ROUND function in SQL
Kyle here 👋
A common mistake Data Analysts make (and one I’ve made myself) is including too many decimal places and making l stakeholders.
SQL provides a versatile function called ROUND
that helps you combat this.
The ROUND
function takes two arguments:
The number you want to round
The number of decimal places to round to.
If you pass a positive value as the second argument, it rounds to that many decimal places.
A negative value will round to the left of the decimal point and passing zero will round the number to the nearest integer.
Here’s an example where we have a table named product_prices and we want to round the prices multiple ways:
In this example, the query uses the ROUND
function to round the prices to 2 decimal places, the nearest integer, and the nearest multiple of 10.
As a result, we can see the rounded prices for each product in our dataset.
Happy rounding 🟠
import memes as 😂
