how te enter decimals?

Posted on by verbani 60

Hi,

 

I have got a small application that takes data from an SQL Azure database table.

In the edit screen I need to fill in a number for an amount in hours. This works fine when I entry a numbers without decimals.

When I enter 36,5 he sets it to 365. He does the same when I enter the value as 36.5, he changes it to 365.

The column in my table that is taking the value is a Numeric(18,2) datatype so that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Anyone any idea's? 

 

Regards,

nico

    Hi Verbani,

     

    In SQL Azure database, I created a column with the data type Numeric(18,2), when I filled 76,89 in the column, it would be set to 7689.00, when I filled 76.89, it would be set to 76.89. Did you try it on your table?
    In your App, did you configure any functions to convert the number?

     

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao

    I would guess that in azure this basicly works. I've worked with other tables and numeric data types in sql azure without any problems.

     

    I didn't apply any formatting. The app is created from the table, and no changes have been made to that part.

    Did a test and no problem entering a decimal value in the table in SQL Azure.

    A small update.

    The problem seems to persist on the mobile device.

     

    I've opened the app in my browser and did the change there, and then he accepts the value 0.5

    When doing exactlyt the same app on my iPhone, I get an error for invalid format.

     

    regards,
