Decimal number not showing

Get Help

There might be a version issue in Metabase.

When I write
SELECT 2/10
it shows 0.00000.

It should show 0.2

Can anyone help here????

I'm using version v1.42.4 Built on 2022-04-07

Hi @shaonyuvi
Most databases would return zero because it's two integers. You can try running the following directly on your database SELECT cast(2/10 as varchar)
You have to do something like SELECT 2::float/10

It is not my database issue, because I used sample database for this query.

@shaonyuvi H2 is a database too.

This is my query

SELECT(
SELECT COUNT(*) Active_Projects FROM
(SELECT ProjectID, ProjectStatusID, ClientID
FROM project) a
INNER JOIN 
(SELECT ProjectStatusID, ClientID, ProjectStatusName
FROM ProjectStatus) b
ON (a.ProjectStatusID = b.ProjectStatusID AND a.ClientID = b.ClientID)
WHERE ProjectStatusName LIKE '%active%'
AND a.ClientID = 4)
/
(SELECT COUNT(*) Total_Projects
FROM Project
WHERE ClientID=4)

Can you please help me to rewrite it?

@shaonyuvi Just add ::float to the end

SELECT
  (SELECT COUNT(*) Active_Projects
   FROM
     (SELECT ProjectID, ProjectStatusID, ClientID
      FROM project) a
   INNER JOIN
     (SELECT ProjectStatusID, ClientID, ProjectStatusName
      FROM ProjectStatus) b ON (a.ProjectStatusID = b.ProjectStatusID
                                AND a.ClientID = b.ClientID)
   WHERE ProjectStatusName LIKE '%active%'
     AND a.ClientID = 4)
  /
  (SELECT COUNT(*) Total_Projects
   FROM Project
   WHERE ClientID=4)::float

Float to the END is not working,

But this query is working here.

SELECT 2::float/10
It shows 0.2 in result.

This query is not working

@shaonyuvi

Since I have absolutely no idea which database type you are querying, then I don't know.

Post "Diagnostic Info" from Admin > Troubleshooting.

Try searching you database documentation, or use the CAST(... AS FLOAT) function if your database type has that.

Not working,

I'm trying still.
