Hi!

I have been trying to convert this column to int.

Here is my query:

SQL

SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING(loanAmount, PATINDEX('%[^0 ]%', loanAmount + ' '), LEN(loanAmount))AS INT)
FROM [dbCMSextract].[dbo].[tblLoanMaster_copy]

But it keeps returning me this error:

Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1<br />
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '1.00' to data type int.

Sample Data
loanAmount: 00001.00

SQL

CAST('00001.00' as float)

will work
if you need int type

SQL

SELECT CAST( CAST('00001.00' as float) as int)

or

SQL

SELECT CAST(ROUND('00001.00',0,1) AS INT)

Try this ,

SQL

SELECT Cast(Cast(SUBSTRING('1.00', PATINDEX('%[^0 ]%', '1.00' + ' '), LEN('1.00')) as Decimal) as Int)

Or

SQL

SELECT Cast(Cast(SUBSTRING('1.00', PATINDEX('%[^0 ]%', '1.00' + ' '), LEN('1.00')) as float) as Int)
