If you must have this you will want to utilize regexp_replace to identify the situation and replace it. A simple "\.$" check and a substring would work also. > > David J.
Thanks David. Just curious what part of this you would question. The case for numbers, currency in particular, coming out with a decimal and pennies when present, and as whole dollars when not (and without a decimal place at the end) seems pretty common and clear cut. What am I missing in your question? Cheers, Ken
