Decimal postion issue

Mitch_A

I setup a website for my softball team to use which includes a database that
keeps statistics.

Ive got everything working just fine but my queries for batting average show
the decimal positions incorrectly. I want them to show up as .389 not
..38943343243. Ive researched SQL for weeks now and I can find the
NUMERIC(4,3) statement but I cant seem to get it into the working query.
Would the ROUND function work?

Here is the query

SELECT sum(Hits)/(sum(ABs)-sum(Walks))
FROM Results

Can someone PLEASE show me where it goes?

TIA

Mitch
 
Try

SELECT sum(Hits)/(sum(ABs)-sum(Walks)) AS BatAvg FROM Results

Then display is as
<% =Round(BatAvg,3) %>

Or better still use
SELECT sum(Hits) AS AllHits, (sum(ABs) AS AtBats ,sum(Walks) as AtWalks FROM Results

<% BatAvg=Round(AllHits/(AtBats-AtWal),3) %>

I tried this but the query failed no matter how I entered it.
Or better still use

As before Im not real sure where this goes even had the query worked.

Thanks you very much for any help past and future!

My code samples were for hand coded ASP, not for use w/ the DB results wizard

If you have used the query
SELECT sum(Hits)/(sum(ABs)-sum(Walks)) AS BatAvg FROM Results

Find in the displayed DBRW the field by FP DBRW using : BatAvg
- probably as something like: =FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"BatAvg")
and wrap it in the Round Function as
=Round(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"BatAvg"),3)

I think Im getting really close thanks.

I found the entry in the DBRW <%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"BatAvg")%

I can easily change it but when I save the page a dialog box pops up telling
me "The contents of a FrontPage component have been modified. These
contents will be overwritten when you save this page". I click OK and my
changes are reverted back as before. Any ideas? Ive checked the
attributes and its not read only.

Thanks again.

Can you make the change in the gray-colored code? If so, do that, and save
the change while you're still in Code View.

This is the section from the HTML view.
%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"BatAvg")% and its Maroon. I change it to
%=Round(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"BatAvg"),3)
It just will not accept this change and reverts back.
