks

ROUND(DECODE(category, 'COMPUTER',retail * 1.1,
'FITNESS', retail * 1.15,
'SELF HELP', retail * 1.25,
retail * 1.03),2) "Revised Price"
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;

Use ROUND outside DECODE.

Don't post your title in UPPER.
Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version with 4 decimals.

Regards
Michel
