See the full list of Standard Numeric Format specifiers to see how precision specifiers affect the output from each format specifier. In other cases it will be ignored altogether. For some format specifiers, it will specify the total number of digits in the result, for others it will specify the number of decimal places. How it works depends on the format specifier being used. They can be a value from 0 to 99, which specifies the precision of the result. In these examples, the 1 and 7 are known as precision specifiers. HereвЂ™s another example, this time using N1 to specify that we only want one decimal place: SELECT FORMAT(1, 'N1') Д«ut you can also increase the number of decimal places too: SELECT FORMAT(1, 'N7') This argument is case-insensitive, so either N or n is fine. This particular format specifier ( N) results in the output being formatted with integral and decimal digits, group separators, and a decimal separator with optional negative sign. This is the standard numeric format specifier for Number. In this case, I used N as the second argument. HereвЂ™s an example: SELECT FORMAT(1, 'N') A format string defines how the output should be formatted. The format is supplied as a format string. This function accepts three arguments the number, the format, and an optional вЂњcultureвЂќ argument. Starting from SQL Server 2012, you can format numeric types using the T-SQL FORMAT() function.
