Hi,

I would like round a numeric value to 4 decial places but the last decimal should be rounded up to 10th place.

i.e.
Old Value: 1.23456 should be rounded to
New Value: 1.2346

and

Old Value: 1.23451 should be also rounded to
New Value: 1.2346

Is there any predefined oracle function for this?

Your valuable help will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Amit.

You could use the ceil() function with appropriate multiplication/division, like :

SELECT Ceil(  1.88881 * 10000) / 10000 FROM dual
union
SELECT Ceil(  1.88880 * 10000) / 10000 FROM dual;

add .00005 to old_value before rounding.

I will try to find the Better approach as i am about to complete my day .
here is one way of doing that by using hell lot of mathematical calculations.


step:1  
 
 select mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10) from dual
 
 step:2 
 
 select length(mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10))-1 from dual
 
 Step3:
 
 select 1.2345671*power(10,length(mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10))-1)  from dual
 
 step4: finding the Mod
 
  select  CASE WHEN mod(1.2345671*power(10,length(mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10))-1),10)< 5
  then round(1.2345671,length(mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10))-1-2)
  else round(1.2345671,length(mod((1.2345671)-trunc(1.2345671),10))-1-1)
  end  from dual


I tried this by taking couple of examples it worked fine
try to use in a function and call this function to achieve what u need.(atleast for now , I guess there will be a better way to do this, will try to work on tomorrow)

select  CASE WHEN mod(1.2345*power(10,length(mod((1.2345)-trunc(1.2345),10))-1),10)< 5
  then round(1.2345,length(mod((1.2345)-trunc(1.2345),10))-1-2)
  else round(1.2345,length(mod((1.2345)-trunc(1.2345),10))-1-1)
  end  from dual



  select  CASE WHEN mod(1.23759*power(10,length(mod((1.23759)-trunc(1.23759),10))-1),10)< 5
  then round(1.23759,length(mod((1.23759)-trunc(1.23759),10))-1-2)
  else round(1.23759,length(mod((1.23759)-trunc(1.23759),10))-1-1)
  end  from dual

number 1.234 --- ?
number = 1.89765--?

so , need to be modify the solution given by the Michel accrodingly.

Ok,But what if you want to round numeric value to 6 decial places ,3 decial places....etc..,

I mean rounding of decimal places is based on the number
and if you want to round the last but one to the next value,
then what?

Suppose, In the column if the values are 1.234,
1.456789,
1.20987654

Then ?

this is what i try to explain.

This is fully meaningless and silly, tell us what can be the business need.

Hi, My business need is to just round the value upto 4 decimal places but the 4th decimal should be towards higher side of 10.

Eg: 1.23456 should be 1.2346
and 1.23451 Should also be 1.2346

Thanks.
Amit.

Just be careful that this scenario is what you want:-

select round(1.23451 + 0.00005,4) from dual;
--1.2346
select round(1.23450 + 0.00005,4) from dual;
--1.2346


You might need 1.23450 to stay as it is..

In this case, just add 0.000049999999999999999999999999999.

Hi, Thanks for your response.

I want my round function to be dynamically rounding values.
I have create this function.
Please let me know if this is a viable solution.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Com_Roundtouppervalue_Fun(pi_Number IN NUMBER, pi_howMuchSigniDigits IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
IS
BEGIN
RETURN TO_NUMBER(CEIL(pi_Number*POWER(10,pi_howMuchSigniDigits))/POWER(10,pi_howMuchSigniDigits));
END Com_Roundtouppervalue_Fun;
/

SELECT Com_Roundtouppervalue_Fun(1.23456, 4) FROM dual
-- 1.2346

SELECT Com_Roundtouppervalue_Fun(1.23451, 4) FROM dual
-- 1.2346

Thanks a lot for your response.
Amit.

It is silly to create YOUR function when there already is a built-in one.

I agree with Michael.

Use the built in's whever possible, they are so much faster and everyone knows how they work.

One viable argument for a user defined function could however be that there is the need to round values by the same "business rule" in hundreds of places, and you expect this business rule to change in the future.

( And I learned early that you better expect ALL business rules to change sooner or later. )
